the worst part of fangirling is the post-content depression. 😭 the excitement is over, everyone's gone quiet, and you're just sitting there staring at your screen wondering what to do with your life now.
everyone always talk about post concert depression, but what about post concert amnesia? 🧍♀️🧍♀️ i feel like i wasnt even there until i see videos
maybe its just me idk
Her name is Gina Martin. She was at a music festival in London when a man pushed his phone between her legs and took a photo under her skirt. She reported it to the police immediately. They told her it wasn't a criminal offence. There was nothing they could do.
She went home and decided that was unacceptable. With no legal background, no political connections and no funding she launched a campaign to make upskirting a criminal offence in England and Wales. She petitioned. She lobbied MPs. She spoke publicly about what had happened to her. The government initially blocked the bill.
She kept going. The Voyeurism Act passed in January 2019. Upskirting now carries up to two years in prison. Scotland followed. Other countries are following. A woman at a festival with no lawyer, no funding and no political connections rewrote the law for an entire nation in eighteen months.
