  • Essentially, hebephilia is not the same thing as pedophilia, even the DSM-V makes the distinction using the term pedophilic disorder for the latter. For most of humanity (pre-modern (1945 and before) agrarian societies), hebephilia was common and seen as normal since marriages would be contracted and done the second a female starts puberty, mostly as a tool for economic gain, familial association and to secure the female as a patriarchal acquisition.

    This is not taking into account the fact that puberty started substantially later in premodern societies (~16 or so) and is flat out incorrect for most of the premodern societies that I can think of off the top of my head (eg, average age for most medieval marriages was early to mid twenties. Betrothals of very young children existed in aristocratic/royal families, but these marriages weren’t consummated until adulthood. There’s some story of an English king I recall who married a very young bride who turned out to be mute, and it was considered a punishment from god for marrying her so young.)

    For all the creepy shit people say about teenagers supposedly being more “fertile,” teenage girls have bodies which are too small to safely have children. Especially in pre-modern societies where a c-section was a death sentence.

  • The sad thing is what destroyed his career was more his inability to meet deadlines than any form of sexual misconduct.

  • There is an entire erotica sub genre about this. Don’t look up “dolcett.”

  • This is what Dworkin essentially argues in Intercourse. Which Rush Limbaugh read as “all sex is rape.”

  • They did update the standards to include it, and it is more common now for people to know about it now. There was a high school robotics team I remember that might have done something to help with some search for the mass graves, and I know a local university has done field trips to Greenwood.

    Viola Fletcher passed away a few months ago. Never got any form of reparations.

  • There’s a joke that E makes you like men, and T also makes you like men.

  • Graduated from an Oklahoma high school, and it was never discussed.

  • He’s polluted a lot of topics by platforming stupid and bad people. He’s pushed a lot of ancient alien/Atlantis shit, and if you look too deep into a lot of alien stuff, the root is white supremacy. Or flat-earthers.

    It may seem harmless that someone believes the world is flat, but it’s something that exists to pull someone further and further in the extreme right wing conspiracy vortex. Platforming these people normalizes these views.

  • They immediately used his death to try to argue that trans people are all domestic terrorists, and organized witch hunts to get people fired for making comments (often targeting professors that were on TPUSA’s hit list). There is a good chance that the Trump regime will cite the shooting as evidence that trans people should be viewed as terrorists.

    I think it also really exemplifies the “reality show” - iffication of right wing American politics. The president is a reality TV star, Dr Oz is administering Medicare, Hegseth was a news personality; Erika Kirk is just an opportunistic vulture like the rest. The kind of person who spends their life trying to get on Big Brother or Survivor so that they can make a career out of partying and socializing.

  • Hydrogen bonding with just any molecule they bump into. Those promiscuous polar particles.

  • Some of you realize your jobs are really unimportant

    Don’t “police, teachers, garbage collectors and fireman” kinda rely on other professions to do their jobs? Why do you need to put other workers down? Pretty sure as a teacher I relied on a school bus driver to get the students to me, an HVAC guy to make sure that the building was comfortable, architects and construction workers to create the building, electricians……….

    The comments you are leaving seem to me like compassion fatigue and burnout.

  • Wouldn’t the ideal be self hosted content made by the people hosting it? Obviously there’s no mechanical means to block people from uploading content that they don’t make, but those kinds of ethical questions and control of access can be handled by federation networks.

    Decentralizing these things could lead to a better way for sex workers to work safely (SESTA/FOSTA closed up a lot of safer avenues for sex work in the US) There’s a lot of rules for trust that you can build into these systems, things like basic encryption with private and public keys.

    Someone who didn’t want their content online could take it down easily. They could easily gate it - like, think about where most of the profit the actresses and actors videos go to now? If you are watching stuff for free on a website, it’s the website getting ad revenue and maybe the company. Do they get royalties? Workers should own the means of their reproduction.

  • In the tape released by the campaign of Brad Carson, the Democratic candidate, Coburn says a campaign worker from Coalgate told him that "lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they'll only let one girl go to the bathroom. Now think about it. Think about that issue. How is it that that's happened to us?"

