Showing that feminists don't all hate heterosexual male sexuality

[IronPyrites]

OK so I am talking about consensual adult sexuality only.

I think there is a feeling, imo an incorrect one, but still a feeling, among many straight men that feminism wants to impose celibacy on all straight men, and hates and derides any expression of male sexuality.
Now, while I think this is unfounded, I wonder sometimes if there is any mileage in perhaps showing some compassion for the difficulties that many straight men encounter in their personal lives in general, and perhaps even that the pain of sexual or romantic frustration is no less real (and perhaps heightened by societal expectations of the straight male stud) for this group of people than anyone else. I have nothing but contempt for the so-called incels who clearly despise and feel entitled to women, and for men who express disdain for and behave badly to women in other ways, but I do think it may do some good to counter the message that you sometimes hear that feminism is anti-men, and showing that there is probably a societal bias against and fear of male sexuality in general. I hope you understand what I mean.

Sorry it is late and have not therefore RTFT. But what the hell might you mean by feminism wants to impose celibacy on all straight men?

Hell, no. I am a feminist. That means I center women in the fight against oppression. However I love my DH dearly, he is amazing as a man and a human being. Just because this is the feminism board does not mean that we don't have boyfriends, husbands, lovers...and have lots of great sex with >gasp< men!

Why are so many people spamming us atm?

Presumably we’ve inherited the spammers that once spammed the gender critical subreddit?

Hadn't thought of that.

I have to say, getting the old fashioned gumph ' you're all just lezzers who hate blokes shut up and listen to manly pain' was almost a refreshing change from the newer forms of 'shut up while I gloat about shutting you up'.

Almost.

I didn't know shoes could make you a lesbian.

I hope there's a sale on.

Ohhhhh like an info-ops campaign? To make feminism more palatable to romantically frustrated gents? What do you suggest, op? Leafleting? Stickers? Have you got a slogan? Designed a flag? I know a man with a plane or two - is there an area of the country particularly in need so that we could fly a supportive banner?
Can we have an acronym?
RadFemsForRomanticRelief? RFFRR rolls off tongue lovely, so it does.

Is putting out essential? I dunno that I’ve got it in me (Oo-er) and dh might mind. Shall I check?
No, you loon. Feminists do not need to gussy up and dick-tease for their politics to be rendered more palatable. 🙄

I have many pairs of comfortable shoes. I wore my favourite red el naturalistas to work one day and my young cool co-worker said ‘oooooo!’ I prepared myself to graciously accept the incoming compliment and she said ‘my mum’s got a pair of those.’
😑

@HoneysuckIejasmine

I'm really confused by this recent trend of "feminists believe [insert outlandish/offensive position], don't you think it's time you were nicer?" threads.

Me too

What if it only works with Crocs?

Is what's being proposed some sort of feminist version of whatever the young woman photographed with Owen Jones thought she was doing with her "will suck cock for socialism" tshirt?

Can confirm that this kind of works in that I'm less likely to want to shag anyone wearing them outside.

I want new shoes.

Oooo a thread for my theory.

Bear with me... If feminists actually got what they wanted, men would get laid much more. As a young woman, I would have had a LOT more sex with randoms if I knew that they wouldn't:

1. Kill me
2. Shame me
3. Force types of sex on me I didn't want
4. Ignore my pleasure for theirs.

Take heed men, if you want a lot of sex, tackle male violence. Also, prioritise learning how to actually give women pleasure rather than watching porn with a lot of male weird shit.

nice, attractive, kind, funny men are getting laid by feminists every day. Every day.

Iron Pyrite = fool’s gold. It’s the anagram Hannibal Lecter uses in Silence of the Lambs. Are you Hannibal Lecter, OP?

Indeed, Terry. Just think how much extra shagging would be happening if women collectively could be sure that men weren't going to be obnoxious about it!

Take heed, men. The solution is in your hands (literally to a certain extent, learning to use them properly will serve you well).

Yes, I predicted this would happen soon after it was banned. They had a whole TRA stalker subreddit watching them, now bereft of a focus.

My dilemma is that I had to borrow a pair once and they are the most comfortable shoes ever made.

Be careful, a friend of mine was told by her chiropractor that wearing them as shoes rather than as slippers is really bad for your back.

It's in their hands either way

I bought a pair solely for wearing in the back yard, whilst picking up dog poo - ‘dog-shit-shoes’.
They are so comfortable I have shamelessly worn them to the pub.

Peri menopause = no fucks given.

I had horrible blisters, in my defence. Not sure I would have been able to go out otherwise. They are unimaginably comfortable!

Good to hear!

I think the bad for your back thing is a lack of support for proper foot alignment thing? Can't remember, just remember that he told her to stop wearing them for actual walking.

@LillianBland

I know it might come as a bit of a shock to you, OP but a hell of a lot of us are actually in relationships with men. Some of us even have SEX with them!

Wash your mouth out!

I have two pairs of crocs, my black ones for in the house and my fetching lime green ones for at the swimming pool!

I'm not looking forward to venturing outside again because I am going to have to ditch my crocs for shoes.
