First I would like to say Dear Dr. A, I’m sorry if this isn’t technically appropriate, if you think I need to I will take it down later.
Sex. That’s right. Sex. How is sex related to politics? It’s not, really. This is more on feminism. Just to warn you, I’m probably going to start another category dedicated to feminism. Because there’s a lot to say on the subject. But anyways, back to sex.
Sex is considered some sort of strange status, opinions on the matter differ from person to person. For example, in my sophomore year I was talking with a friend and somehow it came up that at that time, I hadn’t had sex. Her response? ‘Wow, that’s awesome, I’m proud of you.’ Which was, truly not the response I was looking for considering that just a few days previous we had been talking about how she basically wanted to get pregnant, and was surprised that she already hadn’t.
Depending on age and gender and quite a few other factors, everyone has a different response to finding out whether or not you are a virgin. From getting called a prude to a slut or a whore, the reaction never seems to be very fair, towards men as well, but mainly women.
My opinion? Why the hell does it matter?? What’s the difference to you? What I do and whom I do it with has no effect on your life whatsoever, so why does everyone feel as though it’s their right to comment on it? It’s ridiculous!
The idea of purity is pretty much long gone in today’s society, you know, the whole staying a virgin until marriage type thing (which, by the way, when done in today’s society has had a few terrible effects on people, check it out here)
And yet there is no time that everyone agrees is alright. Nobody really cares, if you were, or matter of fact are, happy with your sex life or lack there of.
Especially for women. There is no way for a woman to win in today’s society. It is unfair for men as well, considering that they tend to be not considered men until they have sex, but at least after that point they stop getting crap for it. Women get crap for their sex lives from their teenage years to retirement. How is that okay? For example, there’s this tweet from the meninist account saying that there are two reasons for being single. Either you suck too much dick or you don’t suck enough. Tell me, how much dick sucking is enough?
The point is, both women and men are unfairly and pointlessly judged over their own private and personal life decisions and this aspect of society needs to change.
