‘Good Girls’ also nicely illustrates why it is so important to be vigilant about efforts that claim to be feminist while ignoring intersectionality. Women participating in the marginalization of other women for their individual gain is not a phenomenon limited to slut-shaming. Far from it. There are SO many situations in which women, or people of really any marginalized identity group, stand on the shoulders of others in their group to solidify their own social position.
"It’s easy for us to say that we don’t participate in the patriarchy because we are women, or because we have been women, that we have known what it’s like to be objectified, oppressed, fetishized….
Yeah, I really feel like this article is super relevant, to me at least. An interesting read, and something I think about a lot in regards to mine and other people’s gender identities, as well as my own behavioural self-awareness.

Never for one second while wearing men’s clothing or any other type of clothing, do I feel like I want to be a man. There is nothing about becoming a heterosexual man that is in any way appealing to me. I wear ‘men’s clothing’ because I like the aesthetic. I feel sexier in a button-down and a bow-tie than I ever have in a dress. I am drawn to men’s clothing because it allows me to be in control of how my body and person are perceived. In men’s clothing, no one has visual ownership of my curves, breasts, behind, or any other part of my body. (Why do we have to gender items of clothing so hard anyway?) Like calm down everyone, the world isn’t going to spin out of the galaxy. They’re just clothes.
