I’m way to excited about this. I tried not to be. I tried to hold it down and remember that IASIP is not a shippy tv show in fact no real love/affection seems to exist in it so burn gorman is probably just gonna end up being on the outside of having the gang slag him off and go on their way BUT I CANT. I WANT IT BAD. I WANT IT NOW. I WANT IT BEFORE I HAVE TO GO TO WORK. NEED. LOTS OF NEED.

THANK YOU! When women first started taking back human rights, all women were behind each other in a unified front. The second wave of feminism broke down to a few main issues but still had a lot of momentum. Now that we’re in the third wave, women are breaking down “women’s issues” into smaller chunks so there is less support behind each. We should step back, women everywhere, and look at some of the bigger issues which are causing a lot of the smaller ones. Instead of one group fighting about sexualization of women in the media and others fighting about how people react when a woman is raped (what was she wearing, ect), we need to, as a unified force, be raging about a world where women’s sexuality is commodified as a resource which seems to revolve mainly about vulnerability and weakness. Men are sexy when strong, we value their abilities. Women are seen as sexy when they are weak, when they are vulnerable. No woman who puts on high heels should kid herself for a moment that they aren’t meant to hobble her a little. They display her as something just a little vulnerable. Does this mean a woman in heels can’t kick some ass? No, but society as a whole sees those high heels and on some level accepts that she will be less capable of self defense than a woman in sneakers based solely on how well she can run from an attacker. If women stood up as a whole and said “women’s sexuality should not revolve around how vulnerable she is” then the outfits women wear in comic books might change and when a woman gets attacked, what she’s wearing would be less of an issue. The woman in this post also brings up a powerful point. How many white women complaining about whether make-up and shaving are sexist stop and consider that Hispanic and Black women face a higher rate of rape and sexual assault? The fight of women cannot stop at color and racial boundaries. As women, we need to be just as angry over the treatment of women of color as we are about comic books. Does it piss me off how women in those books are portrayed? Hell yes. But what makes me madder is knowing that the average black woman faces a higher chance of being raped and also a higher chance that no one will care if she is. So long as we let any group of women be victimized, we give unwitting permission to men that it’s ok to treat all women this way.
