So this post, concerning fundie art and its use of sexual imagery, has been getting some attention on Pagan blogs. But what caught my eye was this statement: "A Mother's Love," as this painting is titled, shouldn't be expected to bear the standard of female eroticism.
Why?
Because there is something about becoming a mother that, in our society, renders a woman no longer sexual. How sick is that?
But does it serve the "needs" of the patriarchy? Absolutely. By making it "ok" for men who have impregnated one woman to go off and have sex with other women.
Why do you think they've promoted the whole madonna/whore insanity for so long?
I have, however, hope for the young people, who've made MILF a recognizable acronym.
