when i was 15 i wanted to get my lip pierced and my dad said no because “it would ruin my beauty”. that was the reason. not because of legitimate safety and aftercare concerns. but because it would ruin my physical appearance

he never asked me if a lip piercing would make me feel beautiful. and i dont think he’d care. because he apparently knew what i needed better than i did

fathers need to stop believing that they own their daughters bodies
