Bonsai does not require genetically dwarfed trees but rather depends on growing small trees from regular stock and seeds. Bonsai uses cultivation techniques like pruning, root reduction, potting, defoliation, and grafting to produce small trees. [src]

Girls are treated like bonsai trees. They’re capable of as much as boys, but parents cut them down to size. It’s easy to grow a regular tree. it’s hard to grow a bonsai. This is what is meant by “it’s so hard to raise daughters.”

If you plant a bonsai tree in the grown and forego pruning and training, the tree will develop its full root system and begin growing to its full size. Bonsai trees are not a special species, instead they are full-size trees that are continually manipulated to remain small. [src]

No matter how long a tree has been clipped and pruned and de-leafed and sliced, no matter how long it has been in a bonsai, it is still a tree. When set into soil and left untrimmed, it grows.

after the police car arrived, his behaviour changed completely, he started to cry and beg them not to take him, promising that he didn't do nothing wrong.

i felt so sick, so angry and disgusted, i tried to do something right and instead a woman got sexually assaulted because of some sorry excuse of a human.

oh and the best part? two men approached when he was taken to the ambulance (two paramedics and a policeman had to hold him down to give him some meds to calm down). they started to ask the paramedics and police not to be so rough with him because clearly this guy has been through something, maybe he just got out of prison and got a little bit carried away with celebration??

no one bat an eye when my friend was harassed on a bus and screamed at the man to leave her the fuck alone. no one helped me when i've almost lost my consciousness on a tram and asked people to open a window. no one helped me when i was 16, loudly announcing that i don't know the man who tried to lay his hands on me on a bus stop. but when some waste of oxygen is being held down by people trying to help him, suddenly it's all different and social justice knights appear to save the day.

“Closing your eyes will not prevent women from being raped, battered, or tortured by intimate partners being inspired and impelled by pornography. Nor will it help adolescent girls forced out on streets, coerced into imitating pornography upon thousands of clients’ requests, to escape the sexual abuse. Defining harm as an offence to observers silences and denies these women their rights.”
