On November 10, former Miss California Carrie Prejean shocked the world, yet again, when footage of her sex tape was leaked. For those who don't know, Prejean supposedly lost the crown after the controversy she created during the pageant when she stated that she believed marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Fast forward a few questionable photos and eventual dismissal--she was fired because she needed to support "marriage" (whatever that means). Her sex tape (apparently one of many)--were she masturbates for her boyfriend when she was 17 and all hell breaks loose. Again.
Now as a feminist, I do not support Prejean's believes on marriage. Not even a little bit. But it really bothers me the coverage that this sex tape is receiving. Yes, she was 17. Sure, she is supposedly a good Catholic girl who by definition shouldn't be having sex (did anyone even believe that after those first pictures came out?), but I don't think that this is the underlying issue.
Why is it that society is so scared of a woman's sexuality? Why couldn't she make a sex tape for her boyfriend, or for herself for that matter?
