It's insulting to tell a woman who chooses to earn her income from her body that she's being exploited and she doesn't know it. Women are sick of being told they don't know what they're doing with their own sexuality. It's patriarchal.
So until these two glass half empty gals can come up with a suggestion as to how they think female sexuality should be represented and expressed, outside of the marriage bed, and until they learn to stop insulting everybody's human intelligence, I for one have read enough rants about the evils of popular culture.
And let's seriously start teaching our girls about the perils of being passed out p*ssies. Let's teach them that women are responsible for the decisions and choices we make, and that's something to be proud of. Let's teach them that women are not doomed to be victims of men, or even victims of other women, and that wearing a thong doesn't make it so.

Let's focus on what women can do and be, rather than on what men shouldn't do and should be.
That's an empowering rave I'd read and share.
