Lillian B. Rubin Quotes
Interesting, Isn't It, That Even Though More Than Two And A Half Decades Have Passed Since The Sexual Revolution Brought Women A New Measure Of Sexual Freedom, There's Still No Word In The Language That Doesn't Reek With Pejorative Connotation To Describe A Woman Who Has Sex Freely. Since Language Frames Thought And Sets Its Limits, This Is Not A Trivial Matter. For Without A Word That Describes Without Condemning, It's Hard To Think About It Neutrally As Well. When We Say The Words 'promiscuous Woman,' Therefore, It's A Statement About Her Character, Not Just Her Sexual Behavior.
