Primogeniture…

This is a word/concept that has always made me a teeny bit…urm…uncomfortable.

BTW, that is me being polite and tactful :o)

I always thought it was because I’m the eldest. A girl. With two younger brothers.

The more I learn, the less I believe in the “idea” of Primogeniture.

I will not be demeaned by a stupid, made-up word.

So there.

Just saying :o)
