(80,708 posts)Particularly in light of arguments or hand-wringing around erotic material representing "access" to "womens bodies".
Leaving aside the obvious question/point of one woman or a group of women mentally conflating themselves with ALL women (along with an -I suppose it could be called "objectifying"- inability to see women as individuals) the other obvious glaring issue is the idea of small groups of women appointing themselves 'gatekeepers' of 'access' to 'womens bodies' (again, appointing themselves to speak for all women, and being unable to distinguish someone else's body from their own).
Which is my point, exactly, as to what may be the root of some of these shaming behaviors exhibited by some groups of women, their origins in small hunter-gatherer bands and the hard-wired impulse of some to 'control' general group sexual availability and 'access'.
