Ghost Writer 7

They call it "The Adjustment." ✔ A sacred duty. ✔ A divine blessing. ✔ A necessary correction. You do not resist. ✔ Because resistance is not an option. ✔ Because everyone around you believes you want this. ✔ Because to protest would be to admit sin. At first, it’s just the clothes. ✔ A soft blouse. A modest skirt. Nothing too dramatic. ✔ A reminder that dignity is found in grace, not defiance. Then it’s your posture. ✔ Sit with your legs closed. ✔ Keep your voice light, soft, pleasant. ✔ Never interrupt a man. Then it’s your name. ✔ You no longer have one. ✔ You are simply "Daughter." ✔ Or perhaps… "Wife-to-be." You are being reshaped. ✔ For your own good. ✔ For the good of society. ✔ For the good of your future husband. And everyone smiles as they do it. Because this is not a punishment. This is a blessing.
