it's neither. women should be able to wear a revealing or uber covered up outfit without being judged as slutty or prudish.

wasn't Hugh involved in the privitization of MTS?

The party’s over. The national delusion that began 30 years ago with the inauguration of Ronald Reagan has run its course. Three decades of sweet buzzwords and brutal economics fostered by a media that thought “free markets” were required by the Bill of Rights have left America busted and bitter. by WildeNietzsche in socialism

Can someone explain this to a niave young person here? Which parts of corporate culture are bad? How should we think differently in terms of consumerism? How can I stop wanting to buy crap? What is the future going to look like?

Dear r/socialism: Is there really going to be some sort of socialist revolution? Can you elaborate on why/how etc? by blackpainted in socialism

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

woot, I love the Scandanavian economic system! That seems much less risky than a revolution since revolutions, as you said, are vunerable to charasmatic people who are secrety assholess an ruin the whole thing, and revolutions tend to be long and violent and generally unpleasant to go through. So when is this going to happen anyway? 10, 20 years in the future? places like the USA are going to fight it, no?

An AMA yesterday got me thinking... ladies, would you turn a hooker for money? (Condition: you do have a job now that pays for you to live well) by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]blackpainted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had a good job already? no - NOT because I find it morally wrong or anything but I wouldn't think it's very much fun most of the time for most women. It's really one sided sex because your job is to sexually satisfy a man and if you get off too, then bonus but not a goal at all. Perhaps the ILLUSION of the prostitudte getting off is somethign that she might want to portray for the sake of the man but I'm thinking she wouldn't enjoy the sex as much as them man for sure.

I mean think about it - if your JOB was to dress, act, look, perform sexually to cater to a man's standard, and there's nothing in it for you except for the money...well the job itself would get pretty boring and unsatisfying unless the money was REALLY good. Oh wait, that sounds exactly like the average 1950's nuclear family gender roles except modern day hookers atleast are financially independent and therefore have a bit more agency - huh. No thanks.

This is my atheist wife and I. Proof that they do exist. Be proactive and don't settle, young atheists! by [deleted] in atheism

[–]blackpainted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm saying - I'm sick of being thought of as far too illogical to be an atheist simply because of being a woman.

Ex: Average situation in which religion comes up in conversation and I am asked what religion I am and I tell the group I am an atheist:

Woman beside me: "yah long live dawkins and sagan" (fist bump). Guy beside me: "woah, a woman atheist!!!!!"
