Overhead discussion yesterday that made me sad/angry

yestersay while out shopping and at a checkout so I couldn’t really move I heard a older lady saying to someone really young looking.  Well is she a fighter she needs to be a fighter !!!!  Her reply well she is a bit anxious and scared of the chemo.   I actually wanted to punch the older in the face to imply that only fighters will survive. We have a family friend that did all that she could but she still died.

 And to say that to a young daughter wtf.    


Ggrrr.

    Personally I think you need to be a fighter to be a woman! And fighters come in all shapes and sizes. She may not have been suggesting anything derogatory. As you say, you can fight every day with all your strength and not lick some things. Just as she was not aware of your circumstances, so you are not fully aware of hers. Just another checkout moment!
