Consent isn't the worst framework for sexual politics but I do think the focus specifically on explicit consent was only ever appealing to people who cling to procedures more tightly than morals.

like if we're already making out shirtless on the couch in my apartment it's safe to assume I'm not going to consider it *assault* if you touch my genitals without asking first, even if i'm not in the mood that's on me to say something to stop it from going any further. what are we doing here.

admittedly some people are human doormats who don't speak up when they're not enjoying something and just passively go along with whatever. but some people are also human doormats and lie when you ask if they're enjoying something. it seems counterintuitive to cater only to the first demographic and not the second, and in either case the problem really lies with the human doormat themselves.

orson welles was 25 when he directed citizen kane. steve jobs didn't start apple until he was 21. bobby fischer didn't become grandmaster until 15. mozart didn't even compose his first symphony until he was 8. you have time.

[scoffs] You couldn't PAY me to jack off to Brian Griffin! [remembers the state of the economy] Well, you could, but it would have to be a four figure amount. [remembers to be honest to myself] Three figures. [remembers not to devalue my own labor] Four figures.

NEVER MIND, I FOUND IT!!!

after a couple hours chopping dried sea urchins into tiny pieces with a razor blade you start referring to the razor blade as yourself in your thoughts. a little while afterwards you'll inevitably think something along the lines of "i'm getting a bit dull, i'm going to have to throw myself out & get myself a new self" at which point your internal monologue has pretty much returned to baseline

"materialism" is a really funny word/concept on the face of it, like, what do you mean you need a special word for "politics based on observable verifiable things actually happening In Real Life". and then you look at the stuff materialists are criticizing and go "ohhhhh okay"

as someone who studies this: statistically speaking, child abuse (including “spanking”, because all forms of hitting children are abusive) is pretty much equally prevalent in households of all racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. so yeah, don’t let people use the “culture” excuse on you, but also, don’t believe others are experiencing it less just because it’s less normalized in their culture to talk about it. we all gotta work together to fix this shit.
