Reddit mentions of The Story of V : Opening Pandora's Box

I had been anticipating this video, expecting the worst. I expected ContraPoints to throw feminism under the bus and to come out as an anti-feminist, but this wasn't remotely as aggressive as I expected it to be.

Also, you might want to check out this book. Women have a history of flashing their crotches. At one point in time it was considered a good omen for a woman to flash. It was also considered an effective way to ward off evil or enemies, so once upon a time women's genitals too were "weaponized".

I understand that this "cabaret" aspect of these videos is not everyone's cup of tea and could come across as intentionally crass or offensive. I totally get it, as a fellow radfem, that you would look at this and only see objectification and humiliation. I have seen a lot of contemporary ballet and performance art over the years and am a bit desensitized in that regard, but I totally respect people who are unfamiliar with these art forms and are just completely put off. I found it rather amusing for example that ContraPoints would wear Mardi Gras necklaces and flash their pixelated titties in one of these videos. Yes, probably no woman would ever want do that in the midst of discussing a serious point in a Youtube video (though there is plenty of flashing of other body parts in YT videos by women), so in behaving like that ContraPoints is primarily flashing their very male gender privilege to do something wacky or outrageous and still be taken seriously as a person making a point. At the same time, isn't that flashing a gestural commentary on either socially acceptable or transgressive behaviour with regards to both men and women? If ContraPoints is able to flash and still get their point across, are they to blame for society being so receptive to that kind of exhibitionism? I am not discouraging you from being offended. I respect your feelings. You are probably a better feminist than I am for being offended. I just would like you to see how people seeing the humour or implied commentary in these images might be reading (into these images) something other than merely humiliating aggressive intimidating objectification.
