Girlfriend says it all
I just discovered Tam's blog recently (I know, with an address like that, how did I miss it? three of my favorite things all in one link) and although I'm not counting myself even half as hard-core as she seems to be, I really liked this post: I ain't goin' out like that...
It's not a vigilante thing, or a tough-girl thing (my friends are all laughing their asses off right now at the notion of me being "tough") or even a power thing. It's more of a not-ceding-power thing.
