you go too far, marlowe.

“ And, I would argue, the point that “some varieties of femininity are more rewarded than others right now, we should broaden the scope of acceptable femininities” is not one that’s being debated by anyone here. And yet! Somehow! This is different than the point that “women are engaging in a variety of femininity that is totes slutty and destroying feminism, they are the enemy now, GGRAGARRRGH […] Because even if I adopted the appearance and aesthetic of a Maxim model tomorrow, fact is, I would still be subject to misogyny. Possibly more virulent misogyny than ever before. And I’d still need this movement to be advocating for me, not shaming me for “destroying feminism” with my bald vagina. It’s the “women’s movement.” Not the “women who keep their legs together and act like proper ladies” movement. I think we need to get that one straight. ” - Sady Doyle (via sexartandpolitics)
