🧵: Amatonormativity is rooted, in part, in Capitalism – which is why many of us (especially Allos) view relationships as TRANSACTIONAL and ACQUISITIONAL.
I want to ponder on this more. If any Mutuals and/or Aspec people have opinions on this, please feel free to add them.
There is a contradiction in defending the autonomy of children and simultaneously dehumanizing them to win arguments against white, conservative Christians. 1/?
We should not wish children of color be adopted by white parents, lgbtq kids be adopted by homo/transphobic parents, disabled children be adopted by ableist parents as a way to teach those parents a “lesson” about their prejudice.
Safe sex is YOUR choice in this matter, if you don’t practice it and your body does what it naturally has done every month for years and you end up conceiving everything up to that point was YOUR CHOICE
rather than try to defend a system that is constantly abusing you (a fawning trauma response), you can admit that you feel powerless to change anything. you can admit that you don’t know what to do otherwise. both responses tell the truth about the reality our circumstances.
@AauCritic@SEHuntington13 Do you know how much it costs to fly? Or even to drive across multiple states with gas as high as it is? …Apparently, you don’t live in the US.
@CassetteGun @owomouse@EtherealChi@AbedNaqueer I’m not offended. But to be fair — you named 2 movies out of an entire industry. The vast majority of r*pe scenes glorify assault, humanize assailants, or use r*pe as a “comedic” bit. It is rare that it is ever done in good faith.
@CassetteGun @owomouse@EtherealChi@AbedNaqueer Has that ever been the case though? R*pe scenes in film/TV only ever fetishize assault and humanize the assailant, while acting as if r*pe is necessary character development for (usually women) characters.
