"I think Julia is defining a new feminism. It's the power of the open heart. And it's OK to be sexual"
About this Quote
Then comes the second move: "And its ok to be sexual". He’s not describing sexuality as complex or contested; he’s insisting on its acceptability, as if the real barrier is shame rather than exploitation, double standards, or who gets to define "sexual" in the first place. The subtext is protective and slightly paternal: I, a recognizable male voice, will validate this woman’s sexuality as compatible with empowerment. That validation is both the point and the problem. It feels supportive, even progressive in a culture that loved to punish women for desire, but it also centers his comfort as the measure of liberation.
What makes the quote work is its simplicity: it’s built for radio, for sound bites, for a moment when feminism is being repackaged into something palatable - heartfelt, sexy, nonthreatening - and therefore marketable.
