The demonization of female sexuality..by ~rationalhub

You wouldn’t believe how much of this crap I get daily, sick of it really. Everything is ALWAYS the women's fault.

Although I don't disagree with you persay, you also have to consider that it's nearly impossible to get a woman convicted of rape.
Meanwhile, it can ruin a man's life.
There are downsides for both genders, and it pisses me off when people don't acknowledge the problems on both sides.

I was raised with this worldview. My family was super-conservative (no TV, ankle-length skirts, braids to my waist type of conservative) and I was taught that men are only interested in sex with me. I had to hide my body carefully under baggy clothes or I might cause them to sin. I wasn't supposed to even date because I might be tempted to give into his predatory desires and, once he had deflowered me, he would leave me because he had gotten all he wanted. In addition, losing my virginity would mean that I would have less value to a future husband because "part of me would be missing."

Of course this gave me a horribly skewed idea of men and I felt agonizingly guilty when I even kissed my first boyfriend, much less let him touch me or anything else. I was mortified by my own body. To top it all, I was left in bewildered denial of my sexuality (I'm a lesbian) because I thought my lack of attraction to men was simply an indicator of how holy I was. Finding my boyfriend's sexual interest in me disgusting was a GOOD thing to my mind. All of this cognitive dissonance was very harmful and, in retrospect, completely absurd!

I just want to add some support to what you're saying. These sorts of mindsets aren't just offensive... they are measurably HARMFUL to women like me. I'm so glad that I've been freed from that oppressive mindset and I can say I am so much more comfortable with myself now!

I vote for more openly sexual women, and to please wear some sort of sign, it would be so much easier to get some booty, without the dangers of being called a rapist or a sex maniac.

Good on you, that view is as insulting to women as it is to men and it needs to die and go away. I especially can't stand hearing it from so called "feminists" that hurt the movement every day by claiming the same title as women who actually understand what it means to fight for equal rights and opportunities.

I've always seen women blaming the men, and then women being the ones causing the problem.

This is what i see, but i see the men blame the women, who blame the men, etc... everyones just so up there own arse`s these days.
