As someone who in the past lived in an oppressed middle eastern patriarchal culture that saw female freedom as a threat, wearing the Vesper feels both empowering and like a symbolic gesture in shamelessly celebrating women's pleasures

This isn't advertisement. I'm also not paid for posting this.

It's disheartening to see how often ads are placed by companies with the efforts to capitalize on people, which have led to the general public's distrust to the point where when a woman like me who is just trying to rebuild her courage to find her voice creates a post, there are shadows of doubt casted over the authenticity of such statements. My only hope is to bring awareness and perhaps shed some light on this subject, enough so to instigate the slightest paradigm shift... Or even just simply education.

I'd actually be surprised if any company like that would ever took any controversial stance on calling out how the middle east is so repressive.
