Limited transformation? Wow.
About 10 years ago I was given the option to never have to work a day in my life ever again. I walked away because I didn't love the man. It's not like he was bad looking, I just knew he would never love me the way I wanted.
Are we going to pretend that young men get given that option at anything close to the frequency as young women?
I am still proud today of the integrity and faith I had at such a young age to do that. Faith in a love that I didn't even know was yet possible.
I don't think it was a limited tranformation at all. I used to shudder when guys said they would "treat me like a princess". I'm not a princess. I'm a red blooded adult human female.
IF ONLY men got the opportunity to have THAT kind of initiation into the world.
