Hi again. I’m writing another post because the feedback on my last one was surprisingly good. Thank you for that.
Before I start ranting a little, I want to be clear about my intentions. I am a girls’ girl, and this is about girl power, not criticism of women. This is meant for reflection, not judgment. An invitation, not a final answer.
My last post was mostly directed at the boys. This one is for the girls.
I want to talk about our dopamine driven culture, and women’s need for validation today. The pressure to show our bodies, the need to feel desired, and the lengths some women go to for attention. Things like crossing boundaries, seeking validation from unavailable men, or using sexuality as a shortcut to feeling valued.
Calling all of this empowerment seems dishonest to me.
Being an OnlyFans model is not automatically empowerment. For many, it seems to be about validation and insecurity, not freedom.
This is not what feminism was originally about. The women of the 70s fought to not be reduced to their bodies or sexual value. Somewhere along the way, that message seems to have been twisted.
Feminism should also allow women to be honest with each other. Not to shame, but to say when something looks self destructive instead of empowering.
And to be clear, choosing sex work is a personal choice. My point is not to judge individuals, but to question how these choices are framed as empowerment.
And honestly, one last thought. Isn’t it cooler to be the woman with depth, integrity, and a strong sense of self, the one who cannot be easily accessed or consumed. Rather than being known only for being desired by everyone? How doe's that show real value?
Also this is a critique of culture, not of survival.
