Respectability politics is a trap.
Being modest doesn't stop men from sexualizing us. Neither does abstaining from casual sex. They're always going to find a way to say "we asked for it".
Modesty and curling inwards on ourselves does not stop patriarchy.
It's a trap: attempts to appease the oppressors, who will NEVER be pleased, only make the oppressed fight among ourselves.
