To the men who have told me that I’m overreacting and “it’s the 21st century women are equal now”

Ditto.

Note that the “women make only 77.5 cents for every dollar that men earn” statistic applies only to white women. Women of color make significantly less.

• Black women make about $0.68 to a man’s dollar.
• Latina women make about $0.58 to a man’s dollar.

THE FACT THAT PEOPLE USED TO GLORIFY “CURVES” AND “HEAVIER GIRLS” ISN’T ANY BETTER THAN THE FACT THAT NOWADAYS PEOPLE GLORIFY “BONES” AND “SKINNY GIRLS”.

IT WAS STILL BODY SHAMING.

IT WAS STILL SOCIETAL PRESSURE TO FIT INTO A MALE-PRODUCED IDEA OF SEXY.

IT WAS STILL WILDLY USED TO SELL THINGS.

ALSO, WHILE WE’RE AT IT, LET’S FUCKING STOP SAYING “BEFORE SKINNY THERE WAS SEXY” BECAUSE WHEN YOU SAY “EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL” AND THEN SHAME SKINNY PEOPLE YOU’RE NOT BEING BODY-POSITIVE YOU’RE JUST BEING AS MUCH OF AN ASSHOLE AS THE PEOPLE WHO PUSH THE IDEA THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE THIN.

AND STOP FUCKING SAYING CELEBRITIES FROM THE OLD TIMES LIKE MARILYN MONROE WERE INSPIRATIONAL BECAUSE THEY WEREN’T SUPER THIN, THEY WERE STILL LOOKING LIKE THE BEAUTY IDEAL THEY WERE EXPECTED TO FIT INTO. THEY WEREN’T REVOLUTIONARY. THEY WERE DOING THE EXACT SAME THINGS CURRENT-DAY CELEBRITIES DO.

THIS IS GOING REALLY SLOW! WE ONLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OVER A MONTH TO RAISE $16,139! WE’RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT IF THIS KEEPS BEING SLOW LIKE THIS! 

A lot of you have already donated, and some of you are not able to. That’s OK! You can still contribute to promoting this fundraiser by reblogging this and make your own posts about it. If you reblog this, those who haven’t donated or aren’t aware of the limited amount of time that they have to do so, will see this and donate. 

ONLY 41 MORE DAYS LEFT TO REACH $16,139! I know we can do it. We always can when we put the effort into it.

“Essentially my parents named me Genevieve and then at the last minute changed it to Jennifer, but I’ve grown up being told my name was Genevieve. No one’s ever called me Jennifer, so it’d be weird to hear it. So no, it wasn’t for acting. Genevieve was my grandmother’s name.”
