"How did we not see this?" "How did we not know that what Ariana Grande/Jamie Lynn/Amanda Bynes were doing was a sexual reference?"

Because that is part of the appeal, guys. The fact that you're part of an unwilling, not-understanding audience exposed to metaphors of sexual acts performed by unwilling, not-understanding actors.

You were not supposed to get what "Taynt" was supposed to mean, or what milking potatoes was a nod to, or what a pickle being passed through a hole in a bathroom door was meant to be.

It's all part of the fantasy, pushing children so, so close to the edge without "ruining" them, without giving them access to enough information that they turn into adults.

Wonder why Ariana Grande, in those internet skits, kept repeating "Can a teenage girl do this?" and "Can a teenage girl do that?" This is why. She's supposed to perform sexual adjacent acts, but constantly remind her audience that she's just too young to know what she's doing.

A woman was one of the discoverers of the Epstein-Barr virus (Yvonne Barr), a woman synthesised the first pertussis/whooping cough vaccine (Leila Denmark), and a three woman team combined the pertussis vaccine with diphtheria and tetanus vaccines to create the combined DTP vaccine (Grace Eldering, Loney Gordon, and Pearl Kendrick).

A woman proved HIV causes AIDS (Flossie Wong-Staal), a woman discovered the coronavirus group of viruses (June Almeida), and a woman lead the team that identified the structure of poliovirus (Rosalind Franklin).

Just saying.

Claiming that defining women as "adult human female" is "reducing women down to genitals/reproductive organs" is just a way to try to flip the, "Stop sexually objectifying women" on feminists.

Sexual objectification is not seeing women as anything other than a reproductive resource or something to fuck.

But saying "all women are female" is not saying "Women are only vaginas and reproductive organs". Femaleness is not inherently "just something to fuck", and saying "all women are female" is not saying that we aren't also human with thoughts and feelings.

This is asking about your opinion on your personal diagnosis status, NOT your opinion on formal/self diagnosis in general, and NOT whether you're happy to be autistic or not. Just whether you're happy to have that information on paper or not.

We ask your questions so you don’t have to! Submit your questions to have them posted anonymously as polls.

#not formally diagnosed #several of my family members who have experience #two with a formally diagnosed autistic son/brother #and one who was trained in identifying kids with autism #believe wholeheartedly that I'm autistic #but then my one aunt's son started displaying behaviour that was very familiar to her #and her older son just came out with it one day and asked her if I was autistic because I was like his younger brother #when I was younger everyone just thought it was the trauma #my other aunt meanwhile was trained on what to look for in autistic students #and basically like you're describing my niece #but by the time they came to that conclusion they were in other countries #and my nana agreed with them but was dying of cancer so she couldn't do much in trying to get me assessed for that #I brought it up once to a doctor and she dismissed it out of hand #but she also didn't really have much experience with autistic people so... #I currently work with my friend who understands my limitations so it's rarely an an issue #I don't have a family doctor currently and trying to get one is a shit show #if I did I'd seek formal diagnosis just to get that out of the way #or if I was working somewhere I couldn't function without accommodations I'd bite the bullet #so not formally diagnosed but would like to be at some point

Regarding insults for men, since some take issue with moid and scrote:

And I would like to know reasons why. :)

I saw a post saying "If porn and prostitution were empowering men would be doing it" and while I absolutely agree I would add:

"If porn and prostitution were empowering men would be fighting to prevent women from doing it at all"
