A lot of harm could have been avoided if trans activists didn't bully medical and psychological professionals out of doing their job. "Everyone who says they're trans, is trans and should be believed." Well, no. They could be socially influenced They could have emotional problems and trauma They could have body image issues They could be autistic They could be facing adolescent fears and pressures re sex and gender They could have a sexual fetish They could have a pushy parent and be a victim of munchausen by proxy They could need anti-psychotic drugs and mood stablizers They could have a neurological problem that has altered their perception. They could be depressed, BPD, anxious, avoidant, narcissistic Genuinely why did activists just say words they pulled out of their ass and doctors responded with "well, ok" with no further research. That was insane.
from “the case against the sexual revolution” by Louise Perry
If you identify as female, why are you taking the perspective of a male?
i think the takes that have gotten me the most hate on here are:
children are people and it’s not appropriate to randomly insult them
smoking etiquette is generally context dependent and “this is rude” isn’t the same as “this is an unforgivable sin”
it’s not women and minorities’ fault that white men become nazis
That’s crazy imagine if there was a gender of people who’d been systemically oppressed and subjugated for millennia, told they were the root cause of evil in society, told they were objects and not humans, raped killed and abused, enslaved, banned from some forms of artistic performance because their existence was “corrupting morals”, stripped of their bodily autonomy, and blamed and used as the scapegoat for every single problem in the world. I’m sure they’d also collectively become horrible hateful bigots with no care for any other human too, right? Oh wait. Huh. That’s weird. They’re not.
I hate Reddit
there is a subreddit called guysbeingdudes that is always front page, with videos of men having fun or doing funny things and men in the comments acting like it's unique to men. so, someone, presumably women, created justgalsbeingchicks and letgirlshavefun to have a sub for the same thing of women just having fun, but it almost immediately got swarmed with men who have completely taken over it, and now any post of it on the r/all page is either sexual shit like 'let girls go stupid on the dick' 'me when he cums inside' or memes and videos revolving around negative misogynistic tropes and stereotypes, posted as 'haha, women are so dumb and silly'. but everything is posted as if the posters and commenters are women, and they're all men.
The oblivion remake is a soulless, ugly piece of crap that completely disregards the vibrancy and whimsy of the original. I will never stop hating it 💯
Can we please just start k****** them
I liked this article, although I don't agree with "patriarchy good" and the casual misogyny. But I agree with the author and "his" solution -already shared it on this blog.
If you go by how we use the word colloquially which is all that matters, basically 99% of men are pedophiles. It is true that if you're going by the dictionary definition “a psychiatric disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a prepubescent child” only about 1 to 4 percent of men experience pedophilic attraction. However, 9 times out of 10 when someone's calling a person a pedophile online that's not what they mean.
So what about their revealed preferences? Instead of asking men, what if you showed them a series of images of naked underaged girls and naked adult women and then measured their reactions (don't ask me how this study was legal)? Well, then the percentage of men who are attracted to sub-18-year-old girls is by no means a minority.
In the first study, there was very little difference between the amount of arousal men experience from seeing nude 12 to 16-year-old girls and nude 17 to 37-year-old women. In the second study, men expressed a preference for adolescent girls ages 11 to 15. So from these two studies, the results indicate that men are either more attracted to adolescent girls than adult women or almost as attracted to adolescent girls as they are to adult women. Either way, it's not looking good bros.
They legitimately have convinced themselves they could never find a teenage girl attractive because such attraction is legally, morally, and socially prohibited. None of this changes the fact that if you show them images of 15-year-old girls in bikinis their penis becomes erect.
Oh, one last thing before I move on. If you are a woman reading this, I want to give you a very helpful piece of advice. If you have a guy friend who regularly says things like "I'm 27, I could never find a girl who's 19 attractive that's freaking weird and gross" that's the type of guy who is knowingly lying and he is a dangerous sociopath. Run.
(this part lmao)
In reality, if you remove all extrinsic social factors and place men back in the state of nature for a couple of generations they become way more violent and rapey.
In pre-civilization times something like 1/4 of all males died due to having their skull caved in with a rock by another dude. About 1/10 of the Skulls from prehistoric women have also been found with rock-shaped holes in their heads. Given that most female homicide victims throughout recorded history have been killed by men I think it's reasonable to assume that was probably the case back then too. I can't find good stats on prehistoric rape because unlike getting hit with a rock it often doesn't result in skeletal trauma that anthropologists can later identify. That said, the idea of sexual consent being important is a relatively modern phenomenon. Let's be real if a fella is willing to bash your head in with a rock I don't think rape is far-fetched.
Our patriarchal society makes men behave far better than they otherwise would. That said, the previous studies showing the ages of girls men find attractive demonstrates the limits of socialization. We can change men's actions and stated preferences but their underlying drives, urges, and desires will always remain the same. To summarize, the essentialist radfem who believes that all men are born violent rapist pedophiles is a lot closer to being correct than her moderate counterpart, since she doesn't try to shift the blame from men onto some nebulous social structure.
The author responded to a thoughtful comment saying:
"Thank you for reading my piece. I'm glad you had a chance to read it as you were one of the authors who inspired me to write it. I'm going to compartmentalize your response that way it'll be easier for me to respond to each point.
> and possible start advocating for major male-specific eugenics
This is unironically my ultimate solution to the issue. In the past eugenics was actually performed somewhat unintentionally in Western Europe with around 1% of the most violent elements of the male population( rapists murderers etc) being executed each generation before they could create offspring for about a thousand years. I think Ryan Faulk ( the alternative hypothesis) did a study on this. It had a massive effect on the Western European gene pool both raising its IQ and domesticating it somewhat. In pre Medieval Times northern European men had rates of homicide exceeding some African societies. I think more feminists should take a serious look at Eugenics as a solution to the issues they have with men since “ teaching men not to rape” is probably not going to eradicate the issue entirely. Plus many of the four foremothers of the feminist and Reproductive Rights movement like Margaret Sanger were ardent eugenicists."
something the ddlg community seems to fail to acknowledge is that sexual arousal and orgasms are powerful conditioning tools. if you and your daddy sexualize childlike behavior, children’s innocence and helplessness, childlike speech/baby talk, children’s objects and toys, children’s clothing, etc etc these things will become sexual to you, anyone who’s taken the most basic psychology course can tell you this. your brains will literally begin to associate them on their own with sexual arousal and your “daddy’s” brain and dick will respond accordingly. he might absolutely get turned on seeing a child behaving and dressing and talking the very same way his “little” does simply because he’s used to all of these things being involved when he gets off.
he might not have started out as a pedophile and the two of you may be “consenting adults”, but use your critical thinking for a moment and realize that normalizing this pedophilic dynamic will make you both desensitized to it. the same way continuous exposure to violent porn creates a link between violence and sexual arousal for those consuming it, being turned on and getting orgasms while roleplaying pedophilia will cause a link to form between sexual arousal and childlike. your kink harms children, bye
now we’re pathologizing women’s bare faces
