What a baby. Can't wait till you have him in court!
Those questions....the ones about age, weight, personal appearance -type things...as women, we have been shamed into thinking that answering them diminishes us. Doing this discourages self-acceptance. It conveys the message that getting older is “bad” or less important than being young. Same with our weight. We are discouraged to talk about a weight that might be comfortable, rather than to long for a super- model weight. I, personally, think it's disgraceful that women are discouraged not to embrace ourselves as we circle the runway on our final approaches as we are replaced by youth and the reality is that it's all about pleasing men. This is part of our conditioning. Melanie starves herself while the bloated orange shitgibbon assaults women in dressing rooms.... because it is drilled into our heads that we are “less”.
