Breaking the Illusion of Sexual Liberation
In a world where women are told they're sexually liberated, reality tells a different story. A teacher loses her job when a student steals her private nude selfie. A woman is murdered for politely declining a man's advances. Despite decades of supposed progress, most women still experience that familiar flinch of fear when male attention turns sexual. This gap between our cultural narrative of female empowerment and women's lived experiences reveals what Jaclyn Friedman calls "fauxpowerment" - the dangerous illusion of sexual freedom that masks continued oppression. Consider Shaunna Lane, who tried a private nude photoshoot to boost her body confidence. When an ex posted these images on revenge porn sites with her personal information, she paid $400 to have them removed - but they continued circulating, leaving her terrified to leave her apartment. Society's response? Blame women. Don't take nude photos. Don't dress provocatively. This approach accepts misogyny as inevitable while dividing women into "smart" and "foolish" camps, reinforcing the virgin/whore dichotomy that has controlled women for centuries. The sexual revolution promised freedom but delivered a world where women's sexuality remains "a volatile but precious resource that needs proper management." Even with contraception access, women found the revolution's promises unfulfilled. As journalist Virginia Ironside recalled, with pregnancy fears removed, men "continued satisfying their own needs without considering whether women found it pleasurable." Women lacked both cultural power and personal knowledge to demand satisfying sex.
