While I do not condemn a woman expressing her sexuality, DISCRETION (there is that word again ) is key.

A majority of our meetings involve more conservative members complaining, and yelling at us about our behavior at parties, especially fraternity parties, and in particular exchanges (mixers). By behavior I mean PDA's and perhaps even going home with a guy, or taking a guy home. Now, unless you're making a complete fool of yourself, what's wrong with a woman expressing her sexuality? As long as she is safe about it, I don't think that a woman who has casual sex is a bad person. Hello!!! It's the 21st century, and we are now allowed to express our sexual freedom. Unfortunately, we're still stuck on the whole "you represent your whole sorority", and "we don't want to look like sluts" thing. I just think that it's time to move past this, to help our newer members to realize that today, it's okay... to do what you want, as women. Let's move away from the glorifying the male who sleeps around and ostrisizing the woman who does so.

Okay, I know this is a hot topic, but I just think that part of my feminism, is moving away from that part of the stereotypical mold of women. I don't know how well I explained myself, but I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks again guys!
