“
Being a sexual object is mortifying and irritating, yet it’s giving you power—an awful power that you’ve done nothing to deserve, a powerless power. I think some young women fall in love with that power, and it’s really objectifying.
When you first get boobs you notice the power, but it takes a lot longer for some people to figure out what a powerless power it is.
— Helen Mirren, from an interview in More magazine
