Hawk Tuah Girl, Mixed Weight Relationships and The Rise In Dehumanising Women Online

Description
It seems as though its never been worse to be a woman participating in the discourse. The Hawk Tuah girl has used her b*****b technique to become a star; cashing in on the viral moment with a merch line, a manager and a possible documentary. But while she makes bank, the alt right have commodified her into a figurehead - once again proclaiming any woman with blonde hair and big t**s as their own.
