      It is entirely possible that the whole internet has agreed only to use "milf" in a joking context and everybody is entirely respectful to real people, so theoretically I could be dying on a non-existent hill. But I've talked to people and seen stuff that makes me believe not everybody can be trusted to act normal.

      Plus, the usual "jokes are the first step to legitimizing" blah blah etc

          Hey thank u for saying this :) it does feel weird to me, always, to use sexualised descriptors for real people without their consent...

          i definitely don't think she's saying the internet would have no misogyny if people stopped talking about milfs, just that it's another aspect that gets normalized
