...I really really adore my friends.
I haven't finished reading the whole thread yet, but I will, and I am so
grateful to have thinking, feeling, important people like y'all in my
life.
(When I posted my reaction to a quick skim of the original post, I had no
idea it was A Thing. Not going to apologize for being mildly amused at
the thing and thinking of silly things it might cause me to post(*), but I
will apologize to anyone who thought I was in any way endorsing the idea
that women are not the owners of their bodies, and the final arbiters of
who gets to touch them.)
(* Anyone who thinks I would actually base my friendslist on which people
I'd allow to touch my breasts either doesn't understand me or hasn't
looked at my friendslist lately.)

Date: 2008-04-23 03:25 pm (UTC)IIRC, even the creators of LJ have said that deciding to name it the "friends list" was, in retrospect, a dumb idea. It's not supposed to be "this list of people who I unequivocally trust"; it's supposed to be more like "this group of people whose stuff I find interesting enough to read regularly".
