People say this all the time, and I completely agree. I feel like that screencap makes me look like I jump to the topic of rape completely unnecessarily. Thing is I received that ask immediately after I’d made posts about clothing in relation to rape, and victim blaming. So at the time I knew that the point that the asker was trying to make. But I can see how it seems like I’m making an assumption when you see the post out of context, as everyone has.

That said, there’s a lot of things that I’d want for a daughter. First and foremost, I’d want her to be happy, but I’d also want her to learn from being sad. I’d want her to be the kind of person that understood the necessity of struggle and chaos in relation to growth and development in the sense that it could teach her compassion, empathy, and so on. I’d want her to be kind, a critical thinker, I’d like her to have a sense of humor and I’d like for her to be successful in the areas that she’s passionate about. I’d like her to be able to develop good relationships with healthy boundaries, and I’d hope for her to both have good friends and be a good friend. And lot’s of other things like that.

If I managed to help raise a girl that could be accomplished in those regards I could honestly give a fuck about the length of her skirt, and as for how much or how frequently she enjoyed sex? I shudder to imagine that being any of my business, and I cannot fathom why or how it could be.

Amazingly, the same rationale would apply to a son.

god, i love marxisforbros so much.
