Tit for tat? Nah! Tit for tit!
A little over two years ago, I was temporarily banned, or rather my Facebook page for amazingwomenrock.com was temporarily banned from Facebook for posting an image of a woman with her mouth taped shut and the caption: Don’t Tap it and Wrap it, Tape Her and Rape Her.
You can see the image and the subsequent post about it at these links:
Yesterday, I ran into this story about artist Micol Hebron who’s Facebook page was shut down three times last week (July 2015) by Facebook, first for posting the image above, and then for posting a link to an article about the fact that she had been banned.
The article says:
“Hebron has gotten some criticism from those who say that focusing on nipples is a small matter compared to larger issues of gender inequality. ‘I certainly agree,’ she says, ‘but not valuing bodies equally is a fundamental issue and when you inherently value a certain demographic less, it leads to all of the other things. It leads to the wage gap, to domestic abuse, to rape. It’s at the core, when fundamental human respect doesn’t play out evenly on the field of images.'”
I agree.
This AWR post is in solidarity with Micol Hebron. Herr website is here.
