I'm so tired of hearing women being judged more for indulging in their sexuality. I am a woman, but I think the whole idea of being whore for liking sex seems foreign to me. I certainly hear it all the time now, especially on this website, and it surprises me that people still impose double standards to that degree.
I feel like if I subscribe to the fact that I must be more chaste than men then I'm allowing the world to hate women. But if I don't, I can't keep a man when I want to because I've been labeled a "whore." I love sex and I have a sex drive equal to any man's and I'm tired of having to hide it because it might offend someone. I'm sick of hearing about how women don't want sex. I do want sex and I'm not a whore for saying that. It's enough to make me want to swear off men because if I'm with them I'm expected to live by their flawed rules about when I can and can't want it.
But what control does any individual have to change these norms?
