I like the quote from this article:
Quote:
It?s funny that ?whore? is such a bad word in our culture - especially when we break it down. Why is a whore so bad? Because a whore represents a woman who consciously recognizes her sexual effect on people, stands in her sexual power, and uses that effect (read evil manipulation) to consciously earn money. This is a ?bad? thing.
Really?
We all do this everyday, just not with sex. We consciously use our assets to earn a living. The damnation of ?whores? makes clear our hatred of women who are empowered in their sexuality. It also makes clear our lack of even the most basic understanding of sex.
We are terrified of seeing sex clearly. We deny seeing its complex nature. We hate sexual ambiguities. It?s black and white: we are either ?good girls and boys? or immoral whores and sluts.
Our sexual self loathing and self hatred is not about sex; it?s our cultural beliefs about sex.
