to clarify i should have put "is" because i think the goal of bringing about equal rights for women initially was commendable

 

but now that the main agenda is to take responsibility away from women

i know this is going to be misinterpreted so let me clarify, my issue with the concept of victim blaming is that it removes the woman's agency in that she is told that her choices have no impact on whether she is victimised or not... this is not only dis-empowering but its also a lie as the women of india have realised

What does this mean?

to take away choices from women

and pretty much to do the opposite of empowering women for the most part from what i am observing then one has to wonder what is the true aim?

Where are the feminists that were asking this to happen?  

Sure, you can certainly find instances of people supporting this, but you can also find feminists who are opposed to it.

I'm not in favor of banning grid girls, because I'm a feminist.  

 

"What does this mean?"

it means that your choices matter 

it means that if you fear being attacked you can choose to be passive and take no precautions

or alternatively you can choose as the women of india to take precautions such as equipping yourself with a firearm to shoot any attackers dead

the ban was put into place because feminists argued that this objectified women

"Boxing has not followed darts and banned the bimbo, but it can’t be long. Until recently, glamorous women were tasked with walking alongside the male darts players onto the stage. It’s unfortunate that people are losing work, but I’m not sorry sporting bodies are finally realising that using women in demeaning roles sends out the wrong message."

the truly ironic thing here is that the woman who writes this claims to be advocating for women's empowerment... but then resorts to calling women who make choices she disagrees with as "the bimbo"... what the fuck

"Broadly speaking, you can’t ignore the inherent sexism that surrounds these roles. Employing women solely in a decorative fashion, to adorn and praise successful men is nothing other than problematic. As with anything, context is key. The problem here is not women's bodies, nudity or sexuality. It is the monopolization of those things by men in a male-dominated sphere."

 

"I'm not in favor of banning grid girls, because I'm a feminist.  "

let me ask you a very relevant question here, do you believe that women should be treated the same as men?
