Women and Sexual Exhibitionism

Sex, Feminism, and License in the Modern Age

Since the sexual revolution unleashed on and by the boomer generation, America and Western civilization more broadly have been subjected to increasingly intense forms of female sexual exhibitionism and excess.¹ After the boomers were finished fucking in the mud and dropping acid at Woodstock and elsewhere, there was brief but flawed respite in the 80s. Particularly since the mid 90s and early aughts, the propensity for sexual exhibitionism accelerated and intensified in any number of ways, and did so in many ways that surpassed even the 60s. Indeed, the acuteness and severity of such moral decay has only compounded with intensity, particularly with the advent of social media like TikTok, Instagram, and the like. Such sexual exhibitionism is expressed in two forms in particular, notably revealing attire that at times borders on indecency as well as a slut culture in which young women not only seek carnal delights in ways that once only characterized certain men, but profess and broadcast such proclivities publicly and shamelessly.

Women who defend titilating attire at the gym make their arguments on two points. 1) Women have a “right” to wear whatefer they want. They also cite certain advantages with yoga pants and leggings. Conduct by many suggests otherwise, as does having heart shape patterns to accentuate a woman’s assets.

Provocative and Even Indecent Attire as Sexual Exhibitionism

The first prong of female sexual exhibitionism pertains to exceedingly revealing and at times indecent attire. This trend has become most controversial in gym and other settings, both in “real life” day-to-day interactions and on social media as well. More and more, young women see fit to go out in public in yoga pants that reveal every contour of her ass and vagina, or tops that reveal cleavage, including exposing nipples through sheer or transparent fabric. And then they have the audacity to object that men so much as look at such a spectacle. There is even a subgenre of short videos on TikTok, Instagram, and the like in which young women film themselves wearing such attire, highlighting moments in which men so much as glance, let alone make any sort of remark, whether playful, flirty, or more direct. In response there have been videos and other content that decry such trends, explaining the many obvious ways in which such conduct is unreasonable and even malicious in an obvious calculation to chastise men for reacting in entirely predictable ways to such provocative attire and conduct.

An assortment of memes on this very matter.

Beyond what is derisively referred to as the “gym thot,” there have been similar scandals in other every day settings, such as women wearing such attire on airplanes and then expressing outrage and indignation that entry was either denied or questioned, or that men happened to notice with a glance or comment. In the clip reproduced below, an English woman films herself while stretching and bending over in hot pink yoga pants and captures a passerby who makes a fairly innocuous remark. Admittedly this was likely done to gauge any interest she may have. But this is hardly a crime and indeed such initiative is essential if people are to develop romantic relationships and propagate. Insofar as her TikTok account has over 700,000 followers at the time of this writing, she used it as an opportunity to feign outrage and embarrass the young man in front of hundreds of thousands if not millions of viewers. These and other trends contribute to a climate in which men are increasingly recalcitrant to approach young women.

As bad as these trends are, such developments arguably reach the height of absurdity in the modern American workplace, both in relation to how so-called “hostile environment claims” are evaluated and the policies “human resources “ departments have adopted in response. A recent development both in employment “discrimination law” and corporate culture more broadly is known as the “reasonable woman standard,” a play on the elusive and somewhat silly “reasonable person standard” that is foundational to tort law, The so-called “reasonable person standard” attempts to define the duty of care that determines whether a tortfeasor has committed tortious negligence by comparing the actions in question to those of a supposed “reasonable person.” In the backdrop of this “reasonable woman standard” as well as various feminist diatribes, an increasing number of workplaces make little inquiry as to the appropriateness of female work attire if a woman complains about a mere glance or clumsy remark. Instead, the onus is placed exclusively on male co-workers. Such ridiculous “standards” render not just staring but even glancing at a provocatively dressed women as grounds for discipline or even dismissal. By this absurd and ridiculous “standard,” a buxom woman in peak fertility can be dressed in a sheer, partially unbuttoned blouse sans brassiere, nipples protruding through the fabric, with a tight skirt above the kneel, replete with open-toed strappy heels and a fire-engine red pedicure and silver ankle bracelet. No such scrutiny is directed at such inappropriate attire. Rather, the scrutiny is directed solely and squarely at any man who so much at looks at what evolutionary psychology has programmed his brain to notice and seek out.

