Like, why does a gym attract so many dickheads. I’m just there minding my own damn business when I overhear dudes talking about how they are ‘going to get so much pussy for lifting’ and whatever dumb shit. It’s a constant stream of male garbage coming from all around you. My fault for not wearing headphones I guess.
Is that why you lift? Really? Are most gym bros just terminally insecure man children? Fucking hell man. Who unironically talks like that? I know I’m probably in a bubble as a sober, vegan communist but still.
He wasn’t saying that casual sex is wrong, he said using that phrase is wrong because it reduces women down to just their genitals. There’s obviously a line you gotta draw between being cool with people expressing sexual desires, and letting those desires clash with others’ humanities.
And yes, it would be a bit ridiculous if you made a scene every time you heard a man use a phrase like that, just like it would be ridiculous to make a scene every time some white person made an unwitting racist comment. But you gotta learn to spot things like that and counter them when you have conversations with men you trust.
I misinterpreted their comment and wasn’t really looking at the big picture.
I don’t think it’s an inherently dehumanizing phrase in every context but maybe I’m just being needlessly contentious. I agree that it’s not something anyone with social awareness would say
Can you give an example where using the phrase “getting pussy” isn’t inherently dehumanizing?
Would you say getting good dick is dehumanizing? I understand that gender dynamics are different in our patriarchal franework but in a vacuum it is not inherently dehumanizing in any significant sense
Both of those statements are literally dehumanizing, are you sure you know what that word means?
