I am not a damsel in distress, nor do I need rescuing.
Ziggy, the IOS agree
You are a tough girl and have earned our absolute respect. You plunged into the ocean and suffered serious injury, but you survived. Your mental strength and determination helped you remain afloat while still caring for your patient - you saved two lives in that hour, you both survived. You have stood up to the Beast known as CAsA, amid legal threats and intimidation, and you have survived. You mention the physical and emotional pain, the moments of doubt and the periods of anger, yet again you continue to survive.
You have experienced something that the absolute vast majority of us would likely never experience in a 1000 lifetimes. For that you earn my absolute respect. You are not a 'damsel in distress'. Only a conceited, ignorant, self opinionated sexist batty boy would think that you are.
