>somebody elses daughter or niece.
it is. my point is that until my perspective got a little broader, it was easy to look and not internalize. until i said, "this is an actal person" and "look at this entire situation" -- as opposed to the parts which enticed me carnally-- it was easy to dismiss observing and justify
>how do >you plan to see her >potential mother?
the exact same way. again, don't miss the point. i simply moved to a point where i could no longer witness certain things beyond the affect it may have on ME, the culture i'm in, etc.
>is there any room for respecting >how these women choose to >be seen?
sure. i respect anyone's decision to define how they are seen (to the extent that they can) but, internally, i cannot choose to take part in (or sanction) something i take issue with. period.
