A woman isn’t a doll by Julia Tsvetkova

real women have body hair – and it’s normal real women have periods – and it’s normal real women have body fat – and it’s normal real women have imperfect skin – and it’s normal real women have wrinkles and grey hair – and it’s normal real women have muscles – and it’s normal

On 20 November 2019 Russian activist, artist and feminist  Julia Tsvetkova was arrested and put on house arrest two days later, charged with “production and dissemination of pornographic materials”. She was also accused of spreading “homosexual propaganda” to minors, and was later fined.

On 9 June, prosecutors confirmed that Tsvetkova was still due to stand trial, provoking real life protests and online outrage. Tsvetkova would be forced to answer for several cartoonish drawings of naked women  with captions that read “Real women have body fat – and it’s normal” or “Real women have wrinkles and grey hair – and it’s normal”.

If convicted, Julia faces prison terms up to 6 years. 

“We’d consume each other before we got old.”

“It sounds kind of nice.”
