I want the neighbors to complain. Iโm tired of being polite about something that matters so much.

But having the title of executive producer actually makes them have to actually listen to me complain.

The opportunities will always be there for you.

Christine de PizanAs children, women are encouraged to be "little ladies." Little ladies don't scream as vociferously as little boys, and they are chastised more severely for throwing tantrums or showing temper: "high spirits" are expected and therefore tolerated in little boys; docility and resignation are the corresponding traits expected of little girls. Now, we tend to excuse a show of temper by a man where we would not excuse an identical tirade from a woman: women are allowed to fuss and complain, but only a man can bellow in rage.

There are no longer classes, who say that we are poor, we are suppressed by you etc.
