To be clear: Women have erogenous nerves and orgasms entirely analogous to men's. The idea that women want the same taken-for-granted agency as men to *decide* when they do and do not want to have sex should not be confused with women never wanting to have sex.
I also find it hard to square "women never want to have sex" with the idea that any woman who has it for any reason other than procreation is a slut. How would those two things be possible?
Lastly, let me note: this guy @PLAINSCOTT certainly seems to have changed his tune on "sex strikes" since 2013:

Wow. Venture capitalists are swooping into the GOP tax bill's designated "opportunity zones" and investing in real estate.

If you're poor and live in one of these economically-disadvantaged areas, good luck affording your rent in five years. businessinsider.com/venture-capita…
Republicans really, really still don't get it. The decline of factory towns is not just because there aren't enough rich people there. It's a problem with human capital. We're investing wildly different amounts in various types of workers, and that's leading to inequality.
You can't solve that problem by creating an "opportunity zone" and giving tax breaks to rich people who pump money into those areas, for one simple reason: it's easier to move workers than train them.

The reason no one wants to run for Senate is Mitch McConnell.

He has destroyed the institution and rules it with an iron fist. And even if he were to lose his majority he would block anything from getting to the floor. The life of a senator is miserable and powerless right now.
When you get this, you understand why Bullock, Abrams, Castro, Hickenlooper, Vilsack, and Stein would rather do anything but run for Senate, even if they have a good shot at winning those states.

Hell, it might even be driving away some *Republicans.* Sununu just said no too.
There have been other cases in American history where a single congressional leader gathered enough power to break the whole branch of government and impose quasi-autocratic rule.

Joseph Gurney Cannon is probably the best historical analogue to what Mitch McConnell has become.

The moral argument against outlawing abortion is: in no other context do we force people to surrender part of their body to keep another person alive, the only reason we do in this case is to punish women for sexuality, even though it is *male* sexuality that gets women pregnant.
I don't think either side likes to admit this is the core of the issue. Both pros- and antis- consider it beneath them to say this is about sexual freedom. They frame it as about immediate life and death — murdered babies! Dead women! That's not the real issue.
But you know what, giving women equal sexual freedom to men *is* a matter of life and death, even beyond the direct medical implications. It's about defeating a culture in which women are second-class and exist for male pleasure. An attitude that lets rape and DV run wild.

So the @cpsuk are allowing teen girls & women to be sexually tortured on film. I have evidenced this horror on my blog. Proving much is non-consensual/ DV victims/performers who suffer mental health issues/physical harm to breasts /anus/genitalia etc bbc.co.uk/news/technolog… #VAWG
Also, a significant audience of online violent pornography are children and teenagers. #Pornhub hosts thousands of sexually violent videos that have millions of views. Many of these videos are 'home-made' and single males upload their own sexual offences against girls & women

Sex workers. Prostitutes. Escorts. Hookers.

These subjects have been in the news a lot lately. We need to talk about it.

I'm going to take position here that many of you might not like.

Sex work is a net positive to society and should be decriminalized.
I've known several sex workers in my time and I've followed sex worker twitter for a while.

Sex work is real work and it provides a valuable service to men and society.

If sex work were decriminalized, we'd be better off as a whole.
Banning sex work is anti liberty, anti personal freedom, and authoritarian.

If two adults want to contract for service for pay, then why the hell is the government getting involved?

Men want the service, women sex workers want to provide it.

@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK @BrightonSurvivorsNET “In the light of a highly disturbing increase of #transphobia locally & nationally…” IF everything anybody says or does is #transphobia, of course you can say it is rising. Any reputable statistics?
@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK “…so the date @Womans_Place_UK event feels like a concerted effort to make #trans ppl, & particularly #transwomen, feel #intimidated and #invalidated” Is it the position of SN that the sensitivities of #transwomen mean that #democracy should be suspended any time they say so?

Gonna jump in with the (brief) version of the economic corollary: the availability and normalization of contraception also creates a norm within society in which fecundity and, specifically, the ways in which women bear specific burdens of human fecundity, are papered over
If contraception is the norm, then it becomes easier to (mentally) separate the relationship between sex and babies. Let’s look at how this plays out for education: sex is available, the idea that it is “safe” is taken for granted, but again - statistically-
... there’s roughly a 12 percent chance, combined, for pill and condom, in an unintended pregnancy - per year. That compounds, and you’re left with a pretty high chance over an undergrad career for a “surprise”.
However... there’s still the cultural bias - really expectation -

A Thread for Men: When your #woman is #emotional, #crying or #stressed out, do not hold it against her. One of the lies of #feminism is that men and women are the same, including that we should process #emotions the same way. Reject the lie. Listen and learn in the posts below.
#Women have much greater #hormonal fluctuations each month than #men do. Simply put, a woman's thought life and #emotions are more prone to high highs, and low lows. This isn't a "design flaw" but rather how #God made a #woman to be in touch with the needs of small #children.
Nothing is more short-sighted as a #man than viewing a #woman as an "overly emotional" or "flawed" version of a man's thought process or #emotions. A woman that does not let her emotions out will become very #passiveaggressive, #depressed or #angry. Your job is to be an #outlet.
