Dear friends,
I knew it was only a matter of time before this would happened. FB has restricted me explaining that Dr. Elders was fired by Clinton for disussing masturbation and immediately after they dinged me owing to discussing sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. Neither of these comments were salicious in any way, but there seems to be a coming down of the hammer on issues that are feminist focused, regardless of how innocuous they appear.
Please support feminist run media. Please support nonprofit, open source, and free media.
Ths following is the post that restricted me. It was AI, it was not reported as the restriction came immediately after I put it in a Feminist group that I run:
The Dr. Elders backstory, in case you were not alive. This was a HUGE big deal.
“At a 1994 United Nations conference on AIDS, Elders was asked if she thought teaching children about masturbation might reduce unsafe sex. Yes, she replied, “I think that is something that is a part of human sexuality, and it’s a part of something that perhaps should be taught. But we’ve not even taught our children the very basics.” The conservative outrage circuit erupted, and Clinton promptly asked her to resign.
In Sticky: A (Self) Love Story, a new documentary that takes the revolutionary stance that touching yourself is not a cause for moral repulsion, Elders defends her position. “I felt it would reduce unintended pregnancy and reduce disease,” she says. (She was saying that schoolchildren should learn that masturbation is natural and common—not that they should be taught how to do it, she later clarified.)”
I have to see this:
