You've really reached the desperation point when you begin praising someone for being "sex positive." We're all sex positive. It's how we express it. Rita Hayworth in "Gilda," Michelle Pfeiffer in "The Fabulous Baker Boys." Madonna in the "Vogue" video. These are sensual, shimmering performances. Cardi B has decided to undress on stage and do potty mouth talk because it's made her a star. She's down in the gutter with the likes of Marilyn Manson and Kid Rock, a pure embarrassment. And this ain't pearl clutching, just good taste.

I think you have badly misread our puritanical culture if you think that everyone is sex positive - and I'll remind you that many of your reference points for the past were also accused of being too sexy or pushing the limits of good taste at the time. It's fine not to like what Cardi B is selling, but you're judging her level of sexuality by your standards of what is or isn't appropriate and calling that taste rather than comfort level.
