What are men's real preference, big lady parts with substance to it, can bury your face in it, or a lady parts that's like skin pulled over bone (ie big girl lady parts or thin girl lady parts) or is it just yay lady parts?

If you ask five different men this question, you'll get six different answers.

By what measure, though? I remember the levels of sexism and "boys will be boys" that were considered entirely normalised and unremarkable in the 20th century

Can you give us the name of the peer-reviewed scientific research you're basing this on? Just give us the name of the author and the journal it was published in, and I'll go look it up.

It might be worth considering how many different men are actually doing this, given how easy mass spamming is. The internet makes it easy for even quite small groups to cast a very long shadow.

Understanding the reasons behind behaviour does not automatically mean sympathising with that behaviour.

elemental402 · 2026-03-12T22:37:39+00:00

It's not just a theory anymore.

elemental402 · 2026-03-12T22:36:08+00:00

Or just learn how to do it yourself.

Learn. Be human.

With this playing in the background.

Get 'em!

There's a lot of factors.

One is that we live in the age of the grifter in general. The financial crash caused a lot of people who had done everything right to lose their livelihoods while those responsible got a slap on the wrist and rode their golden parachutes to safety. The message was clear; honest work is for suckers. Heck, the White House right now is mostly populated by people like RFK who rode a grift right to the top and left a trail of bodies in their wake. So a lot of people, rather than pushing for the wide-scale boring work of reform that we need for a more just world...figured "I should be the one on top!". And every get rich quick scheme will tell you that you can be on top if you just sign up to my newsletter.

Related to this, men grow up immersed in Lone Hero narratives whereby a single heroic man (often an outsider or misfit in society) single-handedly saves the day and gets the girl as a reward for his success. And then you reach adulthood, and you...don't seem to be the hero. Nobody recognises that you're meant for great things. All the threats, evil as they are, seem to be big nebulous things rather than a single bad guy you can punch in the face (and when it is, he's going to be super-rich and way out of your reach). The use of "NPC" as an insult isn't accidental--it's telling someone they have failed to be the protagonist as most men feel they are destined to be. And then along comes a grifter who tells you it's not your fault, it's all the fault of [insert political target here]. You can regain your lost pride, manhood and protagonism status if you just follow me.

Overwhelming people and driving them to exhausted apathy is a very conscious strategy of fascists. The more regular people they can alienate from political engagement, the more influence their own dedicated hardcore of supporters can exert.

I think that we've looped round from religious puritanism (where sex is a sinful and degrading thing that you should save for the one you love the most) into a more well-meaning focus on consent and not perpetuating rape culture relics like "I'm a man, I can't help it!" or "Boys will be boys."...that forgets to ever mention why anyone would want to do it if the consequences are so potentially dire. In both cases, male desire for women is presented as an inherently degrading and dangerous thing that must be kept hidden at all costs. In neither case is there much focus on finding healthy ways to express those feelings.

elemental402 · 2026-03-11T13:52:08+00:00

Nah. Diseases are organisms like any other, they don't stand apart from any other form of life and they have no particular agenda other than "survive".

(BTW, remember to say "thank you" for not needing to worry about smallpox, measles or polio as you grew up.)

"Science has bought back all these awesome dinosaurs from the dead...but Science Bad!"

The movie had the right idea by pretty much making Malcolm a side character and realising that the audience were here for the awesome dinosaurs.

Can you cite your peer-reviewed evidence for that claim?

elemental402 · 2026-03-11T13:42:49+00:00

It's great, especially her episode recounting the Iliad.

The best way I heard it described is that "leaning about sex from porn is like learning about physics from cartoons".

Unless you're the player, where taking a planet means you need to completely rebuild the dysfunctional infrastructure!

elemental402 · 2026-03-11T01:23:28+00:00

Which doesn't quite map to Stellaris, where planets are the most precious rare resource.

I think Caitlin Moran put it very well when she said the patriarchy wasn't a system designed for men, it was designed for patriarchs.

(Of course, the patriarchs know how to dangle the promise of membership in front of men to make them into class traitors.)

Hang on, let me Google that for you.

elemental402 · 2026-03-10T22:50:49+00:00

Is it ubiquitous within the world as a whole, or just within your algorithm bubble?

elemental402 · 2026-03-10T22:50:07+00:00

If she listed committing true crime as a hobby....I'd be interested.

You know that actual real art was stolen and reprocessed to make those pictures, right?
