21 on the hypersexualization and adultification of inner-city, urban, metropolitan black adolescent development and the disciplinary process that compel them toward underground economies of violence and exploitation:
i don’t think women apprehensive to tampons are associating the penetration with a sexual act or shameful act, i think they’re just hard to figure out and uncomfortable when you fail to. inserting and removing a menstrual cup sounds like wayyy more work and temporary stress, than just slapping a pad on.
i really dislike when someone tries to encapsulate “girlhood” in art but just capture the same shots of traditionally feminine women standing in a bathroom or bedroom exchanging mascara or something painfully bland
@darylvazmp Often times when I’m traveling to Constant Spring as a school student I get overcharged by men who want to let me off in the middle of running traffic instead of at a bus stop and then want to fight me because my fare is now apparently 200 instead of 100
“Studies reveal that one in seven young women are choked during sex. Children aged 10 have mentioned strangulation in class. Girls report experiencing choking by age 14. Anal sex, in particular, troubles McKendrick. Not for any moral reason, but because of the dangers it poses to women. She references medical research by colorectal surgeons which found that, due to girls “having less robust anatomy, they’re at serious risk of severe pain and serious lifelong consequences. They’re at risk of anal fissures and lifelong incontinence even with safe sex practices”."
Parading your underage daughter around the neighborhood for everyone to weigh in on the fact that she now has her period, in places where many men believe it's not pedophilia to sexually assault a girl once she's had her period, is horrific parenting, actually.
I hate the fucking 'women are scary' 'im scared of women' bullshit. women won't murder you at the drop of a hat. a woman wont rape you when you're both alone at home. you just know male opinions are worth nothing, and know that if a woman hates you is bc there's smth wrong with u
society will feed into you that a girl's "virginity" is the most important thing she can have, all while going through great lengths to shame women they deem promiscuous & then act surprised when women internalise it & begin to view penetrative sex as inherently dehumanizing.
