Shakira. She can be erotic but not sink into whoredom. I don't think "X-Tina" can do anything vaguely related to sex without becoming a slut. Plus, Shakira has inner beauty, strentgh,intelligence and grace (she started a charitiy for colombian children for christ sake!) and Christina is just a shell "stuffed with fluff" like winnie the pooh. At the beginning of her career, she was the favored by intelligent people because she wasn't as slutty as Britney was. But now she runs unnopposed for Slut Singer of the decade.

the media Mongols are a bunch over sex-crazy bozos, if the world was really an equality for all sexes zone it would never be like that. women are put under a lot of pressure to look a certain way just so some man can have a wet dream.

well, if the words to the song were about a man instead, would it be considered sexist?\n\ni think the issue of whatever gender a song lyric is addressed to does not matter, its about a certain type of person, rather than sex isnt it?

Here are a few that I've heard (not that I believe or endorse any of these):\n\nFor men:\n- They use the "flop" hand gesture.\n- They all have higher voices.\n- They all dress very well, and generally have a good eye for art and and interior design.\n- They are more sensitive than other men.\n\nFor women:\n- They are "butch" in comparison to other females, both in terms of appearance and personality.\n- They are radical feminists.\n\nIn general:\n-They are more promiscuous than heterosexuals.\n- They all have STDs/AIDS (this one is especially used against men, but I've heard it said about women, too).\n- They are mentally ill, and can be "cured" of their homosexuality with the right therapy.\n- They're lazy.\n- The only reason why they're homosexual is that they've had bad experiences with people of the opposite sex.\n- They party too much, and they're irresponsible.\n\nRemember, these are stereotypes! They cannot be used to define the homosexual community.

I think it has a lot to do with the culture.  I see this in teenage boys a lot - they are taught that to be men, they need to have sex with as many different women as possible.  A lot of music videos consist of the male band members surrounded by a bunch of scantily clad models dancing suggestively.  Hugh Hefner is a status symbol.  Boys are told they need to "sow their wild oats."  There's this attitude that women are there to be used sexually.  \n\nBoys are brought up to be "tough," because, of course, as everyone knows, men are logical and women are emotional (this is totally flawed because both sexes have the capacity to be emotional and logical).  From early age, boys are expected to surpress their emotions, not to cry, not to want to cuddle with stuffed animals, not to show anything to deep.  This leads to a disconnect of sex and love - sex is just a biological impulse, something that feels good and has no other purpose.  Anyone who tries to teach that women need to be repected as human beings, and that boys need to learn that it is okay to be sensitive, are accused of being "politically correct," "feminazis," or "yogurt-eaters."  So nothing much changes.\n\nIt's a shame, because it does both men and women a disservice and a lot of hurt.  Thankfully, it seems a lot of men do grow past this "screw anything that moves" stage and learn that having a lasting connection with someone is more valuable than a series of one-night stands.

"Sex, Religion & Magick\n \n     When the academicians of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries began to seriously investigate religion -- the origin and development of the "major" creeds, the ancient cults, and the practices of modern folk religions -- they discovered to their progressive shock, embarrassment, and even titillation that the most ancient and omnipresent of all religious symbols are apparently none other than male and female sex organs. \n \n\n     Certainly, to us nowadays, it seems quite logical and natural  that a humanity still close to the world of nature in which its cultures had evolved would find genitalia apt symbols for the source of all life. After all, the sexual process is key to the creation of each individual human life and to the survival of the entire species; what could be better to represent the origin of all life and being, or to show people their direct connection with this divine spirit? Even when the overt reference was obscured the succeeding symbols of worship often partook of this basic identification between what's often called Godhead and that vital generative force which is at the core of life in our universe (beyond even male and female, being both at once, and both in one).\n \n\n     Whether it be Sun or Moon worship, rock or tree worship, snake or bull worship, it can still be traced back eventually to a veneration of the forces of virility and fertility. Even the so-called Sky gods are usually accompanied by their phallic symbols, Olympian thunderbolts, Norse hammers, and Tibetan dorjes, not to mention Chaldean swords and Chinese dragons. Likewise, many of the earliest rites of worship used both public and private sexual acts to invoke the blessings of their deities; some even used sacred prostitution to exalt both their spiritual deities and their material fortunes in a manner which well befits the era before the rise of sexual hypocrisy as a principle of civilization. Also widespread were dancing, blood sacrifices and feasts, and the sacramental ingestion of mind-altering materials of highly varied types (the most commonly known today include: alcoholic fermentations, cannabis preparations, and hallucinogenic mushrooms, cactus, flowers, and bark). \n \n\n     As "universal" theologies and clerical classes developed, the symbols of the sexual energy were retained in things like the Christian cross and Shaivite lingasharira, but the ritual practices around sexuality became almost exclusively focused on control and sublimation rather than power and celebration. Still, this control might express itself quite differently among the various "sophisticated" (that is, politically dominant over wide areas) religious traditions. The most fanatical expressions of control came from those religions which, while they subsumed the sacred sexuality on a sub- or unconscious level in their symbolism, in their conscious attitudes equated sex, even physical existence itself, with filth and evil. At their most extreme these sects exalted self-destruction as the holiest of acts.\n \n\n     But for a religion to survive with any social power the society in which it exists must itself survive. Therefore any religion which seeks that long-term power will have to come to some accommodation with the fact that most of a society's people must engage in at least some sexual activity in order for that society to continue to perpetuate itself (this is especially so in eras of high death rates). The Christian's highest ideal of sexuality may well be that which was expressed by Jesus himself, "For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.", but even here the sentiment is immediately qualified by the next sentence, "He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."

I would have to say the reason would be that females have always been considered pure and good like the "Virgin Mary". While males on the other hand  have all kinds of evils that are related to them. I wouldn't let it bother you, the names given to females for the same acts is "Old World Thinking". Female sexuality has only begun to become socially accepted. Just remember to always practice safe sex.

I think it's over-rated (ha ha) XXX.  However, I also feel that it desensitizes people.  I think sexx ed films would be best.

I would have to concur Melissa Ethridge, Rosie O'donell,& Ellen Degeneress are possible lesbian icons. But, I'll throw two more probables Chastity Bono  and Elton John.........\nWomen are that group though that don't hold up icons for value or role models. And lesbians from the ones I know are even stronger and are just as happy not having to support an icon.
