Can't a woman enjoy her sexuality without being called a whore?

Basically, that's what I've seen here. Beyonce was dancing too suggestively. Beyonce wasn't wearing enough clothes...and so on.

It's always about the women dancing suggestively or wearing too little. The insinuation is that they are whores for doing it without saying the actual word or making the accusation.

What is wrong with a woman enjoying her sexuality?

I like feeling sexy and I don't mind showing off my body on occasion. It's not the best body, but it's not a bad one either.

During my days living in Germany years ago, I experienced a sexual revolution of sorts. I was single at the time and I relished having sex with whomever I chose without feeling guilty about it. I quit caring about who thought I was a whore. What mattered was what I thought about myself. As a result, I learned to accept who I was and to enjoy my sexuality regardless. Plus, I love sex. It feels fucking great!

So, if Beyonce wants to flaunt her body, dance suggestively and wear sexy clothing...I say more power to her. Show your stuff girl. You got it...flaunt it.

The message is this:

WE OWN OUR BODIES!

Can't a woman enjoy her sexuality without being called a whore?

1. i hope so

98. I think it's more like many piggish men (hopefully not including me) want to enjoy your sexuality...

2. Was she paid to participate in the Super Bowl?

6. So, if she was paid, then she is a whore. Gotcha...

9. That's a pretty unfortunate way to interpret it

17. Ask yourself this question: What is a whore?

32. I am not calling her a whore

282. What is a whore? n/t

283. A whore is someone who takes money for sex as I understand it n/t

125. Whores by whose concept?

129. I'm comfortable with that - prudery anyway

221. What do you mean when you say 'a spectacle of herself, counter to what the organizers might want'?

59. Rush Limbaugh flaunts his jiggling body every day in the simulcasts of his radio show...

93. aaaaaugh!!11! Brain bleach, brain bleach!

101. I take that to mean you don't like it and you don't wanna put a ring on it?

164. STOP IT...

186. Whoa. I think that makes me a history whore! With underaged clients!!!

8. I'm sure the Superbowl halftime people wanted her to wear sexy outfits

58. All the artists who performed at Super Bowl half-time shows do it for free

226. No, she wasn't paid.

255. Super Bowl Half-Time Show Stars are NOT paid. The are reimbursed for the

3. That has always been my phllosophy:

4. It's the old 'Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" argument.

7. Beyonce and her husband make enough money and are high enough in the star

11. Then good for her!

259. ...and hobnob with the president. nt

49. 'Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" that's easy, neither the rooster did

153. The answer at last!

181. She's doing it because it's her job. Hello? n/t

201. That was my first thought.

229. they've had old men perform. the day they have an old woman perform is the day

291. Exactly.

5. Those same people where probably

196. Cut out that crap about "old folks" dude! Seriously.

266. "Old Folks" probably know how to use "were", "too" and "accept"

10. No, there are uptight prudes on both ends of the political spectrum...

50. 2003. Now you're making me feel like an old turd...

12. Sure she can, but...

18. Here you go...

20. OK, I'm impressed.

90. She's been around since Destiny Child group.

63. I remember a few years back

64. I still think she's way overrated, but she can sing.

29. And I reserve the right to say "Pffffffttttt"!!!

13. I have yet to see anyone outraged over the Calvin Klein commercial.

24. I saw that and thought...

26. I saw that and thought....

33. I won't call her names either.

137. Damn it all to hell

147. *chuckle* Sorry. nt

30. Ooh la la!

34. Darn it.

39. So true!!! Thank you for putting it all in context.

46. Start a thread.

67. what's the problem with that?

127. Another good point. It's a sexist double standard

140. Actually, I think that ad has also been panned.

146. "Actually, I think that ad has also been panned."

150. Mommy didn't rush the children

171. I know I wan't "offended". nt

167. It was discussed on CNN this AM, but if you want a link ... here's one.

168. You couldn't provide a link where it has been discussed on DU

180. Because DU is more representative than CNN and the link I provided??

210. I think you are just playing now.

179. My only beef with that commercial is the assumption that straight guys don't buy CK underwear.

218. Little kids shouldn't be subjected to such gory violence!

219. Loved the puppy bowl.

14. Yup, she did it to prove she owned her own body, selling more downloads,

23. What's wrong with that?

36. Maybe she should just sing...

42. Way to tell her how she should act.

197. Way to get all upset over somehting harmless..is there anything

212. Very cute. My delicate little female sensibilities.

215. And yours do too...your abilities at projection are amazing...

217. Projection. Did you read your first sentence.

48. It's her choice.

133. Opinions only, not facts

198. Good Lord, I would love to tell you what I think about your judgmental shit tirade...

275. Christian fundamentalism?

147. chuckle Sorry. nt
