You make a lot of good points here. The only small point I would maybe haggle about is that I don't think the OP was referring to people talking about sexual fantasies with a small group of close friends, I think she (I'm assuming it's a she, can't be sure) was referring to more general open forums.

I think that a lot of women feel very empowered by the freedom to talk more openly about sex that has come about fairly recently, and that is a good thing. The irony, of course, is that talking about sexual fantasies to someone who doesn't feel comfortable hearing them is a form of sexual harassment. Of course, it's really only considered such if the victim of the harassment can't stop or avoid the "conversation", and the harasser knows that the other party feels harassed and continues. Nobody (that I know of) is forced to read forums.

My wish, however, is that women would use their new found sexual liberation responsibly, and consider the feelings of others before they overshare. In the case of movie forums, it's less about harassment and more about...just not being an ass. Such frank talk doesn't really bother me personally, especially not online, but I understand that it does really bother some people, and really, some forums are better than others for that kind of talk.

This discussion doesn't really affect me personally either way, but I find it intellectually interesting. Personally, I don't really think that an affinity for sleazy "locker room talk" is a male or female characteristic; I think it really depends on the person more than anything. And some people really do use it aggressively, loving how uncomfortable it makes other people (often of the same sex) who can hear them. Certainly there are guys who don't feel comfortable engaging in this kind of talk with other dudes after gym class or sports or at a work party,etc. And for guys there's often added pressure to fit in and not look like a "fag" or whatever, (and what if they are gay? that's even more of the AWKWARD) and so on and so on.

ANYWAY, I'm rambling (like usual), but my point is that the freedom to talk about sex openly is a double-edged sword, which we women get to learn more about every day (yea?).
