“I don’t want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living…i dont want my words to be taken out of context…i dont want to be infantilized because i refuse to be sexualized…i dont want to be molested at shows or on the street by people who perceive me as an object that exists for their personal satisfaction.â€Â â€”Indie pop star and aspiring Targaryen Grimes writes about objectification, sexism, body image, and more on her Tumblr. Read it all.
