Probably worst way ever to start a sentence: "As a ....., I think that...."
As a mother/As a Christian/As a woman/As a musician/As whatever the fuck you are, think of something better to say or don't say it at all. Your point SHOULD stand by itself without you having to underline what kind of point of view you're speaking from, as in most cases it will be fairly obvious anyway. THANK YOU.
