Demosthenes, my apologies for being so “teef.” But you do see how a girl, let’s call her Cicera, who had a bully of an older brother is still feeling worn down by a system that is geared to boys (you know the old line about boys needing a secretary, girls a press agent) and that makes her feel like so much meat, and not even the freshest.
I’m not saying whose reality is more accurate, just commenting.
