Gisèle Pelicot walking to take the stand today, her strength echoing in every step: “It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them,” she told the court. "I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer,"

I need to stop with the self-deprecating humor because I’m a professional in French of all things, the least self-deprecating culture there is. It’s a tough habit to break because at my core I’m a Midwest Princess (raised in the heart of “ope, sorry”-ville).

One perk of my Ph.D. is that I can now cite dozens of traditional Christian sources that state that no, a nine-year-old shouldn’t ever have a baby, actually.

Things preventing me from writing my dissertation: 1. All the paperwork requiring me to write a 3-5 page description of my dissertation.

Five years ago I would have never seen myself trying to write a chapter section about a 70-year-old retired diplomat who, in the late 13th century, *sincerely* referred to amoral young girls as “little bitches” (garces).

Of all the medieval medical compendiums I read for my dissertation, *only* urology texts make me feel large amounts of sympathy pain. I will never again take antibiotics and AZO for granted.
