We teach our girls to quarantine their emotions—isolate heart and reason or risk perceptions of hysteria.We're taught that our anger is a misconception,that our discontent will pass as long as we smile pretty,clean up nice, and play into this courtship dichotomy.This twisted game of act and receivewhere your role is assigned at birth.Well, this is me telling youthat the only winning move is not to play.
