It de-normalizes Nazis and it’s resistance against the idea that vile racism is just a “difference of opinion” that we all have to politely tolerate and respect. That’s definitely helping the cause more than white liberals pearl-cluching about people not showing politeness to Nazis in the Trump era.

They decided that her actions didn’t warrant removing her. The only people who would be bothered by their decision to not punish her are the pearl-clutchers who go around crying #NotAllTrumpSupporters.

Probably a Trump bitch herself.

Right, but you can view/interact with someone in a highly sexual way without viewing them (or the group of people they’re a part of) as objects that exist to meet your needs instead of as people. As for stripping and immodesty in general, I don’t think the argument is that those things are automatic feminism, but that…

I’m thinking about getting the Nintendo switch partially because I want Xenoverse 2, where my first character will be the kind of useful, saiyan-blooded female character who SHOULD have been paired with Trunks in Super- not some recycled powerless human basic bitch older than Bulma and Vegeta. Hell, Kale or Caulifla…

White students with dyed hair or non-braided extensions would be able to slip under the radar more easily for these people than black and other POC students with dyed hair and extensions, so it’s not surprising that POC students were policed over this more than white students. It’s just a dumb rule that was never…

Agreed. And these girls are brave for not backing down and caving to the racist pressure.

I think these kind of dress codes should be banned. They force parents and kids to go out and buy specific types of clothing and shoes just so kids can get an education, they lead to tardiness and absenteeism over family laundry not being done at the right time (an issue that disproportionally effects lower income…

Yep. They probably wouldn’t have said a word about or even noticed if a straight-haired white girl was wearing extensions. Someone upthread said they also had rules against hair-dye and that black and other PoC- students were getting in trouble for it more than white students. Rules like this are just bound to be…

It’s also partially the fault of feminists (and others) who imply that women who call themselves feminists while doing certain things with their bodies and physical appearance are being phony or hypocritical.

I don’t know....she’s a woman who isn’t dressed modestly, which according to some of the sex-negative victim-blaming feminists around these parts, makes her either: A) ‘objectifying, degrading, and dehumanizing’ herself (because nothing’s more progressive than the idea that women need modesty and androgyny in order to…

“I just think with everything going on in the world to go from rebranding as political activist only to ditch it and go low.. is.. a bummer.” Oh shut up, Ruby Rose, and stop trying to use Michelle Obama’s already much-exploited “when they go low, we go high” comment to defend Taylor Swift. “With everything going on in…

Choosing to do something for money is still a choice- whether it’s choosing to strip, choosing to model, choosing to dance, or choosing to play a sport.

To say immodesty degrades (which means lowers in value) and dehumanizes a woman is to say a woman’s value lies in her sexual modesty, and to blame abuse on consensual immodesty is blaming abuse on women being slutty. All of that is peak violent patriarchy. By the way, one person doesn’t get to decide what is or isn’t…

Because viewing someone in a sexual way isn’t automatically objectifying them. You can desire a person, fantasize about them, and enjoy looking at them in that way while still treating them with basic respect as a human being.

Yes. And you can also enjoy looking at a beautiful woman in a sexual way and appreciate her talents without objectifying her, as long as respect for consent are in play and respect for her as an equal human being are there too. Viewing someone in a sexual way isn’t automatically dehumanizing them.

Don’t take her seriously. That same ‘radical feminist’ was arguing a few months ago that trans women a trans women of color who face abuse shouldn’t be given as much sympathy or attention as us because they chose to be women. And as a bisexual feminist I’ll just put my 2 cents in: Don’t let these victim-blaming,…

Both are non- violent consensual expressions of sexual desire between adults. You don’t have to approve of either, but you also don’t get to label women who participate in either as degraded objects and call that feminist cultural critique. If you believe that a woman’s modesty and classiness are the keys to her…

Just because it’s sexual doesn’t mean it’s objectification. You can fantasize about someone and enjoy viewing them in a sexual way and still have basic respect for them as a human being. Stop the bullshit, stop the respectability politics, and stop perpetuating victim blaming and slut shaming by promoting the idea…

I do see a power imbalance between the two. What’s your point? That women who aren’t strippers need to be ‘good little virgins’ and make sure that they’re not promoting the idea that strippers aren’t anything but sad little victims for women to distance themselves from? Should women stop having casual sex and watching…
