Sex Positivity Would Be Good If It Was About Destroying The Current Sexual Culture And Building Up A

sex positivity would be good if it was about destroying the current sexual culture and building up a healthy new one that doesn’t involve the sexualization of children, abuse, rape etc. but as of now it’s just dressing up the same harmful cultural norms as radical and progressive and ignoring the bad parts about it because that would mean people would actually have to analyze their behavior and that makes people uncomfortable

rape convictions should be life without parole. 1) their victims will never be safe if they are let out onto the streets again. 2) many rapists are serial rapists. 3) killing another person can happen in the heat of the moment by accident, with excess use of force while not intending to kill, in a situation of mutual aggression, or in self-defense or defense of others. but rape is unambiguously malicious and intentional–always committed in cold blood and never by accident. if you think anyone can be ‘provoked’ into rape, your humanity needs to be reevaluated.

The Will To Change by bell hooks fucked me up good

fun fact: any religion that takes the power of creation and life from women and gives it to men or to a male coded being, is inherently misogynistic

(Don’t forget that in all of the above situations, once you get old enough that your beauty fades the guy can just toss you out for a different young woman– since it’s beauty and youth that are the defining traits here in what makes her special– but he can be as old as he wants, because that’s “attractive” in a male, right? Only in a male though). Also, I think that in almost every one of those cases, as usual the woman has left everything in her life behind to move to where the guy is, and she goes on to shape her life around what the guy is doing. 

She did a good job pinpointing the aspects of a lot of these that have bugged me from the get-go. I really dislike Disney in general, there’s a wholesome, God-fearing corporation. It’s a corporation. It’s not some loving and nostalgic bit of your dearest memories. A corporation knows it had done a good job when people refuse to see it as such a thing and instead think it’s some loving old friend. 

It’s always been sickening to me that around the late ‘90s Disney basically repackaged a bunch of their old films that no one really cared for as the “Princess Collection,” because at the time it was trendy to wear stuff that said “princess” on it. Fascinating how the masses just ate it up, and suddenly they cared for these movies no one was really interested in anymore like Snow White and Cinderella. I know, you will now say “I have always loved Snow White/Cinderella!” (which are extremely sexist stories in the first place, you want a medal?) - but if you did, then you were probably a kid after the “Princess Collection” garbage already came out, so saying that you were into it at that time doesn’t take away from my point. I remember when I was a kid in the mid/early-’80s and Snow White was re-released and it just seemed really dated and uninteresting to us as kids. We were bummed that we had to see it instead of the Garbage Pail Kids movie. But call it part of the “Princess Collection” and suddenly everyone is begging Disney to take their money again. 

Men have such a need to be "logical" at all times. Like "of course she's not the most beautiful woman in the world, there's always going to be someone more beautiful" how much a of a dick do you have to be in order to feel Special because you're so ~logical~. Same thing with men constantly feeling like they've got to be devil's advocates.

Yeah it’s very much a gross unnecessary way for men to talk about how the women in their lives are less conventionally attractive (and to them therefore less valuable) than whatever more conventionally attractive woman who is willing to take their place. I feel like a lot of men are in relationships with women they feel they can or at least want to “do better than.” So they’re just constantly half assing what they give the women they’re in relationships with while waiting for the next “better” woman to come along. also like I’m gonna be honest beauty is fake. There’s no one woman everyone in the world could agree on being the most beautiful. The singular most beautiful woman doesn’t exist. Once you break down racist, classist, misogynistic, etc. ideas about what beauty entails you’re left with a very different understanding of what defines a woman’s beauty and worth. Idk like I just can’t imagine thinking the woman you’re supposedly in love with isn’t fantastically beautiful. Absolutely cannot and will never relate!
