One time I saw someone complain about a post that said something along the lines of “libfems need to reckon with the harm that blind and uncontextualized sex positivity has done to women” by complaining that it placed the blame for patriarchal violence on women instead of on men but. Women are responsible for the things we say and do to each other. Every mother who has passed on her deeply and traumatizingly unhealthy ways of thinking about food to her daughter, every woman who has ever failed to support a woman she knew deserved her support against a male coworker coming up for a raise or for disciplinary action, every woman who has publicly complained that women are getting too comfortable coming forward about sexual assault, every white woman who has sided with white men over women of color, has something to reckon with. We have responsibilities to each other.
