It sounds like you come from an honest place and other viewpoints are always helpful, but really, the hard work has to come from you. It can be an exhausting expectation for others to educate you.

Your last paragraph really makes me sad. I don't believe she is expecting you/us to teach her, she is asking for guidance and perhaps maybe a bit of understanding of where she is coming from.

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.
