many of u appear to be trying to play a sophisticated game of chess while your opponent is pointing a gun at you and also pulling the trigger on the gun pretty frequently and you're being shot by the gun a lot

That one sect of dominators want to sexually exploit and degrade women & the other wants to lock their sexuality up are simply different wishes from among the supreme class of dominating men. Neither want women to be free, & that's plenty for an effective political coalition.

There’s no contradiction between this kind of pornographic misogyny and puritanical misogyny of the old Christian right. Both use sexuality to enact men’s domination over women. That one sect forces sex and the other prohibits it is largely a matter of taste.

With these sorts of cries of 'fascists are secretly gay', read Klaus Theweleit's Male Fantasies (vol. 2, p. 339) for a far more interesting interpretation: fascists replace sexual freedom and dismantling of social norms with the psychosexual compulsion to must do what is forbidden, but also obey

We are now in a position to establish why the fascists ultimately maintained the prohibition on homosexuality. Two reasons emerge from the above. In the first instance, the fascists feared the potential of permissible homosexuality to develop into forms of sexuality they could no longer easily organize and contain. Second, the legalization of homosexuality was seen as likely to eliminate one of the key areas of transgression into which the fascist had to be initiated and accepted, were he to gain access to the secrets that were the domain of a specific power elite. In other areas of social life, the Nazis were clearly denied access both to secrets and power; thus homosexuality became all the more indispensable. It replaced access to social decision-making power with the freedom to do what was forbidden. But this freedom was also a shackle —in two senses. Though the fascists willingly consented to a "movement" that served their own aims, the freedom it afforded them was always potentially coercive; if they failed to do what the "movement" demanded, they risked exposure and condemnation. In the end, they faced a second double-bind, a second dilemma to parallel the dou-ble-bind that simultaneously prohibited and commanded incest between men: thou shalt love men, but thou shalt not be homosexual. A second command-ment: thou shalt do what is forbidden, yet still be punished, if those in power so desire. Each carefully constructed double-bind is a time-bomb: the trapeze artist may successfully tread the "tightrope" between power relations — but he will never eradicate them. His best strategy is deferral, a repression of con-tradictions. For the fascist, any potential deterritorialization (in this case, the dismantling of particular bourgeois prohibitions) is channeled into a tangled system of dependencies, in which his survival depends on his acceptance of a system of unconditional obedience, or a system of endless intrigue held together by one thing only-power.

Everywhere Republicans gather, Grindr crashes. Or at least, that's what people have told me about 500 times since my video discussing if homophobia is always rooted in secretly being gay. But is it true? Do republicans constantly crash Grindr whenever they meet? New Video: youtu.be/GHeAJPbx0SI

“Izaquiel trabalha como auxiliar de serviços gerais no Recife, cidade entrecortada por rios e manguezais. À noite, ele se aventura perigosamente em busca de encontros secretos no mangue. Seu mundo vira de cabeça para baixo quando ele cruza o caminho de Jeremias, um pescador intrigante e magnético.”

The argument, always, is not over whether rape happens. Everyone knows that it happens all the time. The argument is over whether rape is morally serious. A lot of people do not think that it is, and they would be more honest if they said so.

It's tedious to have to litigate every disclosure of sexual violence against a powerful or hell even not-powerful man in terms of "credibility" and "corroboration," when everyone knows that what's at stake is not whether the specific allegation is true but whether it matters.

Teve patrocínio e propaganda de jogo de azar? Sim! Teve uso descarado de IA? Também! Mas se tem algo que a Oxin Films sabe fazer, é botar ator gostoso pra fuder sem pudor. Esse desperdício de água e energia eu apoio! 🤭 [E espero que o casal secundário fofíssimo ganhe a própria série.]
