I am awed - truly - by the strength & intelligence & wit - and for the most part solidarity - evidenced by so many women I've encountered in this strange world.
That they freely openly joyfully share aspects of their sexuality - visual, emotional, sometimes spiritual, always beautiful - as "pure"'expressions of female essence is a marvel to me. Clearly it's a playing field conducted in respect, support, pride, and equality (gender and otherwise).
This FCN world has its fair share of bottom feeders and others who may struggle with social skills or sexual/culture boundaries. Or are just plain rude). It ain't paradise.
I probably won't be here for a long stay as many have been. And I'll have several take-aways to mull when I pass.
But I know that impressions of several of the women I'll carry a long time.
It's a funny thing, as a man navigating and enjoying these hallways, where images and repartee would seem to further cultivate males objectifying women; yet those women themselves counter such tendencies by their voices, their presence.
