Slut shaming and historical feminism

Post Reply New Topic

Nowadays we have "slut shaming"???

Erm, nowadays this lifestyle is rampant and commonplace throughout America and no longer the primary domain of countercultures and alternative lifestyles. In fact, casual sex without the "proper" courtship ritual dates back to the 1920s in America(as well as in Germany during the Weimar Republik). In the roaring 20s, young women danced with men and got drunk at speakeasy's and then "hitched the woo" without any traditional dating.

Now you're talking about the sexual revolution of the 1960s and this attitude of sexual permissiveness was commonplace among hippies and flowerchildren. It persisted into the 70s but the counterculture ran out of steam due to massive economic decline. By the 1980s all those free loving hippies become middle class yuppies who got married, settled down, and had kids.

These days, the word "slut" is a taboo against many middle class urban millennial women and all the way back in the late 90s you had shows like "Sex in the city" which glamorized hookup culture. So IDK where you are getting this from but it sounds like a lot of feminist propaganda.



But what triggered the 1980s backlash against free love was the AIDS crisis. Promiscuity among both gays and straights in the 70s spread the AIDS virus throughout the western world. So in the 1980s people began to see the deadly consequences of "free love" and there has also been more awareness of drug-induced date rape which was overlooked back in the swingin' 60s and stagflationary 70s.
That's what spurned the teaching of sex education in American schools starting in the late 1980.

What your friend should have warned you about is UNPROTECTED sex. My first gf insisted that I use a condom even though she never mentioned being on the pill and I was the first guy she had slept with in 6 years. Long story short, she told me that she lost her virginity at the age of 17 in HS to her first bf who date raped her and prior to meeting me she had avoided sex altogether.

I do wonder about this male friend of yours who ostensibly has autism and slept with over 30 women. Sounds to me like he either is flat out lying about the number of sexual partners he's had(which guys tend to do), or he's a musician or an athlete. Because the vast majority of women tend to be repulsed by men with poor social skills.

I already new of the dangers of unprotected sex so she didn't need to warn me of it. She knows of my autism and was worried I wouldnt realise what people may think.

As for my male friend he has quite severe autism although not the aspergers kind. He was also adhd and did majiruana to help with his akwardNess. He was very animalistic and I think that's what attracted women, he also never slept with one woman more then once because he hated getting close to people.

He hate beng autistic so much he worked really hard to be the opposite and never told anyone about it. He only told me after I guessed and he found out I was

Heh , my dad never used that word but he definitely delayed my sexual interest with a "talk" of all talks.
Sex Ed was in the public school I was in the last few months of that school year in 1974.
My dad was self made. He was born in 1917. I was supposed to succeed on my own or marry well.

Seeing the revolution going on around us and the hike in out of wedlock children and divorce he tailored his lecture.
The adults I was around most were all types of Catholic. He was rather agnostic x baptist that converted when he was in his late 60s.
He warned about reputation and the desired commodity of virginity. But then reached to my pragmatic side. I got the everything you never wanted to know much less ask speech >_<.
And he pointed out the fact that unfair or not, being the female meant that I got all the burdens and cons. I was the one that classically would be "used good" if too active (he also said that any young man with reputation of many was one to well avoid anyway). Diease affects us more seriously, surprise pregnancy means early family or murdering a child that is in my way with all the moral weight on me. Only guaranteed safety is abstinence (pre- aids)
Breaking traditional family is bad for our species, children do ont thrive as much when one parent dies. Divorce seems worse and uglier. And it breaks your Sacraments. That yes, sex feels good, but so does a good s**t or a back scratch or second drink. It would never be great unless HE was really into me and wanted to please me in particular. That connection which usually is with a person inspired enough to wish to spend life with you, otherwise it would be unsatisfactory ..a kinda good until better, until better, until better but without the familarity to be copilot . And even if he was new and awkward too, if the connection was there he would learn to make me happier than 100 could even try and still fail.
That said, I wished I had followed the advice even closer.

And in closing, I wouldn't want my son to marry a girl of ill repute or my daughter become loose and fast with her body. It is respect for yourself to make it a very tight VIP club .

You're looking at a stereotype of the 70's, the drug induced free love casual sex hippies and beatniks engaged in and applying it to wider society. That was a counterculture to the rampant mainstream conservatism that sent men to die in Vietnam. It was a product of it's time and nothing more.

well all those soldiers needed replacing.....

Even in the 1970s, most people weren't constantly having orgies.

The internet has its own effects on things. Its a relatively new tool that people use for good and bad.
