    Man here, I want her to pat me on the head and tell me it’ll be okay.

    If that’s gay, slap my ass and call me homo, doesn’t change what I know what I am.

        Pro tip: before getting yourself pegged make sure to make it clear you want her to be gentle with you, so you don’t risk having to question your sexuality.

    The same people insist gender is made-up, and biological sex is the only thing that counts.

    Conservatives do not mean things when they say words.

      “ Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

        Sartre was optimistic. He believed these people say wrong things on purpose, as a tactic. Like they’re rationally advancing a goal through irrational rhetoric.

        I think they honestly believe this is how things work. The word-games are their entire worldview. Ideas aren’t right or wrong, people are right or wrong, and whatever the people on your side say, you have to shuffle cards to justify it. COVID proved they would continue this behavior whilst gargling their own lungs.

        And they think it’s all you’re doing, because they think that’s all there is.

          Well I think he was actually spot-on. But this was decades ago. Those people and these tactics have led to a lot of idiots. Those idiots make up the majority of the antisemites these days. You’re right that they’re not consciously running these tactics, but they are just parroting the grifters and conmen the Sartre was speaking of.

          They’re despicable, but those kinds of people are smart. However, the mental offspring they shed like dandruff are the idiots you’re thinking of. They don’t do these things with any kind of cognizance. They just live in it. They’re the feeder-stock plugged into The 24hr Fear, and those talking heads employ these tactics. The idiots just emulate.

            ‘But bigots of the past were playing 4D chess!’ is a brave opinion to offer.

            Nobody invented antisemitism as a clever scheme. It’s always been ad-hoc justifications and libelous story-telling, to bolster the kneejerk conclusions of ingroup supremacists. Rational argument has to be taught - tribalist pretense is instinctive to all people. Grifters emerge to take advantage of them, and spread the bullshit, but that dirt was always in your brain.

              You think “basic interpersonal skills” or manipulation is “4d chess?” That’s kinda sad.

              Antisemitism has been around since long before Sartre wrote a book about them in the 40s. He wasn’t talking about the invention of antisemitism, he was talking about the tactics of undermining logic that are still very present even in the dipshit rightwing now. For fucks sake there was a post on 4chan back in like 2017 talking about it openly—they called it how to piss of libs or some shit, but it’s still the same even if the words have adapted. We think of the right wing as mostly incompetent. But that’s not always the way they were seen. Shit even in my lifetime I remember the era of the neocons, they were scary motherfuckers inside and out. Fox News and the right wing has gone on a 40 year long anti education rout, and we do see that in their followers. But the sort of “joker” persona of the fascist movement isn’t new.

          The word-games are their entire worldview.

          You’re touching upon what C.S. Lewis called men without chest in his book The Abolition of Men. From personal experience I believe both the author and you are spot on.

      Don’t forget, there are plenty of us in the middle. I think gender is a made up social construct, but also that anyone should be able to go through life following whatever social norms they identify with. I don’t think boys are born into girl bodies or girls are born into boy bodies, but merely that some boys have more in common w/ society’s expectations of girls and vice versa.

      It’s a distinction w/o a difference, and I’m happy calling you whatever you’d prefer. But if you’re born with male chromosomes, you’ll always have male chromosomes.

        An opinion that sounded progressive a century ago but is now politely-stated bigotry. Actually worse than saying sexual preference isn’t real, but hey, people can fuck who they choose. Talking about transition in terms of chromosomes is a dog whistle on par with rattling off birthrates.

        Dysphoria is not societal.

          I obviously disagree.

          I think hormone therapy should obviously be available for those who want them. I admit I don’t fully understand trans people, but I firmly believe in making every accommodation for people to live the way they choose, provided it doesn’t hurt anyone, but I also don’t believe taking hormones turns a biological male I to a biological female or vice versa, nor do I believe gender is anything more than a social construct to label people.

          It’s quite possible I’m wrong, I’m not a neuroscientist or anything, and brain stuff is weird. But I also don’t think it particularly matters if at the end of the day, you and I treat people the same.

            Reasons matter. They inevitably emerge as differences in conclusion. A lot of JK Rowling’s bullshit begins by denying that trans women are women - and given your libertarian bent, I worry there’s some overlap. Rugged individualism does not address gendered sports, or bathrooms, or indeed sexual abuse shelters.

    The only reason you would want a woman to be weak, is if you’re planning on physically overpowering her. Just saying.

    Also… Nice.

      I’d like to consensually test with her which one of us is overpowering the other.

      Not gonna happen in a million years, but a man can dream.
