Dear patriarchy and misogyny, you have taken Italy’s ‘Blowjob Girl’s’ life

How tragic is it that in the world that we live in today the society somehow always manages to find a way to victimise the culprit and shame the victim. When a woman is raped, it is HER fault because she was out late in the night or because short clothes and was thus ‘asking for it’. Even when it comes to the topic of sex, it is okay for a man to have carnal relationships with multiple woman but a woman is termed a ‘whore’ if people find out she has been doing the same.
And thanks to this patriarchy and misogyny, the sick mentality of our society has claimed another victim’s life. Shared by Gianpaolo Russo, this Twitter thread about an Italian woman, Tiziana Cantone, throws light upon her painful journey of how she was branded as Italy’s ‘Blowjob Girl’ in a meme that went viral. It reflects how one callous move on your part can change someone’s life forever and how cyber bullying tortures someone to a point where they end up taking their lives.
