I’m a guy, and personally I enjoy violet’s hornypostings - hope to see more!
woman existing outside the kitchen is already political, the bar is that low
Woman exists, it’s political. Cause how is she sitting, what is she wearing, what is she doing, is she doing a good enough job?
what?
There’s a frequent poster over in the lemmyshitpost comm who’s been catching backlash for hornyposting, and she posted this image which I thought was darkly funny. I thought other horny femmes (and embies and whomever) might appreciate the sentiment. Maybe it’s just me, but I like the idea that my being a thirsty pan isn’t pathetic, just political.
I’m honestly sad about this. Like, men can make horny jokes in any space that allows horny jokes, but heaven forbid femmes do the same. There is some bullshit going on outside of my usual comms and it’s frustrating.
I think part of what’s confusing is the grammar - am I supposed to read it as
“women who are perverts” <- this is deeply political
or is it a typo and it should be “women who are perverts are deeply political”?
either way, yeah - women and sexuality are both deeply political, duh
Por que no los dos?
I see people using the word “political” to refer to things that provoke discussions and/or disagreements (not sure if that’s the case here). Wouldn’t “controversial” be a better word for that use?
As far as I understand, political means being involved in public affairs of some kind, like working in politics, doing activism, etc.
I’m not a native English speaker, so correct me if I’m wrong.
Yes, here in the USA “political” can refer to all the things you mentioned, as well as being a synonym for “controversial”. But its meaning has been stretched and twisted here.
For example, there’s a whole line of discourse about what constitutes “a political act”, i.e. something that contributes to advocacy: you may have heard someone say “love is a political act” or “trans joy is a political act”. And sometimes “political act” is just shortened to “political”.
And disingenuous right-wing grifters have adopted the word to refer to any agenda the disagree with, and they intend it as derogatory. It’s a loaded word, now.
