We would have been happy if we could have assigned just three categories, large, medium, and small; the point is, we wanted to avoid personal judgments. It actually turned out to be quite a finely tuned scale.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We, as a people, we have a strong need to categorize everything. We put labels on everything and it's a totally understandable need because we are animals and we need to understand order and where to fit in.
I have a sort of inner sense for scale.
One of the sad commentaries on the way women are viewed in our society is that we have to fit one category. I have never felt that I had to be in one category.
People wanted to put me in one category, I think because it was easier for them.
I think scale is about, in a way, the apprehension of proportion, and all the proportions that mean things to us as human beings are related to the body.
Miscellaneous is always the largest category.
I don't want to be lumped into any categories.
I have worked really hard to defy categorization, to break down a taxonomy whenever it comes my way.
I think we have to get beyond the idea that we have to categorize people.
The idea is to be unrestrained by categories.
