I like the equality comment as well.

I agree with your unpleasant idea about feminists. I didn’t have such a good image before because I always saw it as women thinking they had to be better than men somehow or the man-hating idea.

I like thinking about feminism as, I guess, getting to a place where my gender doesn’t matter as much. I can work and interact with people without being assessed differently because of gender. I dunno, it’s all pretty complicated for me though — I still don’t have a good way of explaining it.

You’re right — I think it would have been cool to see Frankie try to star her own club, but I also don’t know if that would have been realistic. There’s something relatable, at least for me, about wanting to fit into a place where you feel like you don’t. Starting your own club is like admitting you won’t fit which in some ways isn’t immediately satisfying. I think Frankie sort of learned the lesson about all of this at the end though.

And I agree, I think Frankie would be fun to see in some more books. I’d love to see what she learns and how she tries to balance her life better after this.
