The fact Russell Brand thinks women displaying sexuality is them emulating men, rather than seeing them as equally sexual beings really summarises the problem with this take imo https://t.co/g96LEss64e

And also any analysis that doesn't take into account the context of racialised and gendered notions of sexuality and what it means for BLACK WOMEN to reclaim that audaciously is inane and ahistorical xoxo. But also yes ur showing too much cleavage

Click to view- Russell Brand has decided to focus in on the "emergent polmeic use of sexual imagery" in the WAP video to decide whether it is either a "feminist masterpiece or porn" - because you know that's the only two categories female-made art can be placed in.
- Brand says he wasn't sure it helped to progress equality between men and women, because they were only "aspiring and replicating values that have been established by males". He goes on use Margaret Thatcher as an example of someone who "extolled, espoused, and conveyed" male values but wasn't a feminist.
