I have never been very deep into feminism, but there's is something that will follow me to hell: sex.
Around ten thousand years of civilization and women are still subjected to sexual repression, not to mention objectification.
In the past, women were expected to remain virginal until marriage because 1) they were property to their fathers and as such they couldn't be used until properly sold to another man and 2) heirs, the sole purpose of a wife was to provide heirs, so if she was with many men, her husband couldn't be sure that the boy was his.
But today women aren't supposed to be property anymore and there are paternity tests, so what's their excuse to sexually repress women?
I remember in Girl, Interrupted Susanna says that, to be considered promiscuous, a guy and a girl would require very different amounts of sex partners, and that was in the past century. If a sex tape leaks out, the girl is shamed and it actually reduces her working opportunities but absolutely nothing happens to the guy. If you give sex in exchange for something, everybody will call you a slut, but you won't see anyone calling the man a pimp.
I am a very sexual person and I detest commitment, so I have indiscriminate sex with whoever I like, and although I love women, I was cursed to like men too. So I have been called a slut, promiscuous and even my own mother has told me I have so little self-esteem that I have to resort to sex to elevate my self worth.
What the actual fuck?
I don't need sex to "feel better about myself", would you tell that to a man? No. Men are allowed to have as much sex as they want, to be as loud as they want, but not us. Women have to enclose their sexuality and live as if they were nuns but still expected to be slutty demons on the bed.
Society is disgusting. And what I detest the most is that a lot of women think this too, my own mother among them, they will chastise younger girls for having sexual curiosity, but pay no mind to boys.
I can't live with this. Women have sexual desires. Women like quick fucks, women need orgasms too, women like toys, games, multiple partners, the thrill of the new, women are human beings not sexual dolls.
I guess this is why I'm obsessed with the Madonna-Whore Complex.
And the most outrageous part is that this isn't anywhere near changing, more centuries will come and go and women will still be expected to be either Madonnas or Whores, with no middle ground.
