Tell that to the hypocritical feminists who believe that porn is somehow "degrading" to women or women who say they don't fart.
I don't think the majority of women are anywhere near as turned on by porn or as sexually motivated as males. I say that from a very neutral standpoint. Studies show a huge number of women can't even get themselves to an orgasm until age 30.
You have no idea how many arguments I've had with other feminists about the nature of pornography. I wrote my women studies capstone on how Catherine Mackinnon is full of shet and that we need to be supporting feminists within the industry to help create more female friendly porn. That shaming women's sexual behavior is ****** up regardless of who it comes from.

Good lord I feel bad for these women. Either they haven't discovered "the spot" or their partner is horrible in bed.I don't think the majority of women are anywhere near as turned on by porn or as sexually motivated as males.

Yes, ironically by claiming that women participating in porn is degrading (and thus implying that men participating in porn is not degrading), feminists don't realize they're sl**-shaming women - something they readily accuse men of doing.

One step at a time, my friend. First I gotta go ham on the books and get a stable footing in med school classes, then get back into going ham at the gym, then I'll start going ham on the bishes.
If I'm barely passing med school classes, it won't help my life to take hours out of my day to approach random women and getting rejected by the vast majority.
Like is it really that hard to masturbate though? I don't get it. Do these women not have shower heads in their homes? Or hands? Or money to purchase toys?
touchpause. You know I disagree with you quite a bit on this topic. I don't think I'm slut-shaming when I say that women depicting themselves as pliable sex toys is damaging to the image of women. We have not yet reached equality. Simple conversations with college boys or even men will give you some insight into what is being perpetuated in the culture by the sexual objectification in porn or at Hooters.
Well look. The dude in the green shorts is a beautiful man. I'm not hatin. But the question posed by the dame anastomoses was what is our understanding of balanced male physique? Personally I would rather be supremely functional and happen to look pretty good than look really good and be semi-functional and in fact impaired both in health and ability by excess non-functional muscle mass.
I don't see functional strength as separate from physique. It just looks different than a useless model of physique.
I almost clicked like for the pronator teres reference.
I'm sure there is some slight effect here but...I know of many cases in which girls are shamed but can't overcome their own sexual urges. Isn't it just a fact that men are more sexually motivated on the some spectrum, with some fair overlap in the middle?

It sounds like you're in the Camille Paglia camp; I'm with Naomi Wolf that most sexualization of women is not "women owning their sexuality or their own desires". If a woman is a sexual masochist and enjoys submission, I 100% encourage her to get on with it. But the current standard actually promotes something much different and I guess we'll agree to disagree on what is being represented about women in porn or in the media as a whole. I was flipping through a Cosmo today at an office I was in and was fairly disgusted by those images. As women, we're affected and that's even being women. Imagine what those signals send out to males, half of which don't even find women relatable as a group...and often see us as an "other" or as "walking sex".
This topic actually fascinates me. Do you really think faces are more important to most people? I'm not so sure. I often feel I'm in the minority in my value of great faces. I'm just throwing this out there for further feedback, but my experience suggests that with both genders, they'll take a fantastic body and average face over an exquisite face and average body. What do you think?

And the problem I have is that I've lived it...and this doesn't suit me one bit. The women who write about how much it abuses our psyche do represent a real female population. Little boys and girls before the age of 5 are actually not all that different. Behavioral changes begin at that point. And I think people who try to increase the natural differences between men and women to an obscene extent are the culprits of serious problems we incur later.There's a lot of convoluted nonsense there that clearly comes right out of university liberal arts inanity. People who have to earn useless phd's have to come with that kind of crap to keep the whole merry-go-round spinning.
The problem with it is obvious. Who is the curator of acceptable female sexual expression? These magazines...they're run by women. And yes, above all else, we are alien to each other. And it's not just sexual. Look at little boys and girls. They're different creatures. Testosterone changes the brain.
Equal rights does not make us the same. I think this is the real issue I have with your type of feminism that lurks in between all these other ideas.
Living where I do, with its plethora of plastic surgeons, I definitely see a lot of women with fabulous bodies but their faces are not what I would consider pretty or beautiful.
I would definitely place more importance on body than face. I think having a fit/attractive body speaks more to the character of the person, since being in shape takes into account factors like healthy eating and exercise, which shows the person cares about their health and has a certain level of dedication which is admirable. Having an attractive face comes down to... well, luck.

