my dad died about 40 hours ago now and in the past 30 hours, relatives have been showing up at my house and taking over the space in ways i’m awkwardly grateful for because they’re loud to fill what was silent and making food for us who barely have the energy to do anything except for cry whenever they ask us if we miss our dad

“They’re trying to convince people they can’t do the things they’ve been doing easily for years – to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies – to write that for you.” We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, “that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won’t know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can’t do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won’t have to process grief, because you’ll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it’s going to destroy humans, long before there’s a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people.”

As A Straight™ it remains absolutely baffling to me the number of straight women who act repulsed by men's bodies. Literally what are you getting out of this*

(*the weird pretense that you're not horny for d*ck and/or straightness; interpret as you will)

[chamerionwrites]

I don't care enough about the Today Show to investigate further but apparently there was some kerfuffle in which the phrase "hairy man thighs" was used in a derogatory and body-shaming manner?????????

Absolutely unhinged slander against one of THE most compelling parts of the male anatomy. Please send all the hairy man thighs my way since you obviously neither appreciate nor deserve them

[chamerionwrites]

You say "hairy man thighs" in a tone that suggests I'm NOT getting distracted while watching men's soccer because my lizardbrain is going awooga like a dude with the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition

[chamerionwrites]

You. You understand me

Exhibit #43719 of people calling anyone who doesn't perform Femininity™ correctly a ~pick me~ as if this is somehow a win for feminism lol. Oh no, I'm not repulsed by the bodies of people I sleep with and I find it bizarre when other people claim to be. Must be my internalized misogyny showing.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway what I actually think would be a win for feminism is if women would examine why they do this. Is it performative disavowal of desire because society shames them for expressing any hint of authentic sexuality? Is it genuine repulsion toward sex with men and/or sex in general? In either case, sad and concerning! You deserve better than the chains of gender roles and/or compulsive heterosexuality!

Also, as a general matter of human decency, I think body-shaming is bad and that you should be nice to the people you sleep with. We all agree that men who claim to be attracted to adult women whilst acting revolted if she has a speck of hair anywhere below her eyebrows - or whatever other aspect of her existing in a normal human body as opposed to being like. a disembodied concept of Female™ - are the most joyless erotically impoverished pathetic losers imaginable. Call me crazy but imho women should not emulate the behavior of the most boorish and boring brand of straight man.

By rehearsing the view that ‘men are the worst’ while continuing to pursue romantic and sexual attachments with them, we perform an othering gesture that shores up the purity or innocence of our own identities. We may love men, we declare, but we barely enjoy it, okay?; we are embarrassed; we are not contaminated by them; we are not they. In other words, we get to continue to be ‘women’. Perhaps, semi-unconsciously, we had worried that the very category of ‘women’ had become untenable. If we can only continue to reproduce the category ‘men’ loudly enough, then, we wager, the category ‘women’ might stay safe.

I think human beings are turned off right now. Of course it is tempting to rationalise our turned-off-ness with reference to Covid-19. But i
