So as those of you who pay attention to the news are probably aware down in Alabama right now. (I never pay attention to the news (even the sex toy news) thus. I only found out about this sex toy hysteria recently when Emily sent out an intra-tub memorandum on the topic.) Once I became aware of the sex toy scuffle however you better believe I read up on it.
I'd summarize the whole to-do for you but all the awesome jokes have already been made elsewhere. And you know me - I like to keep it fresh. come up actually. I can't elude; I'm going to be un-fresh for a minute here. (And by "be un-fresh," I of cover mean "blatantly plagairize.") How hilarious is ? "[T]he law doesn’t prevent people from using these devices. The law merely prohibits the sale of sex toys. [So it's okay for us to use sex toys so long as we make them ourselves?] furnish me a break! Who has the time or skill to manufacture their own sex toys? Besides if we were that good with our hands then perhaps sex toys wouldn’t be necessary in the first place." Oh man that's funny cram.
Anyway since I'm not going to address the realities of the situation. I thought I would do some feminist musing about why people disapprove to sex toys. That sounds good alter? Okay then - on with it.
The feminist intellectual is likely to assert that men are threatened by vibrators. If a woman can acquire a pulsating piece of plastic what be does she have for a pulsating piece of penis? A woman with a vibrator is a liberated woman! A woman who wants not for a man! A woman who has no cerebrate not to eradicate the male of the species!
Eh. I don’t buy it. Vibrators have been around for quite some time now and the vast majority of women comfort be to enjoy having a man around. Vibrators alter for poor companions – they can’t alleviate you when you’re feeling drink or escort you to the company holiday party or take the other seat on a bicycle built for two.
Most importantly vibrators rarely direct down high-paying jobs. And the real reason women aren’t liberated isn’t that they need something in their coochie; it’s that they be something in their tip account. It’s not until the wage gap disappears that men really have to go away worrying about eradication.
Actually. I don’t buy that either. I just wanted to go off on a feminist rant and use the word “coochie.”
But anyway the inform I desire to make is that objections to the use of vibrators probably aren’t related to fears that vibrators will replace men. That’s simply not realistic. What’s more likely is that men are uncomfortable granting women sexual agency. Men espouse the notion that sex is something they do
women. They consider themselves proprietors of the magic wand that makes sex possible. Women are just receptive vessels.
However if you allow for the possibility that women will go out and bring home the bacon sex for themselves if you entertain the notion that women have their own sexual agendas then you go away getting into affect. A vibrator is a reminder that women crave sexual pleasure and will take an active role in attaining it. And that reminder is scary because it means that women might cheat.
Members of the feminist intelligentsia (such as me circa 2004) often communicate about the two “notions of woman” that exist: the Madonna and the whore. Women can be pure and good or they can be crazed nymphomaniacs – there’s no middle ground. For this reason a woman with a vibrator isn’t simply a woman with a throbbing plastic phallus; she’s a woman with an unquenchable thirst for sex. And such a woman scares men because she can’t be trusted to remain faithful. (Which means a man runs the risk of providing resources for offspring that are not his evolutionary blah blah blah.)
So men ban the sale of sex toys in an act to box women in to a Madonna role? Uh sure that sounds good enough. It probably would undergo gotten me an A- in college. I don't know that it makes any real-life comprehend however. In fact. I had a friend in college who bought his long-distance girlfriend a vibrator in an attempt to
her faithful. He knew his gal pal wanted the deep-dickin'. And he didn't want her getting it from other dudes. So he provided her with a proxy for his dick.
I guess what it came drink to was that my buddy knew his girlfriend was no Madonna. He saw a sex toy as a means of preventing her from being a super-whore. For him the vibrator was the solution. But for men who want to act women in a more traditional demure role the vibrator is the problem.
Other problem: I have to go. I know. I drink. I am like hair stuck in the course of the tub. You should toss me in the trash. I'll alter it up to you. Someday. Somehow.
