You already cut her.

You already demonstrated to her she's not worth a basic hello.

At 3, she won't remember this encounter.

But the impact is already encoded into her brain. Its become part of the wiring.

Because even though you so generously decided to not be a misogynist, you didn't apologize, make amends, or hold yourself accountable for the harms you already perpetrated in any way.

You just went about you life as though there was no harm or the harm was not worth beinf dusses with any sort of redress or justice.

So that little girl is still collateral damage to male entitlement.

But you've decided to not be a misogynist anymore. So it's all good. How magnanimous of you.
