    Arthur Chu Retweeted Mikki Kendall

    I remember I was reading about how attitudes toward sexual assault have changed and was shocked to see this NYT article from when I was in HS -- 1998 or so -- talking about a "record-breaking number of rapes" at the last Lollapalooza in this casual tonehttps://twitter.com/Karnythia/status/1371619103060922370?s=20 …

    A weirdly specific & fuckex up Gen X memory? There was a time in the 90's where girls carried razor blades in their mouths & people said it was about gangs, but every girl I knew did it because getting attacked in bathrooms or on train platforms was common.

        I mean, yes, the article painted it as a bad thing but it was written in a way no one would today -- "This is what you get for going out to a big rock show for druggies" The expert they quoted was literally saying the victim-blaming narrative everyone reacts against today

        The one big word of advice they wanted to pass on -- from someone quoted as a "feminist" and "worker at a rape crisis center" -- was "Those cute little short dresses that are in style now? Really bad idea for a mosh pit, to boys they scream 'easy access'"

        Can you imagine? Saying that *at all* in such an article today -- much less making it "The biggest piece of advice I can give young women" -- would absolutely and deservedly get you "canceled" today But when I was a teen this was mainstream feminism

        And I'm not saying "nobody knew better" -- the message "This kind of advice is just victim-blaming" WAS OUT THERE in the '90s It was just considered "controversial" by mainstream outlets, associated with "radical" feminism, and so never went anywhere

        Shit, people in the '90s thought they were living in an era of "PC gone mad", they thought that feminists were "taking over the country" because of Hillary Clinton and Kurt Cobain doing a show in drag and EMILY's List becoming a thing

        I guess that's the whole point, young people can't fully appreciate how fast we've moved in a short time, and old people either celebrate this and are aware how fragile it is or are terrified by it and feel irrational rage against it

        yeah i say this often wrt queer issues but honestly it's *everything* our attitudes to *everything* have drifted incredibly far leftwards in my own lifetime (this is why i have such little patience for doomer "everything is worse nothing can be done" energy)

        like go and tell someone in 1995 that "defund the police" polls somewhere between 20 and 40 percent in 2021 go and tell someone that millions turned out in the streets to support it go and tell someone that *joe biden* is campaigning on police reform watch their response

        God, I was nearly 30. Two years before I co-founded a anti-street harassment group. It's one of the changes I'm thrilled to see most, that this & the everyday groping are being questioned.

        this reminds me of when the Beastie Boys called out all of the rapes that happened at Woodstock '95 at the VMAs. Kathleen Hanna called it "the biggest 'who farted' moment" or something to that effect in the Punk Singer doc because it killed the vibe completely (by design).
