Thank you for being an ally @edouard and for your beautifully written comment and clear thinking! And so true that steemit isn't the only access point but is a particularly good one for women and anyone interested in just about anything!
ps. I too love the collection of comments here!
One horrible thing about patriarchy is how it has disempowered so many of us minorities and as a result, we are reluctant to take our finances into our own hands. For women, this is taken to an entirely different level which is why a community of empowered women can be such an incredible agent of change.
