friendly reminder that Neteyam is a well-adjusted kid who has a good relationship with his parents, that he tries his darnedest to be a good warrior because he genuinely looks up to his dad and wants to be like him, and that the idea that Jake and Neytiri are "forcing" him to be perfect, that they "stole his childhood" or that he's "not allowed" to be a kid, etc. are all pure fanfiction with little to no evidence in canon thanks bye
#avatar#avatar 2#neteyam#given how hesitant Jake is to let Neteyam fight I can absolutely GUARANTEE you that there was almost certainly NEVER an interaction...#...in which Neteyam said ''hey Mom and Dad I'm gonna go hang out with Lo'ak and Kiri now''#and Jake and Neytiri reply ''no son you're too old for such childish things you must come do Adult Tasks that you secretly hate instead#so you can be the Perfect Future Olo'eyktan™"#THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN#AND IT'S NOT “IMPLIED” TO HAVE HAPPENED EITHER#Y'ALL MADE THAT UP IN YOUR HEADS#along with the idea that Neteyam secretly hates his lot in life and is internally yearning to be A Normal Kid™#guys Neteyam WANTS to be a warrior he WANTS follow in Jake's footsteps he strives so hard because HE *WANTS* TO OF HIS OWN ACCORD#there is absolutely d i d d l y s q u a t that suggests this path is being “forced” on him#or that he is being secretly ~crushed under the pressure~ and Just Wants to Be Free or w/e#you. made. that. up.#it's not a canon aspect of his character#and. look. if you wanna explore the idea of him being ''crushed under pressure'' in a fanfic#because you find it interesting or it helps you work through your own stuff then hey be my guest#but once you start saying stuff like#''oh i feel so bad for [canon] Neteyam because he died before he could break free of his parents' toxic influence''#Shut Up™#neteyam's parents were not a toxic influence; he was never forced into being something he didn't want to be; his childhood was not “stolen”#he did not have anything to “break free” of. you are injecting extra layers of tragedy that aren't actually there#you are giving yourself extra grief for things that were never canon#stahp#feel free to write whatever you want in fanfiction but please i am begging you#to be aware of which ideas are actually present in the movie vs. which ones are just fanfiction

dam is it inconvenient or perhaps annoying to you to hear someone talk abt the lifelong treatment received for Existing While Fat, on the Fat people account, where the artist posts Fat art? does the topic stop existing if it's been a couple hours since I last mentioned it. I'm super sorry abt that. have you considered dying about it?
#feel absolutely free to die mad about it anytime#those damn fatties are talking about being fat again on their own social media. how are they not Over It by now!#I'm so inconvenienced by this!#sergle.txt#''yeah I followed you on your account where you talk abt fatness and you make art abt fat bodies but#i didn't expect you to like...

Anyway they can change between being tiny and human sized. And when they're tinier they can only be seen by the other fae or their selected humans. So if you just passed Noll on the street while Shavuli was perched on his shoulder chatting away you wouldn't see or hear her.
#my characters#a lot of the fae who are trying to get noll to pick a human take turns joining him as he wanders if he opts to be human sized#if he opts to be small and fly around none of them can actually find him to follow bc he does it precisely to be alone#and makes careful to avoid all of them when he dips#which furthers their friendly obsession with him being their void like where is he we lost him we gotta go bring him back from the abyss!#and hes just off on his own being crippled by anxiety at being a disappointment bc what if he isnt fun enough#absolutely unaware that all his friends are like we gotta go find him hes too good at this#hes going to win the game we have clearly set up to involve humans before he even recruits a human#cause he is TOO GOOD at slipping away ITS NOT FAIR we love him what a weird fae thats our lil guy!#noll really is just out there impressing all of his friends and not knowing hes impressing them bc hes too scared of being abandoned#and i was telling rae but when he does find the human he wants as his for the game#hes like ok so im gonna be honest here i turn into a big sword and you are definitely not going to be strong enough to carry me#and the human just like ok then pick someone else?#and hes like no no i cant you dont get it youre resourceful and im resourceful THEREFORE! i have an idea! just for us!#and then proceeds to shatter himself into shards basically#so that the human can have many smaller easy to control swords rather than one too big sword#and when all of the other fae see it they are absolutely delighted bc they didnt know he could do that! thats so cool! wow! they love him s#and he doesnt tell them that it actually really flippin hurts and being broken is agonizing but he wants to win so badly#anyway hello appreciate the void fae noll and his lil buddy shavuli who can turn into a spear C:#in her human form though she loves to wear hoodies instead of just like .... a skin tight suit with draping fabrics#she does wear biker shorts bc leggy.... she likes to have legs free#but she likes hoodies a lot

