So that self-denial, the discipline, it's the fasting, it's the abstinence from sex, it's

even in its most extreme form, the self-flagellation, whipping yourself.

Exactly.

This is all mortification of the flesh, okay?

And that sounds absolutely insane.

Right.

But how is that different from...

What we do, especially as women, I'm looking at you, Glennon, when there are natural deeds of the body, like the farting and the pooping and the peeing, all 100% natural of the flesh, for some reason we deny that.

self-denial that they are part of life.

And when they show up, we proceed to self-flagellate for being so evil as to let our bodies do what they do.

So farting and pooping and the discussion of that is an actual act of feminism.

This is what you're saying, sister.

I am saying that the body does what the body does.

And if you have shame around the body or self-denial, like for example, that your partner farts, then it's possible that you are trying to put to death what the body does.

which how is that any different from the self-denial?

Okay.

Go on with your poop story.

Why not?

Years later.

Damn it.
