If she got pregnant it's probably her fault. The number of sexy, sexy nine years olds I've seen walking around dressed provocatively...

/s but please let it be obvious that was sarcasm

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The horrifying thing is that I have actually seen 9 year olds dressed pretty provocatively, and that just makes me feel more sick to think of gross perverts who find that sexy.

I feel even more sick when I remember being 11 years old and how I perceived the world; a friend (also 11) had a 16 year old boyfriend and I remember we all thought this was the coolest thing, and I wondered whether dressing more provocatively would help me to get a boyfriend. Normalising this shit is like societal level grooming

Or when the parents dress kids that way. Child beauty pageants have always seemed gross to me. Parents dressing their young kids in ways that would be too much even for adults...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

That's not the only sick part. The abuse those kids get from their stage parents to perform in those pageants with what the parents view as perfection is just disgusting. And, of course, the kids get nothing out of it. It's all so mom and dad can brag about their pageant winner.

I'm still temped to downvote this anyway because it disgusted me so much.

You don't need to use the "scary brown people" word to describe conservatives, you know? Call them retrogrades, fascists, misogynist, or the whole plethora of accurate terms instead of invoking mild racism

Forgot to add that children can get married and work in dangerous jobs.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

The divorced part and the link was about child marriages, but you are correct that I did not mention dangerous jobs. I was thinking more about domestic life.

If you don't see the point it is because you don't hate women enough.

You have to think from the perspective of a J.D. Vance who women (and men but especially women) react with repulsion and disgust towards because thankfully women have better options to get laid than loser bigots (what is the point? just get yourself off at home if you are horny, JD is gonna just blow his load in 10 seconds and fall asleep leaving you there to finish the job yourself anyways), and being rich or powerful doesn't really solve the problem for pathetic, feminism hating incel types like JD because like, even if you are a woman who desperately wants to have access to money and power you still have to know on some level that having sex with JD Vance would be crushingly boring and unfulfilling.

People like JD know this on some level too, they were the kids in school that when popular kids made fun of them for being weird the other kids would look on not with a pity or a blank neutral gaze but with a recognition dawning on their faces that though bullying is bad, this JD Vance type incel being bullied is dangerous and slimey.

They just want to hurt women for laughing in their face when they try to lecture them about how they are objects, it truly is that dumb and pathetic.

Is that Bartleby's great great, etc, grandson?

He's not Wayne The Scrivener.

Or at least he didn't give his middle name.

It's in your contract, your job description, even your name; is it time for you to restart your counseling / therapy sessions? Mental health care is health care, after all.

An eighteen year old woman dating a thirty year old man is considered a victim of grooming. An eighteen year old woman entering a sugar baby arrangement with a fifty year old man is considered an empowered feminist. However if said man provides her with a glass of wine before the deed, that's a class three misdemeanor.

Gender politics in the US is cracked. A huge part of the reason why is the entire discourse is dominated by super reductive hot takes.
