im going on a family camping trip this weekend and have been absolutely TORN on whether or not to shave my legs 😭 not bc i care about what my family thinks or that theyll say anything (i haven’t been shaving for years) but because ive gained weight in the past year and am feeling quite uncomfortable about being in a bathing suit, and bc shaving makes your legs look smooth and less lumpy i feel like it will make me feel better about exposing so much leg all weekend. i think i have decided im going to shave my legs, BUT not my armpits to feel less comprised on my morals. womanhood 😔

cant take any of this seriously when a BDSM collar is being grouped in as the same type of non-consensual exposure to other people's sex life as women wearing normal clothing. wearing fetish gear in public is completely different than either of the other two examples listed in that sentence. christ.

What I believe is happening in the case of coming across a public expression of sexuality, or a trans woman in a dress, or someone wearing a BDSM collar, or a woman in a short skirt is that these things will strike some people as inherently "sexual" in ways that other things (such as topless men and wedding rings) do not. And things that strike us as "sexual" may evoke sexual stigma in our minds. And this experience of sexual stigma - which can act indirectly and from a distance, as we've all seen with fears of "contagiousness" - can make us feel as if we are being "nonconsensually" implicated in a "sexual" activity, even though no boundaries have actually been breached, and the supposed act may not even be sexual for the other party. Such overreaches are worrisome, not only because they further marginalize those who are already unfairly "marked by sex" in our culture, but also because they can dilute or weaken legitimate claims of nonconsent in cases where actual sexual violence has been perpetrated.

the older i get the more annoyed i get with tumblr's man-obsession. i don't care about yaoi because i dont care about men and i prefer not to think about them in my free time. seeing your posts about how anime boys should kiss is annoying to me now. WOMEN SHOULD BE RUNNING FOR POLITICAL OFFICE. alright thats all i have to say.

The most inconvenient truth is that men do misogyny because they get something from it. They get labor from intimate partners, they get social capital in their public circles, they get the benefit of the doubt, they get default respect and promotions and people listening to them and people afraid of them.

"The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats."
