Do you think that if a girl wears short skirts she is a slut?

I’ve gotten a lot of messages because of this drawing this week calling me sexist and saying that I’m slut-shaming and being offensive. And basically I just wanted to say sorry! That wasn’t my intention! It was supposed to be sarcasm directed towards Taylor Swift’s habit of shaming other girls (it was more about her song “Better Than Revenge” than “You Belong with Me”, though). Anyways, I’m just really sorry so many people were offended by it, I shouldn’t have posted it without a disclaimer or clarification of some kind, if at all.

  2. sugarknife said: it’s a great drawing with a hilarious and worthwhile message. i don’t think you owe anybody any goddamn apology. people just really cherish their opportunities to be offended.
  3. bittertwee said: The worst part is that you’ve been so vocal *against* slut-shaming! Anyone who reads your tumblr regularly would know that but I guess that’s the issue. You always run the risk of something you post getting out of your control & being misinterpreted
  4. beerssteersandqueers said: I didn’t think you were slut-shaming nor being offensive necessarily. After I figured out it was modeled after Taylor Swift, it made sense and I thought it was a good approach and commentary on HER slut shaming lyrics that influenced young people.
  5. colinhanks said: I thought it was pretty obvious that it was about how taylor swift shames other girls! i loved it and I hope people lay off!

  7. happybirthdaymary said: it’s unfortunate that a lot of people reblogged it (or just posted it) out of context, or in a way that attempted to validate what was meant to be satire.
  8. mutilated said: I got that it was sarcasm right away, you’re way too cool of a person to actually label people as sluts. But unfortunately, TSwift has made that her career :/