Finally, such sexual exhibitionism is particularly noticeable in trends in nightlife over the past 10-15 years. Young women are increasingly dressed in exceedingly shocking and revealing attire. This too has been documented in various social media accounts, but usually from third party entities. It is demonstrated in particular in an especially regrettable genre of social media, in which persons go up to random women—as random strangers—and ask them all sorts of lewd and sexually charged questions. The general trend of provocative and indecent attire for nightlife, though regrettable, is not generally bound-up in the sorts of misandry related earlier, although there has been outrage that persons dare to film persons going out in public.

Above and below, various images of young women spotted at various night club settungs in Great Britain.

Regrettably, this trend of sexual exhibitionism is also exhibited in the context of school attire, and the fight over sex-based dress codes. Feminist interests and entities like the ACLU decry any sex-based dress codes as sexist. Such objections, like the “gym thot” phenomenon and other examples, are willfully blind to actual, real differences in the sexes and how sexually alluring and even indecent attire elicits a number of physiological responses in men. Such responses range from increased heart beat and even involuntary dilation of the eyes, to certain other obvious physiological responses that need not be mentioned explicitly for any wise, worldly reader. Despite feminist tenets insisting to the contrary, a young man, even a well-muscled young man, in a tank top is just fundamentally different than a young woman in tank top sans a brassiere.

The fundamental difference between men and women in relation to such exhibitionism is perhaps best exemplified by instances in which various female celebrities, known for their sexual allure, have exposed their genitalia, probably intentionally. Three such examples include Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Amanda Seyfried, all of whom have flashed their vaginas before cameras, with “wardrobe malfunction” offered as an excuse providing plausible deniability that should fool no one but the exceedingly gullible. Such instances of indecent exposure are simply fundamentally different than a man who commits acts of indecent exposure. One obvious distinction is that these women are (or were at the time) young, highly desirable (Lohan and Seyfried much more so) just as these women enjoy high status by way of celebrity renown and wealth. Such circumstances are yet another consequence of this appalling Unkultur that pervades us all, but these circumstances are undeniable. That Amanda Seyfried is unquestionably at the very tippy top of female sexual allure and desirability is an important factor, but it is not dispositive. A far less desirable woman in her 40s or 50s who exposes herself in a similar manner still would not be dealt with in the same way as a man who exposes his genitals in public.

It should be so obvious as to dispense with mentioning at all, but a man, even a handsome, virile fit man, who exposes himself in such a manner is regarded very differently by society, including criminal sanctions for indecent exposure.² Very often such conduct will result in criminal charges for indecent exposure and even compulsory registration on a sex offender list. Part of this stems from social norms that stem from biological differences between the sexes and how humans are a sexually dimorphic species. Men generally do not wear dresses and skirts, although of course Scottish men do wear kilts on certain occasions, such as Scotish festivals and the like. The main, dispositive factor however is that such exhibitionism by a woman is simply different as men and women are different. A woman who engages in such sexual exhibitionism can, depending on how attractive or unattractive she is, come across as either titillating of skeevy, but never really threatening, whereas a man who does this is rightly seen as a threat to public safety.

The comparison to the lovely and alluring Amanda Seyfried flashing her ass and vagina in Paris to inappropriate gym or club attire may seem inapposite at first, but such instances are properly discerned as part of the same continuum of crass and overt female sexual exhibitionism. The difference is only a matter of degree. Seyfried’s flashing is at the extreme end of that spectrum, but gym halter tops exposing nipples, yoga pants that present a woman’s ass like a baboon in heat or the outline of the vulva elicit the same involuntary, physiological reactions in men. And while no woman truly, perfectly understands what male sex drive is like in adolescence and young adulthood, they do have some imperfect understanding of such phenomena, even as they cry out as victims when receiving the sorts of attention that inevitably arise from such exhibitionism, from glances mischaracterized as stares to young men having the audacity to approach such women at all.

Signaling Sexual Profligacy and Libertinism: A Loss of All Propriety, Decorum, and Discretion

Increasingly brazen, outrageous, and at times indecent female exhibitionism in terms of attire—or lack of attire—is coupled and compounded with another sort of exhibitionism, in which young women and women more generally have abandoned any sense of decorum or propriety in public. As with exhibitionism in terms of attire (or lack of attire), this pertains both to “real life” situations in person and social media. Society is awash in young women talking and bragging about their promiscuous and even ultra-promiscuous and profligate behavior, and doing so with no shame or subtlety whatsoever. Such behavior runs the gamut from conversations overheard in restaurants and coffeeshops to an assortment of social media phenomena on TikTok, Instagram and elsewhere. In some corners of the Internet, such conduct is known as “high body count signaling.”

