Comments on: Carnival of Feminists #56 http://www.redemptionblues.com/?p=283 Abstract: Autobiography or confessional? The title is not plagiarised from the literary offering by a certain Mr. Tim Griggs, but that of a short story that has been languishing in my archives for over ten years, an ironic comment on the requirement in modern Western society for a female to be attached and the difficulties in attaining this state of “bliss”.

What utter rubbish that at menopause, women stop having sex. Talk about age-phobic! Do the self-labelled 'sex-positives' believe their own rhetoric, that sex is ONLY for the hawt young sexy people? That their generation 'invented sex'? That they are the 'experts' on sex? Many women have an increase of libido after menopause, probably due to the risk of pregnancy being removed. The other thing is that by calling themselves the 'sex-positives' they automatically label radfems as 'sex-negative' what utter BS. Our objection is pornography, and the harm it does to women and girls, both directly and indirectly. Stop trying to infer that radical feminism is 'anti-sex'. Thank you redemptionblues for hosting this carnival.

Some are women in menopause, or have other reasons for not boinking" So are women in menopause not allowed to have sex? Because they're too old maybe? Or because the purpose of sex is reproduction? WTF? “not even all us sex positives have sex. Some are women in menopause, or have other reasons for not boinking”

So many blog carnivals I read are slapped together and it is painfully obvious that the host has not even read the submissions. I wonder why they even bother. It was a pleasure to read through your commentary and thoughtful reflections on each and every entry. Thank you. I must confess however, that I we have very different views on the abortion question. I am a firm believer and advocate of abortion on demand up to and including the 80th trimester. I feel honored for being included in this great collection.
