Sex-Positive Feminism

[DallasApple]

I agree. I see feminism as opening a lot of doors for respected participatory conversation between men and women, as well as between men and other men. I don't know how many men opened up about how much they relish being there for their babies at home, fixing dinner for the family, or supporting their wives' careers....before Second Wave feminism that is.

Nowadays, it's becoming more typical to see dads with their kids at the mall or the grocery store with no woman in sight. They're attentive and encouraging, and it's a wonderful sight to see. Not only do the kids seem happy, but they're happy.

It opens the door..lets hope everyone walks through.

Yes, I'm sex positive. Porn, sex work, BDSM, stripping, etc. are all fine with me. I don't think those things will ever go away, so I support legalizing them, providing protections for sex workers and encourage them to organize their businesses around democratic principles. There's a lot of problems with the mainstream sex industry, but there's stuff like queer porn that's making a positive change.

I don't really care what radical feminists have to say about this subject because I tend to loathe radical feminism. They have an atrocious history of hatred and disrespect towards trans people (Janice Raymond is one of the biggest reasons why trans people can't get our medical needs covered by insurance) as well as marginalizing people of color along with misandry, so I see little about that ideology that's respectable.
