Society celebrates femmes who walk the tightrope of appealing to the male gaze. But when we have bodies, desires and beliefs which are unpalatable to the mainstream, we are silenced and punished. 

 

Being sexy entices the algorithm. Showing skin tantalises the algorithm. It is only when our sexuality is deemed too crude, too fat, too black or too deviant that the algorithm bites the tit that feeds. 

 

We defy those who wish to use our bodies for profit while dictating who we can and can’t be. We need sexual content which educates and challenges us. Conforming is a recipe for repression, patriarchal beauty standards and bad sex.
