Women are making a turn towards subjectivism...no longer willing to rely on others, such as people with a higher status as them or a person with authority. These women are turning to people they can trust, other women that have meaning in their lives and have been there with them and for them.
I found this chapter very disturbing, in a way that in my world we only hear of such things and never have had a friend live it and I am grateful for that! I can understand why women in certain situations feel powerless, helpless and worthless. Men look for a weak women, and that is not me being mean towards a women, it is because the man who finds the weak is weak himself. He would not know how to act if another man would treat him the way he treated his wife or girlfriend. So I feel men do prey on the weak, just so they can feel superior in ways.
The women they kept going back to throughout this chapter made me realize that yes, go with your gut, cause your gut will lead you in the right direction, it is your own body telling you not you listening to someone else, I found this women an inspiration for others to learn from, she would be very interesting to listen to, to let her talk about her life where she has been and where she is going!
Knowledge is a powerful thing, some women need to realize that and use what they know now and build on it for the future. This chapter was an eye opener for me. I am lucky to have come from an wonderful and giving family and I am thankful everyday. I will pass along what I have learned from my parents to my three daughters.
