Great, sensible thread. Tbh this is just unravelling on twitter with absurd hesaid/shesaid Mood. Not personally invested in any of these people bc i don& #39;t know them -- like most of you. BUT i do care about feminist discourse and doubling down while eliding disturbing points is... https://twitter.com/otherwarya/status/1198701820874575872">https://twitter.com/otherwary...
very concerning. Particularly, repeated tweets I see on how consent and negotiating sexual intimacy is black and white. I am 28 so from a slightly older gen but I& #39;m fairly sure surprise nudes to someone you& #39;re seeing is a thing. Genuinely asking (...)
Do you always ask yr partner before you kiss them? Smush their butt? Send a sext? Lowkey grump abt how long it& #39;s been since you last had sex?Bc if we wade into this we& #39;re talking about consent in intimate relationships and we have to deal w how messy it gets.
Pathologising all behaviour that could be breaching boundaries is unhelpful. Conflating it with rape is unhelpful. There is a vast spectrum on which sexual violence occurs and much of the conv around it needs to happen inside our homes and intimate relationships w people we love
Pretending this isn& #39;t the case is unhelpful. Again this thread is about the DISCOURSE not defending either camp. As for idiots who are like ok ALL women, whole #MeToo https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> movement is fAkE nEwZ, why engage? They& #39;re like Sanghis who think Pak funds Washington Post no?
Last, if yr whole activism is just telling people you don& #39;t know, who did creepy things, to die or rot in hell online, please do better. Online activism is in service of offline community. There is a lot that is frightening in the country rn.
In this last year the larger discourse still hardly acknowledges the ABSURD disparity in systemic sexual violence & marginalisation of DBA communities. Else people would know of @dalitwomenfight more. We& #39;d show up in larger nos. for the rights of sex workers & trans community
