Your brother watches porn. Your teacher, your professor, your cousin, your friend. Every man in your life, whether you have a positive or negative relationship with, is actively choosing to watch women get hurt, abused, degraded, endanger their life for his sexual pleasure. Every man you know grew up on the notion that you are lesser than him. Does the seller in the grocery store search for people like you on his favorite human trafficking site? Did your guidance counselor search for teen girls before or after you went into his office? Or late at night, at his home computer, under a protected network, because those children are different than you, come from a worse background, are abused by others, so it's ok? You are a child. She, who is the same age as you, is a #sexworker. Or maybe she just turned 18 but has pigtails and pretends to color in a book before she gets abused. When you performed better in class than a male student, in work than your male coworker, did he go watch people like you get degraded in the most base, awful ways? Did he do it to punish you? To get revenge? When you broke up with your ex, did he think, even for a moment, to post intimate pictures of you so strangers online could get off on humiliating you? Did he decide against it, because he is #OneOfTheGoodOnes? Does he #StandWithHer? Did he instead go watch other woke feminist porn? Does he understand that if your photos being used for jacking off by others is humiliating and a punishment, so are the photos of that feminist, inspiring, empowered woman he pays every month to act out his fantasies?
