RE: Is This Empowerment, Or Objectification?

[sean-king]

Please read my comments and posts more carefully. I tire of responding to criticisms that simply are invalid reflections of my position, and of slaying straw men. I NEVER accused @stellabelle of shaming women about their sexuality. Rather, I accused men, religion and traditional feminists (as opposed to more modern "sex positive" feminists) of doing so.

And, I'm not arguing. Rather, I was simply setting the record straight by responding to @stellabelle's straw man accusations that I "deny her creativity and intellectual capacities" and that my arguments assume that "all men" and "all women" are the same and that I "discount women's intellectual achievements.". To the extent that she really believes those things to be my position, we definitely are not "pretty much all on the same page."

To date, I've not heard you say that you support and endorse women doing that (if that's what strikes their fancy), and that you oppose efforts to silence or prevent them from doing so. If you were to make such a statement, then you and I would be in complete agreement.

Read this carefully, and it still seems like you are inferring that @stellabelle shames or shuns women's sexuality. Nor did she ever explicitly say that she feels that way.

To an outside perspective, this comes off as argumentative. (Trying to offer constructive input)
