I do really (and I am being serious) think it has been tried - by individual women (myself included) that regularly comment here. By pointing out that men as well as women benefit from equal pay, equal rights, family leave, women’s right to control their own reproductive health, women feeling and being safe...

“The feminist staples of abortion, reproductive rights and equal pay continue to motivate female voters. But men are voting differently than women because of their dissatisfaction with job and wage competition from illegal immigrants”
This person said nothing about not liking a certain ethnicity. (White isn’t an ethnicity, by the way.) He/she did, however, make a sarcastic comment about “downtrodden white men,” the joke being that the description encompasses the people who run everything, make the rules, and have set things up to benefit those like…
Why now that you mention it, I could give a flying fuck about persecuted American Christians.

You told OP that she was being illogical for calling out a man on his bullshit. There is nothing “reactionary” about a woman pointing out that a man asking women to get naked in the name of women’s rights is laughable.
I mean, this isn’t really a criticism of this particular person anymore. It’s just talking about how art is dumb, which I largely agree with.
Maybe you shouldn’t tell women how they should feel about men using women’s bodies for their “art” under the guise of women’s “empowerment”?
Yeah, if there are two concepts republicans really take to, they are art and nuance. This should go over well. Personally, I’d rather see 100 women throwing used tampons at the republicans as they walk by.
Because Black, Latin, Asian dudes don’t ask for stupid shit like this.
Maybe? But, see, there’s a reason it’s NOT a woman and/or POC. Because the idea feels like the idea of someone who has no original point of view.
Am I the only one who just straight-up hates the idea of woman as reflection of the earth? That’s some sexist bullshit. Men are intelligent and powerful and build things, women create life and reflect the natural order. I was kinda hoping this would be a pro-reproductive rights statement about how Republicans are…
Exactly. Hippy dippy speak like that turns average people off from the message. I’m not a mythical lunar nurturing fertility nymph dancing upon the breast of mother nature emitting rays of loving harmony. I’m a fucking human being, just like a man, and equal to a man in importance. “By holding mirrors, we hope to…
I’m sure the safest thing for a woman to do would be to lay naked on the streets of Cleveland surrounded by Drumpf cultists. Great idea, Artsy McArtGuy!
So. Many. Gross. Trolls. In. This. Comment. Section.
Oh - I get it now - the secret to getting a bunch of women to lay naked in the street is to tell them it's empowering.
It’s not the worst idea I’ve ever heard of but, “the sacred feminine”? “...[W]omen are a reflection and embodiment of nature, the sun, the sky and the land”?
Yeah, I think this picture is from his previous work. That said, some women have “franks and beans”—and some men don’t.
Maybe it’s just me, but somehow I get the sense that Trump fans aren’t going to recognize this as art/protest and simply will go “HURR DURR! LOOKIT THEM NAKED BROADS!!!”
