Aching to Pupate

Femme, feisty, feminist, finding it harder to alliterate than I expected. Twenty-something, vegan, queer, sex- and body-positive, book-loving, Jewish, kinky almost-college graduate. My feminism is intersectional or it isn't worth shit. Directing my life marginally better than a butterfly in a hurricane.

I'm kinda in love with my best friend.

Can we just talk about the virgin-whore dichotomy being enacted here? Actually, first we can note the fact that my initial reaction had quite a bit of assumption in it, i.e. that not wearing underwear is an indicator of being a more promiscuous person. Then we can talk about the virgin-whore dichotomy.

I thought it was just a clever spin on an old saying in a vodka advertisement. lol.

So because it’s a clever spin on an old saying in a vodka advertisement, it can’t also be an example of the virgin-whore dichotomy being promoted in our society? Adverts, entertainment, and other forms of media are not created in a vacuum. They reflect the ideas prevalent in society at the time they are made.
