Thank you so much for writing about your experience. It's wonderful to hear thoughts from the inside of any controversial issue. And you make an interesting point -- in today's world, any person (or population) that chooses to be quiet or reserved is automatically considered to be in silent agreement. We are such a media-centric society that this seems to be the only interpretation we can put on it.
Unfortunately, that reserve also keeps the other side of the story from being told. And often keeps us from understanding those on the quiet side. So thank you again, and I hope more women with different perspectives will write.
