1. And I hope the women manage to start the process,

Because the men won't. They have too much to lose.

This woman deserves all the respect and support that can be given.

I wish I could give this thread 10 recs.

3. She defines the word "awesome."

I found this while looking for something else. You find the best stuff that way.
