Oh god, yes. Even "comprehensive sex ed" is often anything but. There's often little to nothing about consent and NOTHING about pleasure.

Yeah, that's why it's a pipe dream. Although a surprising number of responses are people apparently got this stuff in school? I had an entire semester long health class that did not include any of these things, so I am impressed.

My personal pipe dream: schools have "relationship ed" as well as sex ed. Topics include:

It would be terrible, but I'd totally read it.

As a woman who has never ejaculated, bleeding on someone is my closest equivalent to coming all over someone's face. And the taboo makes it extra hot.

Yes to all of this. I said something similar upthread before I read your comment.

Some of my somewhat disjointed thoughts, as a lady who identified as a feminist since I knew what it meant and then stopped a few years ago without changing any of my actual politics:

In my opinion, bloody, bloody period sex is the only good part about having a period.

No matter how misogynistic Tina Fey gets, feminists will always defend her. Never been a fan of T Swift but good for her for speaking up.

There are lots of people who never cheat on their partners. And there are people I've known who I would definitely describe as passionate. I don't see how either of those descriptors are fake.

All the people in the comments talking about how their husbands/boyfriends/friends fit the list perfectly suggest otherwise.

Most of these are just decent human qualities. Who wants to date an impolite, unkind, inconsiderate person? She could have made the list a lot shorter by just putting "nice person."

If you pay attention to the sex workers rights movement and not just the stuff mainstream blogs like Jez decide to print, you'll find that's not true.

You've never been a sex worker, have you?

Because prostitutes are disgusting and it's very important that you don't have to be associated with them in anyway.

That's bad? She always wanted to be a writer, she used her experience stripping to get there, and she's done plenty since entirely unrelated to stripping.

"Hey, stigmatized group! I'm not one of you but I have just as much authority on your experience as you do! I'm a FEMINIST!"

I'm not saying all sex work is good. I am saying that feminist theory is fine and occasionally valuable but your comments still come off as shitty and condescending.

You've invoked one of my least favorite arguments. Least favorite because well duh, nothing happens in a vacuum. Neither do your opinions. We live in a society that tells us:
