- dotancohen 7y agoSome very vocal, very opinionated people are on a crusade to remove the idea that man with woman, or woman with man, is the default configuration for sex. They actively downvote any comments that suggest that M-F is "normal" all over the internet, from Reddit to StackOverflow. I would say it's been happening for a while but the past few months have been very extreme.
- Clubber 7y agoIt could simply be a single person with multiple accounts trying to manipulate the overarching discussions through downvotes. The downvoting patterns sometimes raise an eyebrow for me too. That type of behavior is termed "Call-out culture," or "Cancel culture." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call-out_culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call-out_culture
- sbuk 7y agoNope. It’s about objectification.
- dotancohen 7y agoHi, I'm the OP of this "controversal" opinion. There is nothing objectifying anybody here. I really do not see how anyone is getting at that. In what way have I made anybody an "object"? With all the respect in the world, I understand what you are crusading for. But you are on a witch hunt, and actively making people your enemies who would otherwise support your cause.
- radmarshallb 7y agoYour failure to understand how your comment could be considered "objectifying" is your own. The reasoning has been explained to you. Saying those who would point it out to you are on a "witch hunt" reveals a serious lack of reflection on your part.
- sbuk 7y agoWhat are you wittering on about? I was merely pointing out that the criticism for your, frankly crass comments has nothing to do with gender or orientation. Don’t shoot the messenger...
