The document discusses sexting among teens and its illegality. It notes that sexting laws disproportionately affect some groups more than others, including queer youth, racialized youth, and low-income youth. The document also discusses the difference between consensual sexting aimed at pleasure and communication, versus abusive sexting intended to harm or humiliate someone. It then criticizes a pen marketed specifically for women as reinforcing outdated gender stereotypes about what women should write.

8. “Cristal For Her ballpoint pens are
reserved for women and feature a
diamond-engraved barrel for an
elegant, unique feminine style. The
tinted, hexagonal barrel is thinner
for better handling for women and
still keeps the ink supply visible.”
“Finally! For years I’ve had to rely
on pencils, or at worst, a twig and
some drops of my feminine blood
to write down recipes (the only
thing a lady should be writing
ever).”
