No thanks. I'm okay with that and it's for nothing to do with bitterness or any of that claptrap.

It's also both okay and acceptable to spend your life as a lone wolf, even as a woman. In fact, many women are proving that solitary lives are the way to thrive.

Nonetheless, I tire of men feeling the need to rebuke or chastise women like Yael for what they write under the false guise of protecting young women from "bitterness", or whatever. It's not up to you to determine what another reader takes from her work or whether or not it should be successful. Who do you think you are?

No one asked for your mentorship, sir. And believe me, the average young woman is already schooled well enough in relationships that she can run circles around the average middle aged man at the tender age of 16. They don't need your all's help either.

You might think the self serving nature of this faux "concern" you have for young women is obfuscated and invisible.

It is not. It's very clear and there's a well worn stench to it too.
