Quote by Tori Amos
I don't mind a dirty girl. But what I find tragic is when we, as women, become not the subject of our own story but someone else's object.
Summary
This quote highlights the distinction between being comfortable with a person's physical appearance and being troubled by their lack of agency and autonomy. The speaker suggests that a person's dirtiness or uncleanliness is not the issue, but rather the problem arises when women are reduced to being objects in someone else's narrative. It implies that when women are objectified or defined solely by others' desires or perceptions, they are denied the opportunity to be the authors of their own lives and denied the opportunity for self-determination.
