What a sleaze bag. These stolen private images are sex crimes not art.

1. Orientalism - Not limited to Asia. See for eg: Voices from the Margins: Gendered images of 'Otherness" in colonial Morocco. It's academic, peer reviewed, and describes the "Orientalist" travel narrative used to depict Morocco.

egypt and morocco are not exempt from orientalist depictions.

"One of the most striking images was her intensely staring down a cobra that was a mere feet from her face."

I don't like comparing physical characteristics between women (read: who is prettier, hotter, thinner, etc). I particularly don't like comparing sisters.

Yeah, placing NSFW directly above the pic does not a warning make.

Anna, you have my endless respect and admiration for speaking out. I hope that Richardson's history of sexual predation and assault will finally be shut down (along with all the people who abet and apologize for him).

If that's what you need to feel good about yourself; awareness shouldn't be a sorrowful thing though. (And their point wasn't a particularly challenging one)

Well now you know. And now you can choose to engage in the discussion. Instead of shutting it down with your pity party. Or your endless equivocations.

"natural". haha.

um. when did i tell you that it isn't personal? who are you take me anywhere? you going to coerce someone into adopting your value system? and then you finish up with the humans will be humans line. nice discussion points.

My point was that you basically used an iteration out of "derailment bingo." It was unnecessary, and this is just an fyi for future discussions about the nuanced concept that is feminism. Cuz the topic is worth discussing.

they elaborated further on in the thread.

They did go on to provide a reason. They cited the allyship essay by Jay Dodd who said "If a part of your claimed identity relies on a struggle you have no or little access to — I am given pause."

I get from your comments that you're a misogynist troll. But for the sake of the general audience:

Life can have some pretty depressing social forces at work. These are worth critically examining. Tone policing the individual for raising such a concept is condescending at best, and derailing at worse.

Incorrect.

ellenjane, the predictable troll, is predictable. But I enjoyed your response! I will "kindly fuck off" also, next time I run into them.

"With no snark intended, I feel sorry for you."

Hungry rape apologist troll is hungreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
