everyone's lonely now so they praise collectivism but overlook the fact that it's highkey a surveillance state and you have little to no personal freedom. individualism isn't the answer either mind you, but a balance between the two is optimal
Sometimes I think what ppl miss when they say they want “community” is that community historically included ppl you would not have chosen 😭 annoying cousins, nosy neighbors, elders in your business are part of that unfortunately. Im so guilty of this
@krystalshanelle i'm around socially conservative women from conservative cultures so yeah. this specific element of gender roles is extremely entrenched into some cultures
@krystalshanelle no, that's my point. they 100% understand, they're just covertly (socially) conservative women themselves or have been brought up by conservative cultures who laud this type of thing. i don't think any serious leftist is saying this bs
@omagoth_ idk i think feminists have been doing so for a long time ( ie political lesbianism, positing that attraction to men is a form of moral turpitude) it's been around since the late 60's and general second wave feminism discourse. we're just seeing a resurgence of it
ngl i hate that women aren't allowed to talk about having kinks without feminists writing thinkpieces on how they're "normalizing" misogyny like girl you are reinventing "women must be pure because dicks and sex corrupt them" conservatism from step one
ppl who are into power imbalance in their ships seem to mostly portray the powerful person being comfortable in their role nd I barely see one of these being more sensitive and brooding over the impossibility of their subject truly choosing them freely thus resenting the dynamic
@rimstims too broad imo. capitalism is definitely part of the problem, but it productised the most lucrative aspects of misogyny and marketed it as indispensable. there misogyny was before capitalism and i'd argue there always will be unless there's some major radical upheaval
@RAIMONDxoxo@UkeCreature right? i feel that creating a film about the status quo for a lot of countries is a very western-centric neolib idea 😭 people get killed and have been killed for having premarital sex with the "wrong" person or "wrong" time for genuine millennia
@skipppppy_art problem is that a sizeable amount of the population discounts and rejects the notion that such immigrant contributions are valid contributions anyway
