Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy.
We stand up for the rights of women as a sex-class. Women have a right to bodily autonomy and to set their own boundaries and have them respected. We resist efforts to limit women's reproductive autonomy. We condemn the men who exploit and abuse women in prostitution and pornography. We oppose all harms and forms of exploitation of women and girls, regardless of whether or not they're sold as "choice" or re-framed as "empowering." We oppose the movement to redefine "women" in a way that erases the realities of our lives and makes organizing for our liberation as a sex-class impossible.
"In the radical feminist view, the new feminism is not just the revival of a serious political movement for social equality. It is the second wave of the most important revolution in history. Its aim: the overthrow of the oldest, most rigid class/caste system in existence, the class system based on sex – a system consolidated over thousands of years, lending the archetypal male and female roles an undeserved legitimacy and seeming permanence." –Shulamith Firestone, The Dialectic of Sex
It's crazy the types of comments she's getting, but she did open that door by asking if she was the one doing something wrong. Men in Reddit seem to jump at the opportunity to get a free pass to talk shit about women without repercussions.
This might be an unpopular take on this post, but, one thing I haven't seen here or the comments in the post is that, stereotypically, men, regardless of porn addiction, tend to get bored of having sex with the same person. They swear they have a sexual drive higher than the moon, but the reality is, they want to have as much sex as possible with as many women as possible, not sex with the same woman. Ask yourselves why gay men, especially if they're young, tend to go through so many sexual partners in the blink of an eye... they're men and they're on the same page that it's about quantity, not quality, because the fun for them is on the variety of conquests. It's not until men's sexual drive starts waning that they decide quality (and not just sexual, but in other aspects of a relationship) is suddenly important and, in the case of the woman posting this, as was suggested in multiple comments, the woman will be accused that "she's just a sex addict," and that something's wrong with her if "she wants sex more than any of her male partners."
Another thing, it's my understanding that women in their 30s and 40s are at the height of their sexual energy, while men peak in their late 20s. If she's dating her age group, well.... 🤷♀️ It's either that or she is having real shit luck with not finding someone who is sexually compatible with her.
