      I want S10/Ranger trucks back so bad. I’m not under the illusion of most truck owners that you actually use your truck for shit. I move a friend once a year, throw my bike in the back sometimes, random light stuff every so often, you know what 99% of people use a truck for.

      I’ve really been on the fence about getting one of those Kai Trucks from Japan with 4x4 and a hydraulic bed. It’s utterly phenomenal in practical use around town.

      The majority of porn is created for straight men. North American men, where the majority of the commercial porn industry operates, are socialised to think that finding another man attractive = gay, and gay = emasculating/bad (I don’t agree, that’s just the messaging). So the fact that porn only shows a man’s genitals serves 2 purposes: it helps maintain the “no homo” mentality, while also allowing the viewer to insert themselves into the scene. That’s now their big, veiny penis and huge cum shot. It has nothing to do with the attractiveness of men (though the statement “men are ugly” is a part of the larger problem in how our societies are socialised around gender)

      Beauty is a series of social expectations. By Eurocentric standards, in the 1800s a beautiful woman was fat. In the 2000s she was athletic, today, she is gaunt with a distinct lack of fat in her face. Nothing we see in photographs is “natural” beauty. Even this one - that woman is working. Her job is dependant on selling a sexual narrative to her customers. What you see isn’t so much “herself” as a product she has assembled with makeup and clothing in order to do her job. You are fantasising about the opportunity to be the fantasy she is selling. Not to actually be her. We don’t know what her real life is like.

        Imagine how it would be to be her for a day. Like what’s important to you is probably completely different from her perspective. Yet the question remains… Why does she choose to sell her body/image? Does she think the she has nothing else to offer? I bet there’s much more than what we see.

          The last sentence in my reply was “we don’t know what her real life is like” you’re parroting that back at me, but trying to speculate on what her life is like at the same time. We don’t know. We can’t know.

          If you really want to know what it’s like to be a woman, maybe ask a few to go for coffee and actually listen to what they have to say. They’re not these mystical creatures you are making them out to be. If you are transfemme, or a CD, that’s great. And it’s still not OK to find your own gender by compounding the stereotypes.

            Having know a number of men and women that have worked in the porn industry, and on the streets.

            The only consistent thing between the lot was they didn’t really enjoy the experience after the fact with the expection of one woman. She had actual hypersexuality disorder csbd if I recall.

            She absolutely loved doing porn and said it helps deal with the stress and anxiety she felt if she wasn’t masturbating 24/7. Basically a really shitty form of self medication. Since when she was younger getting medication to help basically wasn’t an option.

            But she had really insane stories and was genuinely a really cool person to talk to. She actually passed away a few years ago in her late 60s. She was my neighbor growing up for like 15 years.

            She also had the absolutely most fucking awesome garden iv still ever seen in my life.

            Honestly the only good neighbors we had when I was young. The rest were assholes or asshole drugdealers.

              Absolutely. Though I personally feel that if we’re choosing to perpetuate the stereotype by adopting it, we need to take the time to educate ourselves on what power that stereotype has, not to mention unpacking why we’re attracted to it: are we healing, or reopening a wound?

              Opting in to a stereotype means we can opt out, and that also means we may not be fully burdened by the harm that stereotype can do. Depending on the stereotype, we can inadvertently distress or reproduce harmful scenarios for people who do not have the option to opt out.

              I’m not responsible for where other people’s toes are on a dance floor. I am responsible for whether I’m wearing sneakers or boots, and adjusting my step if I see toes where I’m about to dance.

      Arguments like these are a major reason why there are still a lot of sexist young men. They say people are sexist because of insecurity but it’s people exactly like you who make others insecure. You may not be the whole problem, but you are in fact a majority of it.

      I have seen so many people who love and even lust over men because of other body parts than the dick. In fact, in those pictures, the dick is not even visible.

      Evidentially, your argument is an invalid, sweeping generalization targeted specifically to make people feel like shit for things they can’t even really control. You are arguing for the sake of making people feel like shit and thus your argument is invalid from the basis of its very intentions.

      To be fair, and, like, a heterosexual man in me would love to agree with you, men are different, and so are women.

      Big part of why women often appear more attractive is because culture puts more pressure on women to take very good care of their looks. When men do the same, they can look very nice and attractive.

      Besides, look an antique history and its medieval and modern heritage. Men can absolutely symbolize beauty.

      This doesn’t seem to be implied anywhere in the post… but technically, yes. Women are made of stuff and so are things.

      It’s actually more terrifying than that. Women are massive conglomerations of living blobs of stuff that are somehow also singularly alive and one stuff thats tons of different little stuffs. Yr mom is the most massive.

          Perhaps the guy supposedly renting the supposed prostitute is such a terrible father - as exhibited by his behaviour here, for example - that he is disowned by his family; thus he has no other Father’s Day presents from the kids that don’t speak to him anymore? That’s why he’s buying his own present - to feel the companionship of another human and try to reconnect with humanity for a brief moment.

          Or he just loves fucking hookers.

            I wasn’t making a moral judgment with my comment, just observing the punch line.

