Emily Sears
Emily Sears is an actress and model from Melbourne, Australia born November 10, 1985 - she presently lives in Los Angeles, CA. Emily's charm, grit, and almost energetic allure stems from an upbringing of composed, resilient women. Considered to have an interesting personality and off beat sense of humour, her education in aesthetics and beauty stems from her curiosity into the world of glamour as art-form through her great Aunt, Wendy Martin, who won the Australia model of the year in 1956.
Emily has been the target of men's misogyny on her social media accounts. Since she has been harassed by numerous men through private messaging, on January 29, 2016 she decided to use her Twitter account to expose and share with her followers several men's efforts through vulgar language to see Emily's naked body.
She says the following regarding men's sexist behavior on her social media accounts:
"I get messages from men who say we’re ‘sluts who are asking for it’, which can get pretty overwhelming.
But I truly believe its a huge social problem reflecting the attitude many men have towards women and I want to keep trying to fight against it." "I think women need to stick together". The amount of obscene pictures of guys' penises averages to about 1-2 per day.
Her motivation to expose these men is an attempt to unify other women who also get the same treatment on social media. As she has 2.3 million followers her Instagram, her way of devoting herself to demonstrating the vulgar ways men treat women on the internet and social media challenges a behavior that is not penalized on the internet. Essentially, she is disrespected sexually.
This incident is a way of allowing Emily Sears to be able to encourage the courageous conversation of how men's sexist behavior affects women - and how it is becoming a perpetual cultural credo on many social media websites. She says the following:
"I was inspired by my friend Laura.
She had shown me that she was doing this [on Instagram], and from then on I followed her lead," She told mic in an email. "It's surprising that these men think they're anonymous in my DMs when a quick Google search of their username can put me in direct contact with their girlfriends, wives, family members, even school teachers!"
Her decision to retaliate men's harassment is also another way of discerning that Emily Sears does not have a destitute taste in men. In contrary, she's a "girl's girl," ensuring that she loves herself enough to demand the respect she deserves. Her taste in men favors the ones who are aware and conscious, not men share obscenities through private messaging.