Haliey Welch at the precise moment of her viral infamy. It is peculiar indeed that most of these social media accounts creating such content is most if not all seem headed by black or brown men.

Although many keep insisting that her fifteen minutes of fame are over, perhaps the most immediate example of this phenomenon is Haliey Welch, better known as the “Hawk Tuah” girl. All readers should be well aware of who this pernicious figure is in the so-called culture, but for anyone not aware, Welch is a young woman who was interviewed by two black men who run a prominent social media account that creates content by interviewing college aged and other young women along Nashville’s Broadway strip. Typically, they ask these women salacious and sexually charged questions. These men asked Welch and a friend—on camera—what they do sexually to make a man “go crazy” in bed. Welch’s response was “you got to give him that Hawk Tuah and spit on that thing, you get me.” Welch became an internet sensation for a few days, and pulled all the stops to try and monetize such internet fame, including appearances with Bill Maher, an attempt to create a podcast, which since failed, as well as “Hawk Tuah” themed Halloween party favors and many other things besides. This culminated in a “rug pull” bitcoin fraud scandal which finally forced this woman to remove herself from the spotlight.

This odious genre had already existed on social media before, but Welch’s legacy has only served to further popularize and normalize not only such conduct but the proliferation of clone social media accounts that pretty much offer the same schtick. These range from “DaRozie” to “Sloshed on Broadway,”³ as well as others. A recent clip on DaRozie features a very alluring blonde woman, almost certainly a sorority girl, loudly and obnoxiously proclaiming a particular affinity for anal sex, especially when menstruating. The spectacle is rendered all the more troubling as she attempts to mimic Ebonics and black slang. Worst of all, she seems to be the bride-to-be as she can be seen wearing a veil underneath her cowboy hat.

This sort of crass sexual exhibitionism has become pervasive and is observed in various other contexts and social settings. A middle-aged woman in Edmonton flashed her breasts at an Edmonton Oilers playoff game last year, the clips of which were seen millions of times, before she was featured on some iteration of Bar Stool Sports. Somewhat less infamously, a middle-aged woman was caught on a “fan cam” at a Denver nuggets game while the very dated“Gonna Make You Sweat )Everybody Dance Now)” by C + C Music Factory was playing. Instead of waving or smiling, she started mimicking fellatio on more than one man. To underscore that men and women are indeed different, imagine the negative reaction if a man were to mimic cunning lingus by making a “y” shape with his middle and index finger and then mimicking performing oral sex with his mouth and tongue. The same disparity is of course discerned in many other, similar male analogs for such exhibitionism of female libertinism.⁴

The dire significance of this cultural and sociological phenomenon cannot be overstated. We live in a society where complete strangers can approach attractive, alluring young women about the seediest of subjects, including whether they like anal sex or not, what their preferred penis size is, and so on and so forth, and instead of getting a smack in the face, a critical mass of women will not only respond, but will respond with the raunchiest responses in front of a camera, to be seen by tens or even hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions: a society in which frumpy middle aged women mimic performing fellatio in a group sex scenario at what is ostensibly a family-friendly sportsball venue, and hardly any one even so much as bats an eye. In relation to the “hawk tuah phenomenon,” there is of course a most peculiar discrepancy whereby so many are quite responsive to such questions by strangers, seemingly because they have cameras and have established social media accounts, and yet balk at so much as a glance or passing remark from regular men.

This propensity has been accelerated by the rise of social media in the 2010s’ and the sudden ubiquity of pornography that had gripped society in the late nineties and the turn of the millennium. An important precursor to this trend is of course Sex and the City, which has regrettably wielded considerable if not incalculable influence on succeeding generations of women since the late 1990s. That show, quite bluntly, has ruined several generations of women. The show is replete with examples of the four women talking about sexual escapades in public, not just at bars at night but even restaurants where families might be dining and, just as importantly, adults who do not wish to be subjected to such conversations. One subplot of one celebrated episode, “The Turtle and the Hare,” concerns Charlotte’s purchase and use of a rabbit vibrator and how her contentment and satisfaction with masturbating with this device has diminished incentive to socialize, not just with the other three women in the group but in other contexts as well, including what could charitably be called dating but is more aptly described as raw sexual libertinism. Notably, this episode includes prolonged although perhaps not quite graphic discussion of masturbatory habits and preferences, including use of vibrators and dildoes in public, all while eating at a diner during daytime hours. The particular discussion at a diner is not had in hushed tones or whispers, but loud and boisterous voices that carry.

