It always bothers me when I read broad, sweeping statements that lump everyone, no matter how we identify, in the same bucket.
I also Identify as a radical feminist and I don't think I'm sex negative. I'm positively positive about sex and naked people in general. And looking at pictures of almost totally naked women (and men too) while thinking about all kinds of things doesn't make someone sexist in my radical feminist opinion. However the way that women and their bodies are sometimes used is at the very least sexist.

I guess what is sexist can occasionally be a difficult call to make. When misogyny is rearing its ugly head may be open to interpretation. Yet when is a decision not influenced by society's sexist and misogynistic opinions and expectations of women is perhaps an arguable never. It's impossible to live in our society and not have cut your teeth on sexism and misogyny.
