This is a pretty good video but "reverse discrimination"? seriously? there
is no such thing. straight people are not oppressed and allies really do
not belong in the lgbt+ community for being a decent human being.
+staja asenith Discrimination can be individual based so technically there can be anecdotal cases of discrimination against them (aka an hypothetical "heterophobia" and or "cisphobia" ). Denying that it could happen is not a good principle even if it generaly doesn't, there are always exceptions to the rule.
Hate does not just exist on one party. It is a human emotion. Yes, Straight oppression is small, and sometimes seen as trivial. But people do kill over this stuff, and some people do use mean words. Especially in generalized revenge. (Again, I am not saying one should focus on one issue more than the other, hatred is bad for understanding and mutual respect.)LONG WINDED AND POSSIBLY ANNOYING READ HERE: Optional Say if a straight man, and let's say this individual was very loud, rude, and in general, an ass, started calling the gay and other people around him bad, making them ashamed of their bodies. Many people would be understandably sad, and maybe develop anxiety. And, anxiety is quite bad, it can make one act in ways that are emotionally charged and can lead to the use of defense mechanisms. Such mechanisms are denial, anger, Projection, regression, ETC. Now, with the wide variety of human emotions and individuality, each cope with these feelings in different ways. It is normal that people do so. Now, the anger and projection, these can be used in a manner to create a want or a drive in someone who was hurt to then hurt people themselves. And this can lead to generalities, such as all straight men as assholes, as the only experience a bullied individual may have was this person. This is where it can lead to trouble, hurting and getting angry at other people who remind one of the bully, or of their emotions, can illicit a response of anxiety. Perhaps. And, this anxiety then leads to one using anger at the source of anxiety. (Not to suggest Anger is the only mechanism used by such individuals.)And, if the anxiety is bad enough, and little reminder can lead to intense outrage. This outrage can become generalized to all people who are associated with those who were reminders of anxiety, and the source of anxiety can spread to all people. Some people get fed up with being mad, and feel bad that they get angry at people and seek help, others, (Because of their different ideas of justice) Start to target people and ADOPT this defense mechanism as a means of identity and make it a goal to do harm to others that they see as undeserving.
OK, so a majority of women don't have sex for pleasure and only want to have sex with people if it will result in offspring. Pretty dubious if you ask me, but let's do the math... if we make an overly optimistic estimate that this "majority" is 75% of women, that leaves... 900 million women for you to have sex with!Is that enough?
+strawberrylemonades Never mind. You're obviously a fucking idiot. So go stick your condescending, self-righteous goodie-goodie routine up your ass, ok? Thanks.
+Dionysian Conqueror Ummmmm no, I'm saying if what you want doesn't line up with what someone else wants, you should find someone else to date. That's how this works. Finding someone to live your life with involves finding someone you agree with on stuff like this. Sorry what you want is less common, but that's kind of not everyone else's problem, it's yours. And yeah you sound really bitter but like, are you arguing that you should be able to force a woman into having an abortion because that's kind of incredibly fucked up, and just fyi is NOT your body. If you don't want kids, use a condom. GET a vasectomy. These are things that ARE within your control, and involve YOUR body. If you 100% don't want kids don't put the burden of pregnancy prevention just on your partner.
+strawberrylemonades "you can't blame people for having their own desires for their lives" Except for what men want in their lives. Who cares, right?"You can do whatever you want to your body " So can men, like not father a child, because someone else didn't use birth control. Oh wait..that never happens.
+Dionysian Conqueror Sure, but you can't blame people for having their own desires for their lives. You can do whatever you want to your body - people can decide not to enter a relationship with you because of it. These aren't mutually exclusive.
+Seth Waters "Says the human who doesn't know how to carry on a coherent response" Right, because 'Banana peanut butter turtle' is the epitome of coherence."obviously trolly posts" but when you respond to them, they're not automatically not being 'trolly.' Right, sure."(I saw your things about "objects of insertion". I saw. I took note. Now I strike back" I didn't 'strike' you to begin with...again YOU responded. Were you born slow, or did this happen recently?
Says the human who doesn't know how to carry on a coherent response to his obviously trolly posts. (I saw your things about "objects of insertion". I saw. I took note. Now I strike back) What's that? A baby ferret! Boo!
That's why communication is such an important part of any relationship. You'll just have to find someone who is not interested in conceiving children (but, who knows, they may be interested in adopting, fostering, etc.)
was this the first thing you voiced outside of your channel Brizzy? If so
it was really impressive, full of character and life and not a hint of
Someone who'd never done one of these b4! awesome job and hopefully this is
just the start :)
