I don’t think she was saying everyone’s kink fit patriarchal norms. Just that it’s a majority kind of thing. Certainly people do fit outside of the (nowadays) socially normal “man = dom and into rough sex, woman = sub and into receiving rough sex” kinks.

Yeah, and it seems like CBC fired Jian Ghomeshi really quickly, too - if you forget that they ignored or covered up years of sleazy and abusive behaviour.

Right on. This “I choose my choice” brand of feminism is perfectly unhelpful. Nobody is saying you’re not allowed to like what you like, but when they suggest that maybe you like something that you wouldn’t like had it not been for the toxic culture you’ve soaked up since birth, they’re not passing judgement on you as…

And she had a great line of “I don’t judge individuals but let’s say I am suspicious of how many dudes have fantasies that align perfectly with existing patriarchal norms.”

Yeah, this is really sounding similar to CBC and Jian Gomeshi to me.

I’m guessing the reason they’ve been so quick to distance themselves is because the Kink.com studios specifically were named as one of the locations where he sexually assaulted one of the accusers and they don’t want to be associated with that especially since I’d guess they know more stuff is coming out as far as…

While many of the allegations against Deen are new, the pattern is alarming.

Well, his public image prior to this was as the guy who was not a threat or disgustingly porn-y.

Cynical, but this is probably a CYA move on kink’s part. Guarantee higher ups in the company knew about him and did nothing because he made them money.

Stories of his abusive on-set behavior have been around for years without any action. This is more like doing something once it becomes a thing.

Jeez we spend all this energy and time promoting porn stars as our new idols and they let us down! Who will we look to next for guidance on culture, feminism and radical politics? (NB: Answer has to be in the form of a porn star)

He’s a man, and he’s a man tasked with illustrating male fantasies for men. Are you not surprised?

Also, the key part of Lysistrata’s strategy was that when the women occupied the acropolis, they effectively controlled the Athenian purse-strings so they couldn’t afford to fight. (The acropolis contained a kind of Athenian national bank, so to speak.)

I’m getting REAL sick of people pretending like this is supposed to be a real suggestion. The play was a goddamned satire.

I understand wanting to give the benefit of the doubt, but I really don’t think it is warranted in this case. This isn’t about helping, it’s just an ego trip. Same as Chiraq. There’s a reason a lot of people in the city are pissed at him and not for the reasons Rahm is.

Yeah the big assumption is that women can just enforce a sex strike on a whim. Like, we just decided not to have sex or get raped starting Tuesday. If women couldn't enforce sex with consent before, how can they enforce a strike? Bullshit Spike. Learn your movements.

The presumption here seems to be that women should withhold sex from men in order to stop being harassed and assaulted. So, once again, it’s up to women to not get raped? #fuckthatnoise

My cat steals them and buries them in the kitty litter. I don't know why.

It really does, doesn't it? How dirty could her hair be to give her three different infections? Does she swim in open sewage?

This seems...super unlikely to me. Like, was it so tight it was injuring the skin on its own? Did she already have an open cut or something there? What the FUCK was she doing with that hair tie that would get enough virulent bacteria on it to cause that kind of serious infection? IDK, this sounds like urban legend…
