āsex positivityā was a mistake. itās not being utilized in a way that lets people (especially young girls, people of color and lgbt people) have proper access to information about sex and STDs, consent, or rape culture but instead it just promotes a āfuck whoever you want whenever you want and never think about the consequences!ā mindset. it leads to a lot of minors making god awful decisions and then regretting them later with nothing they can do about it. it leads to ābeing open about your kinks is progressive!!!!ā which in turn ends up with men pressuring women into violent sex and saying that if she was a #Real sex positive feminist, then sheād have sex with him how he wants her to.
sex positivity shouldāve been used to promote education of safe sex, to lessen stigma around sex (especially between sga and trans individuals), to give sex workers a voice, to spread proper information about STDs and prevention and treatment, and to teach about rape culture and consent. but as with most movements like this all it ended up being was a red lipstick and black heels āfuck the patriarchyā type thing while doing literally nothing progressive! and of course iām not saying thereās nobody who does this, but with the way the sex positivity movement has gone, i doubt these people have the energy to try and have a loud enough voice in a community spewing the opposite of the message that should be gotten across.
