A lot of middle class people are like the masculine Elon. They're not that bad to sit next to on an airplane. They're even quite nice. But when you start to get to know them, they're so obsessed with their own status and their own money, to a fault. And they get a lot of their identity from having kids.
However, there was also a feminine Elon in my life. This was a friend of my mother's, and she gave me that "Circle of Stones" book about women honoring their menstrual cycles.
"Circle of Stones: Woman's Journey to Herself by Judith Duerk"

I remembered her name...No, I didn't, not right away. She inscribed it in the book, which she gave to me when I was in middle school. And I saved it. Then, years later, I took it down and read the inscription, and that's when I remembered her name.
She was a creative woman and she was married but she didn't have kids. She liked to do crafts with us. I remember thinking to myself, "Gosh I could be like her one day."
So maybe some middle-class people are more like the feminine Elon, who was a woman.
