We should all be about to wear what we love without judgement.

This comment was by Matthew Perkins in reference to the post – What Men Need to Know About a Woman Expressing her Sexuality (Online or Not)
Women’s bodies, what they wear, what makes them happy is not there for the male gaze. If you wear a bikini or a turtleneck it’s none of my business. If I appreciate or don’t, that’s my opinion and I have every right to it. I just don’t get to say anything.
If you were writing from the binary place as a man, traditional, straight, you’d be heralded as getting back the masculinity that was stolen from us. But as a woman if you write things or wear things it’s now somehow unacceptable or narcissistic. Bullshit! We’re all humans and as such we can wear what we love, say what we love, and touch whatever parts of ourselves we want and fucking hooray for that.
Keep it up! Own it, your body your sexuality, your feminism, and most importantly your openness as a human
