But sure your ideal type of ‘feminists’ ‘representations’ and ‘activists’ are Selena Gomez who didn’t even give a shit about the BLM, Lena Dunham who molested her own sister, Amy Schumer who talks shit about Asians, The Kardashians/Jenners [not even gonna go further bc they already done too many problematic shits], the white models who compares the struggle of blonde girls and POC or your white neighbor Becky who says sorry only when she got caught
Yeah sure, all up to you boo
