“I think maybe at some level it would be good if feminism was about raising up women but also femininity, no matter where it is. Sometimes it’s the delicate and the weak and the yielding aspects of life that are the most important.”

Good to know! This is a cool place. I mostly don't rate books I didn't enjoy -- it's hard for me to give authors low marks. I think my systems is: 5=loved it, 4=loved it, but ..., 3=some flaws, 2=significant flaws. But right now I'm mostly inputting all my 5-star books.
