I, personally, identify as a "radical feminist" and certainly am not sex negative.
Just sayin'.
It always bothers me when I read broad, sweeping statements that lump everyone, no matter how we identify, in the same bucket.

The question in my mind has to do with what actually makes them inherently sexist? Is it wrong for a beautiful (or not beautiful) woman to intentionally have that type of photo made and published?
Maybe some of them have an exhibitionist streak in them.......and there is nothing wrong with that. Every one of us has looked at sexy photos of women (and men) and liked the photos and imagined all kinds of things while doing so. Does looking at pictures of almost to totally naked women, while thinking about all kinds of things, make me a sexist?
Certainly the radical feminists think so and they also are most certainly sex negative.

I quoted the whole post for clarity. I should have said '
certainly many/most radical feminists think so'. What I think of when I say 'radical feminist' is the anti-porn, no penetrative sex, no adornment (make-up etc), no males over 5 yrs old, separatist lesbian kind of femininst.
So what do you think about the questions I asked? Is porn inherently sexist?
