“The Madonna/whore complex casts a wide influential net that can convince many (women especially) that they “can’t” or “shouldn’t” be both mothers and sexual partners.”

“Priya’s parents’ Hinduism seemed to present conflicting views of sex: […] What people don’t know about the Kama Sutra is that it’s actually a text that … very heavily caters to Madonna/whore complexes. That it’s actually quite misogynistic. And that it’s actually catered more for male pleasure and … males always will have the upper hand according to the Kama Sutra.”
