America Never Wanted Free Women
And it’s working overtime to remind us
What a trip to be a woman in 2023. A deeply feeling, sexually curious woman who spent her life trying to be a boring good girl, content to only experience her sexuality in missionary position that might or might not get her off. A woman so tired of living in a culture that shames and controls her sexuality that she decided to go full-tilt after her own liberation in 2019.
I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I actually thought men would embrace and celebrate women like me. Didn’t they want this? Didn’t they want more access to uninhibited sexual experiences? Didn’t they want to experiment more? Didn’t they want joyful partners who pursued pleasure with exuberance and excitement?
But no, I found. That was not the case, at all.
And three years later, when Roe v. Wade was reversed, I began to understand what was going on.
The truth has been hidden for a long time. Looking back, I can see that it was always there…just unspoken. Veiled. Barely repressed.
But when your country not only removes a fundamental freedom that it had previously granted and does so with such extreme measures that the United Nations is considering stepping in on behalf of American women, that truth is no longer hidden.
