overall i think we need to walk on eggshells (/pos) in how we criticize these kinds of actions and/or mainstream representations around women and such, because in one hand we can and should be able to talk about the negative impact that certain things can do regarding the status that women and fem-perceived people, but in the other hand we also can not fall into victim blame women and fem-perceived people for misogyny's existence
I don't blame women nor fem-perceived people for people's actions against their autonomy and dignity because of how they want to represent or show themselves, because they would still be harmed regardless of how they portray themselves. misogyny is misogyny, and it doesn't "discriminate" between those deemed as "modest" and those deemed as "whores"
but also seeing people trying to defend the cover as something that's been done with a "empowering message" is, imo, delusional . i dont think people should consider anything a woman or fem-perceived person does as empowering just because they are the ones doing it
i definitely agree with you yes! and to add to that, women don't have to constantly be empowering. it does seem like it's kind of blurring the line between you know.. being a feminist, and giving into anti-feminist ideals, but it's just tiring to always have to fight for your cause. if that made sense.. but i guess i personally might hold some misogynistic views (very ashamedly so) and that might also influence my opinion of her in general so
true; we (in general) are taught to act in certains ways since we're children, and all the media we consume daily influences us in the way we act or talk, to the point of being able to do things that are unconsciously non feminist . we're not bad people for doing that, but we should try to be critical thinkers as much as possible, although not try to seek perfection
