ugh you are literally THE WORST
I...I mean, it’s silly, and it’s dumb, and it’s a bit mindless, but I thought it was funny. The line about ‘The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie’ made me chuckle, and it was pretty harmless. Not too embarrassed or outraged, but maybe I just don’t get it.
Okay, I know this makes me a schmuck, but I travel a great deal for work and am a member of the Starwood Preferred Guest program. So, yeah, I was a bit bummed when I heard this. Did it ruin my breakfast? Actually, I rarely eat breakfast, so no. Will I think it sucks if much changes with this program? Yeah. If you have…
WHY are you doing this? Why are you trying to discredit and make fools of student activists? Please, you aren’t involved in this. Stop fucking trolling on this website.
fuck off.
Please, just stop with this. Greer was an important feminist voice. She deserves a bit more respect than that.
This person is one of the better trolls Jezebel has seen, but a troll none the less. Do feed it, as it provides endless entertainment. But don’t let it upset you.
Just fuck off troll, I mean you are talented but this is insane.
Okay, quick question while I reread everything for you.
It can be problematic in cases where there is no bigotry, in the same way that labelling anyone as ‘morally bad’ can be deeply psychologically distressing. As refusing to sleep with people who have penises isn’t bigoted, it is wrong to apply the label to people.
Calm down child, you just need to have your afternoon nap. Shhhhhhh....it will be alright.
Sorry, are you really not reading me? Please actually read what I wrote at 3:39. I’m not seeing where you are getting the problem with calling out bigotry from. And I also don’t see where you find me saying that “openness....is still a violation of consent.” I’ve claimed it’s not bigoted for cis women to not want to…
Lol are you serious? What do you think ‘open’ means? It measn open to the possibilities in the way outlined above. Not every conversation online has to be some zero sum game where you find a ‘gotcha’! a little charity in interpretation goes a long way. same as in ordinary life
Okay, I don’t have to retract that argument because I never made it. I said that one is obligated to change bigoted behavior if possible, and it seems like in the case of sexual attraction (if it can be bigoted) this could look like the following “having sex with a person from class X OR saying that in certain…
okay: the point I was making was in response to a group of activists who have created and used a concept known as the ‘cotton ceiling’, which implies that failing to have sex with trans women—both those that don’t, and in particular those that DO have penises—is transphobic. You asked how I feel about refusing to have…
I appreciate your response but really think you have done a poor job reading what I wrote. Nowhere do I say that transness is a matter of genitalia or secondary sex characteristics. My problem is with ‘the cotton ceiling’, and the idea that cis women have a moral obligation to welcome trans women with or without…
I think there is a large difference between saying you won’t sleep with people because of their race, and saying you will only sleep with people who have certain genitalia or even secondary sexual characteristics. Genitalia and secondary sexual characteristics are things that can delimit who you will and will not…
Right it isn’t used in an individual way, in the sense that here is a trans women that you must sleep with. But it is used in saying that you must sleep with or being open to sleeping with trans women or else you are transphobic and part of the problem. This I find very problematic for reasons I have outlined above.
An…
Sure, people should think critically about what their sexual preferences (including kinks and orientation) say about them and the culture they live in. Nothing about us is created in a vacuum, and there is lots of racism/sexism etc caught up in what does and doesn’t get off—I mean just look at any mainstream…
The claim is that inclusion within communities is not sufficient—inclusion in the bedroom is required of cis women if they want to be allies and not be transphobic or transmisogynists. Now, the claim is never presented in so gross a manner as “hey you, cis lady, GO DOWN ON ME NOW!” But the claim is ‘hey you, cis lady,…
