Has radical feminist critique of vaginal intercourse had any impact on you?

Have any of you been so swayed by it that you've given up penetrative sex as a consequence?

I haven't looked at the link yet, but I remember reading stuff years ago that challenged the idea of vaginal sex as being 'penetrated', but recast it as a more powerful idea of 'enveloping' or 'enclosing'. Is that what you mean?

I LOVE penetrative sex. I don't feel violated by it at all. I am the gatekeeper...

Bit of an off the wall link btw...No offense.

Seriously? Where else are they meant to put it? Answers on a postcard... Wink.

"First the troll thread saying I had to have a gender reassignment to be a feminist, and now this!

Please explain...."

At no point have I suggested that gender reassignment is a prerequisite for becoming a feminist. The other thread was about an NHS policy change.

With regards to radical feminist critique of vaginal intercourse, the FactCheckMe blog is a good place to start.

Pardon?

I wasn't aware that being a feminist means I'm supposed to give up penetrative sex.

First the troll thread saying I had to have a gender reassignment to be a feminist, and now this!

Please explain....
