LEAVE MY WIFE ALOOONE

While I think a lot of potential exists for rehabilitating past bad storylines like Malice into something good for Lorna, I know now that Bunn is going to fuck it up. I’m sorry for all of us that Bunn’s so incapable of writing Lorna as her own character that he won’t be able to do anything good with this.

Feminism is having a wardrobe malfunction.

Does your brand of feminism remove barriers for women, or simply move them around? Does is expand options for women, or does it just shift them? You don’t liberate women by forcing them to choose option B instead of option A. What is comfortable for you might not be comfortable for someone else, and it’s entirely possible that what you see as oppressive, other women find comfortable or even downright liberating.

Before you think the girl in the middle is a strawman, let me tell you I used to be her, back in my misguided youth. I considered myself the standard to which other people should adhere. But that was stupid. It’s not up to me to tell people how to dress, and it’s much nicer to let everyone choose for themselves.

Some women would feel naked without a veil. Some women would find it restrictive. Some women would feel restricted by a bra. Some women would feel naked without one. Some women would feel restricted by a tight corset. Others love them. Some wear lots of clothes with a corset. Some only wear the corset and nothing else. What makes any article of clothing oppressive is someoneĀ forcing you to wear it. And it’s just as oppressive to force someoneĀ not to wear something that they want to wear.

And also, if you erase the fact that this comic is in support of sex workers and turn this into a toned downĀ ā€œfree the nippleā€ thing, you don’t get to have the whole pie. You don’t get the whole pie until everybody does.
