Did anyone catch that
Sex: The Revolution show on vh1 this week? Anyway if you didn't they'll replay it like a million times so be sure to catch it then. Its a pretty interesting show about how American sexuality evolved over the decades, I think they started from the 1950s when everyone was repressed, and thinking and talking about sex was so taboo due to the overzealous religious cloud engulfing people. Then they talk about how the Pill liberated women to fuck whomever they wanted and how Swingers came about since adults were so repressed they finally had carte blanche to try everything they ever wanted in the 70s, then AIDS and herpes came and ruined everyone's party in the 80s! Its so weird to me to think that there was a time where the concept of "safe sex" didn't exist O.O People weren't worried about STDs or getting pregnant b/c of the pill.
They also discussed the rise of Playboy, Hustler and Penthouse, and how they lead to women being seen as objects and how the sex revolution although it had some positive things for women, that being acknowledging they had sexual desires and going out there and having pleasure, it also lead to men using their sexuality in a negative manner (as we see a lot now in advertising and crap like Girls Gone Wild).
The whole thing made me think that for every Feminist there's a
Female Chauvinist Pig, that being women who engage in the negative use of female sexuality FOR the pleasure of men and not for their own. I mean we may all want women to be respected, but there's also women making it hard for men to see us as more than objects because they're idiots and have been brainwashed to think they need to look like "sluts" in order to be attractive. We're never going to be able to achieve true feminism while the Female Chauvinist Pig exists D: Women are bringing themselves down. And its not just the women who show off their bodies, to me I think its also the women who willfully engage in religions that basically take away their rights and choices.
I often wonder what the world would be like if it were women who held the literacy key and wrote the texts to many religions that hold the foundation to so many modern day societies. Would men have been written as the inferior ones?
The whole thing is kind of depressing and I find myself wondering how I would raise a daughter in this world and teach her to respect herself and not succumb to doing things for a man's gain rather than her own. But also its about teaching sons to respect women, not to easily throw around derogatory language with regards to women.
The pendulum always swings back the other way, so now our culture celebrates raunch maybe it'll eventually find a balance where self respect is embraced and girls don't feel the need to degrade themselves. There's a difference b/t owning your sexuality and just showing flesh for guys to think your worthy.
Eventually we need to come to a medium b/t the virgin and the whore D:
And randomly those ladies who post on jezebel worshipping at the altar of the vibrator in regards to using it while having sex with a man, if they were true feminists they'd tell their men how to hit it right so they wouldn't need electronics in the first place! hahaa. Ugh honestly I think electronics make you lose a connection with your body and your senses, if you tell your guy what you need he'll do it and you two can have a great sex life together with mutual pleasure, you know its like demand satisfaction.
Often times I think women feel they need to just please men in the sex and don't bother with their own pleasure :/ This is what Cosmopolitan does for you! How often does that mag ever cover "things to tell your guy to do to you to make you achieve the BIG O!" all their headlines are how to please him, its so disgusting ugh D: Dave Chapelle said it best, all your guy wants is for to give him oral and play with his balls LMAO you don't need a magazine to tell you this in 200 different ways! haha
