The common extremist view of gay people is that "homosexuality is sexual deviance". Right wing extremists think that's bad, and left wing extremists think that's cool. But the reality is that homosexuality is a natural human variance, and it isn't sexually deviant.

eating disorders and abortions are two things that are like, spoken about in most mainstream discourse as though they are pretty rare and aberrant, but then when you’re actually friends with a lot of women you come to find out that they are extremely extremely common and kind of banal & mundane

Same with rape and SA. Like 80% of my female friends were seriously assaulted. I feel like it's more like oh wow you didn't get touched on?

sex work fans love to ask you to compare prostitution to other jobs but refuse to compare it to other types of sex. if you take away someone’s food and say you’ll only give it back after a blowjob it doesn’t sound very consensual does it?

The irony that you're literally proving sex workers' point without realising. What you're describing is literally any job, you do the work to not starve.

if you are coerced into stocking shelves not to starve, it’s annoying. it you are coerced into giving blowjobs and having sex not to starve, it’s rape

Ignoring the ultimately dismissive part about "stocking shelves," like capitalism, doesn't actually destroy people's bodies and minds, I don't disagree that a lot of sex work falls under rape. But you guys don't actually care about keeping women safe. You demean the women who do sex work. If it was about protecting women, you would criticise the men and support decriminalisation rather than attacking and shaming women who do sex work.

but the OP never shamed prostituted women. she said they are coerced, and therefore raped by their "clients", because any amount of coercion in sex does mean that it's assault. free informed consent is not present in sex "work". and i put it like that ("work") bc it's just sexual exploitation disguised as work.

the way ppl talk about latinas is kind of very gross if I'm being honest

they're like reverse Asians bro they're all stacked and they're fiery mamacitas who you can break like a horse and make into domestic servants who love family

"bro I need a big booty latina" bro I need you to kill yourself

im surprised that men managed to make a stereotype out of countries that are literally the most mixed countries in the world. especially brazil. like there are ALL kinds of women here EVERYWHERE you go, how THE FUCK did you even come up w "ah yes latina means big butt and curly hair and having attitude". brother that's not even true for a great chunk of us

So many women have internalized the idea that being difficult makes people think less of them, when in my experience the opposite is almost always true. Every single time I have spoken up, voiced what I actually need and refused to shrink the moment in order to be more comfortable for everyone else in the room, I have been approached afterward by people who wanted to know me better. There is no reward waiting for you on the other side of making yourself smaller. People do not love you more for taking up less space, they simply get used to you taking up less space and adjust their expectations accordingly. Every time I have been exactly as audacious as the moment required, it has opened doors rather than closed them and I have made real connections directly because of it rather than in spite of it.

the idea that every summer will be as hot if not hotter than this for the rest of my life is unbearable i need to (remembers suicide jokes are bad for my mental health) murder an oil executive

haters will be mad bc you said women and didn’t mean men
