I almost fought a group of guys because they sat near me while I was studying and started discussing the “chicks” they “banged” and just generally degrading them in every way (categorizing girls as hot or not, talking about the size of their tits, talking about “body counts”) and I was just. So Fucking Angry
The only reason I didn’t do it is because they weren’t fucking worth it but god. Sometimes I still wish I had
Any anti who speculates about how total, random strangers masturbate when they’re arguing with them no longer gets to say that they’re against sexually inappropriate or abusive behaviour, because that is, in fact, sexually inappropriate behaviour.
The way they talk about masturbation is creepy as all get out, too. Like I have no problem talking about it as a part of sexuality, my own or anyone else’s, but as soon as some kid starts aggressively speculating about me or anyone else “whacking off”… yikes dot nope
^^^ this.
talking about someone else’s masturbation habits to that person without that person’s consent is sexual harassment. this includes stating or implying that a person masturbates to certain material or fantasizes about certain material.
just because someone openly posts content that you perceive as sexual, doesn’t give implied consent for you to do this.
if you want to sit there, privately wondering: “I wonder if they masturbate to such-and-such thing they reblogged?” that’s your right. but keep those thoughts to yourself unless you’ve explicitly established with the person that it’s okay for you to express those thoughts to them.
and if the context of you wanting to bring up these thoughts is: “Wow, this person reblogged some thing that I perceive as sexual and also find incredibly offensive, they must be a creep, I’m going to argue with them and try to convince them that they’re a creep.” and you’re trying to express this to them, chances are they won’t be comfortable discussing it with you.
just because you are offended or find something someone posts creepy, doesn’t give you the right to sexually harass that person.
god i just really dislike when people get all “iT’s nOt tHaT DeEp” about fiction… especially literary fiction in particular tbh.
because, like, yes… it is… it is that deep? that’s kind of the point?? if it’s not… then why are we here?? why waste our time???
if we aren’t looking at these stories for messages and meaning… then what are we even doing?! then why read stories!? then why write stories?! why even tell stories at all???
what would even be the point of story telling? why care about characters!? why follow plots?? if it’s “not that deep” and there’s no real meaning or message to read for!?!
why try to make people feel stupid for caring about the story!??
2019 is supposedly about healing and about self love but you also need to understand that those things take time and you’re not going to flip a switch and love yourself over night it’s a long process don’t put so much pressure on yourself to love yourself right away that’s more damaging than anything else