Fucking hell
This is in regards to the very recent Antisemitism Awareness Act that’s currently going through American legislature. It aims to direct the Department of Education to use the definition above when enforcing federal anti-discrimination laws.
And, as you can see by Lawler’s statement, I think we can all see just how flimsy and open to interpretation this definition is. Perception of expression: that literally seems to be their criteria; and wow, did you know that perception is flexible and flimsy as hell? That perception can be really really wrong sometimes? Speech is hard to handle legally in the first place because of how much of a legal gray area it falls into, so a lot of efforts that try to curb certain kinds of speech, i.e hate speech, are always going down a slippery legal slope. That's why speech is always hard to attack and defend; and also how some lawyers' entire career is centered around it.
And wow, you might think, all the while the college protests have been happening! (a post in of itself, but if you know how police responded to BLM, and the Vietnam Protests, and the Civil Rights protests…mhm, you know what to expect)
This was introduced in October 26, 2023. What is true, however, is that when bills can be vote on there’s a bit of a scheduling system in place so that each bill has time to be considered before going to the Floor. But you can speed up which bills get to the Floor, just as you can delay them. Also, here’s a list of actions the bill has gone through so far. Make of that what you will.
It’s only passed through the House of Representatives, and it’ll have to pass the Senate and then get signed by the President. But seeing the timing of this bill as well as the overwhelming majority it passed with 320 to 92. Three hundred twenty; 77.6% of those voting approved the passing of this bill. It’s honestly depressing to see how partisan this bill is so far in a place infamously growing more and more bipartisan. Given the Republican Party (the right-leaning party; the one with Trump) has the majority in the Senate, the next House of legislature this bill will have to pass, AND how Biden has expressed pro-Israel sentiments, I feel like the only thing that’d be able to stop this bill is either the Senate somehow not passing it, or having the Supreme Court step in and rule it to be Unconstitutional. Both of which I find very unlikely.
I haven’t seen much about this (a little shocking, but this also only came to light just yesterday), so that’s why I’m making a post where I have a bit of a following. It’s sickening looking at this double standard and how the kinds of people who reaffirm “my First Amendment rights” only really seem to care when it’s their speech. Fuck this bill. It is so, so obvious what kind of shit it’s trying to do. It pisses me off just how much Western media and politicians in general and trying to stifle or justify the mass genocide, ethnic cleansing, and extinction of an entire people and their culture. This bill is just a horrid microcosm of the culture surrounding this. It doesn’t protect Judaism, it protects Zionism (explicit to an almost shocking degree, IMO). Do not get it twisted. Anything that allows for genocide does not respect the sheer horrors faced by Jews due to the Holocaust. Colonialism and hate. That’s all it is. I do not think that’s worth defending. I think it’s much better to actually make efforts to tear down the actual antisemitism in the world because when actual antisemitism happens, that’s how dehumanization happens. And the more people we dehumanize, the MORE people will get dehumanized. Do not dehumanize one group of people, Palestinians, and say that something good can arise from it. It won't. It never has and it never will.
People are dying and they are allowed to die like fucking animals, because Israel is just too politically fucking valuable. People are dying in mass graves with their wrists zipped together and it’s called ‘self defense.’ People are dying due to a violent, modern colonial movement; and for what? A beach? A place to oil rig? A shopping mall with McDonald's and Starbucks? This effort to kill an entire people is needless. There is no reason it needs to be done, but clearly, the hate and greed in some people’s hearts was just too tantalizing. The money from the oil, and the opportunity to personally execute "human animals."
Free Palestine. Maybe the country that prides itself on the rights to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ remember that.
In the meantime, speak. You have a voice. Use it.
#palestine#from the river to the sea palestine will be free#free Palestine#Gaza#yeah kind of sorry to my followers for this just coming out of the blue but it needed to be said#that being said I’m no expert on US law and my understanding of US gov is fairly generalized#people who know US law better than me feel free to make corrections or additions#thank you to the students protesting knowing how the US police respond to these sort of things. for putting this before your own education

