Blaming sexism on depictions of women in art or media is victim-blaming. It is the exact same logic utilized when a man defends his sexual assault on the woman by blaming her dress. It takes the responsibility for the bad behavior off of the shoulders of the person exhibiting those behaviors and places it onto the shoulders of a concept, where there can be no harm done. The man gets off the hook for his behaviors, and the concept takes all of the blame.

Saying that teens are more likely to become sexist after seeing women posed or presented in a particular format is also victim-blaming. Whether you deem the poses or clothing “realistic” or “reasonable” is irrelevant. The pictures depicted are those of the female body. Commentary on the depiction of those women’s bodies in this format has the net same result as making those comments about women’s bodies in the first place.

Telling girls that we need to depict them completely clothed in “reasonable armor” looking as masculine as they possibly can in order to prevent themselves from being sexually assaulted, hit on, or mistreated sends the exact same message as telling teen girls that they need to cover up because they’re riling all the men to do things they don’t want to do.

she's right that companies need to hire way more women but i don't think she knows what victim blaming is lol

tumblr doesn't understand objectification

film at 11

lol @ a concept created by men being a victim

but telling girls if they wanna dress comfortably and sensibly theyre super masculine + actually anti-feminist and taking it off the table completely as an option sends a gr8 message obviously

~fandom feminism~

the op is a front end developer, not a fandom person lol

y i k e s

lol p much

fully clothed women are ~too masculine hdu devalue femininity by implying that metal pasties aren't effective armor

exactly its disgusting

its that old typical thing of ~o if ur a woman who wants to actually do a thing that means u just wanna be a man, if u actually do the thing we'd better do sth that reminds everyone of ~ur tru place and function in society

Saying that teens are more likely to become sexist after seeing women posed or presented in a particular format is also victim-blaming.

havent multiple studies found that porn literally does cause men to become more sexist

saying that seeing women presented in sexist ways reinforces deeply ingrained societal sexism (and by no accident) is equivalent to victim blaming uwu

how is "reasonable armor" being connected to sexual assault, wth

this gave me diarrhea
