also, hypersexualization is a big contributor to the MMIW epidemic—it’s about keeping our women safe, women who are 12x more likely to go missing & be victims of violence.

it’s about so much more than cultural appropriation, Yknow? (that’s important too) but to wear fake versions of our traditional dress from a white company when traditional dress & practices were illegal for us 50 years ago in some places is ugly

I'd never seen MMIW mentioned before. Holy shit. We(America and the world as a whole) has to do so much better.

Thank you for taking the time to read!! I’m so glad this post could start these conversations. Something interesting that hasn’t been talked about yet here—- the connection between “man worker camps” at pipeline construction sites & MMIW statistics. 🥺

❌Literally no person has gone missing because someone else wore a sexy costume at some point.
But more importantly than that falsehood is the ugliness of blaming how women dress on violence against women. Ugly AND untrue.