Can the balanced dog trainers please stop fucking talking about positive reinforcement as if those dogs are not “obedience trained”? A majority of competition obedience dogs I know were trained with R+. Letting your dog wander on the end of a line because you want to do so does not = untrained. It is simply…a choice.
#dogblr#dog training#I try to hear both sides and follow a diversity of people but this really stands out to me#1.) balanced means using multiple quadrants. positive reinforcment is part of that#2.) balanced trainers come off really insecure in their own philosophy when they do stuff like this#you should not have to put down other dog owners and trainers to elevate yourself#if you have to do this constantly there is a problem#the reality is to me so many of these people scream ‘I’m important and smart look at me me me!’#the equating of r+ as = untrained in these circles is wildly prolific#‘I fixed this former r+ dog that was reccomend for BE!’#acting like all r+ people are the inexperienced pet folks who have taken a single puppy petsmart class#and not a wide variety of individuals with varying abilities#meanwhile how dare r+ and force free people put THEM in the same box as abusive aversives using people#it’s just…how do these people have time to be like this#like shouldn’t you be training dogs?#every time people talk poorly about positive reinforcment I want to take them to a zoo#the hyenas do cooperative care with positive reinforcement#the tigers wolves and bears and other large dangerous animal too#your domestic dog is not different or special or in any way more in need of aversive treatment

Her brother laughed a little. “Ah, Shae, if you decided to betray me, what could I do? What’s the point of life if you can’t even trust your own kin?” He kicked her foot under the table, a teasing, childish gesture. “For you to hand my head over to the Mountain, you must really hate me. I must be such a terrible brother that I’d deserve to die. So there was nothing to be done about it.”
- Jade City, Fonda Lee
#green bone saga#fonda lee#quotes#my rambles#speaking of scenes that live rent free in my head#it's been probably over a year and a half since I last read this book and I keep thinking of this#how incredibly trusting. how incredibly noble，to place your life in the hands of the people you love#and to trust that if you were betrayed，they have good reason#jade city#like AGH hilo's such a magnificient bastard he does some really hateable things and I hear there's more down that line#but also I can't hate him all that much bc he has his own honour code that he follows to a T and he can be *this* noble and selfless#idk does this make sense#I need to continue reading jade war the series is excellent#book quotes#10n#20n#50n

i think everyone on sunnytwt needs to be sat down so i can explain to them what basic human empathy is. and then maybe i put them in a blender until they agree to write meta about the characters instead of whether or not charlie day got facial reconstruction surgery.
#ada speaks#u do not exist in a vacuum and your words have the capability to harm others#celebrities may not see your tweets but your balding transmasc mutual and your follower who feels self conscious about her nose will#it is fucking bizarre the way these people conduct themselves online#really. really fucking weird man#and then you see them acting like ppl are 'defending rich white men'#instead of taking issue with the actual shit theyre saying#whether or not you think rcg has been 'under the knife' or not#a) how is this any of your business. you are not entitled to this info nor do you have a free pass to criticize someone's personal choice#b) ask yourself why you feel you need to critique alleged surgeries and how they stack up to imposed conventional beauty standards#c) you do not *own* them. you can have opinions on your own attraction to them but#a person getting plastic surgery or hair plugs or whatever is up to them. not you. if it helps to make them feel better then who cares.#just because it doesn't make them attractive to YOU doesn't mean its okay to point and laugh#if a trans guy got top surgery and it was 'botched' would you act like they were stupid for getting it in the first place?#if a trans woman decided she wanted to surgically shave her jaw would you shame her for that?#it's their body. it's not yours.#for the record i don't believe any of them have gotten work done but think its a stupid thing to speculate on regardless#ive watched family members go through plastic surgeries of varying success. ive seen them get botox and hair plugs and everything#normal everyday people do it and it's not always about vanity#it can be for gender reaffirming reasons (and yes this includes when cis people do it) to alleviate dysphoria#trying to point out alleged surgical alterations made is just. gross#not to mention that holy shit MOST of the shit ppl are saying is like. age. different hairstyles. different facial expressions.#maybe if these people actually watched the show theyd be able to see the gang in action instead of staring at pics like spot the difference

