Mate it’s not the media and it’s not reflection, it’s that when you turn 12 very big, very scary people become obsessed with your body and they make it known to you every single day. It is a huge power that comes with a huge risk and you start living with it as a child

There's a difference between associating fear and sex for these reasons, and find the association erotic, no?

In one way I agree with you yes, but in another way the pavlovian connection of fear=sex and sex=fear kinda just makes it erotic by association. Someone else made this point in another fork on this thread.

Tbh that sounds like horrific pseudo-science. Maybe you're oversimplifying for a tweet but imagine if you heard a young girl say that, would you think it was ok?

But, it’s totally ok to not want this to be true, this is a huge topic of many layers and here we’re touching on an upsetting aspect of it. It may be impossible to do the topic justice in tweet form. Let’s try to see the core of the point being made even if the words are clumsy.
