Reply #7: Well, of course.

It's a dirty little secret among women that very often "sisterhood" only applies to SOME women. Good women. Women like "us."

Look at your average high-school female-bullying session. Who's most vicious about girls who get labelled "sluts" and judges them the most harshly? (Hint: it's not usually boys.)

One wonders just how much sex a woman is allowed to have before her individuality and humanity become irrelevant in the eyes of OTHER WOMEN, and she becomes either an object of hellfire and damnation for the fundies and a figure of pity too damaged to make her own choices in the eyes of reformers.
