Sex Positive Feminism

There is a difference between someone who provides security and administration for well-paid escorts and someone who takes advantage of vulnerable women in order to profit off of their misery. In general, most people think of the latter when they are talking about a 'pimp'.

 

What purpose do they serve?

 

Susie Bright or Susie Sexpert is a lesbian identified bisexual. She's atheist, so I think you might have her confused with Annie Sprinkle who is into Eastern spiritual bullshit. Susie writes about her sexual exploits. She considers herself a strong feminist.

 

A pimps purpose is to exploit women for their personal gain, while trying to convince the women that they are being take care of, simply by bailing them out of jail (when in fact they are much safer in a jail cell than on the street or in front of their pimp's fist).

Edit: man that sentence is a mess.

 

Yeah pimps are enslavers, nothing more.

Cherea why aren't you a feminist?

 

Anyone who believes that men and women deserve equal rights is a feminist, whether they apply the label to themselves or not.

 

You should ask the hookers who say they'd rather have one. Basically all I know about the subject comes from Freakonomics.

I'm sorry, shows my ignorance about her. I'm skeptical about self-described sexperts, being more in line with "just fucking" swingers (if only they weren't so bigotted). But Susie is on my list for further study, and I thank you for that.

For two reasons: One, because of the "equality as long as it's convenient" phenomenon, and, two, because it is in line with leftist politics (environmentalism, welfare, regulation, taxes) that I despise.

Basically, I side with Karen Straughan's view on the matter.

Edit: Just thought of another reason, but it is definitely a secondary one: I am not sold on the "cultural" argument. In other words, gender is purely a cultural whim devoid of any biological grounds.

 

It's not just a coincidence that men are considered studs for sleeping around, and women are deemed as sluts.

I shouldn't have to spell it out, but mostly(outside of a committed relationship), it is the women that gives herself up to the man during sex... not the other way around. It is the woman that gets objectified and who is usually the seducee.

It's the price women pay for having the upper stake in the dating game!

 

So not being an asshole makes you a feminist?

 

What are you talking about? What's wrong with being objectified? Men do it to other men all the time? Women do it to men too. Ever heard of male strippers?
Women seduce men into sex also. And since when do women have the upper stake in the dating game?

 

not exactly - I don't have casual sex nor am I interested in polyamory for myself - but like other things I am pro-choice, just because I don't want to do it does not give me any reason or permission to interfere with others. So I include myself as a sex positive feminist

 

That's quite interesting!

You're welcome. I don't get what you mean in the previous sentence.

Good point. Feminism seems to be a water carrier for the left.

Also, equality as long as it's convenient is an especially good point. Like with the draft, or who pays on dinner dates, right?

Me neither. Wear skirts and makeup comes very naturally to me. I find it hard to conceive of that as a cultural construct.

 

Socialism with panties!

 

This just doesn't even make sense to me the more I think about it. Why is it necc. anyone giving themselves up for the other person? I don't know... I personally, well, I'm not maybe the best example because I have been more assertive/dominant in the past but I really don't see myself as ever having been "seduced" and I don't know... I just don't see it as one or the other.

All I can say is... your other thread? You know the one today... where you're bitching that you're so attractive but women won't sleep with you? If this is the type of attitude you have towards women- this combined w the other thread- well, let's just say... I think I may see your problem.
