I hate the idea of kink-shaming. Having boundries and being a prude, fucking fine and good. People should kink-shame all they fucking want.

Just more proof that Third Wave feminism was a men's sexual rights movement.

I should have said Men's Sexual DEMANDS movement.

Just like it's not Trans Rights Activism, it's Trans DEMANDS Activism

The word you're looking for is libertinism. What today's GITs (gender ideology tyrants) are pushing is male libertinism masquerading as a liberation movement that will free us all.

Oxford definition of libertine: a person, especially a man, who behaves without moral principles or a sense of responsibility, especially in sexual matters

Especially so because it always seems to me that these people who are being "kink-shamed" are veering on pedophilia (like the TiM's in this excerpt) or some other sexual deviancy. In essence, yet another super woke way to make abusive behaviour acceptable, and the so-called progressives are cheering them on! Intersectional feminists at the helm, as usual.

Strangulation is a huge red flag in domestic violence for worse violence in the future and potential homicide. But by all means, “choke me, Daddy,” right?

I watch a lot of non-US entertainment and have seen a dark trend, especially out of Latin America, of BDSM being normalized.

In one show, the hero starts to strangle his sex partner but then they don't show the rest. What is ironic is that the same show made a big deal about how awful domestic violence is, showing brutal scenes of a woman being beaten by her lover in which you're obviously meant to be shocked and horrified.

Another Mexican (?) show had two lovers - always rich, white-looking people - bring out bondage gear and whips. This particular show seemed to be aimed at an uneducated audience, so what message do average women take out of watching rich, white Mexicans prepare to handcuff and whip each other as sexual gratification?

Nothing good.

My point being that the BDSM gas-lighting seems to be going on in many parts of the world. Who does it benefit? Not women.

There’s a lot of colorism in Mexican culture and it’s tied to class. Tall, rich, white; short, brown, poor.

Yeah, I have noticed that speaking to immigrants from Latin America and watching Latin American shows. Mexicans seem to dislike blacks whereas Columbians seem to be more comfortably multi-racial. But that's just my impression, I know almost nothing.

The sex positive crowd somehow ended up being bigger, more controlling assholes than the abstinence crowd at my childhood baptist church.

Well that’s... certainly an achievement 😅

Yes. If you normalize something in a way that you can't criticize it anymore, then it's no longer a kink. But, there's always something else just beyond the re-established boundary to call "kinky" again... and so it advances. The slippery slope is real.

It's literally just sexualised domestic violence. You could go through a list of bdsm activities and you could find them all in domestic violence cases. Maybe not 1 = 1 but e.g. for bondage you might find examples of restricting movement by locking someone in a room, pinning them down, grabbing their arms so they can't move, not letting them leave the house.

Exactly, which is what makes it so frightening that not only is it normalized by "feminists" but anyone who won't participate is made fun of, and we know what being made fun of does to adolescents.

Back in the before times, when people were less crazy (women were women and men were men....). that's not even remotely what kink shaming meant. (And it shouldnt, but i realize it now is used that way and its nonsense).

Kink shaming meant leaving what two consenting adults. did, in their own bedroom. in private, was their business. and if shared in a space that asked to know about that business, you didn't get to bitch and moan or complain about what other people did.

Now it's used as boundary pushing which is all sorts of complete assininse nonsense.
