The issue that I wanted to discuss through this series is as the title states, The Privilege to Ignore. Meaning that some groups of people, especially straight, white, cisgender men, can ignore these issues all together and don't have to take them seriously if they decide not to. This subject is extremely broad and there are so many issues that fall into this category that it would be impossible to address every issue, so I decided to only focus on four of them; Police Brutality Against People of Colour (the hands), Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (the bust), The Sexualization and Objectification of the Female Form (Upper Torso), and the Assault on Women's Bodies both Physically and Politically (Lower Torso).
