Shots taken by many male photographers are completely selfish, communicating no understanding that women have a right to have sex or even to be sexy! Instead, women are his babettes, his toys, his pleasure — and so are her images.

The message is clear. We were put on this planet to titillate and excite men and we certainly shouldn’t enjoy sex. There is a hardness, a cruelty about such shots, a message that women should know their place and it isn’t to be powerful, orgasmic sexual creatures the way we need it. That would pressure him, when we exist to relieve.
