As a heavy downpour persists, I glance from the window seat of a yellow bus, and there is an inescapable urge to put my thoughts into writing. The passenger to my right now rests on my shoulder; he probably strained his neck to complete my story. I shift my shoulders to jog him back to reality as his stench announce my surroundings.

I will come back to address those who decide that child-birth (from the vagIna) makes a female more woman, wife, or mother, and any other option makes them less worthy of respect.
