Sharp tongue Charlie, i couldn’t help but think that it was badass to survive the cold like that though… is this the sort of thing that is harmful b/c of the context?

If they were dudes, and not skinny white cis women, do you think he’d have brought up their chests without bringing up say, the woman who scaled the fence?

Survey says no. Survey says if they were dudes their toplessness would not be the entire focus of a reblog.

The fact is that the commentary was functionally benign, but symptomatic of a fucked up system.

Male activists commenting on women’s toplessness whilst not commenting on anything else about the protest is so fucked up because of the culture we’re in and how it sexualises, infantilises, demonises or dismisses women protesters, topless or otherwise.
