Someone's going to put the clothes on you, and part of being an actor is wearing costumes. costumes tell you an awful lot about who you are, so you just, it's nothing.

This fear of maleness that they inspire estranges men from every female in their lives to greater or lesser degrees, and men feel the loss. ultimately, one of the emotional costs of allegiance to patriarchy is to be seen as unworthy of trust. if women and girls in patriarchal culture are taught to see every male, including the males with whom we are intimate, as potential rapists and murderers, then we cannot offer them our trust, and without trust there is no love.
Girl Loss Men
