to fullbladder :You don't understand 196X+ women. They considered an erect penis not "disrespect", but a recognition of their beauty and sexual attractiveness.
And yes, in ordinary life they could well be emancipated, independent, free women... But they did not let politics and other bullcrap into their sex! Even when they dominated men.
Because they were free women of a free people. Free from both mossy traditions and pseudoscientific ideology.
