Our women need to be sexually free!


Author of ‘Vagina: A New Biography’, Naomi Wolf’s article on attitude on women’s bodies in CNN gives us a lot of issues to ponder.  Yes, in the age of hyper-sexuality, where porn stuff is free of cost and available round the clock, it is Kate Middleton’s breasts and an American university professor who breast-fed a baby in class that are making news.
A Russian band Pussy Riots is all over news, you know for what. According to Naomi Wolf, female sexuality around the world is targeted because through traumatizing the vagina, you can intimidate women on multiple other levels.
Vaginal exams by armed strangers for "virginity tests’ on young women in Arab world are annoying. Yet, the women who staged protest against such an inhuman practice in Tahrir Square were put behind the bars.
According to Wolf, we are at an important crossroads in which it is becoming clearer to women around the world that, as one feminist artist put it, "your body is a battleground."
Yes, any scandal and discussion about vagina or breasts or "pussy riots" is ridiculous. It’s time the world learns how to respect female bodies.
The female bodies are divine, sublime and they deserve respect. They are not consumer goods.
The sexual revolution happened, but what for? Still our women are not sexually free as they deserve to be! They should be fully free to define the meanings of their bodies and their desire, to assert their sexual wishes without punishment!
Let’s all admit, pals, they too deserve many things that we enjoy.
