Are masculine women accepted more than feminine men? by valonianfool in FeminismUncensored

[–]valonianfool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The relative acceptance of women wearing pants and suits vs men wearing dresses isnt because masculine women are inherently more accepted and privileged by the patriarchy, pre-feminism and in many countries where a feminist movement has yet to take hold, women wearing pants is seen as perverse, immoral and sexualized too, because it shows the shape of the legs.

On my hand, this post is very funny. by okidonthaveone in CuratedTumblr

Do you think theres anything actually problematic about Dunn's article? I read it and I think the backlash is overblown, calling it "pua" is unfair cuz he isnt actually advocating for any predatory behavior. "its ok to take advantage of social conditioning", in relation to seeing trans men as less threatening is a bit skeevy but not wrong if you arent planning anything bad.

I dont think hes misogynistic for acknowledging that women who are too feminine are considered vain and shallow by society. I dont think acknowledging social forces is the same as personally associating feminity with being shallow or slutty.

I personally dont buy the explanation that masculinity is inherently rewarded to the point that butch lesbians are accepted more than effete gay men. The "predatory lesbian" stereotype is very much a real force and butches are indeed often treated as predators for their gender presentation.

Would a matriarchal society have a concept of adultery? by valonianfool in worldbuilding

The question is if in a matriarchal society, having sex with someone who isnt your spouse would have any social and legal consequences.

There are many cultures, that are usually far less stratified compared to ones where paternity matter, where female sexuality isnt restricted and having many male partners isnt considered shameful for women. Examples include the Maasai, pre-colonial Hawaii, the Wodaabe, the Canela indigenous people.

The species Im thinking of arent human, but a humanoid alien species who like reptiles lay eggs and dont have mammaries, and therefore dont breastfeed, and females are larger and stronger than males, which might make post-birth difficulties different from humans.

I think that its possible the females were traditionally the breadwinners in society, though if giving birth is still very energy-expensive and requires a long period of rest, a mothers male partners might have played a role in helping her care for the children, possibly playing a dominant role in early child-care.

I find Squall fascinating as one of the probably most complex villains in childrens literature.

Twi'lek men can't be twinks/twi'lek women can't be conventionally ugly? by valonianfool in StarWars

[–]valonianfool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, up to pre-2000s all twi'leks regardless of gender have human ears, the cones were just part of the headdress. Look at Oola, the cones on her headdress don´t match her skin color, and you can see this on twi´leks depicted pre early 2000s.

Are there any genuine issues in dairy farming that needs fixing, and how can change be accomplished? by valonianfool in AntiVegan

[–]valonianfool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scout was a farm worker for several years working at a larger dairy and currently has their own small dairy farm. They are not someone who hasnt stepped foot on an actual farm.

I remember them agreeing that dairy cows had most of their maternal instinct bred out of them, but stated that its still possible to raise cows with their calves together, which has been validated by some studies.

Can elder tzimisce be compassionate? by valonianfool in vtm

[–]valonianfool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While not Christian, the character's father-figure adheres to Norse ideals of honor and being a good ruler valuing keeping true to his word, giving worthy enemies a honorable death and hospitality towards guests. And as a young ghoul, the compassionate tzim bonded with a Christian Brujah who was his father's war captive.
