Hi Bridget,
I'm with you all the way - I have found a soul sister - because MANY ppl don't see things this way - they talk about speaking-up, etc, etc, ad infinitum - girl power and so on - there's more power in what you say. Most of the time they are banging their head against the wall, wasting energy, and achieving the opposite of what they sought. They could achieve much more by being more selective in their fights.
