If I had been a man, I would have been arrested, because I hung outside schools, and I watched moms walk their kids in, and I observed their details ? how many piercings they had in their ears, if they wore silver or gold, how high their boots were, what their hair looked like, how many kids they had, what their kids looked like, what they sounded like, what their accents were.?