Readers fortunate enough to not have watched this series should watch this montage of this subplot. The discussion depicted above is had in loud, boisterous voices, replete with laughter and giggling. An intent to be overheard and impose on others is inferred from the inevitable consequence of such behavior.

Some may decry that Sex and the City is fiction, but such objections in no way address the monumental and deleterious influence it has had on society and women most particularly for over a quarter of a century—that life often imitates “art.” Moreover, anyone who lives in an urban environment in particular can attest to overhearing such conservations in everyday settings. Even in the late 90s, one could see in certain urban neighborhoods young women walking around places like grocery stores or bookstores carrying bags with the lettering and logo of sex toy shops, with the size and contour making the contents blatantly obvious.⁵

In the early aughts, groups of women, from older housewives to college aged women, were known to have what were euphemistically known as “pleasure parties” or “passion parties” in which one woman selling sex toys as part of a mid-level marketing scheme would exhibit sex toys to a group of friends for purchase. These were essentially a clone of the Tupperware mid-level marketing phenomenon, but with dildoes, vibrators, and the like instead of food storage containers made of rubber and glass. More recently, and even more troubling, major drugstore chains and even Walmart stores now openly display an assortment of dildoes and vibrators on a particular aisle according to how any particular store is organized. During the same period of time, more and more women consume pornography—and declare it openly and publicly. Some accounts indicate 44 percent of women now partake in this vice, with 83 percent having watched it and a quarter of those women having watched it before the age of 13. There has also been an explosion of gynocentric smut that hardly qualifies as literature, as that term is properly understood. Women who partake in such fare do so with no less decorum or discretion than is conspicuously exhibited with the other proclivities enumerated above.

Tawdry behavior goes well beyond shamelessly publicizing proclivities for masturbation and a connoisseur’s expertise on the nuances and advantages and disadvantages of various sex toys. Groups of single and perhaps even less than faithful women routinely talk about sexual escapades at brunch and other public settings, including whether they had sex with this or that guy on a first or third date or any other lewd, lurid discussions about their sex lives. Such chatter has become a normal, even banal part of urban life in many American cities.

Society’s tepid reaction to this sort of impropriety is once again brought in sharp relief by comparing and contrasting how such behavior by men would be responded to. It is admittedly happening with greater frequency, especially in online venues like reddit, but men generally do not talk about their masturbatory habits with other men, especially with other friends. Although such social norms are eroding, any such behavior would not be seen as trite or scintillating, but disgusting and weird, both from most other men and women alike. With celebrities and very wealthy men as unfortunate exceptions, the same consideration applies to any hypothetical man who talks about sexual proclivities in the lewdest, most crass manner possible, as women on Nashville’s Broadway strip and other party hotspots do for various social media accounts and amongst themselves that seem almost calculated to be overheard. As stated, however, this is changing. Yours truly has seen men walking about with attire that declare certain proclivities for pornography, masturbation and so on, including one individual who was wearing a tshirt with the Pornhub emblem while walking in a park on a Sunday afternoon. Admittedly, most of that behavior is most noticeable on various online platforms, including so-called goonerism, but it is spilling into “real life” scenarios as well.

