Are feminist generally "anti-sex"? [View all]

That's what I am getting from reading some posters here on DU.

I'd like to say, that I enjoy sex very much. I enjoy my husband and I have enjoyed my sexual past. I am not a prude. I just want some RESPECT. I think that Women in general ( in these times ) don't receive it.

Women are consistently sexualized.. we are in the low totem pole on health research and development. Women make less money, are forced to deal with issues regarding child birth.

WTF? Is it possible to RESPECT a Woman?

Jaysus! Is that too much to ask?

So tell me... Feminists.. is sex bad?
