“if you’re a woman who likes the color pink and cutesy clothes you are infantalizing yourself for pedophilles!!!” is the WOORRSTTT awoke twitter take Ive been seeing lately
this is getting tiny amounts of traction so I have to explain that no, I’m not saying all of Twitter believes this, and usually when I see this take its written in a more subtle way but the end message is still the same
There is a real issue of women being infantilized in pornography or for other sexual entertainment aimed at men but there’s still a world of difference between that and women who are just interested in pink/cutesy things
Also women will never be responsible for the behavior of men. If all women stopped liking pink/pastels/cute clothes tomorrow, pedophiles will not cease to exist
Sometimes it feels like as a woman you’re allowed to be either “cute” or “sexy”, and “cute has an expiration date past a certain age and therefore you must be “sexy”. a woman can never be both, and that pisses me off
And this gets more complicated for curvy or plus sized women because extra weight is automatically seen as more “vulgar” and it’s sexualized and fetishized