That increasing numbers of men are losing any sense of decorum or discretion in what is in fact a remarkably intimate sphere of any individual’s private life is disconcerting. It is also another indicator that more and more men are becoming feminized in very extreme ways. Women ruined by Sex and the City and other such elements in the Unkultur who yap with one another about what sex toys they impale themselves with is something uniquely and perniciously feminine. Such proclivities also signal the fluid nature of female sexuality in the abstract, in which all women have at least some bisexual tendencies.⁶ That the normalization of such behavior of women is crossing over into how an increasing number of men conduct themselves is a most unsettling harbinger indeed. Aside from feminized, porn sick men talking about their masturbatory habits in public, such feminine thinking is infecting certain men in other ways as well, including the rise of cuckold fetishes and polyamory. Whereas women are generally attracted to male promiscuity and men having sexual and romantic success with other women, just as social proof and preselection are key drivers to female sexual attraction, men generally do not regard female promiscuity in the same way. In sharp contrast to the sorority girl who openly boasts in “The New Math on Campus” that her promiscuous fraternity boyfriend fucked five or six of her friends “that she knows of” and sees it as validation, most men would prefer that any sexual conquest or actual, long-term girlfriend not have slept with any of his friends, let alone a veritable handful. It is this key, fundamental difference between male and female sexuality that makes male acceptance of polyamory or cuckoldry as a fetish in men so disconcerting.

Seeking a Balance Between Prudery and Profligacy

Some will insist such objections are nothing other than naked misogyny. Others will accuse this author of prudery. Still others will question why any of this matters at all, citing the tiresome dogma that “what consenting adults do” is no one’s concern. In anticipation of such criticism, a disclaimer eschewing prudery seems in order. The problem (arguably) has very little to do with a woman like Kristin Davis owning and using a vibrator, or a man taking a prurient interest in such a scenario, either as a spectacle before other carnal activities or in application of a certain, favored Latin term. Some opposed to the sort of libertinism championed by the left may disagree, but white men and women must have lustful thoughts for each other. Sexual desire and the will to sex is at the heart of the mammalian essence and, indeed, the life force itself. But such sexual energy must be tempered and controlled by countervailing considerations, first and foremost decorum and discretion, as well as an emphasis on long-term relationships geared toward marriage. Keep such things in the bedroom, where they belong. Kiss, as well as so much more, but do not tell, or least confide in hushed whispers. The lack of such decorum and discretion has led to the regrettable state where fewer and fewer women are at all ladylike, just as fewer men come anything close to what could be called a gentleman. Whether lewd conservations about sex toys or one nights stands, whether in relation to sex toys on open display in the aisles of chain drugstores, or any number of instances of “high body count signaling,” it is both bizarre and unsettling to see so many women engage in such sexual exhibitionism. As stated before, this becomes all the more obvious upon the mere consideration of how analogous conduct by men would be regarded.

Nor should this essay be construed to endorse the absurd proposition that women should dress as 19^th century Quakers, or be interpreted to endorse or excuse Muslim restrictions on female attire. Young, attractive women dressing in ways that are becoming, alluring, and even sexy is a net benefit to society. But as with the two extremes of sexual prudery on one hand and abject sexual profligacy on the other, there has to be balance. Yoga pants that reveal every contour of a woman’s ass and even the outline of her vulva are far removed from that balance, particularly when these insufferable sorts have the audacity to complain that men react or even so much as notice in entirely predictable ways. The same pertains to some of the truly outlandish, slutty attire scene from the London nightclub scene to the Broadway strip on Nashville.

Much of the reaction against such sexual exhibitionism is also out of balance.

Sexual Profligacy and Exhibitionism and Their Harmful Effects on the Individual and Society

With such qualifiers and disclaimers established, these trends are deleterious to society in a number of different ways. As has been argued before, what others do affects everyone else. The coarsening of culture and society, the free-fall plunge into abject vulgarity and depravity matters. This sort of exhibitionism smacks of a sort of iconoclasm that defines modern feminism, replete with a pernicious contempt for men. It is truly remarkable that young women, particularly “e-thots” on Instagram and even OnlyFans expose themselves in quasi indecent—and sometimes de jure indecent attire—and then feign hostility that men dare notice with so much as a glance or react in any way. Such a mentality reveals the misandrist undertones of both such behavior and the license such women take in expecting such behavior to be free from any consequences or any reaction they disapprove of whatsoever. That many of these women insist they are entitled to such license also reveals the selfishness and even nihilism that defines modern feminism and far too many modern white women in this day and age.

