This is what people miss when they treat generosity as limitless. They see what is offered and assume it comes from nowhere. They do not see what it takes, what it requires, or what it changes. I know the cost of care because I have paid it.

I am an independent woman. I manage my own medications. I take myself to my own medical appointments. I live with chronic pain and autoimmune disease — and I take responsibility for myself every day. I do not need grown men outsourcing adulthood to women and calling it “care.”
