So there I was... it was the winter of 2007. I was a young man who had not yet discovered my feminine side. It has always perplexed me... why can't I find it?
Then... after reading this sweet coming of age story Sue Monk Kid's The Secret Life of Bees... I discovered why.
I read about Lilly... a young white girl in the mid 60's who ran away from home in search of more information about her dead mother when she discovered a home full of black sisters.
She discovered her womanhood and the real lack of difference between blacks and whites.
And I discovered... that I couldn't find my feminine side... because... I am a dude...
No matter how much Sue Monk wanted me to be a girl... trying to convince me with her writing...
I will not be tricked!
Oh yeah... the book is pretty good too.