Such license and the underlying assumptions underpinning it also pertain to not just promiscuous but hyper promiscuous behavior, and the outrage they express at the mere suggestion that such behavior should carry consequences. Those assumptions are that young women should be free to do whatever they please, whenever they please, regardless of how it affects others or what effects such profligacy has on greater society, all without any consequences whatsoever. Consider for example how so many of these women balk at the mere suggestion that, once they are done riding the cock carousel, most men will take a lesser interest in women who have a “high body count” in assessing a woman’s suitability as a long-term girlfriend or even wife and mother to be. Consider also the feminist insistence that such women should have absolute, unrestricted access to abortion on demand, an admittedly necessary precursor to female sexual libertinism. How dare anyone suggest they should close their legs rather than kill so many unborn fetuses, or that their selfish nihilism is a direct cause of a demographic winter that will, if left unabated, kill Western civilization in very short order. And if someone so much as glances at them in yoga pants that leaves nothing to be desired or makes a playful comment, may he be eternally shamed before millions!

Beyond the harmful effects of what could charitably be described as feminist nihilism, the unremittent, seemingly inexorable coarsening of society matters, as our tolerance of such behavior only serves to normalize and in turn encourage such behavior. This, as has been stated before, defines deviancy down, and leads to even more undesirable behavior. Tolerating and even encouraging such behavior in women ensures more and more women will act this way. This is demonstrated in the erosion of many of the basic norms enumerated above.

Aside from serving as an attack on any sense of decorum or discretion, these trends have deleterious effects on society in other ways as well, eating away on core values like a terminal cancer. First and foremost, women are consensus driven in ways above and beyond their male counterparts. As has been explained before, however, what is perceived as individual choice is far more limited than the Anglo-American “philosophical” tradition supposes. People are exceedingly conformist in ways we can scarcely fathom. In addition to the critical concept of Geworfenheit, which stipulates that external factors define the individual and individual choice in profound ways, there are other phenomena such as social contagion, peer pressure, mirroring, and other factors demonstrating that people are far more like a school of fish than most are comfortable admitting. Women however are susceptible to these traits on an entirely different order. The consensus driven nature of women is particularly susceptible to what the most alluring and desirable women do. A few of the women in these lewd interviews on Nashville’s Broadway seem like they could infect the unwitting with sexually transmitted disease simply by looking at them through a computer screen. Such specimens are unlikely to influence women on a macro scale, although such media does desensitize and acclimate society to such behavior. Many of them, however, are, alas, exceedingly desirable. A critical mass of women follow the lead of the women who are the most desirable, alluring, as well as those with the most social status, perceived or actual.

The woman on the outside left declared an affinity for anal sex. When asked how many men she has had anal sex with, her reply was “plenty.” The Woman on the middle right stated a desire to have lesbian sex with Christina Aguilera, although such an encouter would be her first sapphic encounter.

As explicated at length in “Culture and the Sexual Marketplace,” this has profoundly negative effects on the sexual marketplace. It creates a higher “cost,” for lack of a better term, on men in their attempt at finding a suitable companion. And when such trends become mainstream and typify sexual norms and mores in ever larger numbers of young women, it creates both a moral and practical dilemma, as set forth in that essay:

When large numbers of young women succumb to the “generation slut” ethos, their male counterparts can either compete with their peers for an ever-smaller pool of suitable, virtuous, but still attractive women not subject to such vices, decide that—in this age where love, beauty, and honor have all but died—the best recourse is to mitigate damages, sow wild oats of his own and seek sexual comfort where it avails him until he finds true love, if he ever does, or embrace celibacy for a prolonged, indefinite period of time while subject to intense sexual urges attendant by high testosterone experienced by healthy young men. Because of the ever-diminishing supply of suitable female companions, the least fortunate are nudged into involuntary celibacy.

As many readers are doubtlessly well aware, female promiscuity begets any number of social ills in other ways in addition to encouraging and even creating such behavior through consensus driven conformity. Female promiscuity—or indeed hyper promiscuity—is intrinsically linked with birth control and abortion on demand. This consideration reveals how tolerating and condoning such behavior is a central driver of the demographic crisis that threatens Europe’s very posterity. “High body count” is further linked to higher divorce rates, failed long term relationships, infidelity in both marriage and long-term relationships. as well as lower propensity for either sex in finding and keeping meaningful relationships. It should also be noted that a multitude of studies indicate women have never been more unhappy than they are under the auspices of modern feminism and the forces of abject libertinism.

