This morning I was remembering a period of about nine or ten months in my 20s when, as a new feminist, I was determined to stop being "nice" and deferential. I quit laughing at things men said, for example. And I didn't smile as a reflex, just because I was a woman and my face was in public. And I started arguing. I did not stay quiet when I thought people were wrong.
But also, I would take a stand and hold that position, refusing to give in even when I knew I was wrong.
I must have been so insufferable.
Sorry, everyone who knew me then.
