There's a thing that creeps into this conversation ... that if you complain about the depiction of women [in comics], it becomes, 'Well, but ladies - the dudes are idealized too.'

The Internet may fairly be regarded as a never-ending worldwide conversation. The government may not, through the , interrupt that conversation...

Availability of the best also is limited in our culture. And it's also extremely expensive. It's ridiculous. A kilogram of rose oil costs me very much.

That is why people sell synthetic rose and end up poisoning themselves. It shouldn't be that way.
