"The attempt to frame prostitution as 'sexual self-determination' simply doesn't hold up, because our decisions were not sexual, they were economic. The sexual element was endured, not enjoyed, and if we had been in any position to exercise true self-determination, our pimp would have had an empty brothel and our clients a whole pile of blank rolls of film."

Rachel Moran

“Painting vulvae, focusing on details of women’s bodies, even the parts that are ‘supposed’ to be hidden, does sometimes feel like a small act of resistance ― a way of saying that women don’t need to hide, that we deserve a place, not just in the art world, but in every sector.”

“It’s part of this strange dichotomy that culture has created for women: reveal and conceal. On one hand, we’re always supposed to reveal enough of ourselves to be sexually attractive, but simultaneously we’re expected to conceal our bodies, our opinions, and, ultimately, I believe, our power.”

 -Jacqueline Secor

Incredible work and incredible words. This is the kind of art that fills my soul with joy at its unabashed, unashamed beauty. Feeling proud to be woman.

Who is the scene meant to make uncomfortable? Victims of rape? Who is it meant to titillate? The people most likely to rape. Is the threat of rape every day not uncomfortable enough for women? Do you really think men feel uncomfortable with close ups of a woman's pained face as she's raped? The men who are watching porn? Do you honestly think men watching in the theatre with you felt uncomfortable? Or did they feel aroused? Powerful? Do you think they went home, googled rape scene movie name and fapped one out to the torture of women like you? Do you think they felt bad for enjoying it? Do you think they felt genuine disgust and discomfort like women did?
