Ashley is a plus size model.
The lacy bra Ashley...

thepoliticalnotebook:
I honestly primarily try not to engage with those people, to preserve my energy and sanity. That said, the fundamental argument against that is that feminism remains relevant in a culture and political system that remains dominated by masculinity. The argument you’re referencing is a pernicious one, called “postfeminism,” and essentially is an argument that tries to...
