It is awful to realize that your "ambivalent" feelings are probably common to lots of women. In my ideal world, every woman would go where she wanted and do what she wanted in complete safety, without oppression, condescension or terrorization. She would be 100 percent proud of her Femininity and everything that had to do with it and never entertain the wistful wish for the privileges and luxuries of being a male, because the glories, privileges and luxuries of being Female would far outstrip their counterpart.
