“We need to sex up your wardrobe. What do you mean you’re not comfortable wearing that? Oh honey, don’t be such a prude, all the girls are doing it and you want to be successful don’t you? No one’s going to watch someone that dresses like their grandma.”

I get sick and tired of so called leftists equating exploitation to sexual liberation.

    That’s not prudish that is reasonable. Prudishness is when people think less of people who enjoy sexualising themselves or demand that perfectly harmless behaviours be ‘kept behind closed doors’ and so on.

    Edit: to be concrete if you find sex as a hobby more controversial than carpentry you might want to examine why. Or if you complain about ‘public displays of affection’ but think that people whinging about punks playing street music are frustrating boomers maybe you’re confusing your own preferences with moral truths.

    But sexual liberation is for everyone, including people that want as little sex as possible. It’s about a world where we respect each other, and recognise that what people do or don’t do doesn’t suddenly become a huge fucking deal because it relates to sex and sexuality. Wanting to avoid sexual attention, or not caring one way or the other, is just as valid as wanting to center your whole damn life about it.

    We’re all just food for worms.
