Gauging the Farcaster audience... are women choosing to objectify themselves, or are they being objectified, and some people can’t handle when hot women are good at things? Most (if not all) of the women you’re all vaguely alluding to aren’t posting thirst traps. They’re not being provocative. They’re smart. Funny. Consistent. Creative. And they're also hot, and that triggers your internalized (kind of) misogyny. Is there pretty privilege at play? Of course. I know all about pretty privilege, I mean look at me. But if you’re going to claim the leaderboard is full of people who got there by objectifying themselves, name names. Yes, there are gooners and simps here. Always will be. That’s not why there are women on the leaderboard. Some of y’all aren’t upset about the content. You’re upset that you like it, and you haven’t figured out how to metabolize that without blaming women. That’s not critical thinking. It’s just misogyny. And it’s tired. Do better. Look within. Log off. Touch some grass. Maybe pet a dog while you’re out there. We’re great at perspective.

someone in that screenshot alluded once before I wasn’t allowed to comment on the patriarchy or feminism bc I’m a lesbian and don’t date men so yeah I’d say some folks just don’t get it :)

Ah yes, because women only exist in relation to men, so how could they possibly have a valid opinion if they aren’t romantically interested in them? What a deeply unserious take. You don’t need to date men to recognize or be effected by patriarchy. You just need to live in the world. Sorry someone tried to silence you like that. Your voice matters, and your perspective is exactly the kind that threatens people who benefit from not having to think too hard. 💜
