My feminist mentor is heavy set and a BYU graduate. She is about 10 years older than me and one of the sharpest intellects I know. She has told me men look right through her like she doesn't exist.

Back in the day, we'd be playing pool, and guys would talk to her so they could try to get my phone number.

She is not one to play any games. And goddess forbid anyone should call us girls. Oh, man.
