what you said was: “i don’t respect women who don’t respect themselves”
what you meant was: “i and society as a whole hold women up to ridiculous respectability standards directly relating to the “purity” of said women while hypersexualizing them at the same time and if you are a woman and don’t fit my awkward monolith of criteria then i refuse to acknowledge your humanity”
what i heard was: “hi i’m a misogynist piece of shit, please punch me in my face”

what I was thinking today
is that art has always been a survival tool for me
I’m USING art, I don’t think of myself as an artist before I think of myself as a person
and if what I’m making isn’t art anymore
I don’t really care
because I’m doing what I need to to survive in my own mind
