Women's Liberation
Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy.
We stand up for the rights of women as a sex-class. Women have a right to bodily autonomy and to set their own boundaries and have them respected. We resist efforts to limit women's reproductive autonomy. We condemn the men who exploit and abuse women in prostitution and pornography. We oppose all harms and forms of exploitation of women and girls, regardless of whether or not they're sold as "choice" or re-framed as "empowering." We oppose the movement to redefine "women" in a way that erases the realities of our lives and makes organizing for our liberation as a sex-class impossible.
"In the radical feminist view, the new feminism is not just the revival of a serious political movement for social equality. It is the second wave of the most important revolution in history. Its aim: the overthrow of the oldest, most rigid class/caste system in existence, the class system based on sex – a system consolidated over thousands of years, lending the archetypal male and female roles an undeserved legitimacy and seeming permanence." –Shulamith Firestone, The Dialectic of Sex

I know this daughter has been to hell and back, but I am having trouble being sympathetic to her making this story tabloid news. I get a real ick feeling about it, and it's just not necessary.
She's also "not sure" if it's her underwear or not. She herself questions the event. Maybe she doesn't want to believe it herself, so it's pretty easy to understand Giselle's point of view. I can't blame her for not being able to go there emotionally.
I also got an ick feeling, and was trying hard to give her the benefit of the doubt.
I wanted to have empathy for her at first. But the more I read about her and her trashy book, the harder it becomes to feel anything but contempt for how she's throwing her mom under the bus for some coins
Her book seems to basically be about her anger at her mom, she's grown n's if the world can have empathy for her mother I don't know why she can't. Like she seems desperate to make this about her, probably because of how her childhood was and the implications with her father. I don't know what to say, I'd never compare traumas but what Gisele went through is so horrific that I just can't stomach ANYONE judging her afterwards. She deserves her peace, and her time to work through all this. If it takes the rest of her life so what, stop making demands of her damn. Now the whole world will want her to comment and eyes will be on her in a negative light, blaming her for not hating her husband. As if she's the one who committed the crime. And we don't even know how she feels about him, I'm not taking Darian at her word.
