[–]CatbugMods allow rape victim blaming in this sub :) 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Sure, people fetishise various things that are associated with femininity or masculinity. But human sexuality has been tied into gender more and more over the last few decades and sexualised femininity.

I don’t think the two can be separated entirely. Our sexuality is influenced by external factors and gender norms are part of them.

It seems like we're living through an era where gender roles are especially rigid and exaggerated. Women and girls are presented in increasingly pornified ways.

I don’t think the two can be separated entirely.

What do you think of my desert island example? Do you think people would "get over" gender if they forced to in a situation like that?

Yeah, I think they would tbh.
