Women of our generation still heard that "sex is awful evil and you should save it for someone you love" crap, but then we got Cosmo and lots of sex advice. I read about JOng's "zipless fuck" in her book on a plane when I was sixteen.
And most of the young women I know are even more empowered to want good sex. They have no problems discussing their sexuality.
But for some reason, a great number of men around our age are stuck in some time warp. They enjoy telling us we are "clueless about sex" as a way of shaming, like we are all their mothers or something. We should take their unasked for advice cuz they is teh experts on all things sexual!
We should enjoy and embrace the males' sexuality, according to these types, but we shouldn't expect that we would actually KNOW anything about sex ourselves. GAWD forbid we should talk about it, because some guys can view porn 24/7, but can't seem to handle an actual conversation about sexuality. Which seems to imply they feel some "ownership" of human sexuality.
Of course, an object knows nothing and is silent, passive, so they reinforce what we are saying while remaining clueless to their own harmful stereotypes.
