Why Speaking Up Continues to be the Most Important Thing

Another powerful and important opinion piece. A good follow-up to what I posted last night. It is true that as women, we often expect men to read our minds without us having to speak up about what we really want, feel, need. It is true that men cannot read our minds. The problem is that nothing gets communicated clearly, misinterpretations are bound to happen and, in one's perception there was a misunderstanding and, in another there is a feeling that "my signals" should have been clearly understood. It doesn't work that way.
