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?
