Like, why does a gym attract so many dickheads. I’m just there minding my own damn business when I overhear dudes talking about how they are ‘going to get so much pussy for lifting’ and whatever dumb shit. It’s a constant stream of male garbage coming from all around you. My fault for not wearing headphones I guess.

Is that why you lift? Really? Are most gym bros just terminally insecure man children? Fucking hell man. Who unironically talks like that? I know I’m probably in a bubble as a sober, vegan communist but still.

    having sex as “getting pussy” is incredibly misogynistic.

    There is literally nothing wrong with casual sex, nothing. It’s not sexist to want casual sex

    Thinking that having more casual sex is what will save the western left is fucking ridiculous.

    Interpreting casual sex as some sort of transgression is literally the most socially offputting thing you can possibly do, and for it to be a feature of the western left is a death sentence

      I’m not arguing against casual sex. I am arguing against dehumanization of the opposite sex and your bizzare assertion that “anti-sexism” is going to be the death of the wester left. (if that would even be substantially different from its current state)

      The western left are not anti-sex. If you aren’t getting any that isn’t an ideological failing of everyone else.

      He wasn’t saying that casual sex is wrong, he said using that phrase is wrong because it reduces women down to just their genitals. There’s obviously a line you gotta draw between being cool with people expressing sexual desires, and letting those desires clash with others’ humanities.

      And yes, it would be a bit ridiculous if you made a scene every time you heard a man use a phrase like that, just like it would be ridiculous to make a scene every time some white person made an unwitting racist comment. But you gotta learn to spot things like that and counter them when you have conversations with men you trust.

        I misinterpreted their comment and wasn’t really looking at the big picture.

        and letting those desires clash with others’ humanities.

        I don’t think it’s an inherently dehumanizing phrase in every context but maybe I’m just being needlessly contentious

            Would you say getting good dick is dehumanizing? I understand that gender dynamics are different in our patriarchal franework but in a vacuum it is not inherently dehumanizing in any significant sense
