o captain, my captain

they’re doing slutty nun discourse on twitter

people really love to believe that modesty, especially religious modesty, exists in a vacuum . when the truth of it is that modesty is extremely sexual lol

like obviously don’t sexualize real nuns . whatever . i can agree with that. but people are going beyond that trying to protect. like . the concept of a nun and fictional nuns from sexualization like oh ok i see what this is now

in a lot of christian spaces you’ll see people advocating for modesty for children, especially children as low as 2, to teach them early. ESPECIALLY girls, who are told they need to pull their shirts down, close their legs, wear a dress, etc . and a lot of christians who participate in this will tell you that modesty isn’t only a physical thing- it’s the way they act, think, show respect. but by treating their bodies as inherently sexual and “immodest” sinful things that need to be covered up. it becomes sexual . it doesn’t matter how much clothing you put on your child, you are sexualizing them.

i think people have this idea that sexualization is like . only when a woman with big boobs wears a bikini . when sexualization actually has more to do with the incredibly prevalent misogyny in our culture and the way that it is enforced on womens bodies and womens choices . like sexualization doesn’t stop and end at what someone wears . and that definitely extends to the concept of “modesty” and how that’s enforced as well.

like making little girls wear long dresses not sit with their legs open and be god fearing modest christians does nothing to stop sexualization if you are intensely focused on their breasts and their genitals beneath them and are focusing on viewing their bodies as sexual objects. it’s still sexualization and it’s still incredibly harmful. you’re just making them show less skin .

and this is not to shame women who dress modestly or who cover up more . but we need to realize that modesty as a concept and as a societal force . that is enforced on us. is 100% just a less “overt” form of sexualization of womens bodies . it also invites a strong victim blaming narrative and you can definitely connect this whole idea to the concept of the “male gaze” but that’s something else because this post is getting long

like i don’t know it’s just horrible how no matter how a woman dresses she will be sexualized without her consent . if she shows skin she’ll be sexualized and degraded. if she dresses modestly she’ll be sexualized and praised, until she dresses modestly to a certain extent and then she’ll be degraded again. but she will still always be sexualized and treated as a sexual object. ugh

My friend sometimes brings her six-year-old to our DnD sessions and my husband (the DM) lets her roll for all enemy attacks and sometimes he will show her a few figures and let her secretly pick what creature we meet next. Who needs encounter tables when you have a first-grader around

there has been more moments than i can count in the past seven months where i felt destroyed by all the death and carnage i've seen due to the colonialism and imperialism of the world. but there was something in particular about hind's death that made me think the world would stop turning bc how could anything continue given how gruesome and inhumane her death was? and yet, the world did not stop. and i thought we were once again left to remember her story only in our minds as she became another number, as her murderers went on killing unpunished, and as her mother grieved with rage when all she wanted was to keep her daughter warm and as safe as she could manage in this man-made hell on earth.

however, hind, a girl who only got to experience her kindergarten graduation, is now being immortalized in universities across the nation. her story did resonate to the masses and we will not let her be forgotten nor forgive those complicit in her death. real justice would be having hind alive, but these students are showing that they will stop the world and burn the status quo it upholds to the ground if it means her people can truly be liberated.

they want us to criticize and attack college students as "uneducated" and being radicalized by "outside agitators" and yet mainstream media pundits are saying shit like this while being owned by billionaires. like i said, hind was never a world-stopping reporting story for these western journalists; they only had to do the research now and even then they got it wrong bc they called her a woman. girls are barely allowed to be girls in general but palestinian girls are being killed and labeled as women in death as another form of dehumanization. she will never get to experience womanhood they claim she had bc media propaganda like this fueled her killers.
