and there it is. ignore what is being said, and only state the "mantra". ignore the many angles the problem is addressed and only state the "mantra". throw in prude too, or anti sex to diss a womans sexuality, as you insist anyone addressing the issue is "slut shaming" or taking womens "choice" from them.
