To be hugely pissed of with my radical feminist friend.

She was at my house this morning and felt it her place to lecture me that because I am married I am in servitude. (WTF!) And another lecture that allowing my husband to have PIV sex with me was tanatamount to him sexualy assaulting me on a regular basis.

Now I can utterly accept her not wanting to have PIV sex. But who the fuck is she to tell me I damn well shouldnt? She then banged on that it was abusive due to the risk of unwanted pregnancy. (DH has had the snip, so no risk) I happen to like being penetrated and will happily penetrate myself for enjoyment.
Sex for me is a very varied thing and involves many things.

I know that some feminists have strong views on marriage, but again its my life and MY choice. And I certainly dont live in any kind of bloody servitude.

Feminine · 17/10/2011 15:10

another wind-up!

NeedABrew · 17/10/2011 15:10

Of course it is a choice. There's plenty of critique in feminist theory that she ought to look up when judging other people's choices. There are benefits to being married that are completely in accordance with feminism (say legal rights and a fulfilling relationship - good for women) and a sexual relationship that includes penetration is rewarding.

You can be a feminist and love men, be married to them/in a relationship with them and enjoy shagging them!

Aliceinboots · 17/10/2011 15:11

PIM? PUA?

Your friend sounds like a very argumentative nutter.

TheBreadstick · 17/10/2011 15:12

This is the funniest thing I've read in ages. I even laughed at iggi999 saying "pov" ....

NambaJam · 17/10/2011 15:12

iggi

Thanks for a little perpesctive (Im slowly calming down now).

Yes I think the thing that got to me was the being dictated to over what choice I was supposed to make. I too have views on things that some of my friends probably dont share. But i dont tell people that their choices are not allowable.

I think your friend needs a little PIV in her life (or a large one) coz she's clearly missing something ..... Grin

manicbmc · 17/10/2011 15:19

She doesn't get the whole equality thing really does she? If she did she'd acknowledge that your view is every bit as valid as her own.

And also pmsl @ armpit sex Grin

storminabuttercup · 17/10/2011 15:20

What the actual fuck? Hmm

LadyEvilEyes · 17/10/2011 15:20

So don't feminists let penises in their vagina then?
WTAF.

Can someone actually explain this to me.
Please don't me have to go to the Feminist pages to find out.

sportsfanatic · 17/10/2011 15:24

She's not a feminist - she's a total wingnut. What a prat.

needanewname · 17/10/2011 15:35

She obviously needs some good piv!

I lobe being married, means I get piv whenever I want/need it. I am most certainly not submissive (unless that's what im in the mood for)

You friend is obviously a complete and utter loon and I feel very sorry for her

giyadas · 17/10/2011 15:41

LEE - The PIV thing (imo) is about analysing the importance that society puts on penetrative sex, as opposed to other types of sex and the effect this has on women as a group, not attacking other women for making different choices.

Beating your friends around the head with your opinions isn't on really, regardless of your political views.

BelleEnd · 17/10/2011 15:44

PIV! I am almost sick laughing. Is PIE sex okay? (Penis in Ear?) What about PIA sex? (Penis in Armpit?)

Splinters · 17/10/2011 15:45

Doesn't sound like feminism to me, it sounds bonkers

NambaJam · 17/10/2011 15:46

In hindsight I should have probably just told her to get over herself a little and ignored her.

But I still cant help thinking that views like that are actualy damaging to women in general.

She sounds jealous that you have a DH and enjoy a good rodgering {hwink]

picnicbasketcase · 17/10/2011 15:48

Oh lord. You're all going to try to proposition your partners by giving them come-hither looks and saying 'Fancy a quick PIV?', aren't you?

giyadas · 17/10/2011 15:49

Grin picnic, I am now.

BelleEnd · 17/10/2011 15:50

Yes, we are. We should all text our bedmates now with "do you fancy a pivving tonight?"

NambaJam · 17/10/2011 15:53

[hgrin] @ BelleEnd

Time to get me texting I think
