thinking about the absolutely insane amount of public support and media coverage Gypsy Rose has gotten since her release and how women of color like Cyntoia Brown, who was released back in 2019 after murdering the 43 yr old man who drove her back to his house when she was 16 to have sex with her, are not given anywhere NEAR as much sympathy

and before anyone twists my words, this is NOT a comparison of crimes or about who had it worse, this is fully about the condemning of women of color and how they are not afforded the same sympathy and protections that white women have in the American prison system AND within the public eye

#like how cyntoia was tried as an adult and constantly villified in court #for choosing to go back to this mans house #a 16 yr old girl who had been forced into the sex trafficing ring for YEARS #and how gyspy is actually facing the OPPOSITE problem with peoples constant infantilization of her #and how she has had to publicly tell people that she is in fact a 30+ year old woman who is capable of making her own adult decisions #but thats a whole seperate issue #this is has nothing to do gypsy rose and everything to do w people like cyntoia brown #dont get it fucking twisted in my fucking notes #anyways #saltxt #th #gypsy rose #cyntoia brown #text
