It's really very similar to porn being just completely normal for the mainstream (as in, men normalize it and set the conversation while women don't share what they think of it much with men, out of a desire to be diplomatic/peace keeping/'tolerant'). And the 'don't kink shame me' phrase being so common now.
It's interesting, how much women keep among themselves, out of fear of not seeming nice/provoking men, that likely many men don't see through women nodding along to things they blatantly disagree with. Women's status in the public sphere etc is still too precarious to try and cause trouble. It ends up creating a false image that's quite fake. Women don't watch porn. But being anti porn gets wrapped up with other values like keeping women in the kitchen, no birth control, etc. The sexual liberation was a blessing and a curse for women. Every woman has to smile and nod about porn now.
No wonder troons think they understand womanhood, out in the open it's one easily digested package deal that's all smiles to keep the peace. Away from men is an entirely different reality. But if you're a troon, they de facto never experience anything but a mixed sex group with women, by virtue of their taking part.
Women most certainly do watch porn. Not in the same numbers as men, but unfortunately many are sucked into habitual porn usage because of early exposure, unfulfilling sex lives, or their husbands introducing them to it. Pornography is pushed on both genders these days, and we’re starting to see sexual dysfunction amongst women in record numbers due to it. Society reinforces the idea that porn is a safe outlet for ‘sexual exploration’ in teens, but this is bullshit and statistically the earlier you’re exposed the higher likelihood that you end up addicted and needing weirder shit to get off. I’m not going to go as far as saying all porn should be banned (though society would certainly be better for it), but its ease of access and permissiveness is one of the major pitfalls of the modern west.
That being said, women still have some pretty significant hurdles to jump through. For many it’s easier to keep quiet (‘keep sweet’ to quote the Mormon cultists), especially in traditionalist circles. There are many conservative, traditionalist women who are chided by the left for being ‘handmaidens’, while also attacked by their own ideological compatriots for being ‘too femnazi’ for daring to voice an opinion. This is particularly annoying to me, because traditional lifestyles should celebrate a woman’s role as the backbone of a functional society, not belittle them for it.
Troons can never understand these struggles, they relate to women in the same vein a misogynistic man would, ‘keep quiet and let me walk all over you’. Subconsciously they feel superior, because, regardless of their fetish, they are men. Men who feel entitled.
Funny how you conveniently leave out how the Left caters to women better than the Right does, even if it does also mean catering to troons.
Turns out women will put up with Kyle becoming Kylie if it means still being able to vote, and having bodily-autonomy.
As a politically far right leaning guy this is pretty much spot on in some of the circles I travel in. You’ll have men saying ‘we need to protect women from troons because they are special’, but in the same breath ‘we want to take away their right to vote’, and expect women to still vote them into power. For most men in the alt right traditionalist lifestyles are a larp anyway. You’ll have guys who refuse to get married because of ‘principles’ but still want to have kids or cohabitate. Yeah, super trad of you king.
Most people across the political spectrum don’t really care about society, just whatever is convenient for them, be it justifying a fetish or justifying some weird narcissistic superiority.
I’m going to my tent to have a smoke.
