Agreed-I’m an older person and non-Muslim and still get the looks and blunt questions!

I’m happy to oblige, though. That I do not suffer the same and serious bias as you do (where the act of going in for birth control is an act of defiance and sinful), I’m free to educate (think: put them in their place) if possible.

It’s crazy in the era we live that people don’t wait outside and shower us with gifts and praise for being exceptional and smart women.

Good piece; thanks for sharing a glimpse into your world.