What's your opinion on barn cats/mousers? Are they an acceptable subset of "outdoor cat"?
Certainly barn cats pose the same problem as pets that live in more urban environments. They still hunt birds, spread disease, out-compete native wildlife— all that bad stuff. In an ideal world barn cats wouldn't exist so those things would all stop happening. I don't think harmful, invasive species are in any way "acceptable" and I definitely wouldn't encourage it.
At the same time though I do think sometimes the barn cat solutions proposed on tumblr (hiring ratting terriers among some other ideas) also seem a little... unrealistic. At least given my personal experience with farms and farmers, particularly in places far less populated and more remote than the USA. Asking people to get rid of their barn cats cold-turkey is an approach I think would see more pushback than progress.
Working towards better welfare for barn cats and restricting their impact on the environment through education, low cost spay/neuter/vaccine programs and limiting cats' range to the barn buildings only seem like more attainable goals right now. Barn cats are not good for the environment or the cat, but I think we need to take a more gradual approach to the issue than a rip-off-the-bandaid solution in order to make progress. As animal welfare laws continue to develop and indoor cats become the norm in urban areas I think that will also encourage the transition from rural outdoor cats to indoor ones as well.
#if you tell a farmer in the middle of nowhere saskatchewan to give up their free self-sustaining barn cat#and instead insist hire an expensive ratting terrier service that doesn't exist (or purchase and train their own ratting terrier)#they're gonna laugh in your face and not listen to anything else you have to say#a more gradual and collaborative approach might attain more results#i know a lot of my friends and followers are gonna disagree with me on this#but i think this is a situation where you need to meet in the middle#if anyone disagrees with me that's ok#this is just my opinion based on my experiences#turning off reblogs for this bc i know how tumblr loves a nuanced conversation#please don't read this as me supporting outdoor cats bc i really don't#watercr3ss#ask#outdoor cats

What Brad Dourif films I should watch as a beginner fan? Thank you for all the wonderful brad-posts!
Hi, and glad you enjoy the brad-posting! ❤️ Some of these might be obvious, but I won't make any assumptions about what you are/aren't familiar with....
I think these ones are some good places to start. They are varying degrees of overall quality, but all ones where Brad has a pretty major part:
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Exorcist III
Wise Blood
Spontaneous Combustion
Final Judgement
Death Machine
Branching out a bit, these are all still major or good sized roles for Brad and worth a watch:
Istanbul*
Death and Cremation
Horseplayer
Medium Rare
Humboldt County
Ragtime
Sonny Boy
The Wild Blue Yonder
Chaindance
(* While Istanbul has a really good Brad performance, it does deal with heavy subject matter. I won't spoil it, but do ask/look it up if you need to.)
Also, these are some movies I wouldn't necessarily recommend as a whole, but have good Brad characters I have to mention:
Fatal Beauty
Alien Resurrection
Graveyard Shift
Halloween I and II
And, maybe the most obvious, but I'd be remiss not to mention Child's Play and The Lord of the Rings. Although if not already your entry point for Brad, LotR is a big undertaking for his amount of screen time.
Sorry that's a lot lol. As someone who is a completionist and is trying to consume everything, it's hard to narrow down! There is more I could recommend for various reasons, but I think this is plenty for starting out lol.
(Also you didn't ask for TV, but he's had some really good one-off tv episodes that are worth checking out, some of the best probably being The X-Files, Star Trek: Voyager, and Babylon 5. And then there's the whole series of Deadwood where he has a great part!)
#anon: *simple and straightforward question*#me: *long overthought out response*#idk why i'm like this#also followers please feel free to comment if you want to add your own two cents!#ask

"i am a proshipper". "i am an anti". actually you are annoying
#tal.png#NOT A VAGUE ABOUT ANYONE I FOLLOW i was trawling the depths of tumblr and that's on ME#but i don't know why liking or not liking things is a personality trait but i think that's something to work on#like i think that's a character flaw#like for example. 'i don't like incest ships' is not a hot take that's totally reasonable.#but antis will take that idea and use it to harrass people#and proshippers will react to that idea and use it to harrass people#are you like not embarrassed to be doing this... don't you want to mind your own business?#also i just think its embarrassing when self-labelled proshippers act like free speech warriors ngl but that's an aside#ANYWAY i think this is all extremely unimportant but i don't want to do work so im posting abt unimportant things