    The propaganda is evergreen. There was a commercial I remember ages ago (I think Mormon funded(?)) that was just a creepy guy walking into the bathroom after a little girl in opposition to like gay marriage.

    Pretty sure it was an argument against the ERA even.

  • That is just the classic Phyllis Schafly playbook - making a career out of telling women they shouldn’t have careers.

  • CYRANO: Ah no! young blade! That was a trifle short! You might have said at least a hundred things By varying the tone. . .like this, suppose,. . .

    Aggressive: 'Sir, if I had such a nose I'd amputate it!'

    Friendly: 'When you sup It must annoy you, dipping in your cup; You need a drinking-bowl of special shape!'

    Descriptive: ''Tis a rock!. . .a peak!. . .a cape! -- A cape, forsooth! 'Tis a peninsular!'

    Curious: 'How serves that oblong capsular? For scissor-sheath? Or pot to hold your ink?'

    Gracious: 'You love the little birds, I think? I see you've managed with a fond research To find their tiny claws a roomy perch!'

    Truculent: 'When you smoke your pipe. . .suppose That the tobacco-smoke spouts from your nose-- Do not the neighbors, as the fumes rise higher, Cry terror-struck: "The chimney is afire"?'

    Considerate: 'Take care,. . .your head bowed low By such a weight. . .lest head o'er heels you go!'

    Tender: 'Pray get a small umbrella made, Lest its bright color in the sun should fade!'

    Pedantic: 'That beast Aristophanes Names Hippocamelelephantoles Must have possessed just such a solid lump Of flesh and bone, beneath his forehead's bump!'

    Cavalier: 'The last fashion, friend, that hook? To hang your hat on? 'Tis a useful crook!'

    Emphatic: 'No wind, O majestic nose, Can give THEE cold!--save when the mistral blows!'

    Dramatic: 'When it bleeds, what a Red Sea!'

    Admiring: 'Sign for a perfumery!'

    Lyric: 'Is this a conch?. . .a Triton you?'

    Simple: 'When is the monument on view?'

    Rustic: 'That thing a nose? Marry-come-up! 'Tis a dwarf pumpkin, or a prize turnip!'

    Military: 'Point against cavalry!'

    Practical: 'Put it in a lottery! Assuredly 'twould be the biggest prize!' Or. . .parodying Pyramus' sighs. . . 'Behold the nose that mars the harmony Of its master's phiz! blushing its treachery!'

    --Such, my dear sir, is what you might have said, Had you of wit or letters the least jot: But, O most lamentable man!--of wit You never had an atom, and of letters You have three letters only!--they spell Ass! And--had you had the necessary wit, To serve me all the pleasantries I quote Before this noble audience. . .e'en so, You would not have been let to utter one-- Nay, not the half or quarter of such jest! I take them from myself all in good part, But not from any other man that breathes!

  • It’s also been a great way for them to dismantle women’s rights, while proclaiming themselves as “feminists” or “protecting women.”

    Being able to ban trans medical care sets a precedent for intervention in medical care, which makes it easier for them to attack abortion and other reproductive health care rights. (Contraception is definitely on the list)

    These bathroom bills invite the policing of gender expression. There’s multiple cases of cis women being harassed and chased out bathrooms for being butch, which also serves the purpose of discouraging visibly queer people from being in public. This is also what the conservatives want; think about how much they hate women with dyed hair and undercuts.

    This also puts a giant wrench in feminist activist spaces, because you have a bunch of people who’s have redefined “women’s rights” and “feminism” to be inherently in opposition to trans people. There are “feminists” posting Matt Walsh. I have a strong suspicion that at least some of this is paid trolling - that the success of early 2010s internet feminism (#metoo) threatened some powerful people.

  • The answer the UK settled on was to ban trans men from essentially all single sex public restrooms.

    These kind of laws really exist to be a covert way of banning trans existence in public; there have been trans women in the UK who have sued because they have essentially no ability to use changing rooms or piss at work, because the law doesn’t require employers to provide single stall/all gender restrooms.
