    sex-positive feminism

    are American feminists more libertarian about sex than Swedish or English ones?

    since both those places have passed draconian anti prostitution laws without, presumably, a big contribution from the christianist right.

    I would say yes, although they might be learning their lesson.

    This is another area of personal amusement. The very men who whine about the lack of good women in a world full of sluts are the ones whining at me to "put myself out there". Well, if I put myself out there, I wouldn't be a good woman anymore, would I. My value is in direct proportion to my chastity, the very quality I'm criticized for.

    The irony is that I'm a mother. What do they think, that I did it once several years ago?
