Quote of the day--from Jane Fonda--in The Guardian.

I was married to Ted Turner and Ted didn’t really help me with confidence and things like that. Jane Fonda. I know a millionaire mother-daughter team, the mother is jealous of the even richer daughter. Both have problems and issues. The mother says her daughter has low self esteem. The mother blames her own mother for everything, including her disastrous elopement marriage to a much older man. A millionaire, a Belgian count, who gave her HPV virus. (Personal details changed here.) Now the daughter is going through a re-run of a composite of her mother and father's (womanizing) lives. If people can't face up to their own responsibility in what happened, then they can face up to nothing. Of the 3 generations the grandmother/s (because this is really a composite of 2-3 real families) are the best. That they could talk to me (while things were happening, as long as 35 years ago), this shows that they "face up". One woman whose house I stayed in for 3 weeks told me my friend/classmate had suffered from abuse (beatings) from an (sexually) impotent husband who turned mean. Another told me how prevalent sex abuse was in India and "casual groping." She told me how athletic she was in her youth, and how she ran after a man on a bike who grabbed her breast as she was walking on a bridge with her own friend, and held him back and confronted him. If you're a woman, don't hide and be ashamed for something not your fault. Join Me Too. See that one day Harvey Weinsteins of this world are taken away in handcuffs. kmk 5-27-2018
