think of shame almost being like a bacteria in a Petri dish, that it's like when you put it into this Petri dish and it's all by itself, it just grows, but it's still alone.

Like it is not, it doesn't necessarily mean there's, you're not going to feel some shame, but for it to lessen a bit in some ways. And It is, I wish, I wish, wish, wish, you know, we get to a place in our world where women can just sort of like shirk the shame, you know, and just, you can't even be shamed.

I think in some ways my own reclaiming has been trying to open a path or continue a path that not a lot of women have been able to go through before, which is to be a fallen woman and to rise. letting many other women know it doesn't, I'm not the one to say this.
