like it hasn't come up seventy million times with me before.

girls' bodies are not intrinsically better to look at than boys'. fucking christ, if i hear some idiot spout this nonsense even one more time. (note, this is distinct to me from someone who admits they personally find they'd rather look at one or the other given the choice, and realizes it's personal preference perhaps shaped by things or perhaps idiosyncratic, of themselves.)

and when i think about how much gets lost, has been lost because art subjects have always been SO sosososo gendered, my knuckles get white. against the bar.

also s'why i wanted to high-five chelsea's mom in the car for asserting penises aren't ugly any more than vaginas are, amidst many protests by a backseatfull of high school girls.

also s'why i smiled to see julia bookmarked jason's photo shoot. because it was fucking amazing and how many people weren't fucking paying attention. because. because why?
