I started working in a restaurant at 14 and wholeheartedly agree with this piece. What was at first intimidating—became empowering.

Best line from the article: "my feminine virtue, traditionally understood, allowed me to control men." How has this simple fact become controversial? Aside from those few, (very) bad apples, most men would go to great lengths to gain approval from a woman.

This over and over: "Losing the ability to appreciate nuance is not a triumph of moral progress. It is stupidity masquerading as enlightenment."

I copied the same lines. Beautifully stated!

Yes, I also worked in a diner as a teen and it was an awakening. There was blatant sexual harassment (in today’s terms) constantly. But I learned to work with it’s flow instead of against it. I made great tips, got along with the staff, and didn’t need to sacrifice my own values.

Wow... what an amazing and articulate piece written by a wise woman, that accurately describes the environment I experienced from age 12 to 17 working in a diner. Interesting to read it from the feminine perspective. How refreshing, and it gives me hope.
