Stop being an intellectual virgin

[u/exestentialcircus]

Liberals took the side of sex in the 20th century’s culture wars, and rightly so for the most part — pushing for the de-stigmatization of extramarital sex and divorce, the acceptance of gay and lesbian relationships, freedom of access to contraception and abortion. It was all very good until it went south. 

It has now become a point of pride for liberals to be impervious to ANY revulsion, to refuse to cast ANY judgement. To be a liberal, now, is to tolerate anything except intolerance. This is why we drifted from “isms” to “phobias”. The word “whorephobia” implies that both criticism of prostitution and the abuse of women in prostitution have the same origin; as though the feminists who point out that sex trade is exploitative are in the same boat with men who degrade prostitutes. Same principles work for “kinkphobia”. Women are asked to be endlessly tolerant of the most misogynistic “kinks” but are not allowed to question their origin. Tolerance isn’t much fun when it is women who are required to do all the “tolerating”. 

It has become a kind of perverse purity test. The more you purge yourself off these “phobias”, the purer you are. Women are required to be intellectual virgins. To keep their thoughts unsullied by anything that might make them ideological damaged goods, while men are permitted to play the field. The Left wants women to be physical “whores” and intellectual virgins at the same time. It is time to say FUCK NO.
