Singer/model Sky Ferreira posted an Instagram last night
detailing her disdain for anonymous commenters who think it's okay to put her
and other public female figures down, especially in terms of appearance-based
abuse -- which she says is often the primary criterion for superficial people
to judge her.
"It's pretty petty and shitty that I'm supposed to
be okay with being called a bitch or a slut or torn apart on my appearance
daily (all day & every day)," she wrote on her Instagram, asserting
that while she's able to brush it off most of time, "sexual/verbal
harassment isn't funny, it's mostly unsettling & at a certain point
intolerable...and abusive." Listing a number of contemporaries -- including
Grimes, Alice Glass, Miley Cyrus and Azealia Banks, who also have to deal with
similar bullshit -- she reminds people that these women "shouldn't have to
be "okay" with [online abuse] & should be able to remind people
to respect them without it being deemed as complaining", and that the
notion of the "'ideal' woman" is a total fluke. A truism if we've
ever heard one. Read her entire message to the haters below.
