Okay, are belly button piercings "trashy," or do you just associate them with femininity, or women, or sex work and strike it down as inherently less worthy? Are 'tramp stamps' "trashy", or do you just associate them with femininity, or women, or sex work and strike it down as inherently less worthy? Is pole dance "trashy", or do you associate it with women, or sex work and strike it down as inherently less worthy?
These are examples, but I find it interesting when people link things with womanhood or femininity or - gasp! - sex work and then immediately condemn, scrutinize, and dehumanize those who even dapple a little in these things, even if it isn't for sex work or to "look trashy." It's funny how the feminine or woman is seen as trashy until proven otherwise, and it's shameful that people still hold the bias that women must prove their humanity by not "being trashy" or "acting like a hooker."
#feminism#look i'm not arguing sex work with people but it's funny that SWers are seen as less than human unless they have a sad story or they hate..#...themselves for 'stooping so low.' and it's funny that women bear both brunts of misogyny (sarcasm)#i'm saying this as a man who is also 'trashy' because i exercise my bodily autonomy every chance i get#just got my belly button done and i think it's a lovely body mod that can be so versatile#same with lower back tattoos!!! some of them are SO pretty in design and artistry#misogyny#misogyny tw#as i get older i realize just how deep the misogyny and policing of ESPECIALLY femininity and those who are/are forced to be/ect women#frankly a woman should be able to 'be trashy' or 'act like a hooker' and not fear for their safety or wellness#again i say all this as a man but i also want women* to feel safe and able to exercise the same bodily autonomy i do as a man
