While searching for a book in the depths of a closet, I found this...made by my Grandfather. He was born in Maine, a test pilot in WWII, and featured in The Big Little World of Doc Pritham. He taught me how to make 'a birch bark cup' to survive in the woods. Has anyone else encountered these?

Jenny Racicot is a Heroine.

I'm a woman born in Maine and has lived in Maine my entire life.

What was done to her was done to me. The parallels zapped me back to the night an ex arrived drunk at my door. The first thought was...is he okay? As I reached into the cabinet to get him a glass of water, he ripped my pants down, chased me around my apartment, and had did everything but while I tried to calm him down. - To the men who hate us, hate feels terrible, try not to.

Look at any left/middle/right/alt/hip/tictok story out there now. Everything either blames women or tells us how it's our responsibility to avoid it. We need to FIGHT.

That's what 'saved' me. He was so entitled and inebriated that he sat down after being rightfully shamed.

I didn't scream, call the police, or make him leave. My one and only thought when he was trying to force me to be with him was....is he going to hurt someone else if I make him drive off.

Edit: Women, We Know It's THEM.
