I was recently shamed for talking about sex

22. "...those men... attack our very womanhood, indeed our personhood." Very true, and very sad.

Not unlike the knee-jerk hatred and disgust directed at gay men, this form of "shaming" seems to come from men (or overgrown boys, perhaps) who aren't very happy or secure with themselves. In my view, they need to chill the fuck out and realize that, yes, they can be a valid and fully human (and fully sexual) person without denigrating others.

Not to mention that the "sex-positive"/"sex-negative" thing is a classic false dichotomy. But that's a complex enough subject for a whole 'nother thread.

As usual, you explain things very well, and provide a good deal of food for thought.
