I don't know what makes me sadder; the bimbofication to become famous, or the fact that it worked.
❤️❤️❤️
im so tired of being unable to say "no/please stop" because if i do the other person will hurt themself
Fake, performative support is worse than being indifferent about something or not expressing an opinion
"is xyz rape, is abc rape" is just the wrong way to approach discussing rape as a feminist. what you're doing when you're concerned about absolute parameters is centering what we should consider allowable by men. why center that. it's not that "everything" is rape, it's that you need to completely shift your paradigm. you need to consider what it means for women to move in a world where their sexual violation is essentially a given and up for negotiation. what does discussing rape actually look like when completely, one hundred percent centering the experiencing and feelings of violated women and completely disregarding what would be helpful for men to think is "only so bad."
