I think, therefore I'm a meat piñata
ALISON: hello!
WENDY: hi meat piñata
ALISON: I feel so objectified when you call me that
WENDY: and i feel objectified when you don't
ALISON: look wendy
WENDY yes?
ALISON: I see you as so much more than the frilly bits of paper you coat yourself in
I see you as a constellation of things and ideas
you're like a tag cloud to me
and so to just call you meat piñata
feels wrong to me
WENDY: look, haven't you ever heard the saying, "tell pretty people they are smart, tell smart people they are pretty, and tell wendy she's a meat piñata" in an obscure reference to a party you went to where they actually had a meat piñata?
ALISON: I have heard that
I just don't really see how it applies here
