I believe they were accusing you of having pedophelia, not referring to your neurodivergence.

Lots of people have non-con fetishes. Doesn’t make them rapists. Hell, who hasn’t thought about murdering someone, or robbing a bank?

Good fucking thing we don’t punish thought crimes.

Pedophelia is a paraphelia that requires treatment to manage/mitigate/overcome. Many people with pedophelia were young rape victims, themselves.

If we can all agree:

1. People don’t choose to have pedophelia, and,

2. We would like to have less people with pedophelia,

Then we can also agree there should be easy to access treatments for pedophelia.

People trying to destigmatize the paraphelia and promote access to treatment are doing a lot more to make the world better than the ones calling every pedophile a rapist, even if they never act on it.

My comment was awesome and you know it. You have a great day, too.

You should take a few writing classes yourself. What even is this sentence?

What if everyone judged female authors on say the bigotry of current day conservative Americans.

No one’s sterotyping shit. We’re making fun of a trope. Why don’t you stop low-effort trolling and get down to breasting boobily with the rest of us?

Menopause sounds like a gauntlet. But before this essay, and reading what you shared, I had no idea it felt like a return to normality, too. Good thing there’s some light at the end of the tunnel.

Wishing you good health and thank you for sharing.

As a writer? Yes. Writing is fun.

Shhh let us have fun.

Modest and indecisive with nipples that grow more verdant by the year.

Reads like he was arrested for being an asshat and they might have found drugs.

Those drugs?

a police search found “half of an orange oval-shaped pill with 3 imprinted on it, consistent with a Schedule II amphetamine”, and three “suspected cannabis cigarettes.”

So… half a dexadrine and three joints, the bare minimum for a night out in Canada.

That look means I’ve scoped a nice place to keep my strap-on.

This generation’s Enumclaw incident.

The article begins with a history of communication and condemnation over differing values, so the author definitely doesn’t say this only applies to the internet. The article just happens to be about the internet.

She doesn’t say to never debate with strangers, either. That whole section was the bookend to her starting primer on violence over ideological differences, the point was that people are more than just a single comment on the internet.

She only mentions bluesky once. The article brings up, multiple times, the underlying motivators keeping people angry and engaged.

One example:

So, which institutions are we being tempted to condemn root-and-branch because of some mistakes and abuses? What large, trying-to-be-helpful-but-sometimes-failing associations would various rulers like to break up and destroy because they represent alternative sources of authority to their own narrative, and also there’s money to be made?

I don’t even know where to start with the Palestinian genocide thing. Where did that come from? This is more about individual experience with the internet.

I’m always surprised and humbled by people like you, who can disagree thoughtfully and with self awareness. Despite a little frustration on my part, I love to see women stick to their guns.

And I appologize if I came off abrasive. I rejected feminine social norms early on because I’m very stubborn, which led to questioning my gender until ultimately realizing I get to decide what it means to be a woman. I’m direct and I challenge people, but it comes from a place of compassion and a desire for truth. Yes, I know truth is relative. Anyway, that’s part of why I don’t agree there are masculine or feminine personality traits.

Which is why I don’t think the qualities the author wanted women to embody were masculine, rather she pointed out that men have an abundance of confidence where women are lacking. But I can agree to disagree.

You’re right that academia, especially at higher levels, is increasingly specialized. I meant that a person has more experience than just work and school, and we don’t know what electives she took. This author seems interested in sociology from the sources she links.

Either way, I enjoyed this conversation. I like being challenged and it’s important to question everything. You gave me another perspective to consider, even if I didn’t agree with it.

She was Incredible in True Detective.

I can fix him.

1883, three years before Richard Von Krafft Ebing published Psychopathia Sexualis. This gives me enough time to establish myself, become his peer, and steal his work to publish under my own name.

Why? Because 1886 is the first time the term Anilingus is used in print, with ol’ sexy Richard credited for coining it.

What if everyone got one extra eye, where would you put it?

If there’s one thing I know about dogs, it’s how much they hate being outside with their favorite people all the time.

Good catch, thank you. I fixed the title.
