Sexual freedom
is not about
sex, it is
about freedom.
If men have a right to feel good when they are called studs so do I feel good when I am called a slut.
“If men have a right to sleep with 10 women so do I have a right to sleep with ten men.” there was an argument of how men and women were different and I opened my loud mouth to say this. We were having summer vacation and we were about thirty people(uncles, aunts and cousins) having a great time in my grandmother’s home.

I was asked
to apologize. I refused.
My mother was
asked to apologize
on my behalf.
She said, “it is
my child’s opinion.” She
refused an apology
in a roundabout
way.
“She is too
young to understand
men and women
are different.” Said my
grandmother.
“She is young and
this is the
time when they
learn to be
wayward.” Said an uncle.
The entire man
brigade of ten
or so jumped
into the argument
all furious and
loud. The women just
shut up and
watched , most of them nodding in
agreement.
“This is the
right time to
control the girls.”
“She will teach
others…she is a
bad influence.”
I did not
buzz from my
stand. I cried a lot. I
was 12 years
old them. I keep
repeating what I
said. Since I
was just 12
I did not
have the right
words to argue
neither my voice was so
loud that I
could shout back
at ten men
all shouting at
me. But I
knew I was
right.
Our family was
asked to leave.
We had to pack our
bags in the
middle of the
night and leave. .
It’s been years and years since that
argument.
Today you are the fittest, tomorrow we will be.
I know the day I have it, it will be the last day in shackles.
Today I believe
even more firmly :
“If men have
a right to
sleep with 10
women so do
women have a
right to sleep
with 10 men.”
Call a woman
a slut and
it is demeaning
but call a man
a stud it
is like giving
him a Nobel
prize!
Why the difference?
If morality in
men is defined
by their head
why should the
morality of women
be defined by
their ass?
The question
of sexual freedom
is important.
Sexual freedom
is not about
sex it is
about freedom.
Because the question of
sexual freedom is
about power it’s
not about sex….just
like the questions
about freedom to
education, food…etc…any kind
of freedom is
about power.
Anyone asking for
freedom from the
social shackles is
saying a few
things:
1. You no
longer are my teacher,
preacher, my lord
or my master.
2. You are
unworthy in all
possible ways.
3. I have
to unlearn all
that you taught.
4. I have found
a proof of
your stupidity and
a better path
for myself.
So basically the seeker is
saying : Fuck You.
If someone wants
freedom from social
norms they are
not just asking
it to let
go but telling
it that it is not
worthy to hold
them anymore.
And that is
the redistribution of
power. The highest form
of insult.
That is the
kind of power
men and this
society still have
over women…the right they
have to control
our destiny…the power
they do not
want to hand
over. The power
of possession….of ownership.
I want that
power to be
mine.
It is simple : I
want myself back.
I do not
wish to control
you and likewise you
should not control
me….let it be
by using all
sorts of trick
and techniques :
Do not use
religion to control
me.
Do not use
money to control me.
I was born
free and in
intend to stay
free.
I might be
borrowed through genes, through social
conditioning, through emotional
and intellectual feeding
to an extent
but my life
is still mine.
What I learn
and what I
will unlearn is
mine to chose.
I want my
control back…I don’t
want to dictate
how men or
this society should
live their life
and the same
way I do
not want them
to tell me
what I should
do.
I do not
want to be told how
or why I
should be protected.
There is a
saying in India, “Women are
like diamonds . Would
you leave your
diamonds in the
open or you
put them in
a locker?”
Another one : “we
worship women as
our goddess mother.
Would you like
to see our
goddess mother dressed
like a slut.”
No, I am
no diamond nor
I am a
goddess. These are
just mouse traps
laden with cheese.
Call me precious
and lock me?
Call me a
goddess and worship
me?
I don’t want
to be a goddess or a diamond if
it takes away
my right to
be a human.
This is no
competition.
But yes, if
women want to
they have a
right to.
I do not believe I
should smoke but if I
want to I
have a right. The
same way I
have a right
to roam
the streets half
naked, sit in
a bar, go to a
disco….or whatever.
The same way
I have a right to food, clothing,
education, employment the
same way I
have the right
to sexual freedom
in this man
dominated society.
Yes, men and
their society are
scared they are
losing control over women.
And their reaction
to it is
the rising eve teasing, molestations,
rapes and those
million crimes against
women both inside
homes and outside. Yes,
these crimes are
their only way
to tell themselves
and us they
are still our
Gods, our masters….and we should fear
them.
But one
thing should be
learned from history :
nature corrects whatever
is wrong sooner
than later.
And most of
the times it
overcorrects!
See what happened
to castism, racism …and
all those isms
that divided the
world during old
ages… what was lower
in the social scale
instead of becoming
equal has jumped
up…and has become
a privilege today. The
same way feminism
will go rigid
if women are
not handed their
rights in a decent
manner.
Because if rights
are not given they
will be taken
by force of
will. That is the
lesson history points
out.
Remember Darwin’s
survival of the
fittest? It talks not
just how we
came to be
here but also tells
how our future
will turn out
to be.
On an average
men are physically
stronger than women. The
rest of the
weakness: emotional, social
and intellectual have
been forced upon
us because we
are physically weaker.
A day might
come when we
will be equals
in all ways….if
a single cell
amoeba can mutate to
become a human
in a million
years then I
am sure for
a woman to
get stronger than
man in every
way will not
take much time.
Because we have
to survive and
we will.Today you are the fittest, tomorrow we will be.
So this is
me calling a
truce before I
get the fittest…before I
become a master….this is me
giving you a
chance…..I don’t stomp
you, so you
don’t stomp me.
We , men and
women, have been
together through years…so
let’s have a
symbiotic relationship and
not a parasitic
one.
So, like I
said it’s not
a competition but
if men and
their society want
it so be it.
Sexual freedom
is my right
to have.I know the day I have it, it will be the last day in shackles.
Either de-slut me
and call me
a she-stud or
call all the
studs in the
world he-sluts.
And I want
those oxford dictionary
guys to work
on that.
When injustice becomes
the law resistance becomes
our duty.
Awesome!! I have nothing else to say but your post just coincides a little with what I have on mind on my next post!!! the 'V' and how they have been using it against us
