What has happened that we forget, that once we had mentors and teachers, those same people who before us were/are femme's. Were it not for all those beautiful Femme's guiding me, I might still be stuck 30 years ago.
The only message you have conveyed is shame. And that's really sad. Especially coming from another Femme. How's 50's and ironic.

Not shame, personal responsibility. As I said in my post, I think nomad comes from an honest place. I know our femme community will lead in that direction because that's how we roll. Teaching and mentoring is not a passive sport, and requesting a community to "educate/guide you" on issues comes with expectations. Why shouldn't it?
