When has being feminist and self-aware & happy with ones appearance ever made a rapist reconsider raping? https://t.co/Ya4Kq1ip53

Bialik's op-ed basically recounts her experience in Hollywood as a non conventionally attractive teen and subsequently woman, while stating that her choices of not dieting, not getting plastic surgery or a personal trainer, as well as dressing modestly and not being flirtatious, were "protecting and wise". She ends the piece by saying that in an ideal world we women would be free to act however we like, but alas that's not the case and "change doesn't happen overnight".
Sexual assault/harassment/rape are crimes. They are not yet another social issue women need to make sense of. They are CRIMES.

Sexual violence against women is a global epidemic. Framing it in terms of a failure of women's self esteem or lack of feminism is appalling

I've been a feminist in show business for 30 plus years. I have never felt so insecure that I'd think beautiful actresses were the problem.

And I have never, ever, thought anyone who was sexually violated should have expected it. NOT. ONCE.

Why is a piece about systemic sexual harassment now abt telling women what they should or shouldn't do to live a "meaningful life"? https://t.co/9sxycmnXJb

We're experiencing the most anti-woman admin in my lifetime, women are confronting misogynist violence & trying 2 fight back.

Do not presume to tell women, professional women in business, YES, even actresses, that sexual assault is the price of doing business.

Dont use feminism to instruct women on what is "meaningful" or else be victims. You sound like Phyllis Schlafly. @missmayim @duarteamanda

The worst part, of course, is that the @nytimes went ahead & published this convoluted gibberish disguised as "another perspective."

Every time we frame sexual assault/harassment/rape in terms of how we think women should deal with it, we perpetuate it. It's not on us, pal
