@textbookvillain we said No to a lot of social norms (like dressing for time and place) because "oppression" and now all of us, even the ones who wanted it, are living a much more oppressed /low trust life because of it. all that structure and those social norms actually gave us more freedom.
@MeghanEMurphy sex is everywhere but nothing is sexy. Watch any movie from the 70s-90s. Theyโre all far sexier than anything from the 00s. Itโs all down to dating apps and the internet in general obliterating the human component to sex & male/female relationships.
@herandrews Well meaning but naive people often make the mistake of believing people or systems are broken because they just didnโt have the right people around them or the access to the right information. Oh my dear sweet summer child. No
@MeghanEMurphy Women are going to have to go back to gatekeeping sex if they want this entirely toxic paradigm to change.
As a culture we should be deeply deeply ashamed of what weโve let happen to the state of love, dating and marriage.
@Pat_Stedman@limitlessleila Lightening up results in wasted time and being used. Itโs fine when people are younger but the older you get the more clear and intentional you need to be. I will, however, say that tone and timing matter
@AnnaKKraken and all of this is why people end up in mid relationships. because they're desperate to get out of this doom loop.
what a tragedy we have wrought upon ourselves
@willowsbythesea oof. i feel this. try telling people tallow is some of the OG skin care and it wont "clog their pores" etc..
