Inspired by Nettle Syrup's great post on female masturbation's challenge to patriarchy, I thought I would post this silly video. Full discloser: I am one of the "singers" in the video, and it was fully intended as silly fun. However, it was born out of a good conversation with two other women and a man about female masturbation, inspiring us to make a "song" to celebrate.
Just a note: it's probably not great to listen to at work.
Also, I think it's funny that this video has had several thousand more views than any of the other videos on my friend's account, and 7 of those people gave it one-star ratings. I guess they were expecting something different...

I understand the meaning behind it, but I just don't get it very much. The entire time, all I hear is masturbate! and a skeleton...can someone clarify me on this, or am I the only one who is a bit confused?
But I wish they hadn't said 'refused to artificially inseminate a lesbian undergoing fertility treatment' but instead used the wording 'inseminate a WOMAN under going fertility treatment, because of her sexuality' or, 'a lesbian woman undergoing etc.'. It's like if they were discriminating against her because she came from latin america, or if she were a muslim, hopefully it wouldn't read 'refused to inseminate a muslim/latina' instead of 'muslim woman/latina woman' or simply 'woman'. I always tend to take issue with the way articles bedroom furniture about women's rights are worded, because they so often use wording that disrespects women as individuals.
