We let Willow cut her hair. When you have a little girl, it’s like how can you teach her that you’re in control of her body? If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out in the world. She can’t cut my hair but that’s her hair. She has got to have command of her body. So when she goes out into the world, she’s going out with a command that it is hers. She is used to making those decisions herself. We try to keep giving them those decisions until they can hold the full weight of their lives. —

- He raises a really great point. What would it mean to believe very early that my body was mine. That it’s not for anyone or for any particular purpose other than to be mine until I decide otherwise.

I was damned near 30 before I could believe my body belonged to me & me alone. Dear people who take an issue with this,
Let the Smiths do right by their babies & shut the fuck up about how you think they should parent.

This is correct parenting. Seriously, let your children do what they want with their body BECAUSE IT IS THEIR BODY. My dad personally views piercings as a type of mutilation but did he say no when I wanted to get my ears pierced, my nose pierced, my lip pierced? No, because it was MY body.

World War Two could have been started by anything. For all we know, it could have been because Hitler didn’t like Winston Churchill’s shoes that day.
Anyone have any questions they wants answered of any variety?

Many of the statements in this paper are also noted as coming from a person only identified as ‘Ibid’ in the footnotes. I am not skeptical of Ibid’s view, but I would like to find his/her article and read it for myself.

I turn 26 in 10 days (4/16). It has always been my dream to work on my own project. I am ready to dedicate my life to GVING.
I want it more than you could ever imagine.
If I can raise enough money in the next 10 days- I will walk away from Corporate America and start really chasing my dream.
I hate to desperately ask, but please help me.
I am asking for 5 dollars from every single person possible (hopefully you will share this). I want to start living life the way i know I should be, vs behind a corporate america desk cold calling.
Your 5 dollars will get me out of hell. You missing starbucks today will make my dreams come true, please save my soul from corporate bullshit.
I appreciate you not judging me over this, I just want it so bad- I can’t think of anything else to do. Give me my freedom. http://rally.org/gving
Thank you so much, you will never know what it means to me. EVEN A REBLOG WOULD BE HUGE.
