A<\/insert>We a<\/delete>re we <\/insert>surfing the Third Wave right now but still have <\/insert>no cure for the egregious mono-kini tan line? <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be upfront about my own struggle. I won\u2019t sugar<\/delete> <\/delete>coat things. Take last Friday night when I tried to properly perform my gender and hide the instability of self for Marco, the hunky male form who wanted to take me salsa dancing.

Am I the only one that feels that modern so-called “<\/insert>progressive“<\/insert> society forgets about us women?
