I have watched ton of female oriented movies.
And in most of these, if they want to show free liberated women , they show them have sex. As if having sex sets them free or something!

I know sex is form of liberation, but, by showing only this aspect, we are moving backwards. I get it. Women are sexually repressed , But , why show independent strong women as independent only when they have sex..?!

Why not show women who have control over their life in terms of job , money , family life , kids , travelling. There are so many things.

Just like how powerful women are shown as evil bitches, this is also a stereotype and cliche.!

I wish they would stop doing this you know

In a patriarchal society where people think women don't want sex then...
sex = liberation

Right now India's blocked condom adverts...
Women like Sunny Leone are still s**t shamed, or if people defend her, they'll say it was a mistake. Sunny never said her past was a mistake.
Women who are confident and free will have sex and enjoy it.

I think in some cases it is because of repression. But also to sell to the masses sex sells! So controversial too. Gets people talking, you know. But other than that I don't really know why that is? There are other things that are repressed in society, why not show that as well?
