RE: It's Violent to Say "Women Are Asking for It" Because of What They Are Wearing
I love the way you raise that very real assumption that a woman's presence is for others. Be that in a bar as a potential sexual partner, or in the playground as a potential nurse, or in the home as the unpaid domestic worker.
A woman's right to simply Be. Anywhere. Not as a function or for anyone's use.
Profound and lovely thought. :)
thank you, yes... women existing for others to consume her is something i'm really tired of. men get to be the agents in these narratives, the acting figures, while women are supportive and consumable.
this a million times over. the whole Ecotrain qotw is framed in such a way that, yet again, women are consumable. frankly i'm down for existing whole and complete unto myself. <3
