i’m here to share a revolutionary fact: no one has a right to sex. you could die a virgin and companionless and it would not be a crime against humanity. i know. shocking. learn to give yourself an orgasm if u really want one and leave everyone else alone, holy shit

i need you to eat my shit if you ever even unintentionally promote the idea that if someone is genuinely financially struggling they could always just sexually exploit themselves

I feel like the people reacting to your relationship post are being willfully obtuse. To me it was pretty obvious you're not condemning separatism at all

Perhaps I could have worded it better but I thought it was clear that I was just addressing the relationship aspect of it, not separatism as a whole. And I don’t condemn anyone who wants to completely seperate herself from men, gay or straight. Most women don’t have that option though, so the fact we do have that option already shows our privilege in some way. I’m just being more realistic by saying that most straight women do want a relationship at some point in their life and I think that’s only natural behaviour.

I agree, but I suppose that makes sense since I’m also straight. I’m always happy to have separatists in our community because I like the diversity of opinions, I feel it makes the community stronger. But I also think it’s unrealistic to ask straight women to never date men when it’s our orientation. I feel like a far more nuanced discussion is in order, like talking about degrees of separatism (maybe you date men, but some parts of your life are off limits to men, like your providers, spirituality, hobbies, etc…), or giving actual pertinent advice to women who might still want relationships with men (like always, always, always, having your own bank account, a job, and control of your own money- because then you have means to leave if necessary). Just blanket statement saying you shouldn’t date men ever is super alienating, and is going to push out women who are in relationships already, or who may not have the means to leave.

Listen this is why gerrymandering is such a massive, massive problem down here in the south.

Texas has been slowly becoming a Latinx majority state for decades. You wouldn’t know it by the way Texas votes because gerrymandering exists. Rich southern conservatives always win the votes because of this. (Lack of decent education doesn’t help.)

Worst of all, they try to teach us in school that the federal government bullies the state by making the state submit its redistricting plans for approval before redistricting can take place.

In reality, it’s because the gerrymandering would get even worse if the state was allowed to do as it pleased.

Gerrymandering and voter suppression are why the south looks the way it does in elections. The south is poor and more diverse than a significant part of the rest of the country, and all of the marginalized people get thrown under the bus by the whole country and by both parties.

So yeah when you wish bad things on the south, you’re being pretty indescribably shitty because let me tell you, the south already has “bad things” happen in significant amounts.
