When the media decides who you are rooting for.

He’s still taken seriously in these organizations despite all the allegations against him. Every day this stuff gets easier. I’ve partly automated it.

You know, one of the reasons women make better feds is they don't have such a severe, unseemly need to seek out sexual violence. I want to find the Catherine Shakdams. This guy even looks like a cop.

I have a partner who happens to be American and hates the Puritanism back home that wants everybody to erase their desires. In the rest of the world, sexual desire is normal, even when you're doing something serious with your life. And in the end, this guy's request for nudes probably has nothing to do with sex, but with validation and proximity, but the idea that talks about sex are never about actual sex is probably inconceivable in this conversation.

By the way I'm not defending the guy. I'm attacking the pearl-clutching moralists who demand inhumane behavior from humans. The guy looks a bit like a loser for doing so, but there's a difference between being light and being harmful.

lol I’m not a puritan. You guys are being really gross. Go talk to a woman in person without hitting on her. Actually scratch that, just leave women alone. I know they already don’t feel comfortable around you

Your comments all up and down this thread say otherwise.

You don't know fuck all, but some we're making unwarranted assumptions based on social media comments, it seems to me like you probably wear black shirts with a white square collar and like little kids, which is probably why you're so grossed out by adults wanting to see other adults naked.

See how fucking stupid that kind of thing is?

Most of my friends are women and it might surprise you, but I'm politically active in (sex-positive) feminist collectives. You really believe the whole world is like Brooklyn and that's your problem.

Bragging about your “feminist circles” online to make a point on a post about a man objectifying women that you’re defending is a strange choice. You should pay attention in those meetings more instead of oggling the women, maybe you’ll actually learn something.

There is a very strange western liberal tendency to draw the line in patriarchal structures at women’s sexual liberation. Sexual freedom and liberation is important but it’s not the end of your duty as a man (or even as a woman) in a patriarchal society.

I’m not gonna pretend I know what that Brooklyn comment means other than, shot in the dark, there’s a lot of rape that happens in big cities so people in general are more likely to be sexually repressed? And you think that’s a good argument against my point, that where rape culture is more prevalent they’re more, how you put it, puritan?

Please, if you can, bring up this guy & his post in your feminist circles if you’re gonna use them to make a point on the internet and let me know what they think about your take on this Berger guy’s post. Seriously I would be interested.
