““Just because I’m a public figure, just because I’m an actress, does not mean that I asked for this, […] Anybody who looked at those pictures, you’re perpetuating a sexual offense, you should cower with shame.””
– Cover Exclusive: Jennifer Lawrence Calls Photo Hacking a “Sex Crime”.
Warner Bros. makes a lot of money each year licensing the rights to the superhero IP of DC Comics. And that includes literally hundreds of t-shirts. We know that licensing can be pretty strict. It took a public shaming for them to allow the Superman logo to be used on a statue of a young fan who had been starved to death.
So it’s always interesting to see what DOES get signed off on. Like this shirt.
“”76% of negative feedback given to women included some kind of personality criticism, such as comments that the woman was “abrasive,” “judgmental” or “strident.” Only 2% of men’s critical reviews included negative personality comments.””
“Those three problems – women being threatened, women being pressured to change their own behavior to avoid sexual assault, and women being told that they don’t deserve protection unless they stay pure and ladylike – are all individually terrible. But together, they add up to something even worse: a vicious cycle that pressures women out of public life. When we tell women that the threats and attacks they experience are their own fault, for failing to be sufficiently chaste or failing to take “responsible” precautions, we are telling them that they are on their own: that they cannot rely on society’s protection against those crimes. How many women hear that message and decide that they have no choice but to give up that activist campaign or to turn down that higher-profile job or to hold off on writing that article? How hard will it be for UN Women to recruit its next Goodwill Ambassador?”
– The sexual threats against Emma Watson are an attack on every woman.
