2013: A Year in Vaginas (Maybe NSFW)
How Casual Sex Became a Privilege of the Rich: It seems like the New York Times Styles section is always revealing how completely out of touch it is teaching us something new. Case in point, this past July, the Times discovered something shocking. Young women like to have casual sex. Let me give you a minute to recover from the shock. Here, I’ll even give you an extra minute so that your vagina can recover from the shock. All better? Cool. Despite the fact that young women have (just like young men!) wanted to have casual sex forever, this article was worthwhile if only because it revealed the huge privilege gap when it comes to just which women can freely engage in casual sex. As it turns out, like with so many things in this country, how wealthy a woman is directly corresponds with how much freedom she has…even when it comes to sex. And so, not only has 2013 been the year of the return of the bush, it’s also been the year of the privileged vagina. Yes. That’s a thing.
