imo the culture around sex isn't just bad for the straights,
Oh yeah totally. It’s just that it brings about the worst in the Straights imo.
They all hold each other up and you really can't fix any of them while upholding the rest.
Hmm. Food for thought. I think virtue is the antidote to the many ills of society, not inherently erasing patriarchy, though Idk. It would certainly be a lovely experiment to live in a world of powerful women. But alas to that happening.
Even purity culture and hardcore religious people push the idea that NOT wanting to have sex is bad, but you also can't want it until after you're married, and then only with your partner. Hypocritical and also toxic.
I live among the purity culture, and I would not say that what you say is true. It is seen as perfectly natural to want sex before marriage.
*not that hooking up is bad, but particularly with gay men, the norm is hooking up, which makes it difficult for them to form actual relationships, especially for ace people and people who aren't interested in hook-ups. which leads to them not knowing how to maintain a relationship or be in a healthy relationship which in turn causes and perpetuates more problems
How is some hookup culture good? It’s certainly not only gay men who suffer there, though statistically I do believe they are the most affected.
**I won't get into how the bible is literally anti-capitalist even though it makes me SCREAM. The article I linked doesn't have the specific verse I was thinking of, but I can't find that verse, it was something about how taking other people's money for yourself is unholy
Well you did Lol and I’m fine with that. I would not say that Christianity is inherently anti capitalist (the verses about how all men must work to earn bread comes to mind) since Capitalism is an economic philosophy(?) that can be interpreted a few different ways.. Rather I would say that the Bible is stictly anti greed, theft, worker abuse, hoarding, and lack of charity, which many rich capitalists ignore, whether they claim to be Christian or not.
