Yet, as excited as I was to dive into the world of boudoir, today I awoke with a notification that my pictures were flagged for sexual activity and were removed.
And suddenly I understood how these hopefuls, and models, and -in general- people feel when their content is just a little too much for Instagram. I'm enraged. Playboy is allowed to operate, but someone who recently finished all her courses and is running head first into an industry that builds women up, cannot. People who celebrate their bodies within all the guidelines cannot. People trying to promote their business cannot.
Unbelievable. As if women's bodies are a war on peoples' eyes. The female nipple is a weapon.
As if they couldn't just unfollow me?
But I'm not cutting back my content because someone cannot stomach blurred body parts. I'm not going to quit posting days after I launched that page.
I'm so sorry to SuicideGirls, to Hopefuls, to models in general. What a nasty, hypocritical platform you have to work with. From someone who enjoys scrolling through and seeing you revel in all that glory, don't stop what you are doing. 🖤
