Look, I’m right there with you in that people incorrectly using “and I” instead of “and me” is wayyy more irritating than when it’s the other way around.

It’s “and I” in the subjective. So, she’s using it correctly here. She is missing a verb, so that can bother you, though.
the women who thought her bodily autonomy should be more important than that is a stupid bitch, not a victim.
It’s hard to get the legal system to treat rape like rape when the victim willingly went on a date or even just went to the same party as her rapist. When it comes to withdrawing consent after initially giving it, police officers (and prosecutors, and judges and juries, though the chances of such a case getting far…
I can’t even follow nor make the remotest bit of sense out of that word slop. But I know none of its meaning is good.
It looks like the lady in the article thinks she is feminist because she eschews men. Feminism is NOT about hating or rejecting men!!! It’s about giving women choices regarding their life, career, sexuality, etc. Like you said, having the choice is an example of feminism working. Whether you choose chastity or not is…
Being a sex advocate does not mean forcing yourself to try sex position ever.
I mean...I would probably be weirdly obsessed with sex if I still hadn’t done it by my 30s, so I can’t blame her there, lol.
I’ll say it out loud: Ziffy needs to get laid.
Nevermind responding to the bait of these whataboutery-derailey trolls— “Why won’t you feminazis stop defending Islam??” They’re EVERYwhere lately.
Normalizing virginity is one thing, setting up a false dichotomy between the productive happy virgin and the sex-obsessed, chronically worried slut is another. The reason why many feminists lean toward normalizing the having of sex rather than the abstaining from it is because women have hundreds of years of…
She’s a sex advocate so she felt pressure from herself (not society) to try a variety of sexual things so that she can talk about them as a sex advocate.
Choosing to not have sex can be feminist. Choosing something called “chastity” that makes a positive value judgement of not having sex (for women, usually, and coming with a concomitant set of negative judgements of the unchaste) ain’t feminist.
So you’re bringing up two very different articles as if they are the same, as well as tossing off responses to arguments I didn’t make, while not even addressing the very well-explained reasons why some people take issue with what this woman is saying? AND you throw in some victim and slut shaming to boot?
This commenter has been setting up strawmen all damn day and when s/he gets tired of that or cornered, s/he picks up the goalposts and moves them all the fuck over the field.
Unless I missed something, Amber Rose did not write an essay about how having a threesome was a feminist choice.
If a Muslim woman said that wearing hijab was why she has integrity (e.g., compared with other women who don’t) and is basically key to real feminism, I think people would be annoyed about that too.
I...didn’t actually comment on Amber Rose. I only wanted you to have the full picture of who this poor, snarked-upon virgin really is. Also: Who made the point that society is so accepting of everyone’s sexual choices? You’ve added a lot to my simply copy and paste.
Did you read her article or any of the comments before commenting? There’s nothing wrong or unfeminist with her or you or anyone choosing to abstinent. It is wrong of her to claim her way is THE feminist choice and it is wrong of her to claim moral superiority by claiming her choice as “sexual integrity” as if…
