CONFESSIONS OF VERONICA FRANCO

I confess I became a courtesan.

Traded yearning for power, welcomed many rather than be owned by one. I confess

I embraced a whore's freedom over a wife's obedience.

You, all of you...who hunger for what I give but cannot

bear to see such power in a woman...you call God's greatest gift...

ourselves...our yearning, our need to love, you call it filth...

and sin and heresy...

I do not repent my life.

A women that knows what she wants and is not ashamed of it.

I believe there is nothing wrong about that

So a Whore and a Slut are the same as an Asshole and a Prick? I don't agree. While an asshole or a prick is doing something mean or at least annoying, whores and sluts are giving other people orgasms.  What is mean or annoying about that? Answer: nothing. But since women who provide sexual pleasure and make other people feel good lose value in this culture. That IS sexism in its purest form. The Sex Worker Rights Movement is NOT about validation. It IS about safety and human rights.

I just love a slut. Whores are pretty high on my list too. The high Fun to BS ratio is my favorite part. Get your freak on.

@SheikhTaqiyyameister And how is this charming story about rape and Shariah Law related to my statement about women's sexual behavior and the right to claim sluttiness as a human virtue?

@garbled 'How bankrupt was the notion that men somehow coerced female sexual behaviors?'

Not bankrupt yet.

In 2006, a Saudi 19-year-old (the "Girl from Qatif") met a high school friend in his car to retrieve a picture of herself from him. Two men carjacked them at knife point, drove them to a parking lot, and called 5 of their friends who gang raped them both. She reported it, so the Saudis sentenced her to 200 lashes and six months in prison for being alone with a man she wasn't married to.

No, two of them sound like fun.

@garbledstoic According to neo-feminists, the new sluttiness is an attempt by women to reclaim their whorishness from a male society who had in the past collectively imposed their sex fantasies on women. We are told that today the forced sluttiness of a male-dominated society has been replaced by a women's right to express sluttiness as part of her own personal power. Well, what crap. How bankrupt was the notion that men somehow coerced female sexual behaviors?

[garbledstoic]

The topic of post-feminist sluttiness is one of my favorites. The mostly naked super-made up harlot look, booty shaking, and camel toe haunts youtube in a hormonal fury of ripe young foxiness unleashed. Feminists can't blame this crap on the oppressive influence of men objectifying women as they had in the past, because now it's women sexualizing themselves. Feminists try to rationalize sluttiness away as some kind of male objectificaiton of women, but face it, even women don't buy that one.

promiscuous is promiscuous.... you are cheap and easy nonetheless//

[thepotatovagina]

no matter how much social engineering you do you'll never make men like sluts. it is hardwired into our brains to not to. we know the child a woman has inside her is more likely ours if she isn't a slut than if she is. which is not to say sluts serve no purpose! i love dropping a load down a slut as much as the next man, but that's where our relationship with them end. brainwashing guys to value sluts as they do ladies is as much an uphill battle as convincing us shit smells better than flowers

[64LMAO]

all women are this way one way or another
