If you refuse to speak on black issues because it’s going to mess up your ig feed or ruin your blog aesthetic then fuck you.

Once on facebook I argued with 2 different men on 2 different subjects in 2 different groups. It had nothing to do with feminism. A few hours later, both men sent me private messages saying almost the exact same thing : one said “suck my dick” the other said “you should only open your mouth if it’s to suck dicks”. Another time I was discussing the pressure women face to shave their armpit hair and this guy replied “nobody gives a fuck about your pubes lmao”.

When women debate men, men often end up making lured comments, sexual jokes or just simply throwing sexual insults. I’ve seen it countless times. It usually happens when the woman stands her ground/doesn’t change her mind/has a strong opinion about something/is a good debater. Their goal is to shut the woman up, put her in her place as the sexual object she is, humiliate her, make her uncomfortable, scare her, reduce her to her sex, remind her that she is worthless ultimately and might as well shut up. The goal is also to disqualify her in the eyes of anybody else who might be listening to her.

But it’s also very telling how men consider sex as a weapon to humiliate and control women.

you put this so eloquently, you verbalized something I’ve known but was never able to fully grasp. thank you.

2-dodo-2-quit

this is why sex =/= empowerment in the eyes of men who already only see you as sexual objects to fulfill their desires and fantasies

There’s also been a great response to this in Forbes.

I saw this when it was first reported and was going to ignore it because it is so patently stupid and wrong, but what the hell, since someone @’d me I’ll throw my two cents in: THIS IS COMPLETELY STUPID AND WRONG.

Again this is really indicative of a culture in which women are held to higher standards than men that complete bullshit because no matter what standard you hold a woman to there are women that actually fit that criteria and are getting ignored anyway.

If you only want to consider a woman who has done big budget scifi/action before: Patty Jenkins, Lexi Alexander (WHO HAS SPECIFICALLY EXPRESSED INTEREST IN THE STAR WARS FRANCHISE), Mimi Leder, Anna Foerster, Ava DuVernay (not even going to include the Wachowski sisters or Kathryn Bigelow because they are so obviously overqualified it’s ridiculous).

If you only want to consider women who have done mid-tier (between 20-60 million budget) movies: Julie Taymor, Karyn Kusama, Catherine Hardwicke

If you only want to consider women who have done low-budget scifi/action or TV so you can cultivate their talent: Michelle MacClaren, Jennifer Phang, Ana Lily Amirpour, Jennifer Kent, Mary Harron

This holiday season, instead of blindly throwing your dollars at Star Wars see one of the many great indies out there directed by women. Because you need to support the films they are making right now instead of hoping that one day a producer might wake up and toss one of them a bone.
