Sice I was a teen the ajority of my friends were boys I guess I found them easier to manage than girls, much more simple relationships. At the age of 30i became a mother now that was an eye opening experience! It really made me feel the inequality encompassing my new life. But, the most important thing that happened was the awakening of the woman in me, a proper strong, boobs out (arf) woman. I also needed women around me, there support and strong bond that being mothers had created in my friends. Women need each other. So I embrace motherhood,I embrace my friends, feminism and everything that goes along with being a woman.
