In a conversation with a guy at work this week I was surprised to hear him say that chicks don't talk about sex but that guys do. Where has this man been? News flash - chicks like sex. Humans are programmed to get pleasure from sex but so many men find it surprising that women actually like it and seek it out.
Which brings me to a dilemma that plays in my mind. I love 'Shake That Ass' by Eminem and Nate Dogg. But some of the lyrics are kinda distressing ("looking for a couple of bitches with some double Ds... who'll sit in the crib with no panties on, knows that she can but she won't say no.... a girl that will do whatever the fuck I say, everyday she'll be giving it up"). It is a firm but funky reminder that men are really only after one thing. It's also an interesting dichotomy with other songs I love like 'Can't Hold Us Down' by Christina Aguilera and Lil Kim ("So what am I not supposed to have an opinion. Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman? Call me a bitch cos I speak what's on my mind. Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled") and 'Hard Out Here' by Lily Allen ("Don't need to shake my arse for you 'cause I've got a brain" and "If I told you about my sex life you'd call me a slut").
It is no secret that I love to dance. I even try to be seductive from time to time (note the emphasis is on try in that sentence). Does that make me less intelligent or independent? No. Does it make it okay for men to treat me solely as a sex object? No. Does it give them something for the wank bank? Probably. Does that matter? Not in the least.
