Yeah, you can say it about anyone I feel. "how dare you attack me/my group with that accusation!" And it can be used insidiously, and Jewish people as a group or groups probably have some nontrivial amount of influence, so it's important that women can criticize women who go around condemning "anti-semitism".

Yes, I agree with you a lot, nobody should be shielded when it comes to valid criticism or debates, imo

I had no idea having makeup correlated with women having more rights.

Yes, i learned this from the book Face Paint by Lisa Eldrigde, in this book she writes about the history of makeup and its affect on culture, she uses the example of Italy, where prostitutes were allowed to wear makeup and they could own businesses, a better example without sex work involved would also be antient egypit which was the best antient society for women to be at and they could wear as much makeup as they wish My logic behind this is that make up gives you the power to change your appearence and thus control how you will be seen, if this control is taken away from you, other rights can be taken as well Im sorry ur culture is like that with makeup, makeup has helped me a lot on my angsty teen years haha

About homosexuality, i believe it could have been connected to pervesity but it doesn't mean it still reflects such past, because I know and am friends with gay guys, I can see that their sexuality is genuine and doesn't come from or is connected with perverted ideas. And I agree that the movement could be related to cultural subversion, but I would argue it is more so because marxism infiltrated the discourse, heterosexuality is the norm, afterall, as a species, we need to procreate lmao And totally, its refreshing seeing a place where you can comfortably share opinions that are different from what is acceptable I wish people could handle being offended better, so instead of silencing others for not handling different ideas they would just express their thoughts Afterall, if you know your argument, you shouldn't be afraid to have it questioned or to change your thoughts if someone else made more sense than you So yeah, sorry for the long reply haha

That sounds like an interesting book! And that explanation of why makeup is important makes sense, that you can use it have more personal control of how people perceive you. It seems pretty straightforward when you put it that way. It'd be like saying you can't use anything but the default website theme or something, lol! It seems so... obvious now, of course it's a good thing to have that control.

i believe it could have been connected to pervesity but it doesn't mean it still reflects such past

Yeah, that makes some sense to me, certainly for some people.

And yeah, it is refreshing to be able to just share ideas openly.
