NOTHING in the first paragraph is accurate. You don't get to tell me how I feel about anything, btw, but to clarify:

Yeah, I'm a bit more conflicted re. porn than pepitas, but I do feel like sex-positive feminism is hostile to women who genuinely aren't up for anything. And it totally ignores women in the asexual group. I feel like I'm betraying all women just because I'm grey asexual/demisexual.

I don't know, I don't think empowering women by doing porn is empowering women, it's empowering yourself at the expense of women.

THANK YOU. There is a huge disconnect between the goals of feminism and the way it is being re-written, especially with the younger generation. There is nothing empowering about doing porn. I do not see how anyone can argue that it is sex positive. And I agree, I think that the newest wave of feminism may actually…

Everyone is blowing this is off as some weird fetish-y thing and missing Mark's larger point: this is becoming normal. Let me repeat that again: hardcore, extreme and often dangerous sexual acts, overwhelmingly involving women, are becoming more and more normalized. Things that should be seasoned fetishes and…

I find Gwyneth bland and boring and occasionally insufferable, but GOD DAMN I love her as Pepper.

I get wary when "strong" equals "tradionally masculine definitions of strength."

I wrote a whole thing some time back about how Ghibli movies often have great, meaningful lead characters who are girls and women. In most cases, they're "strong" in that they have goals and things that they want, but they're still human beings with their own feelings who sometimes lose their shit or even show…

I honestly have always thought that Marge Simpson was a good example of a strong female character. Yeah, she's married to a guy who's kind of a dope, but she's fully realized and has multiple facets to her personality. She's essentially the glue that holds her family together.

Bullshit. The CDC clains that 96 percent of Americans between the ages of 20-59 have had sex. Also the majority of those virgins will be women. I was a woman who dressed nice, was in shape, and was in a sorority and didn't lose my virginity till after college. I'm sorry men in your life only want shot girls and…

You're making claims, but you're not substantiating them. You're showing that men with lower IQs get laid, but you're making a jump as to why - you're proving a correlation exists, but claiming a cause.

look, i don't understand why you can't understand that those same exact statistics are reasons for rejoicing. i guess you're too negative?

Because why else would they be complaining that they want to be treated "like any other man"? It suggests that being a man and having sex go together, like it's natural-when being a man in no way connects to whether or not you're going to have sex. I did not go "what about the womenz"... I went "why is it gendered"?…

Maybe that's because we're the first generation that can actually be introverts. 50 years ago, being an introvert ment staying at home reading books or watching one of a couple dozen TV channels by yourself. It would have gotten pretty boring pretty quickly. Now we have hundreds of channels, the internet, video games,…

Charts without references, context, or any indication of controlled data don't actually count for anything in the real scientific community. Neither does the bullshit biological determinism argument, which has been discredited by both scientists and philosophers.

"No sorry it doesn't change ever." yes, it does. you know how you know? 65% of the college seniors you quoted earlier are virgins, but less than 5% of college-educated adults are virgins at age 30, and that includes the intentionally celibate like priests.

Yes, you did say all of that. Internet shouting doesn't erase the thread. Shut up and move on.

I'm not oozing with sympathy considering all he's having to deal with is how women have always been treated. Am I supposed to see that as a tragedy? The treatment that's NORMAL for people to level at me? Yah, that's not going to happen.

So maybe find a way of dealing with this that doesn't involve draping your ego over someone else so she can carry it? I mean really, like the world's not full of "here's an adequate woman, haha it's not you" messages? And like we don't learn how to ignore?

I guess I mean that if you actually take the time to learn what extrovert and introvert really mean (as you have), it's pretty easy to understand. Extrovert and introvert are also a spectrum. Myers Briggs often does this via a percentage. You're probably 5o-something to 70 percent percent introvert because the key…
