So today Angelina Jolie had double mastectomy, which is the removal of one’s breasts, to prevent Breast cancer. So instead of praising Angelina on her bravery, men on Twitter decided to ridicule her, even calling her stupid for removing her breasts. For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists about being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists.
This is why I made a point of mentioning how much I think she should be admired/respected for going public with this decision on my Twitter AND Facebook, because I knew those are the sites where there would be reactions like this. I’ve also seen people poo-pooing the story with “well she’s just gonna replace them anyway!” and to that I say, so what? That isn’t the point. The choice to go for surgical implants does not take away from her original decision to undergo a double mastectomy.
