We’ll find you Amanda.

If you want to, please reblog and put your answer and where you're from! I'm curious to see if different parts of the world have different words for this foodstuff. I know that, even in the same region of the USA, we have different words for this.

It really is sad. I found someone recently who I've been talking to, and he has a psych degree like me. He completely understands and agrees with all of my arguments about being anti-sex work, anti-pornography, and why gender ideology is harmful. And not just agree, but he has meaningful conversations about those topics and discusses peer reviewed research with me. And I was so shocked to find a man like this exists. That's how low the bar is. If you are a man who respects women and understand how sexual industries further oppress them, you are already a huge outlier.

I think I was technically the one who brought up the sex industry first when I was referencing a paper I wrote in undergrad about how pornography influences attitudes of violence towards women. We ended up having a pretty in-depth discussion about society and prostitution and pornography and I would say basically kind of both agreed on all the major points. He mentioned a professor he'd had who had done a lot of research on the topic and that was how he initially came to be somewhat informed about it (but he didn't say any of it in like, an arrogant way, we were just having a respectful discussion). The next day he texted me "so last night you were talking about how society tries to frame porn as empowering for women when it's really the opposite, and I felt we had a relevant prospect at work today" and then he proceeded to tell me about how this new client at his job (something to do with digital advertising) wanted a site that functioned similar to OnlyFans where she could "protest" a certain topic by selling explicit photos of herself... protesting. Then we had a whole discussion about how the idea of nudity being empowering became more and more common over the last 20 years and how everything is sexualized etc. And it was just nice, you know? To have a man engage and listen and agree but in a way that tells you he is just as invested in the issue.

And here is how I know he really means what he says: 2 or 3 dates in, I was feeling overwhelmed and like I could not keep up with work, overtime, friends, laundry, cleaning, cooking, AND a romantic relationship at the moment. So I told him that, and explained that I was probably going to keep picking up shifts at an insane rate and trying to pay off loans and save up for at least the rest of the year. So I asked if we could just be friends instead and just see where life takes us over the next year. And you know what he said?

"Okay, that's fine." And since then, we've hung out several times, and he has completely backed off physically and romantically.

I wish we had women only cities. And before you call me out and say that gender segregation isn't the long-term answer to dealing with men, consider instead the long-term positive effects a place like this could have for the women who lived there.

An entire city with apartments and houses and gyms and schools and outdoor spaces which are all only for women. Victims of domestic violence and sexual assault could have a place to heal. Every woman could go to the gym without being harassed. All of the stores would be women-run companies with ethical supply chains. We could have a ban on beauty advertisements (which isn't to say there would be a complete lack of things like hair salons or makeup being sold, just that there would be no models on billboards or on posters in public places imposing an unrealistic ideal). We could have clinics and hospitals with all female staff.

And we could create all the things we like about the rest of the world but take away the misogynistic parts so that we could truly enjoy them. For example:

-we could create Anime and films that don't sexualize every female character.

-we could have bars and clubs for dancing where people could wear what they want and no one would ever get groped or hit on while trying to have fun with friends

-we could recreate so many aspects of healthcare but in far more efficient ways that cut out the capitalist gains and the bias against women and instead focus on actual health issues

I think about this all the time and I just think it would be a wonderful place.
