Alternately, I'm open to taking over a castle community. The French have a tradition know as Beguine Communities, where women could retreat into female only spaces without taking vows. After everything I've learned about the rape gangs, Epstein and the problems face Refuge for funding, I think we need something like that here. The Government at every layer has shown it does not care about women. We should stop demanding equality - they don't think us worthy of it. We need a matriachy example. Run by women, for women. Stop asking for scraps.

I reckon many retreated to a nunnery in the past.

Do I have to lop a boob off?

Only if taking up archery (and even then, we now have minimiser bras).

I have visited several béguinages (now mostly mixed sex or sold off, I fear) and they are delightful. A little house for each woman with enough space for her furniture, clothes, books and cat, then all one's female friends nearby and a communal garden. Paradise.

I'll come with you.
I've had it with men and their entitlement, their abuse and their excuses.
