@realLPBeria@DerekPederson3@Atla5drugg3D@TruismsT Or you even need only look at the fact that people often tend to be more attracted to people of the same race, or have particular features like hair/eye color they find most attractive, or any number of things that are very clearly more the product of “nurture” than nature.
@DerekPederson3@Atla5drugg3D@TruismsT And even granting that something like cross dressing is obviously a far older fetish than that, it also was seemingly a far rarer one than it is today. And I think it is deliberately obtuse to act like that can’t possibly be a product of porn and culture.
@DerekPederson3@Atla5drugg3D@TruismsT Do people “naturally” have desires for I don’t know, sex with a chatbot either, or any number of things that weren’t even conceivable far in the past yet clearly are obsessive parts of people’s sexuality today? Is there some gene that makes people want these things? I doubt it.
@DerekPederson3 Funny, cause they may be the only movement that has convinced me to go from one side of an issue far to the other, simply because their arguments are that convincing and hard to refute logically. Maybe some of their rhetoric is unpleasant, but it’s even worse for the TRAs.
@realLPBeria@DerekPederson3@Atla5drugg3D@TruismsT Yeah I was about to say, good luck explaining male prisons! Or even sailors for that matter. These things are a trope as much as “lesbian until graduation” for a reason. There is no good evidence that female sexuality is just “naturally” more situational.
@DerekPederson3@TruismsT You strike me as someone who has skimmed a couple Blanchard/Bailey papers and thinks he has it all figured out. But in reality the idea that “Female sexuality=fluid/contextual, male sexuality=rigid/fixed” is itself highly oversimplified and still can be a product of conditioning.
@CurvyBug@Atla5drugg3D@DerekPederson3@TruismsT Very convenient chicken/egg style thinking, but I don’t buy that an impressionable teen exploring his sexuality through porn couldn’t possibly stumble into some algorithmic rabbit holes that expose them to and influence fetishes they never otherwise would have developed.
@Yassixx25@DerekPederson3@minervas_muse@SteveKerins Situational bisexuality likely exists in some men. “Any port in a storm” type thinking or as a last resort in a situation like prison. But that doesn’t change that their clear preference is “oriented” towards women. It’s like saying jacking off makes you attracted to yourself.
@Yassixx25@minervas_muse@DerekPederson3@SteveKerins I said rarer than both straight and gay men, which is not my opinion but an objective fact. Regardless of the exact causes of bi identity in men, every known study on the subject shows significantly fewer men identify as such compared to straight or gay. Unlike women.
@RedBirdRize@502KYGal@KySportsRadio Thought years ago maybe we should join the ACC with Louisville, UNC, Duke. Great rivalries with more parity for both basketball and even football. These days though everything is headed to mega-conferences anyway.
@KJ40601@KySportsRadio So your solution is to vote for a child (and adult woman) rapist? Don’t even pretend to care about women’s sports of all things when you vote for that and equate women controlling their own bodies with baby murder.
@minervas_muse@DerekPederson3@SteveKerins Well because “trans women” are male, it stands to reason their sexual orientation follows male patterns. And bisexuality among men in general is rarer than both homosexuality and heterosexuality (unlike with women). See Blanchard and the study I posted if you want research.
@minervas_muse@DerekPederson3@SteveKerins Actually it does. Blanchard addressed this in his original conception of AGP with the concept of “pseudo bisexuality.” That because it fit with their fetishized idea of what a woman is sexually, some AGPs get off to sex with men but only when imagining themselves as women.
@minervas_muse@SteveKerins@DerekPederson3 Real women don’t get a rush out of the idea of being a woman, they simply are.
Also a lot of them very much seem to like making their “girl dicks” the center of everything. And have very male typical sexual patterns.
@minervas_muse@SteveKerins@DerekPederson3 You are assuming that trans identity causes AGP rather than the other way around, but that’s what people are asserting. That the fetish for imagining yourself as a woman came first and the idea that you might actually be or identify as a woman came in response to it.
@liberallisa20 @BLindstrom84762 @ThirdWayKessler Well even if it disappoints, good news is it’s the least relevant swing state in terms of EVs and we can win without it.
@wanyeburkett Opposing abortion rights (and supporting a rapist) shows a general lack of respect for women as people who can make their own decisions and run their own lives. That’s the real issue.
@jessesingal Jesse I hope you can understand now why some people even if they know you are technically right about the gender stuff get pissed at you for going on about it. We just see the much bigger threat in front of us and feels like missing forest for the trees.
