Most of the accounts that participate so clearly do not care about the truth. They’re here for the entertainment. These people love to have a target, and they’ll tear apart anything you put in front of them.

Allison’s Quotes

“With a mother around, daughters are safe, but without one, they are prey for princes, witches, and beasts alike. They are killed for their insolence, sacrificed for their male counterparts, imprisoned for their desires. Mothers cannot appear in fairy tales because there is no room in the stories for both women.”
― Barbara Bourland, The Force of Such Beauty
