Germany held the reminders and constraints of an authoritarian father, and I desperately needed to be free of rules and expectations. Little could I have known what life would be like in the States, where I quickly found myself stuck in a trailer in South Carolina, surrounded by pine trees with no one else around other than a controlling, alcoholic spouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFast forward five years. Happily divorced and free from a dominating male presence, I moved to a new state, finally able to explore life as an independent woman. Along the way, I was fortunate to encounter several men who turned into mentors, supporters, best friends, and even one soulmate. However, there was no dodging the male rule for long. As I stepped into corporate management, I quickly started to understand a woman's expected role in a setting dominated by men. It was an environment I had been trying to escape from since childhood. I realized escape was not the solution, only a deliberate avoidance. I wanted to become an active participant in the fight for women's rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor me, it meant quitting my corporate job in 2018 to start writing \u003cstrong\u003eDICKOTOMY, A Dickless Memoir\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eDICKOTOMY\u003c\/strong\u003e showcases some of the male characters women encounter in all aspects of their lives.
