Okay as a mother for a 16-year old girl I cannot tell you how much these posts affect me. It may be unpopular opinion and I too might get trolled here for it. If you are going to put yourself out there, for every great looking, go for it gal, there will also be a vile response. Take the good, ignore the bad.
But I want to ask, what is the purpose of this photo. Why do teenage girls and even women feel the need to put these kind of intimate photos online for the world to see you, all of you, why, why. Everybody looks the same in lingerie, it is something we all wear, the only difference I wear for practical purposes😆 The thought that these photos encourage teenage daughters like mine and make statements like it is okay to post these kinds of photos online gives me nightmares. The constant awareness campaigning 😆 that I have to do at home is the fault of these so-called WOKE feminists who have rebranded exhibitionism as feminism.
I get what you're trying to say. But you're totally missing the point here.
The issue is NOT about whether she should be posting pics in lingerie OR NOT.
There are women/celebrities who receive rape threats, just for voicing their opinions..and sometimes just for even existing online.
As a mother, your duty is educate your daughter. I, as a woman, also have reservations about posting stuff online, because I am not comfortable .
But does it give me the right to call women who do post pics in lingerie "indecent"?
Definitely NO!
Rape is NOT about a women's clothing, OR whether she is alone outside during night OR whether she has boyfriends or NOT.....
There was a serial rapist in the U.S.A who used to enter women's homes midnight, while they were sleeping and then used to rape them. They got raped inside their houses.😵
There was another rapist, who used to abduct girls (well-dressed by most people's definition) in broad daylight and used then used to torture/rape/murder them. 🤬
So, this twisted logic that women are safe when they're well-dressed and inside their homes needs to go.🤪
There's a difference between telling your daughter "Be safe, and take care"..... (we should be saying that to our sons too)
and telling them. "Beware! There's a possibility that you will get raped any day".
Unfortunately, most of us have been raised with the latter idea, constantly reinforced in our minds by society..
Which is why, the need of the hour is the hour is to shift the blame from the victims....... to the actual culprits, that is the ones who're actually posting such vile comments online.
Psuedo-feminism does exists, but it has nothing to do with the discussion that's going on here.
Dogs bark, because it's in their nature. They don't have a choice. GOD has made them like that.👍🏼
BUT it's not in men's nature to rape. Men are humans. And GOD has given humans the ability to make a choice, good or bad.
And if a man(or woman) is making bad choices, then the onus should be ON THE PEOPLE who make these bad choices. PERIOD!
