Respectfully, reductio ad jealousy is how people who want to defend sexual libertinism have prevented women from raising red flags about bad female behavior (real) for a long, long time. Literally a manosphere talking point. Deeply sexist, implies that all women give a shit about is male validation. I’m sure there’s truth in the fact that some women shame other women bc they’re jealous of the attention. But many other women simply know the degrading spiritual effect that dressing like a whore for attention has on the woman who’s doing it, as well as every man, woman, and child into whose vision she’s forcing herself. Believe it or not, some people still care about civilization for its own sake

@helen_of_roy Nope, this is pure woman on woman jealousy and hate but I did follow up with this tweet:

@helen_of_roy I think this is a good point. But I also think that there is a line between degrading yourself by dressing like a whore and simply celebrating a beautiful body and I think that most American modesty discourse deliberately obscures this line.
@helen_of_roy If a woman critiques female immodesty, it's called jealousy, and if a man critiques female immodesty, he's accused of being lustful himself.
@helen_of_roy Anyone advocating for a moral standard in modernity is going to be met with one and only one counter argument: "You don't really care about morality, the only reason you're saying this is [insert bad motive.]" Leftists are expert at it, but now everyone mindread their opponents.
@helen_of_roy cleavage being this offensive to you is hilarious. lmao
It’s broader than this. People always whine overmuch about “being a woman online” and I don’t think we as a sex really get more crap, generally, on here. However the one thing we do get disproportionately is people reducing our arguments to assumptions about the personal. It’s true that women are more solipsistic than men but damn, it’s not like we have NO abstract thought lol.
