Originating from tales of #Japanese & #Vietnamese prostitutes seducing US soldiers during #WW2 & the #VietnamWar, it is the fantasy that #AsianWomen are quiet, submissive, yet sexually promiscuous. In short, a #misogynist’s wet dream.
This idea that #AsianWomen would gracefully embrace male dominance whilst being an exotic sex toy spread like an epidemic, hence the name #YellowFever.

[Lots of other white men, including some of my husband’s #journalism colleagues, were quick to comment that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Well, that’s bullshit. Even for people who did recognize the shootings as an act of #racism, I had to explain to them that it’s not just racism. It’s a #racialized #misogyny that’s very, very specific to #AsianWomen. ]

My #Eyes Are Up Here: On the #Hypersexualization of #Women and #Girls.
My journey through #womanhood #initiated with the early #budding of my #breasts. After less than a decade of #childhood – despite fierce #denial – my baby chest was covered with my first #training #bra. I was exposed to how the changing of my #body reflected how I #interacted with #boys.
