Why Feminism? Isn't Feminism encouraging women to have more sex i.e sexual liberation, nudity is no longer a taboo, women are no longer constrained to a single man, all that jazz?

My understanding is that Conservatism encourages family values but at the cost of having less sexual partners (for example no sex before marriage) whereas Liberalism encourages the opposite.

That was 50 years ago, they are probably talking about how feminism changed since then.


Sex-positivity is still the dominant belief system amongst modern feminists.


Another controversial point, but it is not a secret that sex is more a man's thing. Give women more "powers" and the outcome of less sex should not come as a surprise.

But reality is of course more complicated ... so don't blame it on one reason.
