THC posted:So move on. Find someone else, who can talk about this stuff like an adult. You won't die if your dick stays dry for a night. You'll probably save yourself further trouble down the road by not having a clearly immature or neurotic sexual partner. Yeah, that's exactly what I've done. We're just pointing out that the uncertainty in cultural expectations, as everything changes fairly rapidly, is making things difficult. Somewhere, the woman who wants to be swept off her feet and thinks talking about explicit consent is a mood killer is going to be wondering why no one finds her attractive, or whatever. We can accept that the shift in culture around sexual behaviour was fully necessary and largely beneficial, while accepting at the same time that it's created some problems of its own that we have to work through as a society.

As a single straight white dude actively dating, it's not loving hard. Learn how to have empathy and read body language and just don't be a loving goony autist, jesus christ.

Jordan7hm posted:I do wonder what the current climate means for someone entering politics in say 10 years in their 40s who did stupid stuff in the 20s. How will they approach it? I’m not just talking borderline sexual harassment behaviour, but stuff like sending nude pics or posting dumb poo poo on the internet. Being really into Ayn Rand at 17, which isn’t exceptional except now your posting history is there for everyone to see. Is there going to be a mea culpa moment where you just let it all out right at the start? It's part of why I feel like the movement from usernames to real names on the internet was a horrible idea. People do stupid poo poo, that's a fact of life. What's going to be important is the determination of where the line is between something stupid and forgivable and where something is absolutely abominable (I think the line will wind up more severe than it probably should be when all is said and done).

To be honest the whole "I sent nude pics when I was younger" (in the consensual, to-a-romantic-partner kind of way) has already caused problems for people. Mostly for women because double standards/slut shaming/all that bullshit, but it's definitely already a thing that anything you have ever done will be used by political opponents against you at some point, and the existence of social media just makes their job a lot easier. Honestly I think the "mea culpa" approach might be the only way to deal with it - at some point the culture in general is just going to have to realize that younger people tend to do embarrassing/undignified things and that there's nothing morally wrong with that so just loving get over it.

My hope is that it means we will have honest conversations about this stuff. Being open about how you hosed up and what the impact was (even if the only impact to you was that you feel horrible about it) is an opening to a conversation that might lead someone else to not loving up in that way. Though I realize that isn’t what will actually happen. e: i went to a men against violence against women thing in Ottawa a couple years ago and we had some really interesting conversations about the way we act, or used to act and it really made me reflect on my behaviour. The one thing that really stuck to me from that was talking about the poo poo I used to say or laugh at in the locker room. It’s good to see how far you’ve come but it’s sobering to realize that you were a part of the problem. I also wonder about what I’m doing today that I’ll regret 10 years from now when mores have shifted slightly. Jordan7hm fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Jan 27, 2018 |

bub spank posted:I'm 2 pages late on this, but on the prairies at least, goof is prison slang for child molester, and some people would get very pissed off if you said it to them. Yeah, my mom, who was working in the crown prosecutor's office at the time (almost ten years ago, I believe), explicitly warned me one day, pretty much out of nowhere, not to call strangers a "goof", probably because she'd just seen a case pass through the office in the previous week of some guy stabbing another guy to death for calling him that, noting it had "serious negative connotations" that she didn't go into in depth at the time. I may have called the family cat a "goofball" at the time, because, well, he could act like one. It's weird, but true.

Is there going to be a mea culpa moment where you just let it all out right at the start? You're already starting to see this with Wab Kinew making some pretty offensive tweets as a young man and then running for Manitoba NDP leader. He apologized for it and while I remember it being a bit insincere I may be misremembering. I think it was a minor issue during the leadership campaign and the PCs will try to make it a big issue during a provincial election. There will be a bit of an adjustment period but my guess is that in the future we'll see public figures acknowledge and apologize for previous morally questionable situations at the earliest possible opportunity. As long as the conduct wasn't illegal and the apology is sincere and accepted and recent behaviour has been upstanding, I think most people would be willing to look past a lot of things. To put it more cynically, apologizing ahead of time let's the man control the narrative while the headline grabbing allegations are basically an automatic firing. Obviously this only works if the things you've done are relatively not too bad. There's no way somebody like, say, Weinstein could have gotten away with a preemptive apology.

To be honest, given that the context is mainly related to prison culture, it's probably something that's not too likely to happen accidentally anyway. Like I've never been to prison, but I imagine if I was there I probably wouldn't refer to my fellow prisoners with the same terms of endearment one might use to refer to a child or pet.

Yeah I have a tattoo that, as long as I never go to prison, isn’t a big thing. If I do go to prison though I’ve had a bunch of people tell me it could be a very bad thing to have (three leaf clover, not an AB thing but apparently close enough). Good incentive to not gently caress up. The Wab Kinew thing is interesting because he didn’t anticipate that, he reacted to it. I don’t think we’ve seen a lot of people throw out their warts to get in front of them. Trudeau did a bit with the weed, but that’s pretty minor.

I've always found it annoying and *~;;problematic;;~* It's pretty common in the gay scene too, for more or less the same reason

HookShot posted:I like how he thinks women spend $5-$10/year on tampons. He’s saying they spend that much in tax. Which is still low probably but that’s like 100-300$ (I don’t know what the tax rate is in Manitoba). I think we had this come up last time this was proposed, but I think it’s a bad way to spend money. Directed money to low income women, good. Tax cut that benefits women who spend more, bad.

I think (hope) he means women spend that in GST on tampons, so $105-210/year total, and he just phrased it like an idiot because he is, in fact, a giant dumb idiot. That still doesn't address the issue of why he thinks it's any of his loving business, of course. Although "giant dumb idiot" explains that rather succinctly too, I suppose.

The idea is that essential goods do not have sales tax applied, and feminine hygiene products are essential under any definition of that word I can possibly conceive of. Arguing that tampons should be taxed is, without a doubt, the absolute loving dumbest hill to fight and die on.
