I didn't block anyone; I think trollish comments only reflect on the commenter.
It seems like some of their comments about (the way they perceive) sex-positive feminists were very... well, I think they basically called us sluts. They talked about us dressing all skanky and giving it up to any man who asked. And thus ruining things for the good girls. Slut-shaming: now feminist?
Part of my trouble holding my own in the brouhaha (and why I maybe shouldn't have yapped so much, but I was having too much fun) is that I haven't constructed a full-fledged feminist ideology out of my love of the wiener. I identify as sex-positive because I believe that viewing female sexual desire as equally important to men's matters; but I would never say that sexiness is feminism.
(Possible language problem: when I say "sexiness," I mean "degree of public and aggressive sexuality," not "possession of a sweet hoochie rear." I think that sometimes this wasn't clear.)
I'm not fighting for my right to fuck; I'm fighting for my right to fuck the way I want, to not fuck when I don't want, and to not be judged for how I fuck.
Also, just for laughs, this comment on Twisty's blog: I really don’t see how pleasing men is exerting my sexual liberation. I always thought that withholding sex from all piggish men until they got a clue was a better idea. So I surround myself with lots of fun self pleasuring tools and gay porn (the only porn that objectifies men too!). I call myself a masturbation-positive Feminist, because I really can’t be assed to go through all the trouble to find a man that cares about my sexual and emotional needs before or in conjunction with his own, so I resort to my hand.
I'm not saying this woman speaks for everyone, and if masturbation is what works for her than more power to her, but... uh... I think I detect some slight subtle misandry issues. Between the lines.
