I don't say it is the strippers "fault" - I simply think that we live in a society where women are expected to entertain men with their body - and womens attractivity is reduced to this: their body. It's obvious women would choose such a profession when we are hugely reinforced to behave according to these gender…

I'm not "ragging on sexworkers". If you think criticizing the way womens sexuality is capitalized on in a patriarchal society is the same as doing that - I disagree. And I think that there should be space to discuss these topics - prostitution, stripping, pornography - because I am certain that not all that it's done…

I know it's not a popular opinion here. But if you think that street harassment will stop in a world where women are thought to entertain mostly men with their bodies, where female attractivity is reduced to the body and is served to mostly men on a silver plate, that's simply delusional

Hm. If that is true, would they behave like this in front of their mothers? I would doubt it in most cases, since they'd know that it's not ok/not respectful towards women - don't you think so?

I think that's complicated. I guess many women do like some forms of catcalling, just because we learn that our looks are the most important thing about us (basically from birth on). Like, even if I don't care about my looks, I know nevertheless that society in total does and hence my value in society is by default…

I don't understand how men don't get how bad that is. Tbh I mostly think it's an excuse that they supposedly don't know that it's not just "games" and "flirting". It is a powergame and meant to reduce women in public to a group which can be easily be judged by the other, socially dominant group - men. I think most of…

it's awesome can't be huge enough

Do we have to be reminded of that cruel cruel day now already...

piiirogy!! remembers me of my travel to poland where my best friends grandma fed me with pirogy until I couldn't move..

haha yes :D

who is that? beautiful.

it's the worst. makes me feel like some weird kind of fruit or something, not fully human. and yup I'm also whittish (?? maybe ?? tbh I don't know what category I fall into..?) but my parents are from quite far away. I have had people telling me "but you look sooo western!" as some form of…

she did it amazingly well. a no-shit attitude + very smooth. I think now I know how to react to stupid racist people who think it's funny to make jokes about my name because it's "soooooo exooootic".

Around 90 to 95% of animal research can not be reproduced for humans...

[news from the german part of the world - trigger warning - violence/ex partner]

I must say in school I did not experience slut shaming nor things like "women are not good in school". Still I was aware of sexism when looking at movies or ads, or the different ways we were supposed to dress. I was quite like you - I grew up in a very equalitarian family and hence developed rather interest in…

Oh, ignorant me, I only knew Marie Leveau as the name of my favorite restaurant/bar in Stockholm, Sweden.

tbh, it's usually my partners catching me doing that, so :)
