#oh look #now it’s cas’ family that’s burning on the ceiling
dad’s on a hunting trip and he hasn’t been home in a couple millennia
#Bones acts as if everything in the galaxy is Jim’s fault #the kid is seventeen Jim why the fuck is the kid 17 what did you do
AND I WOULD WALK FIVE HUNDRED MILES
AND I WOULD WALK FIVE HUNDRED MORE
JUST TO BE THE MAN WHO WALKED
A THOUSAND MILES TO FIND OUT THAT HIS BROTHER NEVER LOOKED FOR HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE

A catcall is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The purity myth is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The fetishization of female purity in a world where catcalls are an acceptable form of communication telegraphs one thing very clearly:
“Women, stop sexualizing yourselves—that’s our job, and you’re taking all the fun out of it.”
The sexualization of women is only appealing if it’s nonconsensual. Otherwise it’s “sluttiness,” and sluttiness is agency and agency is threatening.
