i'm sure she's seen plenty of strong women.
she needs to pick apart how and why she was treated like the dog in her home. she's never done that.
i plan to pass on some early steinem books i have.

she needs to figure this put about her mom, too. which is why 'fat is a feminist issue' popped into my head. cuz her mom is real heavy, and has the usual health bs, plus autoimmune shit.
she tried to tell me she didnt judge her, til i pointed out that pity is a judgement.

she doesnt need inspiration so much as understanding.
