“There exists, for everyone, a sentence—a series of words—that has the power to destroy you. Another sentence exists, another series of words, that could heal you. If you’re lucky you will get the second, but you can be certain of getting the first.”
—Phillip K. Dick
Women Do Things That Men Don't Do, or Do Better Than Women
One time, not too long ago, I saw a few people do a thing. They were almost like me, except they had nicer shoes. And this thing they were doing was something that a lot of people do, but it was different because it meant something larger, because it was happening in New York City and they were women.
A few days later, I saw another woman doing the same thing, but I wasn’t doing it, so I wondered how all women could do such a thing.
So I pitched a trend piece on the thing, because writing is hard and I have a lot of female friends who do the same things.
