If you’re celebrating today, please give the warmest hug and sincerest thanks to whatever woman is putting in a fuck ton of invisible labor to make the season bright. In fact, bow down or make a toast to her for making every holiday and special event happen. If you’re reading this and YOU have planned and organized and shopped and wrapped and cooked and hosted family and friends, THANK YOU FOR LOVING YOUR PEOPLE THAT MUCH YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT.

Do you also agree that the threat of nonpayment for a job done and the consequential threat of poverty can be used as a means to control or force someone to do something they don’t want to do in the workplace?

Do you then agree that consent is something that cannot be controlled by payment, because the withdrawal of consent for some acts could result in withdrawal of payment and consequential poverty, because payment could be refused for all acts previously done if new ones are not done?

Do you now agree that consent cannot be bought?

Do you now see how payment for sex acts can be used as a means of coercion for the poor?

Pornography has a negative effect on men's attitudes toward women, as many studies have shown.

Here are some examples:

Men’s Objectifying Media Consumption, Objectification of Women, and Attitudes Supportive of Violence Against Women: This study found that men who are frequently exposed to pornography are more likely to view women as sex objects and to endorse violence against women.

The Association Between Exposure to Violent Pornography and Teen Dating Violence in Grade 10 High School Students: This study found that exposure to violent pornography was a significant predictor of teen dating violence.

Less Than Human? Media Use, Objectification of Women, and Men’s Acceptance of Sexual Aggression: In this study consumption of pornography was associated with greater acceptance of objectification of women, which in turn was associated with greater rape myth acceptance and more frequent acts of sexual deception.

Pornography Use, Two Forms of Dehumanization, and Sexual Aggression: Attitudes vs. Behaviors: In this study, researchers found that pornography consumption is associated with both animalistic and mechanistic dehumanization, which predict sexually aggressive attitudes and behaviors.

Male Peer Support and Sexual Assault: The Relation Between High-Profile, High School Sports Participation and Sexually Predatory Behavior: This study indicates that frequency of pornography consumption is a significant predictor of committing acts of sexual violence.

Pornography, Individual Differences in Risk and Men’s Acceptance of Violence Against Women in a Representative Sample: This study found an overall positive association between pornography consumption acceptance of violence against women.

Pornography and Attitudes Supporting Violence Against Women: Revisiting the Relationship in Nonexperimental Studies: This meta-analysis study showed an overall significant positive association between pornography use and attitudes supporting violence against women in nonexperimental studies.

Pornography and Sexist Attitudes Among Heterosexuals: This study found a link between exposure to pornography and increased sexist attitudes against women.

Masculine Norms, Peer Group, Pornography, Facebook, and Men’s Sexual Objectification of Women: This study found that pornography use emerged as a unique predictor of greater objectification of women and making unwanted sexual advances toward women.

It's not about morality. It's about controlling women. As a non man your body doesn't belong to you. It belongs to the government.

Women should have the right to choose for themselves. Just like men. That's what equality is.

bras are built to show off cleavage and panties are built to highlight womens hips, butt, and pelvic region, all for the male gaze. bras are notoriously uncomfortable and panties constantly get stuck between the crack and pinch uncomfortably at the labia. jeans marketed towards women almost never have functioning, practical pockets (i theorize this is to drive up purse sales). heels and womens shoes in general are not built for the natural structure of feet, strangling the toes together and making the basic act of walking and standing painful. womens shirts are built to highlight breasts and the waist. this gets even more nefarious when you realize girls clothes work in a similar way, because *shocker* men made them that way.

basically any kind of leg wear highlights the ass. womens clothes are not for her comfort, but for the men to sexualize. mens clothes, of course, are not built for the female gaze, but instead for practicality and comfort, a privilege that if you demand as a woman you will be seen as an insane rambler who needs to take her meds and/or kill herself (whichever fits best with her schedule).

very interesting how between the two, it was more often princes “getting whatever they wanted” while princesses had to swallow the bitter truth that they were family property and nothing more—the complete opposite of being spoiled. they were literally trained to believe and accept that nothing was ever about what they wanted. that they were not people enough to have desires of their own. aspirations of their own.
