Doing that first post was really anxiety-inducing. Despite thoroughly planning, I am unsure. The point of this project is to make a statement about feminism x internet x sex work x voyeurism x identity x autonomy. But, no one knows this a performance piece. But, it is one. Is it one? It has to be one. Because I am an artist and I put a lot of thought and introspective reflection into this. Does that legitimize it? Or am I just creating more content in accordance to the demands of the patriarchy? I'm not, because I know myself that I am not. Not that there is any problem with doing so... that's just not the point of what I'm doing currently.
I made sure to comb through my followers for family members. I made sure none of them had access to my story posts for the next couple of weeks. They would not understand.
Doing these dares made me feel extremely vulnerable. In a way I was giving up my autonomy. But in a way I still had control.
Some of the responses were really funny. So I turned them into memes.
