Here is my reasoning:
I am a woman. I believe women should have rights that are equal to men’s rights. I believe women should be paid the same for the same job. I believe women should be able to define their own lives, decide what activities they want to engage in. I believe women should have the right to control what happens to their bodies and be free to make choices related to their reproductive health. I believe women should be able to freely choose how they approach their own sexuality. A woman can be anything she desires. She can be a respectable human while also being a nude model. She can submit to men sexually while also ruling the boardroom with them as an equal. Just as men make their own choices, so should women. Whether those decisions are to abstain from sex or to be a porn star is irrelevant. Feminism is about equality. Men are allowed to be submissive to women and still be considered men in every other life situation.
You can absolutely be a feminist and get off on misogyny in the bedroom. You can look in the mirror and respect yourself, and you can look in the mirror and disrespect yourself. The point is, that it’s your choice.
Any woman that criticizes another woman’s right to make her own choices does not understand feminism.
That concludes my opinion. Feel free to have your own.
