Really? It's been a pushed narrative used to exploit young women forever. It basically works in the brain in the same way that eating disorders do, that's a loose comparison, but as far as the thinking that gets you there to accept it, it's apt.

Objectification of you as a woman begins shortly after age 10 for us. We're still children when the creeps start trying to gain access to us. You kind of don't really understand what's going on for a while. You don't know how to react but everyone else NOT being shocked and disgusted and outraged teaches you that there's nothing to see here. The nor.alization begins.

By the time you're a teenager, especially if you're anywhere near traditionally beautiful, you're getting it from all sides. You still don't have a handle on it, mentally. But now it's not just the occasional creepy old guy, it's your classmates, any male in a position of authority, father's of your friends, and the random dudes never went anywhere. Only now, you're also cast as a Lolita just because you're a teenage girl. Just because males find you sexually desirable, you must be a master manipulator using feminine wiles.

You've got zero control over these guys, nobody's looking to protect you, it's all your fault they act this way because you grew boobs,, and somehow you're also supposed to take responsibility for and control or correct their just by virtue and power of......actually, I still have no fucking clue. I'm about to turn 53.

Anyway, you hit early adulthood right there. With all that normalization, expectation, burden, with zero say in the matter. You're desperate for some sense of control. Let's face it, your own mother will throw you under the bus on this one. Happens every damn day. Ask around. Ask the women in your life.

By the time you hit 18, you are well versed that there will be no reprieve, no comfort, no assistance, no aid, no protection. Not from anyone. You're a Jezebel because you're pretty.

That makes you extremely vulnerable and desperate in a couple of ways. And then here's some thinking patterns that set you on that path you don't understand.

Given the circumstances, they are nothing but logical.

1. If I'm going to be exploited and abused no matter what I do, better to be so by one than many or all. I'll pick a badass who at least will be shelter from the many.

2. If I'm going to swxualized and exploited no matter what I do, it's better to do so with some measure of say so that at least I get something out of it and can avoid some of the really bad shit.

3. If I'm going to be sexualized and exploited no matter what I do, I'm going to make myself so disgusting most of them will stay away. Better to be bullied because of being fat or unfeminine than waiting around to get raped.

4. If this is how it is and there's no other option, I'm keeping all men out of my life, I'm going to learn how to fight, I will do whatever I can to learn to protect myself. I will never trust any man. After all, they are the cause, not me. I was a CHILD. I was 11/12/13 years old. This is on men.

Number 2 gets you on Only Fans.

1 through 3 have been tried in various ways over the decades ad nauseum infinitum. And we see the fallout of all that. It's not been good for women.

It's nice to see option 4 being taken for a spin. Maybe not for men because youre losing that automatic perception of bei g "valuable and trustworthy, inherently because you are male" but then....men never cared about our mental health and well being when we were being robbed of our childhood, did they?
