[Adanu]

This is less feminism and more simply sexualized outfits get sexualized.

I have only one question about this article.



Why?!

[JonnyJerny]

I am a feminist because I am whipped as f*ck.

[Burt]

Thanks for the PM.

Screw it. If a woman wants to dress to catch the eyes of men, why is anyone beefing about it?

I say, go for it. But understand that all actions have consequences, and if getting attention turns to negative attention you don't like, modify, but don't bitch because everyone doesn't see it your way.

hey if she doesn't want to be called a slut she shouldn't be wearing that that is what I think

a lock that is opened by many keys is a faulty lock while a key that opens many locks is master key~~~

What a bunch of sexist crap.

Seriously.

The whole slut/stud dichotomy (women who have multiple partners, or who even appear to want sex are "bad" while men who have multiple partners are "good") is a bunch of sexist male crap developed ages ago to help men control who women had babies with. The idea that women should be fighting to keep men out is a sexist philosophy developed by men to help them ensure the babies women have belong to that man. Well, we have DNA testing now, so get over it.

In that vein, I have news for you. Women are not "locks", they are human beings and just because a woman likes sex, or even looks like she likes sex, or dresses provocatively, does not make her "faulty."

In addition, your dick is not a key, its just a dick, and a dick that gets around a lot is not a master key, its just a dick that gets around a lot.

The slut/stud dichotomy is sexist bullsh*t at its finest.

hey it is what it is I don't make the rules

[Mikayla]

Yes, you do. You are part of society. So while you only get 1 of about 7 billion votes, you definitely help make the rules. And when you post sexist crap, you are making that vote public.

[JonnyJerny]

but I am pro choice meaning I am not sexist that is what I believe

[Mikayla]

What you are in your mind and what you are as defined by your actions (such as forum posts) can be wildly different things. When you support the slut/stud dichotomy, that is sexist. Being pro-choice is (arguably) not sexist. Can a sexist and non-sexist attitude exist in one person? Of course.

Simply being pro-choice and/or subjectively believing you are not sexist doesn't insulate you from having to think about the things you say, do or write, or armor you against accusations of sexism if what you write is sexist.

[JonnyJerny]

Studies show that 28.5% of women believe their clitoris is a Muslim we must protect them from these dangers sexism is a necessary evil to protect the sanctity of our women

[FoamBats4All]

Damnit, Jern, your trolling was decent until that last post.

[JonnyJerny]

What can I say she's putting me on the spot
