    huh i think that’s a good explanation actually. i’ve had similar thoughts myself but didn’t have the words for it so i called it “sexism II” (which you call “sex positivity”) to differentiate it from “sexism I” (sexism). It might be silly but i didn’t know how else to express myself.

    I also think that it’s noteworthy that the “reduction to a function” is something that happened to basically everyone in 1960, not just to women. Men were just as much “reduced” to being the “breadwinner”, which is a function as well. I think that’s not talked about as much because men don’t tend to talk about “being reduced to a function” as much. Some kind of “society forbids to complain” or sth.
