We live in a world where gender bias is a conversation.  Just five years ago, it wasn't even a thought. No one talked about it on Facebook.  

I entered adulthood when sexual harassment was still a thing.  No one was talking about its unfairness or the ways it suppressed women. 

Now, we see it. I mean, I've experienced it my whole life, but it never had a name until this year. Now, we're all talking about it. 

Sometimes, I'm almost mad at myself for not stopping it.  I can't even tell you what 'it' is, but if you're a woman, you know.  I am mad at myself.  It should have never continued so uninterrupted. 

There I go.  Blaming myself.  Which is exactly what our society has taught us.  If I am victimized by a man, it is somehow my fault. 

I lift weights.  I used to think, I just wanted to look good. Until, I learned what it felt like to be strong. 

Never a victim. Never again.
