Lesego 'Coconut Kelz' Tlhabi slams men who police women's bodies.

She said men can't stand sexually liberated women because they like to “force it out of us”.

“They like having to coerce it or force it out of us. Anything else and we’re ho*s. They want us to be freaks but also virgins. It’s gross and we need to stop giving them air time on our bodies and lives,” she said. A word: Men don’t like women who are enthusiastic about sex. They like having to coerce it or force it out of us. Anything else and we’re hoes. They want us to be freaks but also virgins. It’s gross and we need to stop giving them air time on our bodies and lives.Tlhabi also clapped back at a troll who quoted US singer Beyoncé about how women should behave in public and in private.

“I don’t [know] what Beyoncé‘s words have to do with me but this is also nonsense that being sexual isn’t being 'ladylike'. What an antiquated term as well. Ladylike is subjective and patriarchal bullsh*t and isn’t related to how we choose to celebrate our bodies or enjoy sex,” said Tlhabi.
