Too Good For Her Own Good
This book has changed my life forever, because for one, I do not subscribe to petty gender roles as imposed on me by the baby boomers I know. I didn’t want to wind up like my family, an OCD ridden people-pleaser. I refuse to please anybody for one. I ignore it when people try to squeeze me up the ass of traditional gender roles. Oh I’m sorry I’m not girly enough for you, let me drink my sass away to allow your manipulation. Alcohol helped me be more conforming for my family, who now won’t give me the time of day since I quit drinking. Then I realize: I’m badass because I intimidate others really well, and thus I quit hiding behind my alcoholism to become a formidable woman.
