My first impulse was to berate you for that ‘part of the culture' thing. ‘That’s what they know about our culture?!?!’ I thought, every patriotic cell in me revolting. ‘Hell, my two square mile town alone is older than New York!’ I thought instantly. But then, I had a very vivid flashback of my grandfather telling me ‘ALL women are whores' when I was 6. SIX!!! And I distinctly remember that I knew what it meant. At six. ‘I don’t know how or when I’d picked it up' was my first thought only to have another flood of memories tumbling down on me — smells, visuals, tactile feelings included. Jaden Violet told me in a post that her grandfather taught her to give thanks. Mine…was born in 1910 and had other perceptions about women.