#So I'm putting all this in tags because I'd prefer it not get out into wider Tumblr. I pondered even posting it but I think some of y'all#are following the drama and/or praying for my family so I figured I'd post an update. Just pretend there are commas and it's all readable.#Got a hearing date today. February 6th. Now I need to get affidavits and medical records. Not much to do in the way of affidavits because#either he made sure no one saw anything or I made sure. (Shame is a heckuva thing.) I really need the medical records from the assault.#Can't get them because I am currently without ID. I am currently without ID because I have had a beginner's permit for ~10 years now and#those have to be renewed in-person every year. Can't get to DMV to get it renewed because... no car. Can't use Uber because you have to#provide your own car seats and where am I going to put three car seats while I'm at the DMV? Can't use bus because... bus lines.#...it's stressful.#Also I'm still not sure about the theology of all this but it's also impossible not to see the Hand of God in freeing me and the boys from#this man so either God will help me work out the theology of it later or I'll ask Him when I get to Heaven.#Practically speaking I will not ever permit him and the boys unsupervised contact again if I can help it because he WILL neglect them#at best and physically hurt them for his own amusement and/or beat them up because of his temper at worst.#...anyway any and all prayers are appreciated.

What's p/p?
Ah, I meant to say, pp, Psycho-Pass. I usually add slashes to avoid unprompted rambles to show up in main tags, sorry if that resulted confusing.
I love Psycho-Pass. I already made a post about why bsd fans might find it enjoyable, but honestly, there's so much more to it beyond what it has in common with bsd.
The prompts for reflection this series offers are just wonderful: on the relationship between citizens and government, on pervasive systems, on freedom of choice and free will, on safety vs. freedom, on discrimination of minorities and creation of scapegoats, on propaganda and brainwashing, on the increasing and treacherous presence of technology in everyday life, on how government uses technology to control and manipulate people, on fighting the system from the inside vs. fighting the system from the outside. I should watch it again too. It's crazy good.
Akane Tsunemori - the coprotagonist of the first season, the protagonist of the second season and overall the true core and heart of the franchise - is one of the most complex and beautiful characters I ever met. Her growth and character development is truly amazing: the way she starts off as unknowing and naïve, and grows so so much from there; how her writing finds this perfect balance between becoming more mature / hardening and staying true to her beliefs - even when everyone, the system, the people she relies to, the people she looks up to - tell her that there's no other way, that it can't be. It's breathtaking. She is a breathtaking character. The way alone that no matter how conscious and aware she becomes of how cruel the world is, how unredeemable people are, how beyond saving the system is, she still keeps believing in humans… It may sound cliché by itself, but believe me, it's wonderfully executed, and her character is truly amazing. Not to mention, the way she mirrors the coprotagonist Kougami is fabulous, but this is not really about him; she's an amazing character of her own right, and I will die on this hill.
The female cast in general is all amazing honestly. Don't get me wrong, the male characters are just as complex and multilayered (and I LOVE Gino and Kou, how couldn't I), but that's… Something we're more accustomed to, while finding well written female characters is objectively much harder. Female characters in Psycho-Pass aren't written as female characters, they're written as people, just as much as their male counterparts are. They have their fears and hopes and strengths and weaknesses just like any other character. I love Yayoi for being strong and coolheaded. I love (LOVE) Shion for being her fabulous self, kind and flirty and confident and with an heart so big, and for her subverting the trope of guy in the chair by being a glamorous woman who's also incredibly competent at her job of analyst. I love Akane's friends and I don't like season 3 but Mai is genuinely awesome and a joy every time she's on screen. I love Risa so much I could die, I love how strong and independent she is, I love the dilemmas she had to face, I love her choices and how they might have been the wrong ones and how it still haunts her, I love the tragedy of her character in general, I love the doomed friendship that used to be between her Gino and Kou. I love love love Fredrica, I love her being bossy and confident, diligent and determined. There's just a lot of… Strong and independent women in Psycho-Pass, and it's not just a way of saying, they really are.
I LOVE women loving other women, canonly, on screen. The confirmation may be delegated to a small moment in the last episode of the first season, but the fact that it's still there nonetheless, and how it confirms that all the previous moments and exchanges were indeed moments and didn't leave it to ambiguity… It's nice, to say that the first season of Psycho-Pass came out in 2012. And you might have to wait eight years, three seasons, five movies for it, but the phrase “I just want to go outside, dine somewhere nice, and go for walks with someone I love” may make it worth it.
