In reply to the discussion: The penis as a terrorism device [View all]4th law of robotics
(6,801 posts)21. Apparently saying one should be free to watch porn
implies that one believes all women must be forced in to porn against their will (hence the claims that men believe it is their right to use any woman for any purpose).
This makes sense just like it makes sense to say that if I feel I have a right to use my car to drive down to the local fast foodery and use my money to purchase a cheeseburger from someone who has chosen to work in that field and be compensated for it according to the laws of the land that means that my right to do all that implies a right to force anyone I choose in to that role as cheeseburger producing slave.
Besides prostitutes... what about the men who think that marriage means they have an absolute, unarguable right to satisfy their need for sex with their wife at any time?
That doesn't sound like any marriage I've ever heard of. I usually would think sex is assumed to be part of a healthy marriage. Is she decides she doesn't want it ok, but that should be grounds for a divorce (she has a right not to have sex, she doesn't have a right to force that choice on someone else). Likewise no wife has the right to simply talk to their husbands and actually get a response. However if the husband takes that route he probably won't have a happy marriage.
I get that people are naturally going to fall on a bell curve when it comes to most traits, interest in sex being no exception. So while there are people who have to have sex all the time that implies there are people who have no interest in it.
I get that.
But I don't get the contempt for those who view sex (yes even the dreaded PIV sex, and not just for making babies) as an important part of their lives. Yes you could live without it. You could live without music, art, nice food, all forms of entertainment really. That doesn't mean it wouldn't be a major loss for you. So perhaps just let people have sex and stop trying to shame them for enjoying what you don't enjoy. Just a thought.

I assume that capitalization and punctuation are also part of a paternalistic conspiracy.

I thought it was just that the caps lock button at the library was broken.

And of course, they banned you even though one of their members violated their own SOP first

I think the group and its members have descended into a form of wingnuttery, ie outside the TOS

They have definitely crossed the line into seperatist feminism with this anti-PIV stuff.

Their view boils down to, the penis is evil, and people with penises who want sex are evil...

Yes, it's hard not to make obvious assumptions about who the target of this virulent diatribe is
