back in the 60s a white reporter was able to change his skin pigment enough to become a black person and experienced the day to day racism he had been unaware of as a white person. I remember reading about it in the book "Black Like Me". It's not much different for women, even strong women.

From a male perspective, you may not see the day to day sexism that takes place but even strong women experience it. Strong women push back in a thousand different ways, other women just accept that they are going to be treated in the manner they are.

Even a strong women can get worn down from the constant need to stand strong to even survive.
