Sex recession?

Still, if it means less rape and skyrocketing population problems, then I don't mind this.

I just think it means we're moving more to embrace the "freedom to explore sexual release without judgment as long as it is hurting no one" culture that should be part of a more perfect world. Hell, the rape culture that the Feminists think today's culture is? I think more fits the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s culture than today. When you look at the sheer number of babies born from rape, in war and peacetime, and men who raped and went on to keep having sex back then, the scarily high number of unreported assaults, even against children, that old view of "a man can't help himself" that combined with religious conservatism and a society of repression was used to encourage a culture of men acting like pigs toward women, it's shocking. Enough to make you lose total faith in humanity. At least with more sexual liberation today, that's less likely to happen. And I want better population control and less sexual violence.

Intersectional "progressives" have created a new form of puritanism, the main difference being that it demonizes male sexuality rather than female sexuality. The irony is that it also ends up demonizing the free expression of female sexuality through this by insisting that women who work in the sex industry or even just model lingerie and/or swimsuits are "objectifying" themselves, and by virtue of intersectionalism and its socialist roots, are degrading all women.

Gee, I wonder why? Could it be that the vast majority of rapists in WWII were male? The Japanese, the Germans, the Soviets? There's a reason the stereotype is that men are pigs. Of course, the stereotype is also that women are scheming, manipulative whores, hence why I reject stereotypes. Those men made their choices. Gender had nothing to do with it so much as a desire to seize control even if it hurt another person.

You certainly are obsessed with rape. Particularly rape during WWII.

Because A) They never faced international justice for their crimes and B) Some people today like to demonize those women and girls as criminals and C) People like to cite "the horror/trauma of war" for why they did that rather than their own filthy choices and D) Those guilty went home to take wives and keep having undeserved sex. Possibly to keep abusing women and their own daughters too. And then like many Reddit posters a few of them have the nerve to offer up not-apologies in anonymous books decades after. They are reevaluating their behavior as bad? Where was that attitude several decades ago? If it takes seventy years to figure out forced copulation is bad, then you're a shit human being who deserves to die.

It hasn't created one, it's the latest form of the old strain of beast running through people.

We see it more plainly today than in times past, but it comes down to people wanting to exercise and enjoy the exercising of power over others while the cause matters not in the end.

In the end all are used and discarded once they no longer serve that end. One can see that with the fragmentation in social justice causes between Feminism and the new wave of power exercising that sees nothing special or innately different in their beloved sex, or any sex.

I see you haven't noticed what he's said he's wanked off over when he recently joined up here.

I feel kinda odd bringing that up, but in the end he was the one that made a thread about it, and continues to go into personal things here.

Who demonizes them? I was going to say I doubt any do, then I noticed you bring up Reddit. I think when it comes down to it, most people simply don't care given the time that has happened since them, just as you don't twist yourself in a knot over what happened to the Dzungar's centuries ago (nor should you given how long it's been and your distance from those on both sides of what happened).

And in the end what good would such international justice accomplish? Everyone knows, hangs their heads hung face and sad? Even if any still alive could be prosecuted for such crimes, it wouldn't matter much in the end given that most victims are now dead.

In the end it sounds more like you seek divine retribution for these acts that runs counter to your irreligious sensibilities. I can understand though, I care less of what heaven or any other possible afterlife is like just so long as there's a hell for those unrepentant for such monstrous acts.

As for that "undeserved sex" bit.... you're getting off into weird territory, again.

And even if they "feel sorry," sometimes that's an insult to their cruel actions. Simply feeling sorry can't take away the screams and pain of your victims.

You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you?

The "demonization" isn't of male sexuality, but of the tolerance of nonconsensual sexual contact. Speaking as a sexually healthy young single man, I don't think that grabbing people's asses, staring nonstop at their tits*, or using sleazy chat-up lines after people proclaim they're not interested, are OK things to do. And those are the kinds of things that are being pushed back against.

Granted, TERFs, SWERFs, and other toxic misandrists do exist, just like those crazy "incel" creeps have their grotty little corners of the Internet, but those people don't actually have a platform in real life.

*Unless they're a stripper you're paying for, in which case staring at their tits is kind of the whole point.

Yukaphile seems to hate Russia for some reason, and likes to harp on Red Army war crimes in '45-'46 to justify it.
