Hypocrisy Haiku
I’m bored of moral
Outrage over adult flesh
Given with consent
I’m horrified by
Moral ambivalence when
Consent’s not given
You are blind to both
By choice to avoid your own
Selfish discomfort
Beauty and consent
Power and autono(my)
Voice and choice denied
No more is it yours
To choose which kind of “she” we
Are allowed to be

Indeed
We ignore it when little girls are forced to be sexual, but get so outraged when adult consenting women take proud control of their sexuality. We want women to “love their bodies” but God forbid we have to actually see a female human body. Makes me crazy! But then you already knew all that.
I did. It depresses me, the dual standards, the stunning hypocricy – particularly of my own sex. There is nothing wrong with nudity, or semi mudity, or a woman dressing how she wishes. It is not an excuse or an invitation for sex. It does not imply looseness of morals. It is pride in being a woman
Yes, and pride in being a human, alive. Some might be surprised to hear this progressive viewpoint from you, I am not. 😉 But then some are not self aware enough to understand their own messiness, nuances, desires, needs, rights…and how they all fit together.
I think it is a compliment. Smiles.
But I must run pick up the kid….shocker…I am a “mom” who still enjoys sexuality and is not ashamed of my body. 😉 some in this country would rather that not be the case.
But I would venture the USA is a sad case when it come to hypocrisy on this matter
Smiles
Yes, a compliment. And yes, a sad case when it comes to sexual hypocrisy.
The only thing wrong with this is that it isn’t written in uppercase letters. Bravo and Kudos to you.
Yes, in my mind it is certainly all cap, and thank you.
