So many points to this video I just don’t…understand because they’re either illogical, sexist or just kinda wrong. I think the one that bothers me the most though is:
The argument that you can lose a sense of self-worth through “giving away” sex implies that you can therefore gain a sense of self-worth through abstaining from it. That’s the argument here. And its wrong. By making this argument they are basically telling women that their sense of personal worth (or whatever they’re calling it) comes from the success or failure of their relationships, which is basically dictated by sex. Wait to have sex until you feel a certain way (whichever this may be) and We Guarantee You’ll be Happier! Smarter! Wiser! (or your money back!).
Then there’s the whole sexist part where there is a complete lack of discussion on how the man (you know … 50% of the relationship) also needs to abstain from sex. But that wouldn’t fit into the campaign urging women to “take back the power! (of the pussy)”. If you look at sex as a domination game … men vs women instead of a collaborative things, you’ll lose every time regardless of how many men you turn down.
And my vagina is not a commodity.
Who is someone to tell me how my relationships should go? I think this video is very sexist and to be honest it kinda down plays men also. What I got from this is, you should pussy whip your man, because if he’s not getting sex, he’ll do anything (like for example, be a good boyfriend) because I have the power of denying him sex. What the hell. No, i expect my boyfriend to be a loving, caring, wonderful human being and still fuck me on a regular basis, and vise versa. Sex is not a tool to be used, sex is whatever you and your partner decide it is. Don’t downplay someone else’s decision. Don’t tell women it’s in their best interest to use sex as a power tool against men. Stick to your beliefs, that’s fine, but stick up for yourself, don’t try and drag everyone else down to that level so you don’t have to explain yourself. Good lord, am I tired of trying to stand up for myself. It’s hard, all this thinking and having an opinion and trying to be a strong women. Damn
