I reject the label because it is used to demonize women based on their sexuality.
I'm sick of people using women's sexuality as a way to discredit, divide, or shame us into silence.
And I'm also sick of the collateral damage: Those girls who get the idea that they're already free to own their sexuality, and find out that societally speaking, we're actually not there yet. We are, in fact, still quite far away.
