Also, though, this isn't just fems, like, i'm sure feminine-aligned people of all types get a lot of shit, but women at large (whether they're feminine or not) and practically all non-passing afab people get the same objectification. Opting out of femininity has not diminished the creepy comments and harassment i get. Whenever this type of thing comes up, i feel the need to point out that woman =/= fem, and both catagories (plus a lot of afab people who are neither) experience misogyny and objectification.
THANK YOU :volcel-police:

That’s interesting and I hadn’t considered that perspective all that much. Thanks for sharing.
