- I'm 20, though I'm told I still look 14. Most background is Puerto Rican yet I can't speak spanish fluently yet. I go by the nickname of Lexii. I'm currently a proud mother of a Baby Boy, named Antonio, and I love him unconditionally. One of my favorite things to do is photograph people when they aren't paying attention. =]
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 for being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists.
Our celebrity obsessed culture may be a joke but breast cancer definitely isn’t - nearly 500,000 people die from it every year. Angelina Jolie’s doctors estimated she had an 87% risk of developing breast cancer and a 50% risk of developing ovarian cancer because she carries the common gene mutation that causes both. Her mother died at the age of 56 after a long battle with cancer as well. My own mother had both breast and ovarian cancer within a couple short years and let me tell you, it’s about the least funny thing in the world to watch someone suffer from.
Valuing someone’s body parts you sexualized over their life and humanity goes beyond sexism, it’s sub-human.

Tell me you don’t feel
Tell me you don’t think
Tell me you don’t see
The way I see
When the waters come
And call us out to sea
And our bodies sink into the earth
What’s left of us now?What its like to live a life without meaning, purpose or drive?
For we escape to our mistakes they…
