The entire core conceit if the piece is exposed in the title; "Private fantasy, public reality". That construction,that juxtaposition, is deliberate.

It is deliberate because it is a top tier fetish (yes, i will use that word) of the authoritarian anti-sex factions of the 2nd wave to justify meddling in the private choices of consenting adults, to argue that so-called "private behavior" (scare quotes, heavy sighs, eye rolling) is not private at all, but political and as such needs to be policed by the brave batllers of all things Patriarchalus.

Patron saint Dworkin essentially said that any time any woman's body is invaded by a penis in a so-called "consensual" (scare quotes, again) sex act, all women everywhere are harmed via spooky patriarchal quantum action-at-a-distance. Take that, Einstein, you phallopressor!

Let's work through the piece, shall we?

Subjective opinion. By all accounts, the scenes were consensual and more than a little bit ridiculous, although yes "ridiculous" is subjective opinion, too.




Um, well, for one, Feminism 101 tells us that "under patriarchy", ALL hetero PIV sex is degrading and oppressive, so ANY man who enjoys that sort of thing - particularly if his brain has been reprogrammed by the heroin-like erotoxins of pictures of nekkid women - is incapable of doing that job, or seeing women as anything other than power tools, etc. But the bottom line, here, is there are two totally separate issues- people doing (or not doing) their jobs, and what those people choose to do when not working. If someone isn't doing their job, for whatever reason, fire them.



And there it is, complete with the requisite scare quotes around "consensual", because we know no womyn ever REALLY consent to nasty, icky, oppressive things like PIV "sex".

Apparently this author thinks she's being extra-reasonable by grudgingly conceding that she can't, personally, be in charge of what the whole world does in the "privacy" (sigh sigh eyeroll eyeroll) of their bedrooms.. Nonetheless, those kooky libertarians with their fucked up libertarian arguments about how others shouldnt be in charge of what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms... are they craaaazay, or whut?

And wait a minute. Okay, so you dont want to tell people what to do, but you DO want to "address the behavior"

Um, i'll bite, then. HOW?



Holy conflate-a-palooza, Batperson! Okay, well, for one, when the VPD were found blah blah blah, what they were doing was NOT private bc it was interfering with thir PUBLIC jobs on the PUBLIC dime.

Sexual harrasment? Terrible, but again, not private, not consensual. Not legal.

Abuse? Not consensual, not legal, not on topic.



More to come, including some armchair psychoanalysis as to "why", in Part III. Stay tuned!
