I am a guy, but I learned feminism early in my life, in spite of being born in the 40's. Two sisters and a dominant mother helped, thank goodness. That my father was a former US Marine yet was one of the most gentlest and humorous souls that I ever knew, certainly helped my turn to the putatively dark side of feminism. He certainly would have agreed with me.

I think the celebration of women is something to behold. Regrettably, it is not enough. So I do as much as I can to promote it.

And Carolyn Porco is an astounding person by any measure.

My best to you.
