I don’t apologize for was my presence. I have a ready middle finger- and a loud “fuck you” when ANY rude person does this. Yeah, women do it, too. I wasn’t raised this way but as I got older, I figured out some things. One was - take up space. The other thing being sick inside hospitals for, oh 12 damn years. IF you don’t learn to advocate for yourself - yeah you’re bottom of the barrel. You ADVOCATE to SURVIVE. I recommend that to ALL women. Take up space and advocate for yourself. It MATTERS
