Feminists point out the social expection of the availability of women's bodies for use. They have been and will continue to be accused of oppressing and marginalizing johns. It's a straightforward situation in which johns are iden

Exactly. But you will be told that you are policing choices, restricting freedoms, or even oppressing people for pointing out that social expectations exist. Because of the natural process of selection, the ideology of social neoliberalis

Do you or do you not believe in the gender socialization of women? Do you believe femininity, as a culturally constructed set of expectations, is a neutral and non-destructive, or positive and constructive, historical event in human history

"Ad hominem" has a specific definition -- in what way does it apply to any of what I have written? Do you use a non-standard definition?

You deliberately simplify my assertions into other ones to make them seem irrelevant or obvious. This is intellectual dishonesty in service of mitigating the perceived threat of another's point, rather than engaging with it.

The extreme attention applied to all these stories arises out of the need of men in tech and finance to document the proof that women are liars and tricksters -- that these legal cases are all individual anecdotes doesn't matter. You

I think we are lucky that the top comment even mentions Saudi Arabia, towards the end, in passing. The degree to which the mainstream works at misdirection away from the reality of Saudi Arabia becomes more and more profound by the year.

>Everybody want essentially the same things, to have their essential needs fulfilled : food, home, health, family, freedom No, everyone does not want "family", which I assume means a spouse and children. Family is not essential

The abstract seems to deliberately construct a misrepresentation and uses it as motivation for the paper: "Common maxims about beauty suggest that attractiveness is not important in life." The authors go on to imply that those max

"Beauty" has always been entirely socially constructed. There is no such thing as beauty, even when Beyonce "creates it". It is an invention of men as part of the larger social construcion of gender -- hence "what b

If one is still able to use the framing of "inequality" and "exclusion" then it seems as if Foucault hasn't helped much. "Gender" is a system of resource extraction. Women are not "excluded" in t

"Second-wave essentialism couldn't handle the 1% of intersex people, for example, or the existence of trans individuals." What a dishonest attempt at a characterization. You took the opporunity of the readers' unfamiliar

This is a rant, one of weaker ones for PopeHat. There is nothing on the history or nature of the idea of "safe spaces" beyond a couple of anecdotes in the form of links to previous PopeHat posts. There is zero mention of queer pol

Women are photoshopped and presented as objects in the mainstream media. Women are constantly getting in trouble or losing their jobs for saying the wrong thing, e.g. "no" to sex and harassment.

Do you have any evidence that any of this is actually the case? In my experience it is Zionist feelings verses actual facts that BDS activists present about Israel's expansion. Your anecdotes against mine, I suppose.

An honest reply could be, say, "it's true that, if I use a prostitute, there is no way of knowing whether she is consenting or if she is financially coerced and it is therefore forced, but is the same not true of clothes? How do I

B knows because B had the information "16th", and "16th" is unique among the July and August dates.
