A Rant: Sexual and Gender Bias - ANWJ repost
|
|
I'm republishing some of my older blogs from when I was writing A Nightcap with Jyl. This is one of them. Oh, and not all of them are sexy porn stories. Some of them are thoughts about sexuality. Like this one.
Miss Holiday no longer blogs and her blog is no longer up. She is missed.
I know I am not the first woman to say this but... I am soooooooo sick of gender bias. I realize there are some things women will not be able to (or want to) do that men can. That said, it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be treated like equals on a sexual basis.
Miss Holiday told a story the other day about how she broke up with a guy who said she wasn’t marriage material because she was too wild sexually. (The slap in the face was when he came to her family residence in the Hamptons to announce his engagement personally. She’s better off without him. I’m sure he thought he was being considerate, but I think he was an asshole).
Yet it’s these same guys who end up cheating on their Virgin Mary good girl wives with wild women. This too is a form of gender bias based on common religious morality. Judeo-Christianity and Islam both preach that a woman is to be some sort of undefiled pure vessel to hold the seed of a man to birth his progeny. And apparently undefiled pure vessels aren’t allowed to get freaky with their husbands.
I was watching Damon Wayans’ standup routine on Comedy Central the other night and he talked about this same thing. He said men don’t want to marry freaky women. They want their wives to be sweet and pure. Why couldn’t he have followed up with saying, “we are so fucking wrong about this. We should be glad our women want to fuck us like monkeys and want to be kinky.” That way they wouldn’t have to go out and look for strange (but many would anyway).
I’m tired of it being okay of a man given accolades for having many conquests but a woman being treated lowly for enjoy copious amounts of sex with many different partners. Why can’t feminists start screaming about this rather than us being on the front lines in a war. I don’t want to be drafted. I don’t want to go to war. I want to be treated equally in the sexual war. I want the media to say I’m not bad for enjoying sex, enjoying porn and enjoying masturbating. If our media was truly liberal, wouldn’t the sexual mores be broken down so much more than they are?
Trixie was talking about gender bias at length in a recent post. Like her, I’m tired of the conservative male dominated media and entertainment world making fun of women. Specifically fat women, hairy women, menstruating women, women who have PMS, flat chested women, well endowed women, women’s vaginal size, women who like to have sex, women who are lesbians, women who are pregnant, women who are just being women. For fuck’s sake you bastards, why can’t you just let us be women? Are you so intimidated by women, you feel the need to joke about everything that is natural to us? Why is it fun to make fun of these things?
And when is it going to change?

Personally I'm GRATEFUL to be married to a wild, freaky woman! And I'd appreciate it just as much if I was married to you!

never gonna change.
and being a man advocating for what you said above attracts even more bashing.
BOTH FROM MEN AND WOMEN, how sick is that?

Incontrovertible, well written, and shaming us all ...
What is there more to say?
Perhaps that owing to the socio-sexual mechanisms that you describe, one doesn't encounter that many wild women - at least I don't. (Female Wildness is not appreciated as the gift to MANkind that it is ...)The greater is the pleasure when one does happen to stumble upon one and she takes an interest ..