            It’s either women with daddy issues are funny or women are things like treats that men can use to self soothe.

                Ah yeah, I found the highly upvoted comments justifying the rape of 14 year olds. Y’know because the “consenting nature of 14 year olds” makes it justifiable because they won’t be traumatized when grown men rape them.

      Lemmy is male dominated and sometimes progressive on these issues, but mostly it’s a bunch of raging incels who want to “free the nipple” so they can stare at the nipple all day long. They hide behind their “feminism”

      And they fucking haaaaaate being called out on it. I mean like full-blown gorilla in an enclosure having a fit of rage hate. Super pathetic

        Where the fuck is “free the nipple” coming in? Yeah, guys are horny and do see nipples sexually. Why? That’s because our nipples generally look differently and thus it is easier to differentiate them from a woman’s nipple that for whatever reason (not important at the moment) has been labeled as sexual and taboo.

        Nudist societies exist and are great examples of how when things like nipples become nothing more than just another part of the body, especially with societal undertones having changed because those cannot be ignored and have been hard-wired into our brains for many decades. But when people get over the undertones, it really does become just another part of the body.

        Calling men pathetic for defending our pride and constitution is frankly pathetic in itself, and it’s comments that target a wide group of people and degrade them for something they largely cannot control and most of us don’t even understand the sexuality related to things like that, it’s like blaming a snake for not knowing how to walk after you gave it legs.

        Yeah, a guy’s feminism probably won’t be as “fierce” for lack of a better word because we do not directly feel and often not even see the issues that women tend to be facing. But there are also multiple definitions that people have established for feminism, and they are very different. One is practically just justice. The idea that men and women should be effectively equal, as in a society that no longer requires extreme strength to push a plough, there is no reason at all why there should be a gender inequality. After all, as we continue to learn more about humanity’s early past, we learn that the hunters and gatherers each were about 50/50 men and women. Humanity is more than capable of equality.

        But if in fighting for women’s power you actively demote and push men down to stand above them, you will find resistance. I stand to be equal. I stand to see a future where it doesn’t matter what gender the president is. I don’t stand for a future where women choke men down for an “equality” that is really just spiteful revenge for the past. Because the future is not the past. And people will not stand for that. But I also don’t stand for things to continue to be male-only just because they have been.

        I will not continue to debate if you attempt to degrade my argument like a “full-blown gorilla in an enclosure having a fit of rage hate” because that is both not what I am doing and it is not productive.

            Alright fair I did sort of write an essay. In broad summary, I’m arguing that for the most part it’s not individual men to blame for that but rather the fact that society for centuries has been very strict in that sense. In nudist societies it is shown that people eventually do stop caring, showing that the problem is not men. I’m arguing that men shouldn’t really be blamed for a social undertone even they don’t fully understand being the reason why “staring at a nipple all day” isn’t mostly a problem because of society.

            Also there are two types of feminism I’ve seen people talk of. One type is practical equality, and the other actively pushes men down in attempt to rise up. The second kind of feminism is likely to blame for a large percentage of men not involving themselves in feminism because arguments like these make it look like feminism is about painting men in a negative light. And of course anyone would resist something that wants to shut you down because of something you can’t control

          There are billions of photos and videos of people on the internet with people who didn’t consent to have their pictures taken. People take pictures and/or videos of people who aren’t dressing in the societal norm all the time. Especially since she’s in one of the most public spaces out there.

          I’m not trying to say that it’s right that someone took a picture of her without her consent and posted it to the internet, but she was already in public where anyone and everyone is allowed to look, and this happens with all sorts of people wearing all sorts of things. Her profession is her body, and that is something she has done to herself. If you are wearing clothing that is very well known and considered sexual in a place where sexual activity is unusual, it is unreasonable to not expect this kind of attention.

          Why that kind of clothing is sexual is a completely different conversation that is only tangentially related to this conversation and to attempt to pry at that here and know would be to degrade the entire meaning of this debate.

              I’m aware that certain economical or social environments can pressure people into taking jobs they don’t want to, but in that line of business it, regardless of whether she wanted to, was a choice she took. I understand many people do regret the choice and can find themselves trapped within the sexual business, but that is a risk they have taken and while it is unfortunate, they have decided that it was a better decision than other options they may have been presented with.

              Not everyone in the sexual industries is doing it because it’s their only option. Regardless of their opinions, they deserve respect. For those whom it is/was the only option I do wish there were better outcomes, but again, they chose it for a reason. I’d guess that many boys in her position would probably attempt to steal enough to get by, but we all know how that ends. The sexual industry is brutal and it really shouldn’t be, but there’s nothing I can do about why she chose that job, all we know is she chose that over stealing shit.

        Prostitution is one of those jobs that you don’t always choose…

        Frequently it is a choice, a poor one. But a choice none the less. But not always.

        Tho there are the few who do actually choose it because they just genuinely love having sex with randoms.

        People come in all types.

          Yeah I mostly agree with you. But of course you could instead choose to steal things for money and in my book as long as you’re stealing from billionaires I don’t really care. I mean yeah it’s a dangerous choice, but it’s another one.
