restructr!

Things like rape jokes or comments that sexualize and objectify women are both crude and sexist, but it’s the sexism that needs to be eradicated, not necessarily the crudeness. To conflate the two avoids the issue and perpetuates the sexist stereotype that women are sensitive flowers and men need to walk on eggshells around us. It’s the same leap in logic a person takes when finding out that a woman doesn’t want to deal with sexist slurs like “bitch” and assuming that means women don’t like swearing. Fuck that.
