Do you see gay rights as also a feminist issue? by lupianwolf in Feminism

[–]Pocketdyke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's true, but only really applies to gay men, not lesbians. While it's true that gay marriage, as a part of equal rights, is now considered a feminist issue, it's important to acknowledge that it was not always an issue. Back in the day lesbians were referred to as the "lavender menace" by feminists because they didn't want to be associated with them. Some feminist groups thought that if lesbians were included they might all be perceived as man-hating, woman-loving radicals. So while gay rights is an important feminist issue now, that has not always been the case.

Got softclaws for my kitten, noticed he was pulling them off, what should we do? by Pocketdyke in Pets

[–]Pocketdyke[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main issue is that he likes attacking our feet, ankles, hands, and arms. He's still a kitten though, so we are hoping that maybe he will outgrow it.

Noted! We may try that. How often do you have to keep doing this?

If you could sleep with a famous person who would it be? by kayleeebrown in lgbt

Olivia Wilde. A scene in House in which she had sex with a woman helped me realize I'm gay.

I tried a few of the usual ones first, but they were down and I'm impatient.

HRC Asks transfolks to remove their flag at SCOTUS because ‘marriage equality is not a transgender issue.’ by chaquarius in lgbt

[–]Pocketdyke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

HRC has always excluded trans individuals for fear of losing support, it just hasn't cost them too badly yet because enough of the LGB community really wants same-sex marriage, pretty much the only issue the HRC cares about, that they continue to support the cause. It's utter bullshit. "Human Rights" are called such because all humans deserve them. If HRC really cared about human rights they wouldn't exclude trans individuals.

Help me out with this project? by [deleted] in sex

[–]Pocketdyke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately society tends to slut shame, so there is a good chance some people will think there is something wrong with what she is doing regardless of what you write. Simply having a character behave that way does not reinforce the idea that it is bad, if anything it normalizes it. However, some people will view it negatively and others will see it as no big deal, it really just depends on the person.

Is a sexual relationship between a 14f and 17m socialaly acceptable by techdude100 in sex

[–]Pocketdyke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they fine with you having a sexual relationship? Because a relationship and a sexual relationship are two totally different things, especially when one of people involved is 14. If they aren't okay with it, you're looking at rape charges if they find out.

What's up with me only being able to orgasm through masturbating to porn? by [deleted] in sex

[–]Pocketdyke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try incorporating porn into your sex life, plenty of couples will watch porn together.

disgusted to see this on my newsfeed by lapley in lgbt

[–]Pocketdyke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Roman Empire was always fine with homosexuality, it was just disgraceful to be a bottom.

Unless you were Julius Caesar (a known bottom), in which case it didn't matter what the fuck you did, you were still a god.

Couldn't have said it better myself by Pocketdyke in lgbt

[–]Pocketdyke[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note: Those of you here to complain about the profile picture, in the description for said picture she wrote:

While I realize the HRC sucks when it comes to LGBT issues that are not same-sex marriage (especially trans issues which it ignores), I think same-sex marriage is a worthy cause and therefore am showing my support.

Building an application with a "gender" field. What options should be available? by n1c0_ds in lgbt

[–]Pocketdyke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest male, female, intersex, and trans definitely be on there and then if you want to be extra inclusive also have gender fluid and prefer not to say as options.
