Hit Me With That Gay Shit Until I Expire

[apiphile]

SaturdayI achieved my first non-stop 20 minute run. Possibly in my entire life. Also worked on hanging leg raises, which are definitely a thing I can do but a thing that my body hates me for doing, especially my stomach, which is good because it means that bit may even be induced to sprout a muscle

Hey!

People so need to think about their insults. Especially since the odds of the target hearing the oh-so-original "That lady's fat and therefore a bad person! I'm going to call that woman trans to imply she's unattractive and gross! That guy is so morally shitty he must have a mental illness!" jokes is much lower than some random fat person, trans person, or mentally ill person. (And if you're going to do the "But the person I hate has said nasty things about women being ugly, while being ugly himself, so I'm pointing out the sexist double standard!" thing, put some effort into your phrasing first, instead of being all "Ha-ha uggo!" and then backtracking when caught.)

So, on the gendered marketing of vibrators - women don't want dicks as much as guys do?

They're just being really disingenuous and resentful and not really listening to what I'm saying because they want to carry on doing lazy insults and it's annoying me.

SOMEONE HAS APPARENTLY NOTICED THAT WOMEN DON'T CARE MUCH FOR DICKS AND MEN ARE *OBSESSED* WITH THEM.

I can see why. It's a shitty thing to do.

Yep! Well, you know, men need to be reassured that they want it up the butt in a really masculine way, and women that it's enjoying some discreet ladypleasures. Otherwise people might not know how to gender, and then where would we be? (Somewhere awesome!)

And also those are the things people agonise about. "Am I still MASC ENOUGH or did I EFFEMINISE" / "Am I still a delicate ladyflower or have I become REVOLTING by enjoying sexual things?"

I too am trapped in faffing hell. Idk what has possessed Robyn but I can't get her to do shit without a minimum of an hour's prodding, which meant a solid half of the convention this weekend was us missing anything I wanted to do because I couldn't get her up and about, and now her losing her wallet is an added annoyance that I now know happened TWO WEEKS AGO and she just.... hasn't... done anything? If I say Imma be somewhere at X o'clock I'm there quarter to X ok OK OKAAAAY

Executive dysfunction is a depression symptom :(

your food pictures are making me hungry and i had dinner! (stuffed squash. good and good for you.)

i am entirely unsurprised that vibrators are gendered, but the way they are makes it seem as if whoever's making them assumes that men REALLY WANT TO FEEL IT when they're being fucked, and women care more about how the things look. i guess?

Stuffed squash is the NUTS though, what a good choice

The thing is those fucking ... there is an aesthetic choice being made there, too. What they mean is "these vibrators are aimed at men who REALLY WANT TO FEEL MASCULINE and are insecure about their desire to have their ass plowed" which is fucking stupid but the main thing I have gauged from poking around gay porn is that gay men are men and men (I include myself in this) are also fucking stupid.
