Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

The rest of the bit cited here:

“Everyone thinks of me as this horned-up pop star, but there’s really so much more to me,” she quipped. “I’m not just horny. I’m also turned-on, and I’m sexually charged, and I love to read. My favorite book is the encyclopedia. It’s so big, and it’s hard.”

Whatch'all think?

Is this sexual liberation, regressive, or should we just let women be horny?

A big difference is how much Madonna alluded and suggested to sex, while Carpenter comes right out and says "I want to fuck." I suppose that's a matter of different eras and different sensibilities. You're right the outrage is about on par between them at the same stage in their careers.

I, for one, am so very pleased to see some positive changes on the sexual liberation front.
