Here’s your Quote of the Day from the Men’s Rights subreddit. Well, not so much of THIS day as of a day four months ago, but, hey, I only discovered it today with the assistance of the AgainstMensRights subreddit. Bonus points if you can tell me what the hell a “public organ-orifice” is and/or how an AVALANCHE can “blare.”
Quite and excellent comment indeed!
And onward marches the World’s Greatest Guaranteed Top Quality Human Man Rights Man-Movement of the Twenty-First Century!
Watch as dudely dude performs a triple reverse cowgirl and nails the landing. 5.2 from the Russian judge.
It’s a pile of kittens! SQUEE!
Time to get on the floor and get dirty…what, I need to repot some plants! XD
Re “The Kink Community”. I have friends in SF who are kinky. They do parties. I’ve catered some. It’s a pretty big spectrum, from those who like to watch/be watched, to those who like to be hit/hit, do scenes, sit around and snuggle their way through an evening and if it leads to sex it leads to sex, etc.
They are a diverse crowd. Tops/Bottoms, of course. But straight/gay/lesbian/queer. I know a woman who is bi, and she goes to parties because her male partner isn’t into threesomes; so she goes to play with other women. I know men who want to be played with by anyone who wants to play with them, and put themselves into the love swing, sometimes with a blindfold, sometimes not.
I’ve been approached by lots of people. I’ve seen demos of some things which I had zero personal interest in, but were interesting technical discussions.
But the woman who runs those parties is hellbent on safe-space, and consent. These days she has a cuddle-party/consent workshop a week, or two, before the event, so people can get to know each other, and work on consent in a non-sexual environment.
Consent isn’t that hard to arrange, nor limits to set, if the community wants to do it.
Ow.
As usual, woman does all the work, dude gets the credit.
@precunium- That sounds like a great community. Yay!
#hellkell- I concur.
So I googled love swing to see if it was another term for what I thought it was (yup) and this was the only picture I liked of all of them. 🙂
Falconer – I really love how smitten you are with your babies. Too many new fathers think that squeeing over their offspring is just for mum.
The thing about unexperienced dudes who are totally into porn…they don’t seem to know where the clitoris is located. That’s weird, right?
Shiraz: seems to be a feature not bug with those dudes.
Completely OT (and SUUUUUUPER gross and fascinating) but a perfect refutation to “womenz cannot do the hunting!” It is a video of a really cool lady breaking down a wolf carcass.
@WeeBoy- YES MORE PICTURES OF BABIES PLEASE *ahem*
I got in an accident today. I cried and I called my mother. Stupid parking lots. And I won’t hear back from my insurance until Monday.
🙁
I could use a drink, but I have to go to work.
I’m gonna go now, wishing all you great people a lot more nice conversations!
And again, may I compliment your metaphorical living room.
Wait wrong video. This is the right one:
Hellkell, *chuckle* yeah, I guess so.
Bye TomBcat. Oh Melody, I’m sorry. You’re OK, aren’t you? You weren’t injured?
Melody, that sucks, hope you’re okay.
So true.
@katz, I want to adopt ALL THE KITTIES. Hazel and Buster would kill me though.
And Hellkell’s kitty is cute as a survival strategy, clearly. Do unforgivable things and then look adorable >> get forgiven. It works!
I’m fine. I’m just worried. I don’t really have a lot of money and if my insurance won’t pay for the damage (minimal to be honest) then I’m not sure what I can do.
I didn’t get a ticket. The cop seemed to think that even though I backed up it might not only be my fault. I was pretty far out when I hit her car. I can’t believe she didn’t see me.
My car is fine too. Just paint scratched. And I really don’t know if I could afford my insurance going up right now.
My job involves me driving clients and I think my record has to stay clean in order to keep transporting my clients.
M Dubz – I spent the better part of a year doing that for a living, back in the 90s. It was preparing skeletons for a mamalogy collection. Biggest animal I had to do was a koala – which is plenty big enough when you’re talking about a deep-frozen animal you have to lug around!
Melody, hope you’re okay, internet hugs if you want them!
@Kitteh I do not claim to have coined “Domly Dom”. It is a common insult now on fetlife.
@TomBCat I hope you work out some sort of personal resolution to the situation involving the guy who screwed up and then apologized. (Even never seeing each other again can be a resolution.) Thanks for the compliment. So much of interest. I find people I really enjoying playing and who enjoy me playing them, but I wonder about the whole context. In some sense though, I do my best to do right and to stop mining my motivations for reasons to hate myself.
@m Dubz There is the “scene” which is definitely cis hetero white male centric. I am trying my best to separate that from all of kinkdom. I have friends who are kink-friendly and have their own thing going but would never consider going to a munch. Every time I try to say something profound, I feel silly. It’s all as complicated as any large group of people. Still, there is the assumption that being a man means being a dom/me or that all right thinking people are d-type and all s-types are broken. This works especially bad for subs experiencing drop. All those confusing emotions and cultural baggage serve as an excellent chink in the armor for some destructive tendencies to slip in through.
An insult worth repeating, though! 😀
By the way, Happy Easter. (TW: for creepy as fuck easter bunnies.)
Heh. i see it used most often against those Doms who think they can dominate people into liking their kink, their gender preferences, the Dom, or sometimes try to Dom their way into consent.
I have some loving, open, wonderful male friends who have some aspects of this, but the ones who veer into the last one get shunned in the community.
Finding MRAs in the scene is depressing in general.
Easter bunnies also terrorize dogs. Who will end the easter bunny reign of terror?
