When I posted my backlash piece in March, two things happened— everyone wanted me to talk about it & people were heavy with judgment. I must have written about it now a dozen times and have gone on countless podcasts about it.
People are clearly hungry for reactions (not reactionary) to sex positivity.
And the reactions, I think, will and already have spawned a cottage industry. You already see people building careers off it but it seems to have a much different texture than standard issue anti feminism stuff. Complicating this is, of course, that a lot of the messaging is true and *needed.* Nonetheless I fear the grifting bubble that’s inflating.
It’s a very hard topic to write about.
