Look, The Most Fundamental Concept To Misogyny Is That The Female Sex Is Inherently Inferior To The Male

look, the most fundamental concept to misogyny is that the female sex is inherently inferior to the male sex. as cheapened and mocked as the term "patriarchy" has become, it literally refers to the system of assumed male supremacy which has perpetuated a social and political adherence to the myth of female inferiority.

"women are too irrational to be in positions of leadership; what if she gets her period or goes through menopause? women's bodies are dictated by unstable flux and a biological clock. their physical weakness predisposes them to domestic tasks and their ability to bear children means that's one of the few things the inferior female body is good for, just like their ability to be penetrated for male pleasure and reproduction means that's their primary function."

female socialisation, as complex and interculturally-diverse a concept as it is, at its core means the reality of growing and learning your behaviour from this ambient background that presumes your own inferiority. you learn (often without even realising) to act in accordance with this artificial sexist role, viewing yourself in pieces and parts according to their usefulness as resources to men, second-guessing your own capacity for anything socially deemed 'male' and minimising yourself accordingly. The host of behaviours this yields in women differs between cultures and times, but commonly includes forms of ornamentation, passivity, and servitude; these are then attributed to some innate female nature, piled on as further proof of our inherent inferiority.

perceptions of the female body are utterly central to misogyny and the feminist efforts to liberate us from it. pretending that the female body is irrelevant to misogyny – or worse, that these learned, socialised behavioural patterns are innate to some naturally-inborn 'female brain' – will never be an effective approach to fighting sexism and will actively hinder female class consciousness.

"I don't care if the women who partake in BDSM claim to enjoy it"

So you're literally telling me that listening to women's feelings and desires is misogynistic. Got it.

BDSM is not abuse because it is chosen, asked for, and negotiated. Safewords and others systems are in place to make you feel safe. You do it with a partner you trust. These factors make it completely different than abuse because of, yes, consent.

While there are cases where abusers use the label of BDSM to justify their abusive behavior, these situations are abuse and should not be considered BDSM. And this is not what the majority of people are talking about when referring to BDSM.

BDSM, and consensual sex in general, is empowering because it allows people to connect with their own desires and make choices based on these desires. Regardless of any pretend power dynamics, everyone is in control of the situation.

It may not be your personal preference, but consenting adults can do what they want to do in their own time.

When you have grown up in a violent misogynistic environment where women, including your own mother, were regularly beaten by their husbands, the increasing popularity of BDSM seems particularly disturbing. I don't care if it is consensual, I don't care if the women who partake in BDSM claim to enjoy it. You are emulating the abuse that thousands of women suffer daily for sexual gratification. And that's perverse. You can scream about consent all you want. At the end of the day, you still find the abuse that my father inflicted on my mother sexy. You still find sexualized violence sexy enough to be emulated. Yes, that makes you a bad person.

top 5 things people should know about sex

sex doesn't ever have to involve penetration or even genitalia if you don't want it to.

the lack of an orgasm isn't necessarily a sign that the sex was bad, and the presence of one isn't a guarantee that the sex was good or even wanted.

wanting or needing any kind of aides during sex - vibrators, other toys, more lube, pillows to prop up parts of your body, etc - is totally fine and doesn't mean that anyone isn't "good enough" as they are.

there's no guaranteed trick to make yourself a better sexual partner except for subjecting yourself to the mortifying ordeal of being known and just talking to your partner(s).

statistically speaking whatever you think is weird about your own body or sexual proclivities is probably pretty average.

Men in porn always so desperate for validation. "oh you like that cock? You like my cock?" go to therapy dude
