A good reframe of the word! Your title isn’t my favorite but that’s a nitpick on my end.

I feel like we’re kindred spirits in the idea of how we reframe what is normally accepted

Bravo!!!! I can feel the difference in my body between "resist" and "defy." I think defy comes with more forward energy (counterbalancing that excellent image of the damsel in distress) and I am definitely on board with that.
