I’m gonna keep going on the porn v real sex post btw cause I think it very neatly ties into what’s happening with book bans.
Parents of children know their kids are being exposed to sex at exceptionally young ages.
But parents of children also don’t or cannot admit that the way their kids are mainly being exposed is through items in the home: iPhones and iPads, streaming services, even quite explicit music on the radio or Spotify.
No parent wants to have to change something fundamental about their home has been running for years, like replacing smartphones with flip phones or putting time limits on non-homework computer use.
So they turn to the schools and the public libraries as places where teenagers are getting “porn” by banning books like A Court of Thorn and Roses.
But here’s the thing - a book does not have real people being really degraded. A teenager reading a “spicy” novel is still using their imagination even while consuming a book with sex in it. No one was harmed in the making of that book. And unless that teenager is literally finding fairies or whatever to have sex with (lmao), then reading that book at 15 is probably not going to have the same effect on the brain that we’ve been seeing happen to young brains and violent porn consumption.
And I wish it were appropriate to somehow bring this up at a book banning administration meeting without sounding like a crazy person.
Your daughter probably isn’t gonna be ruined by reading Philip Gregory romance novels from the public library. But there’s a very real chance your son might start choking out his first girlfriend during sex from watching violent porn on the smartphone you bought him.
If you put every sex scene in every book in a public library together, it would still pale in comparison to the violence being inflicted on women in even one porn video any 12 year old can find on his iphone.
And it doesn’t escape my notice that it’s usually girls who are exploring their sexuality through romance novels, and it’s boys who are consuming violent online pornography, and only one of these things were the subject of news headlines all summer about schools turning children into over-sexed perverts.
We as a society are really missing the mark on what we actually should be concerned with right now.
I just don’t think even a book series like the Southern Vampire chronicles (or whatever they were called) has even a 100th of the impact vs a single night of Pornhub streaming.
are the gyns playing Pokémon scarlet/violet? I went with violet and picked sprigatito as my starter
yessss my sprigatito girls 😍 yeah idk I know some of the graphics are sketch and people have been having frame rate/glitching/crashing problems but my game has actually been running really well!
Leave Black women the fuck alone. Its fair for women to compete against other women because we are the same sex. I don’t give a fuck how skinny and scrawny a man is, he isn’t female so why should he be on a woman’s sports team or competing against us if its supposed to be single sex?
Also, interesting how they use a photo of Serena in which they’re clearly attempting to portray her as an “angry black woman” whereas the white man is flouncing in a skirt. Why not use a photo of Serena where she’s just walking since you used that image of Dylan? We all know why.
And I don’t have the benefit of the doubt for people who make comparisons like this. This feels racist and weird in my gut. Serena is simply playing her sport in the image, but the reason it rubs me the wrong way is they’re basically saying “well if black women can compete against women why can’t men.” The reason why Black women can compete against other women is because they are women you dumbass!!! Im sick of the blatant fucking racism. Stop comparing men to Black women. Its so incredibly racist and misogynistic. And they’ve used a photo where Serena is making a face I just know this idiot deems “aggressive’ whereas the white man is all "dainty” since he looks like he’s about to trip over. Its so god damn blatant and I don’t give this person the benefit of the doubt at all.
THEYRE SO FUCKING RACIST
:// wdym it’s not fair to compare a flattering image of a man who doesn’t work out to an unflattering image of a female olympic athlete to imply that men have no biological advantage over women? y’all really have to reach in your attempts to make it seem like men have no size or strength advantage over women. how about you try comparing photos of “lady” dylan with someone with his level of physical training (ie none), hm? here, i’ll do it for you!
if you can’t see the difference here, it’s because you’re fucking racist. also, the reason serena looks so big to an outside perspective is because she has a bit more weight to her than the average tennis player–unsurprising, given she is literally a mother who has been pregnant and given birth. anyway, we should compare her only to other athletes, instead of random scrawny people who have probably not exercised since high school.
again, if you can’t see the difference here, it’s because you’re racist.
Shouldn’t it be pregnant people and ejaculators/sperm sprayers.
Why do people constantly forget their inclusive values halfway through typing a sentence. Why is this 50% inclusive language phraseology now it’s own genre of communication. Is it worms? Is it shit for brains? What is going on.
The fact is, they protect transwomen from being associated with male functions they find unsavory while both women and transmen are spared no indignity and dehumanization. How can y’all be so unabashedly hypocritical and unfair. Have y’all no shame.
Every single time this happens and women point it out it’s absolute SILENCE from gendies. It’s one of the few instances they absolutely have nothing to say. No counter argument. No explanation.
Also absent every time it happens is any admission that it was wrong, a mistake and or an error. There’s never any vow to do better. They know it’s not an error and this what they fully intend for language to be like now.
Very this. The socio political implications of them being the ejaculators, particularly when so many of them are “lesbian” transwomen is something they are going through insane lengths to suppress and deny.
what would your ideal job/responsibility be if you were living with a group of other women on remote land? what special skills do you have or want to develop that you feel would be useful? serious and not-so-serious answers welcome 💕
I’m really bad with power tools, but I can use a hammer and screwdriver and stuff, so I could do regular maintenance. I’d like to learn to do more things so I can move from maintenance to repairs
I can also do light mechanical work on cars, so I’d like to learn more and be the resident mechanic
I can do a little plumbing as long as it doesn’t require putting a hole in the wall (tho if I had someone to repair the hole, I could do it)
outside of all that, I can do financial bookkeeping. even remote land wouldn’t be 100% off the grid, so I imagine we’d have bills to keep up with and stuff.
I will absolutely not be in charge of a garden in any capacity because then our food will die
