Everyone I know, men and women alike, would love to see the world changed so that boys and girls, men and women are valued equally for what we contribute, despite the differences in how our brains and bodies work.

Attention equals importance equals value equals ego. Or, more realistically, Attention equals success.

Ambition is something you turn into a plan to create an online personality, a brand, a network.

What I was being told in my 20s in the close-quartered, male-ego-infused work space, was that I had to stop reacting with my emotions to sexual desire towards me. The change, in other words, had to be made in me.

If sexuality is beginning in such a skewed way: that boys expect to receive sexual pleasure and girls are expected to give it without reciprocation, is that why young women, even unintentionally, turn to getting something else in return for sex? Whether it be popularity, career success, professional attention.

Girls are not just put on earth for men's amusement while they do the important things.

I always expected my work to be what was noticed, appreciated or what would eventually succeed, not my sexuality.
