Reading these brilliantly written insights makes my shriveled old heart expand with hope.

Looking forward to more!

You have an opportunity to do some teaching here!!!! Let them know that women have power and do not conform to these backward cultural norms!!!

Hi I am Holli’s mom. I was trying to figure out what I would be to you. would I be your step host mom or maybe your fellow sister’s mom so i guess I could be a sister mom, just having fun but can’t wait to meet you. I was telling Holli I was going to accept you on face book but i wasn’t sure if it was you cuz it said you were married.lol. Enjoyed your article. Thanks for taking care of Holls

Great post, Annie! It’s really interesting to hear how you and the other fellows are processing these cultural differences. It was a huge part of my experience last year, and I’m still not sure how to describe it. Well done!

Hi Annie, this is so beautifully written! Reminds me exactly of the uncertainty I felt about how to respond to this stuff… super interesting observation about the absence of the term “date rape,” I never acknowledged that before but it’s an important point I think, considering how many women experience this.
