I am watching the Olympics and hey, this post is kind of related. I have been thinking about Aly Raisman since her Sports Illustrated shoot came out. I liked it. I think she is in general brave and strong and of course there was negativity about it because a woman on the internet did a thing and that is bound to piss a lot of men off. They seem like dicks to me. The shoot of course isn’t what makes her brave, sometimes people are brave to just get up and face the day. She and a lot of other women are brave for just that reason alone. I don’t really want to get into abuse here, I have a lot to say about it and always have but this is not the blog for it, so I will just say if you have suffered you have my sympathy. It is really hard, it is very isolating, and it will always be with you. But I guess that’s part of the bravery, not just continuing on but speaking out. It helps people feel at least not so alone. Beyond all the pragmatic reasons for it it gives other people courage and resolve. So I get angry when I see sad, shitty men on the internet act like sad, shitty men because a girl wore a bathing suit but then I remind myself they don’t matter, not even a little. They are trolls and trolls live for attention so my attention will instead by on Aly Raisman, who is basically a real life superhero. And by that I am no longer talking about coming forward, I am talking about there being pictures to her clinging to a wall in last year’s SI because she is in peak physical condition so is probably the closest to Spider-man we’re ever going to get. Aly Raisman can climb walls. That’s awesome. It’s also really hot. She’s beautiful and impressive and today I want to fuck Aly Raisman.
