The rest of the bit cited here:

“Everyone thinks of me as this horned-up pop star, but there’s really so much more to me,” she quipped. “I’m not just horny. I’m also turned-on, and I’m sexually charged, and I love to read. My favorite book is the encyclopedia. It’s so big, and it’s hard.”

Whatch’all think?

Is this sexual liberation, regressive, or should we just let women be horny?

    By all appearances, she is in control of her narrative. She can do as she likes.

    The system that profits off of women expressing anything sexual is where any judgement should be cast.

        I am unaware of a way to turn human remains into plastic. You can make hair into something like plastic though, by using lye to break it down. We would have to find some other environmentally responsible thing to do with the meat and bone bag part of the capitalist remains.

          I’m no chemist, but I think you can turn any organic matter into hydrocarbons and turn any hydrocarbons into oil and turn any oil into plastic.

          It’d be more environmentally friendly and less crinkly sounding to simply skin and tan their hides to stretch over our beds.

        Public service announcement for Canadians (and not spam, I gain nothing from this,) Pinkcherry is having a massive sale, including the good shit, and shipping is free country-wide.

        Couldn’t be any more timely because one of my meds makes it near impossible to get off but the other two give me plenty of motivation to keep trying. My wrist sounds like a cement mixer.

        I think that would be great actually. Destigmatizing sex toys for women is still a work in progress even with sex toy brands being as pervasive as they are. I think it’d be interesting to have some recommendations from real women who have nothing to gain from steering you one way or another. I don’t personally use them, so I don’t have much to add to the conversation, but I think it might help someone.

    Humans are generally horny. It’s not my cup of tea, but if she enjoys making everything about sex then she should be free to do so. It’s not like we didn’t have Britney and Xtina doing the same thing 15-20 years ago, or Madonna before that ya know?

      A big difference is how much Madonna alluded and suggested to sex, while Carpenter comes right out and says “I want to fuck.” I suppose that’s a matter of different eras and different sensibilities. You’re right the outrage is about on par between them at the same stage in their careers.

      I, for one, am so very pleased to see some positive changes on the sexual liberation front.

    She’s young and healthy, of course she is going to be horny. I know I was when I was her age.

    As an asexual woman, I love that Sabrina Carpenter has been able to express her sexuality in a way she wants, that shows how it makes her life more enjoyable, instead of the all too common thing where women are sexualized for the benefit of men.
