Emily Ratajkowski published an essay in The Cut in which she describes, in explicit detail, her sex life after divorcing Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2022. The 35-year-old model confesses that she went from being a “Madonna” to embodying the “whore”: a sexual villain who drank gin martinis and dated men without fearing what people would say. 🍸
For some, it is an act of brutal courage. A woman who faced a public betrayal, single motherhood, and the fear of others’ judgment, and decided to reclaim her sexuality without apologizing. For others, sharing those details—including intimate encounters described almost cinematically—crosses a line that not even feminism justifies, especially with a young child. 👶
Is Emily Ratajkowski the example of empowerment that some women needed to see, or are there things that simply should not be told? 🤔
