they don’t do these things because they believe women will find their actions attractive. they do them to maintain social control over us and to punish us for saying no. these men want to show our sex exactly how much we still have to fear when we don’t let them get everything they want

“They reclassify healthy adult female flesh as “cellulite,” an invented “condition” that was imported into the United States by Vogue only in 1973; they refer to this texture as “disfiguring,” “unsightly,” “polluted with toxins.” Before 1973, it was normal female flesh.”

The 4-year-old’s case is a rare public look at one corner of the American legal system that explicitly uses race and gender to determine how much victims or their families should receive in compensation when they are seriously injured or killed.
As a result, white and male victims often receive larger awards than people of color and women in similar cases, according to more than two dozen lawyers and forensic economists, the experts who make the calculations. These differences largely derive from projections of how much more money individuals would have earned over their lifetimes had they not been injured – projections that take into account average earnings and employment levels by race and gender.
In one case, when a 6-year-old girl and a male fetus were killed in the same car crash, the settlement for the fetus was calculated to be up to 84 percent higher than the girl’s, according to court records.
For real, it is ACTUAL BULLSHIT to say that sex and gender are the same thing. It is misogyny. It is sexist. It is bullshit.
That male fetus was not “appraised” as having a life worth 84% more than that living, breathing, girl with experiences and memories and laughter because the fetus “identified” as a boychild. He was appraised as having more worth because he was male. Before he was fucking BORN.
Feminism is about the fact that women are not considered to be whole human beings. It is about doing the work of having our humanity represented. The reason–the ENTIRE reason–we are not considered human is because of our bodies. Our sex. We cannot fight for our freedom without recognizing the basis for our oppression.
Gender is not sex. Sex is not a performance.
Gender is a bunch of bullshit rules invented to explain why the female sex should be treated as inferior to the male sex.
This is real. It happens. Sex affects how we see ourselves and our lives. It literally affects our WORTH (monetarily speaking). Do not let gender make you unable to effect any change for women and girls.
Think and rise.
But the judicial system favors women and girls!
I’m still in fucking shock that a non-sentient fetus is considered more than a woman on such a large scale that this headline had to exist.