Perhaps the most pernicious effect of these trends is how they reinforce the childish, delusional assumption that men and women are interchangeable, that differences in sex—and gender—are merely social constructs. Promiscuous behavior in women as well as sexual exhibitionism in women is fundamentally different than it is for men, and is so for a wide variety of reasons, as set forth in this essay. Whether manifested as provocative or even indecent attire or the crassest conduct and conversation imaginable, sexual exhibitionism is not only different for women than it is for men, it is so dissimilar as to be of an entirely different order, so much so that sexual exhibitionism and libertinism for men and women should be denoted with different words entirely. That difference is (or was) connoted in different words for male and female promiscuity: compare and contrast “cad” with “slut” or “slag.” That such tasteless and ultimately destructive behavior is tolerated and condoned is nothing less than tacit acceptance that undesirable behavior is somehow the same for women that it is for men. It most emphatically is not.

The future of European civilization depends at least in part in dispensing with such mad delusion. Both men and women must be suitable for long-term relationships, marriage, and in most instances, child-rearing, and be so suitable on a sufficiently large scale to restore the balance in the sexual and dating marketplace. Fulfillment of this crucial objective alone will do much to counteract the demographic winter that stands as one of the existential threats against the future of Europe and her posterity. The harmful effects on how men and women relate with each other (and do not relate with each other) is also a key, critical factor in the dystopic nature of society that has developed in the modern age. The manner in which such female exhibitionism and libertinism has defined deviancy down is antithetical to this essential, prime directive. Admittedly, few if any have not beem tainted in some way by the sexual profligacy and pornographic culture that enevelops us all. There is likely no “clean needle in Junkyland.” All of us may indeed be in the gutter, but when vanishingly few women even consider looking up at the stars, both society and posterity are threatened in ways that can scarcely be imagined.

1. It should of course be noted that neither the boomer generation nor those individuals belonging to it conjured such cultural expressions from a vacuum. Those cultural trends, as is axiomatically the case, were fostered and promulgated by a consortium of cultural elites and cultural institutions innovating these trends.

2. Feminists, including especially so-called “male feminists” will balk at this assertion. One interesting case-study concerns Christina Revels-Glick. Revels-Glick was arrested in July 2021 on Tybee Island, Georgia, for using a vibrator under a towel on a public beach. The police body-cam video of her arrest was made public and soon went viral, a source of great personal embarassment She committed suicide by shotgun blast in March 2022, after which charges were dropped. While the shame of the arrest and subsequent publicity contributed to her tragic death, a man committing the identical act in the same circumstances would almost certainly have faced much greater social stigma and likely much stiffer criminal penalties as well. Research indicates Georgia does not require sex offender registry in such cases, except in cases of repeat offenses or “visible genital exposure,” which are upgraded to felonies and mandatory sex offender registration (under O.C.G.A. § 42-1-12).

Just as many of the comments and posts make light of her actions while others express a prurient interest in her actions, a brief internet search for “Christina Revels-Glick” reveals many feminist-oriented articles and blogs asserting all sorts apologia for her actions. One such piece asserts that she should never have been arrested at all, that masturbating on a public beach was somehow “private,” and even that the woman (a mother with children) who filmed the incident and complained to police ought to have been charged—for what precisely was never stated. No apologism would ever be proffered for a male engaging in comparable behavior, and nor should there be. But excusing or diminishing such conduct when done by a woman is also unacceptable.

3. This publication does not wish to contribute to view count. Readers can use a search engine to discover these accounts for themselves.

4. A perfect analog that bears on all points is difficult to conjure. One reason this is so is that the most immediate male equivalent to female sex aids is pornography, although more women are partaking in this as well. In relation to drugstores now having sex toy sections prominently displayed, the audio commentary to Se7en came to mind. In one portion of the discussion, the screenwriter, Andrew Kevin Walker, commented on how John Doe is distinguished from normal people by an inability to absorb and tolerate outrageous or offensive behavior. Walker gave two examples, a bum panhandling and someone looking at a Penthouse or Hustler while on public transit. The movie was released during the dawn of the Internet, so a more modern example would be someone watching pornographic content on a smartphone. That however would display graphic if not obscene sexual content. A better example might be a man reading a pornographic novel in public, a lewd past time that women are also being quite exhibitionist about.

5. I saw this on more than one occasion some time ago in the urban environment of my adolescence and young adulthood.

6. The only men who would ever express interest in the masturbatory habits of other men are either homosexual or bisexual. It follows that this propensity in modern, liberated women to commiserate on such things is grounded in the fluid nature of female sexuality and bisexual tendencies that arise from this fundamental different between women and men.