And I LOVE how all the leader positions are filled by women. It's a little funny, honestly, in the best way– despite what I made it look like so far, the Psycho-Pass cast is still men-dominated (or at least a pretty equally split 50/50?); yet all the leader positions are always filled by women: Akane and Mika and Kasei and Frederica and Karina, it's always women.
Also, Mika is a brilliant character. Of course I love her. I'm so so sorry for how much hate and criticism she gets (over being a purposely annoying character! Insane! When Dazai exists!), when she does really and excellent job at conveying “look! A fucked up brainwashed individual in a fucked up brainwashing environment! I wonder how that could have happened!”. Not to mention that her growth, her long and devious way to admitting that the system is flawed, is truly well made, too. Unpopular opinion, characters with big flaws, characters who are unsufferable and make lives impossible to everyone around them, characters who mess up again and again, are actually great to watch.
Again, don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore Gino and Kou too ahah. They're both great!! But that you can probably see by your own. Gino in particular used to be my favourite, how his character does a total 180° turn. I love to see men admit their mistakes and make the choice to be better tomorrow.
About that, the relationships between the characters are AMAZING. Especially the main trio Akane / Kou / Gino, all the combinations within it are beautiful and deep and brilliant, so so enjoyable to explore and with their fair share of canon content, while still never straying to romantic territory (I mean, Akane/Kou may be going in that direction, but if that's true, that's the slowest slow burn I've ever witnessed in my life).
What's more. The world building / general premise - a dystopian world, where your predisposition to do crime can be measured and the government makes use of such technology to monitor and control the population and guarantee everyone's safety - is genuinely interesting and compelling. The aesthetic is genuinely cool (AH, now that I think about it, I've got my unfair bias for people in suits, and pp has a LOT of people in suits… ). The opening and endings feature great artists like Egoist, Ryo, Who-ya Extended and Cö shu Nie, so you're sure to love them!!
(Also, Psycho-Pass is something I used to spend entire nights talking about with a friend, and I'm always thinking about her and hold her tight to my heart in every moment so. That's worth mentioning for me, pfffttt. I love my friend so much.)
Finally, because the other Psycho-Pass post I made here keeps haunting me for the lack of trigger warnings, please be aware: Psycho-Pass DOES have trigger warnings. Pretty much for eveything you can think of. Sexual assault and gore and body horror on the top of my mind, but it's quite dark and gritty at parts in its entirety, so please please keep that in mind if you decide to pick it up.
Well, this is the end of my Psycho-Pass love letter for now. Please give it a chance if you can! I'll go rewatch it now. General watch order, in order of release, is season 1 → season 2 → movie → Sinners of the System movie trilogy → season 3 → First Inspector movie → Providence movie. I don't really like the third season or First Inspector movie (the characters are still great tho, even the newly introduced ones), and I've yet to watch Providence. The first season later came out with an extended edition of added scenes between episodes, and they're quite nice, so if you can't get ahold of it, you might want to look up for a compilation of the missing scenes still.
#Me: Psycho-Pass is great! I need to explain people why it's great by exposing different and various aspects of it!#My brain: WOMENWOMENWOMENWOMENWOMEN#To be fair that's just what b/sd did to me lol. I didn't use to pay much attention to it before...#Until it (good female characters writing) was taken away from me#people asks me stuff#Following up ask me what klk stands for so I can rant about it lmao#Although K/ill la K/ill is like. Media literacy level: extreme.#You really have to think it through to get why it's so good–#and the apparent unsuspectable fanservice that doesn't have anything to it doesn't help the case.#(Unless you wonder if the constant fanservice ties with the theme of “women will never be free of objectification of their own bodies–#because that's something coming from how other people decide to view them and thus is out of their control.#The only way to truly be free is to stop giving the things you can't control importance and act noncaring and independent from them–#while you keep fighting for your right to make your own choices in society.#All using as a commentary on how clothing is both women's nightmare‚ something they both desperately hate and yet rely on for strength‚#their biggest weapon‚ their greatest confinement‚ their closest friend and worst enemy.#Ultimately‚ true freedom will not be reached when others stop viewing women as an object for their own pleasure‚#but when women accept themselves and their body and their appearance‚ even naked‚ paying no mind to how others see them.”)
