Your body is not your own.
Your life is not your own.
I know my Christian crew is ready to jump in about the second sentence, but I’m not referring to scripture here. I am referring to everything women seem to do being the business of everyone else.
It is one thing for a woman to be transparent. We SHOULD feel comfortable enough to talk casually about what we like, dislike, how frequent, etc. without the constant slut shaming, belittling, and reminders of impending reputational doom. God forbid you are known for liking sex as a single woman.
After all, we should be sitting around waiting for mister right to come and sweep us off our feet. But Mr. Right being a Mr will more than likely have had several sexual conquests that he will never have to answer to society for.
Queen I love you dearly! Bolded is mine.
