I think a lot of the difference is if it’s referring to. Woman. I don’t mind guys saying bitch but it should NEVER be used to refer to a woman imo, even non meanly, no matter the sexuality. But I’m a bit puritan about it bc I’ve simply never had to put up with any men who do that so my standards can be high
I totally get that. I personally don’t prefer it but i’m not going to diss on someone else for what they like when they’re being intimate w their partner. There are some men who like to be degraded as well. It happens more often than you think, though their degradation is a bit different than women’s. It’s usually less popular, so yeah, the patriarchy is a factor here.
i’m familiar with femdom and it does not happen often, trust. the male doms/alpha males shame sub men for being into that because they think submission and degradation is a woman’s role. i thought we’d be past patriarchal sex by now but it is internalized and indoctrinated, unfortunately.
oh my god me being into one kinky thing in bed does not automatically mean i’m somehow upholding patriarchal values. it may be a weird thing to YOU and that’s fine but you feeling the need to comment on this and imply that my sexual preferences are somehow societally manufactured and something women wouldn’t authentically want - THAT is weird.
yes, culture/patriarchy absolutely influences sexual preferences to SOME extent. that doesnt mean that every woman who likes rough & degrading sex secretly hates herself & that her sexual preferences stems from being oppressed by men. sub men also exist and it’s j less openly discussed bc of gender expectations.
my og comment said “the ONLY time IM OKAY W IT”- i understand context and consent and this doesn’t mean i actually cater to patriarchal standards IRL. there’s no need to kinkshame me by implying i have “low standards” just bc im not as vanilla in bed as u (which is fine btw). so you don’t need to over-intellectualize some random comment on yikyak.
there’s a nuance. women can hold men accountable all day, but if you’re not doing your part (using discernment and being vigilant), it’s counterproductive. some of the things women go through are easily preventable. women nowadays refuse to listen to their female friends and then want act oblivious when men still continue doing bs.
