Let the girl live.
The reaction to Kylie’s videos with Stassie says a lot about how society sexualises women and the way they interact with one another. The frantic comments assessing how Kylie touches her friends and the excitement that ensues are, we hate to say it, reminiscent of men in bars drooling over female friends who platonically kiss one another on nights out.
“The patriarchy hates the idea of women forming real friendships or sisterhood because it goes against the stereotype that women are enemies or competitors.” Concluding that a woman must be gay because she’s shared an intimate moment with a woman showcases our lack of understanding towards how queerness works, and how female friendship works. It’s both homophobic and sexist in one horribly wrapped parcel.Perhaps this idea is still being upheld because men aren’t as sexualised as women, and male, straight friends are rarely encouraged to touch one another in the same way as women are.
