I agree and I thank you for writing these pieces.
In any case, where I was trying to get to is my personal lack of imagination in creating or inserting myself in more cooperative spaces.
I was trying to point my shortcomings.
The patriarchy is seductive because as you say, it plays with our sense of insecurity.
Hopefully I’ll be able to see other environments were cooperation is encouraged and it’s not (therefore I don’t behave as if I want) to be the top dog. Which like you said, leads to a lot of my frustrations.
Thank you, Elle truly for doing what you do and remind us what we have in front of us is not the only thing we have.
