THE VULVA FLOWER 🌸
The censorship of our bodies, the ‘offensiveness’ of our female anatomy, hurt us all. I’m not talking about our identities, and feminism, and politics.
I’m talking about women who fear going for Pap smears and check ups, who’re scared to tell their parents they have infections and don’t know what to do, who don’t know about HPV vaccines, and birth control, and put themselves in danger, because society shames our bodies, shames what makes us women, shames what makes us sacred and amazing, and different from men.
I hesitated a little speaking up about this because I have been closely working with @kotexmy on some campaigns, and understood the terms we’re bound by when we work, but when I talked to the representatives down at Kotex, they reassured me that this fight, our fight, is so much bigger than just brands. 😭💖
I’m so so happy to be in a place where I can collaborate with people like this. who give me the freedom to stand up for what I believe in, and lend power and voice through me, that in the bigger picture, what we want are all the same.
Our bodies are not shameful, or offensive, or sexual. They are beautiful, and wondrous, and incredible and should be celebrated! ✨
I am so comforted in knowing, in their act of censoring us, they actually blew up the whole thing by accident, and it blew right back in their faces. 😉
