on NOT being given.

so i think the dad wants to give me away. Or walk me down the aisle. Or something. And ... it'd make them happy. but aren't i enough of a feminist to be extremely not okay with this? i haven't lived at home for a decade, and even if i had, aren't i my own person to give away? and not anybody else's? is walking solo down the aisle that fucking revolutionary? Artificial. artificial is a good word. i think it might mean rather a lot to the dad. But ... feminist! patriarchy! oppression! ownership!

There's also a ceremony text where the father is saying something like (paraphrasing), "I raised my daughter and cared for her for a long time, will you [the groom] now love her and be there for her?"

i need to not stress about stupid things.
