Therapy has helped me realize I have been around abusive men for my entire life, and I am finally learning how to take my power back.
Something that has always cracked me up about Raven is that she really doesn’t fw men in general. I thought it was just a baby thing but she never grew out of it. I admire her spirit in so many ways bc she says the things I didn’t have the courage to say.
One thing that will set her off is being teased and men do this constantly. Even grown men, even my dad. She isn’t here for it ever. And at first my instinct was to control *her* behavior. Bc as women we’re taught to just tolerate it.
Eventually I realized, wait a minute. She is actually right and shouldn’t have to act like it’s ok or normal. Even “innocent” jokes or playful teasing. Now I make sure she understands to let *anybody* know if that’s not how she wants to be treated, period.
You can ask any of my male friends who come around, Raven is a G. 
It might take months for her to even acknowledge your presence, if ever. I’m 100% cool with that.
