Sophie is my name I identify as femme, queer, a feminist, body positive, trans n' gender positive.
I love good music, crafts, activism, body positivity, make up, baking, cats, vintage & kitsch finds, all things geekery, bioshock and other video games and bad jokes about pink eye.
I have an ongoing struggle with my body and some amazing pees are helping me, so expect lots of lovely rad bodies on here.

Glee, GQ and the Sexualization of Young Girls

The recently released November issue of GQ has some highly sexualized photos of select members of the Glee cast. I weigh in on the impact that a photo shoot that takes actors who play high school students on a widely popular television show has on the sexual and gender identities of young people and their sexual lives. This is just one example of MANY images that infantalize adult women and fetishize young girls. Instead of sexualizing young people (and the imitation of young girls by adult women) for the (very disturbing) pleasure of adult men, we, as a society should be supporting and cultivating healthy sexual development and exploration in youth.

cartoonmind Medi J./Anastasia B. @   @HelloClaireese @BrodyDalle im usually more moved by male artist. I personally think fems expect auto attention w/o work b/c of their cooch. 19 Oct   in reply to ↑ @BrodyDalle Brody Dalle @cartoonmind @HelloClaireese what you are saying is sexist and insulting , i’ve never even thought about my “cooch” when playing the guitar or when i’m writing

@cartoonmind @HelloClaireese how about this ,I’m a fucking songwriter , i have written and played since i was 13 , it’s my fucking passion

@cartoonmind @HelloClaireese it’s my calling , i would be doing it if i wasn’t successful because i’m compelled to write and play

HelloClaireese Claireese Lopez @   @BrodyDalle @cartoonmind what I was commenting on was the way society sees female artists/musicians. It was not an attack on you personally. 19 Oct in reply to ↑ @BrodyDalle Brody Dalle @HelloClaireese when you generalize like that , you insult a lot of women , not just me. HelloClaireese Claireese Lopez   @BrodyDalle @cartoonmind also, the misconception that I as a female need to “prove” myself to be seen as an equal. 19 Oct in reply to ↑ @BrodyDalle Brody Dalle @HelloClaireese there are so many factors in the equation. I know tons of guys who can “shred” but don’t havea drop of talent in their bones
