Can't a woman enjoy her sexuality without being called a whore?
Basically, that's what I've seen here. Beyonce was dancing too suggestively. Beyonce wasn't wearing enough clothes...and so on.
It's always about the women dancing suggestively or wearing too little. The insinuation is that they are whores for doing it without saying the actual word or making the accusation.
What is wrong with a woman enjoying her sexuality?
I like feeling sexy and I don't mind showing off my body on occasion. It's not the best body, but it's not a bad one either.
During my days living in Germany years ago, I experienced a sexual revolution of sorts. I was single at the time and I relished having sex with whomever I chose without feeling guilty about it. I quit caring about who thought I was a whore. What mattered was what I thought about myself. As a result, I learned to accept who I was and to enjoy my sexuality regardless. Plus, I love sex. It feels ****ing great!
So, if Beyonce wants to flaunt her body, dance suggestively and wear sexy clothing...I say more power to her. Show your stuff girl. You got it...flaunt it.

cynatnite (26,905 posts)Of course you do... until it comes time to pay for your birth control, abortions, housing, health care, and education to care for what your body created while you were out "owning" it. Then you want to stick the rest of us with the bill.

Yes a woman can enjoy her sexuality without being called a whore. If she does it within her marriage or monogamous relationship she is not a whore. If she drops her panties for every guy she sees then she is a whore.
And the same goes for men. Men who screw anything that moves are whores.
It's unusual for this to happen, but I disagree with you Freep. Just dropping her panties for every guy she sees doesn't make her a whore.
It makes her a slut. She only becomes a whore if she charges for it.
At least from my understanding of the words.

32. I am not calling her a whore

I probably shouldn't have responded to this. but to be clear I am not calling her a whore.
I think you are missing the point. It is possible that the organizers of the Halftime show brought her in, hoping her sexuality would be on full display (actually that's probably likely). Evidently based on what I have read - she went too far for some people. I don't know as I didn't watch.
The point to her taking money isn't that taking money makes her a whore (it doesn't, and I am not calling her a whore), it's that if you take money you have to live up to what you understand you are taking the money for - which in this case probable means being sexy but not too sexy.
Anyway - again, I am not calling her a whore. And that last statement seems kind of off - male sexuality is proscribed completely differently than female sexuality because of our national hangups about homosexuality (particularly male sexuality).

Ps. I'm not calling her a whore
Right! She can be arrested for being a whore, but not a slut :-)
Men who screw anything that moves are whores.Well, I surely don't agree with that torturous affront to the English language.

16. "What is wrong with a woman enjoying her sexuality?"
Nothing.
If the show was produced to suit my preferences, then it would have involved an on-stage orgy involving actual sex and close up Jumbotron views of amazing feats of dildonic athleticism. That would also communicate the message that the performers do own their bodies and enjoy pleasuring them for the entertainment of others. Nothing says "we own our bodies" more than, say, a live orgasm broadcast to millions of homes.
Unfortunately, the show did not appeal to my preference that it contain actual sex. Like Michael Jackson's crotch-grabbing, I found it unsatisfying that we did not get to see actual genitalia, and that the bodies in question remained far too prudishly covered, making it difficult to make out the exact contours of the labia majoris of this talented woman.
They gave an award to some kid for exercising an hour a day. I can recall vigorously exercising my right arm for extended periods when I was younger too.
Some people believe in drawing lines for the purpose of an entertainment spectacle designed to be viewed by an audience with a wide variety of tastes, and opinions about where those lines are drawn. But, for the purpose of DU, it is much more entertaining to characterize one camp as fundamentalists mullahs, and the other camp as peep show afficionados.

Best post in the thread. Short and to the point.
Right! She can be arrested for being a whore, but not a slut :-)
