in re: daddy, the odd thing about it is that I never HAVE wanted anything different. he and I are remarkably alike, and everything he's ever set me to I've loved and succeeded with. which makes it very hard to rebel!
I'm glad this didn't come across as too terribly harsh/judgmental. it's where I inevitably differ from the radicals - I thrill to their purity & rhetoric but then I oworry about the people under attack. I'm super worried right now about how Beyonce's handling hooks' remarks; she's been doing feminist baby steps, and lord I know that if bell hooks called me out like that I'd be a wreck!
