The term is pro-life. You have plenty of choices that you can make that will prevent pregnancies. But I don't want to turn this into an abortion thread. So I will leave it at that.
The term here is pro-abortion... not pro-choice. so a woman protecting the life of a child is an 'anti-sex shamer'??? Wow... that is the kind of bat shit crazy bullshit that gets 'feminists' the 'embarrassing' label. You can't stand the fact that sane women disagree with murdering children.
Yes, feminists today are most certainly embarrassing themselves. No wonder she wouldn't accept the label. She got where she is today on her own merits and hard work. Not because some feminist shouted sexism a few decades ago.
So back when women were kept out of the workforce and there were no women CEO's women didn't work hard? Of course they did, and of course the feminist movement changed oppressive practices in this country and enabled women to compete on a more level playing field (though of course it has still not been completely leveled).
I see you didn't read your own article. The reason i call her anti-sex is because of statements like these:
I believe that casual sex is destructive, not empowering
I also generally shy away from celebrations of meaningless vulgarity, which, sadly, seems to be the leading theme in both Moran’s book and in the gigantic, flaming, multi-car pileup that is modern-day feminism. In “How to Be a Woman,” it’s OK to be a “slag” or a “slut,” as long as we’re “simply being honest about who we really are.” In interviews, Moran expresses approval for the recent rash of mortifying “Slut Walks,” in which young women strut down the street in ill-fitting, body-baring “clothing” in order to prove that they are empowered, not sexual objects. Which totally makes sense, if you’re crazy.
When it comes down to it, whether addressing abortion, sex, or any otherwise self-indulgent behavior, the message of “How to be a Woman” is this: “If it feels good, do it.”
It’s quite telling that one of Moran’s “heroes,” the recipient of several glowing pages in “How to Be a Woman,” is the pop singer Lady Gaga. If you listen to Moran, Lady Gaga is a feminine hero for our time, breaking boundaries, creating new social spaces, clearing the way for young people to cast off the shackles of oppression. Of course, if you’re really paying attention, you’ll notice that Lady Gaga is an updated Madonna clone in a meat dress, desperate to shock, mistaking vulgarity for creativity: the musical equivalent of an old, dying system’s last gasp.
No wonder certain feminists are getting so wound up. They have reason to be worried. Something new is out there—conservatism, decorum, chastity, and respect are downright radical these days—but it’s not poor Gaga.
