Trusting women also means trusting them to find their way. This isn’t to say, of course, that I think women’s sexual choices are intrinsically “empowered” or “feminist.” I just believe that in a world that values women so little, and so specifically for their sexuality, we should be giving them the benefit if the doubt. Because in this kind of hostile culture, trusting women is a radical act.
