"See that woman over there?" I said pointing toward a woman who was slithering all around the dance floor.

"Yeah, she’s danced with like seven girls already," Yun Jing said.

"That’s right, a predator," I said, "look at the confidence she exudes. Look how she talks to women and looks into their eyes. Look how beautiful she is. If a woman has every single one of those things she’s a predator."

"And how do I stop myself from becoming a predator?" Yun Jing asked.

"Well if you respect a woman and worship her and you don’t whore around with a bunch of women," I said, "you’ll never become one."

"I could never do that," Yun Jing said.

"Oh okay, do you see that shy girl sitting over there," I asked.

She turned and saw the young Japanese woman who kept looking at her but was obviously too shy. She was a beautiful, petite woman. Young but not new to the lesbian community. She would be the perfect experience for Yun Jing.

"Yes," Yun Jing said, "she’s very pretty."

"And she keeps looking at you," I pointed out, "why don’t you go ask her to dance?"

"What? How do I even do that?!" Yun Jing said in distress, "boys always asked me to dance not the other way around!"

"Well it doesn’t always work that way with lesbians darling," I said, "some women may look butch but they’re very feminine and get picked up instead of picking up other women. Some look feminine, like your Auntie Tina, but they can be very aggressive and very manly. It’s good to have an equal amount of that femininity and masculinity."

"Like you," Yun Jing said.

"Yes," I said with a smile.

Yun Jing took a deep breath then walked to the girl’s table. I leaned against the bar and watched her. She spoke to the girl for a while and the girl laughed. Then she grabbed her hand and they walked to the dance floor.

I have to say, I never wanted to see my daughter dancing like that. She was shorter than the girl so she was in front of her grinding against her and the girl, obviously more experienced than I thought grabbed her hips and moved with her. Oh jeez, I wish I could drink right now.
