Feminists

It reminds me of that feeling, of being under observation--am I sexy enough?

It was a critical question for me for many many many years. I know that feeling, that need to pass muster.

It's odd now, to have passed into invisibility. Men have no parallel for this experience, what it feels like. I imagine they face it later, perhaps to a lesser degree, much later. I don't know what it's like for them.


I think the silver accentuates the age---the age that signifies you have passed the "shelf date" and are no longer of interest.

That's the tyranny of, and the freeing from being ruled by biology.
