Hey, Girl! Of all the things that you can call a GAW ( Grown Azz Woman) I find it incredibly insulting to refer to them as cute. Why? Great question.

It shows up in language and words like "cute" are used to ignore our full and rich lives. I ain't cute. Cute is nonthreatening & and small. That ain't how we rock in midlife. Hosted on Acast.
