The Wretched of the Earth: ihaveabsolutelynoidea:... →
ihaveabsolutelynoidea: here’s the thing about sex, sexualization, rape culture and the phrase “sex sells” sex does not sell. at all. the objectification of women’s bodies is not sex. focusing on breasts or gentials or ass in order to sell a product or an idea is not the same thing as sex….

lanegrabarbuda: I love trying to look at Tumblr casually at work/school, and then someone posts something NSFW and you have to scramble like an early 90s movie hacker to make sure that A) no one else sees it, and, B) it looks like you were doing work the whole time. Not an early 90s movie hacker though!! LMAOOO