Yup. I don't fall into the biological determinism camp either. I wouldn't say that men and women are exactly the same. There are certainly differences aside from genitalia, but at the end of the day we are just people. I'd say that men and women are more alike than different fundamentally, however there is a lot of cultural stuff that really separates us.
You're way oversimplifying.
You can convince yourself that it's nonsense and you can convince yourself that I read my "theories" in books before I already felt them glaring at me at a young age. I will give you that there are definitely women out there who would kill to play out the 1950's household and wish feminism never came to be. Yet, I find it very abusive, the current construct of society today and as I said before to you, I find it more sinister than religion and found it more difficult to dissociate from what we're trained to be as little girls. That's a very personal testimony. But you keep on believing what you like.
Nah, I'd teach my son or my daughter both to win. Simple.Your blowing past subtlety like an idealogue. I'm a feminist. Was raised up by strong working women. And support equal rights for women. But I'm thinking of how might raise you're son and I shudder. Women and men couldn't be more different. Men need to be taught how to be men. In accordance with their innate nature.
Separate male and female cultures? Yikes. You're basically trying to force many of us into boxes...again, this is a spectrum. I have so many masculine tendencies that you wouldn't believe.
In high school and college professors would regularly praise me for being able to "write from a male viewpoint so well"...except I wasn't. I was writing from my viewpoint and making the characters male because I just couldn't relate female characters to any poignant or analytical thinking processes. I just hadn't seen it in movies or literature so making the characters female gave me the feeling that it wasn't realistic. And no, it wasn't the "theories" that made it so. It was my tendencies that got me so frustrated that I began seeking out why all the others weren't doing anything about this nonsense. Turns out there are massive numbers of us...and these so-called masculine tendencies aren't even masculine at all. Your mentality is frightening to me. It threatens me in the same way that religion does.

How do you mix up "your" and "you're" so effortlessly? Do you think homosexual men should be taught how to be homosexual men too?

I'm already familiar with the hilarious Christina Hoff Sommers feminism that seems to focus on boys getting their needs met and pretending girls have already achieved equality merely because girls are performing better in school. Go figure that a group that is slightly more inclined to sit still would do better.Yes. What that means is that they should be permitted an environment in which they can thrive without having their perfectly natural instincts punished.
Open your eyes.

Nasrudin, I'm in full support of all-boys and all-girls schools. Would make it all the more exciting when you get to meet one another later

I realize this only tangentially relates to the discussion, but a lot of that article resonated with me as well.
I was one of those exceptionally hyper unable to sit still boys in elementary school. But thank God I ended up with a couple of teachers who knew how to channel that energy with me and others into learning. No one told my parents I might have ADD, no one punished me. I was given a totally separate reading curriculum one year because I burned through the whole books the class was assigned in the time it took to read a chapter out loud in class. There were myriad other creative ways they figured out how to engage me and get me to focus.
Come middle school and high school that energy settled down, and I was one of the best students in school. I doubt I'd have the same opportunities and attention in a public school today (amazing to think, but 20 years have passed since I was in elementary school)
I used to have, and still have, issues with what I thought was ADD, so I went to see a psychiatrist. He diagnosed me with GAD instead, and put me on SSRIs instead. They made a huge difference, and my brain is a lot more quiet and peaceful now, letting me get more work done.
Of course, I did find out that amphetamine and methylphenidate will exacerbate my anxiety symptoms, so they are contraindicated. That's unfortunate, because I bet the entire med school class is using those things, and I can't even the playing field now.
Just focus on you man. Don't worry about other people
Yeah, I try.
While we're on the subject, that was one of the things that got me interested in Psychiatry. If simple SSRIs could improve my quality of life that much, there must be something to them. I would like to help other people in the same way.

6.2. The Successful Bidder shall not:-
6.2.1. Be under the influence of alcohol or of any drugs during the Meeting;
6.2.2. Penetrate the anus of the Virgin;
6.2.3. Treat the Virgin violently.
So, what ended up happening with this nonsense?
BTW, did you see the terms of the contract?
I'M OUT!
Oh yall are nasty
Yeah, I try.

You're a girl, right? Every guy that has ever been with you has wanted to put it in your patootie. If they say they don't, they're lying.
