“But women sexualise themselves”… no, men sexualise our existence.
There’s a fetish for the schoolgirl, the teacher, the secretary, the nurse, the nun, the “innocent” girl, the “experienced” woman, the boss, the assistant, the submissive, the dominant, the “barely legal,” the mother, the babysitter, the neighbour, the coworker every version of us gets turned into something sexual.
Covered? There’s a fetish. Modest? There’s a fetish. Uncovered? There’s a fetish. Even discomfort, even vulnerability is sexualised.
The same woman will be sexualised and then shamed for it in the next breath. That contradiction isn’t ours to carry.
Saying women sexualise themselves is just a way to dodge accountability because no matter what we do, you were already going to sexualise us anyway.
I want to stress that Musk is genuinely using his kid as a human shield.
He wears a Kevlar vest every time he is out in public and makes sure to always carry his kid at his only exposed area (head) when exiting planes, on the tarmac, leaving buildings, anytime he is exposed.
@rava Expensive new office furniture and hardly any books, that sort of thing. Source: I’m middle class but got scholarships to prep school and an Ivy, spent lots of time around different flavors of monied people.
@rava Eh, people from lower SE backgrounds can and do end up as high earners and many do not then acquire the trappings of generational wealth. I see it in some families I nanny for. They’ll have shitty plastic cutting boards, logo-heavy designer clothes, expensive cars in the driveway
Women know that men don’t scheme to “dress like girls” to assault them.
They do it every day in broad daylight. And the ones in power protect each other to keep it quiet.
Just ask the House Ethics Committee. Or the President-elect of the United States.
Leave women alone.
A dementia drug based on a chemical discovered in an exotic type of snail was just invented. Studying the reproductive habits of insects has allowed us to increase crop yields.
You think you’re making a good point but you don’t even have the capacity to realize how dumb you are.
i’ve gotta be really honest… i don’t think there’s been a day in my life where i thought that immigration was a genuine issue in this country and nothing more than racist fear mongering from the right, and yes that includes illegal immigration.
“housewife” this “1950s” that….. my bitch in christ they were giving those ladies drugs and lobotomies because they were so depressed and unhappy with their lives i am going to beat the shit out of you
@isaiah_bb Vote for the conditions you’d prefer to organize under. Personally, I’ve no doubt that violence and repression would be extreme under a 2nd Trump admin. They don’t give a fUCK about the 1st amendment. Voting can be moral catharsis but it’s not required; it’s a civic duty.
It’s illuminating that Israel can send drones up close like this to stare Hamas members in the face and yet they choose to drop 2000 pound bombs on crowded civilian areas.
I must agree with this. I really hate the rise of Trunk or Treat. Sterile, soulless practice that exists because people fear their neighbors. We have to get back to being comfortable with knocking on our neighbors’ doors. This is how we build and preserve community!
@atlmeagsnow Everyone I know who truly wanted one of these bc they’d actually use it got it before they were married (most are still not married). I’m single af and got the 7qt pro model as a Christmas gift from my mom
