#shepersisted — Public Fediverse posts

So.

Tonight a family member, someone whom I've loved and respected all of my life, outed himself as a person who believes that I should be and am under the control of a man.

I am content to report that both I and my spouse vehemently disabused him of that notion.

More on this later IF I can gather my thoughts & emotions enough to blog clearly about it.

For now...I feel frustrated & sad. Grieving a sort of death.

And yet, I do feel that contentment...because #ShePersisted. (I am she.) 🤘

She was warned.
She was given an explanation.
Nevertheless, #ShePersisted. ❤️
