Scholarly complaint: Psychologists need to stop talking about men and women like they are different species. Psychologists, when talking about demonstrated gender differences, have a really bad habit of physiologically essentializing the differences and talking about men and women not like part of a spectrum of diversity of human embodiment and experience, but like they are different animals. It makes me want to scream. This also is where we often see evolutionary psychology as a discipline go completely off the rails into misogyny land. Whenever I read the "hypothesis" an evolutionary psychologist puts forward on gender differences, it sounds like they have never spoken to an anthropologist. Instead, their assumed evolutionary pressures look more like the Flinstones than anything that actually ever happened. Like, my colleagues in social science, just go across the hall and speak to an anthropologist for 10 minutes please!!!
This is a little too real. 😅😅😅 I have both contacted and been contacted in this exact manner. Also, we have better opsec than the current secretary of war, so…like…they’ll probably be baffled and give up in like 5 minutes 🤣 From: @Rabbit https://infosec.exchange/@ra6bit/115234244078840933
Hot take: masturbation and sex are praxis. Just going to cook this a bit: one of the greatest pleasures and joys of living in a human body is available to us literally at any time and for free. And it can be enjoyed in abundance. Literally, you can just masturbate any time, day or night, and have a bit of happiness. This is why capitalist societies are reinforced by religious and cultural ideologies that want to criminalize, pathologize, and make you feel guilty for both masturbation and sex. It can be available for free and without profit to anybody, and can’t be fenced off like the public commons to be rented or sold. This is also why they work so hard to make us think that we need a partner who has rare and special traits to feel satisfied with sex. They want us to desire something they can turn into a commodity. So even racist beauty standards and fatphobia serve the capitalist effort by trying to undermine our sexual satisfaction. But all one has to do is have a single fun sexy time with a partner that isn’t considered conventionally “sexy” to realize it’s bullshit. Literally, sexual pleasure and joy, whether by oneself or with a partner, remains an abundant resource for satisfaction that is free and relatively easy to accomplish. Everything that feeds into trying to restrict, undermine, and make us feel guilty for it will fail by simply experiencing this pleasure and joy. Masturbation and sex are anti-capitalist praxis. And yes, if someone flirts with me by suggesting we overthrow corporations with our genitals, I will be extremely giddy and turned on. 🤭
One advantage of being unemployed is that I can call Charlie Kirk a vomit-slurping, shitfucking fascist bootlicker that literally experienced the consequences implied by a life of minimizing public shootings and encouraging political violence against BIPOC, religious minorities, and LGBTQ+ people. I wish there was an afterlife so he could just watch the scene of his own death over and over again to know how much this was poetic justice - and see how people laughed at him. And I hope every young MAGA person wrapped up in this fascist movement by the shithead is now thinking twice about being a fascist bootlicker.
I love that posts on the fediverse are like: -radioactive things! -boobs -obscure but deeply fascinating hyperfocus -Linux -someone talking about how happy they are to have or get rid of boobs -fuck fascists in the eyeballs This is basically what I want from my friend groups
"A Christian...A man who calls out through his deeds: 'Come to me, I shall redeem you!' ... A divine element works in him. making him the man he is and causing him to act in this way and no other. One man must set an example and offer himself up as a sacrifice!" Does this sound like what people are saying about Charlie Kirk? Well, that was Goebbels eulogizing their own assassinated martyr, Horst Wessel. Wessel was a Nazi SA member who was assassinated by communist party members in 1930. Wessel was propagandized into a martyr and his death was used to pull in sympathy for Nazis. Today would be a good time to get familiar with what happened after Wessel died because they are using the exact same playbook here right now.
