Women need to be able to walk into a shop of any kind and not be worried about being taken advantage of.
Women have their own voices and they shouldn’t have to rely on a man to speak for them because their voice isn’t heard or their words aren’t believed.
Today I am sitting in the dealership waiting as my car is being looked at, not because I said it needed it, but because my dad and ex-husband said it needed it.
Today I’m thankful it will be fixed, but I’m sad it took someone else speaking for me for it to happen.
