When I raise my voice, other people recognize my anger instead of dismissing me as hysterical or uppity.
When I speak, other people are willing to accept that I am speaking from a point of logic instead of one from emotion.
When I am faced with something physically challenging, other people take it at face value as something genuinely challenging instead of assuming that I am weak.
When I do something with my phone while driving, other people will forgive me instead of ostracizing my irresponsibility.
When I give my word of commitment, other people trust me instead of wondering if children will cause me to break that commitment.
When I do not pay attention to my appearance before I leave the house, other people will value me the same instead of thinking less of me.
It's really weird. When I make it personal, it means more then when I think "women have to deal with this or that."
