This Article studies the intersection of race and gender, examining it through the lens of Western imperialism. Even though both critical race and feminist scholarship have addressed this intersection,few if any offer a precise theory for understanding the imperialized experience. This Article seeks to fill that void. The social inequality minority women face, in particular those of Asian descent, can be best articulated by a theory this Article calls white sexual imperialism.

This is an extremely harrowing piece, but it does show there is a way.

To me there’s nothing powerful or subversive about this lexicon: it smacks more of a (literally) infantile fixation. Which makes it difficult to see why women would want to reclaim it.

From a polyamorous person

Sometimes people say, “obviously, everyone would like to be polyamorous themselves and get to have sex with anyone they want, while their partners are all monogamous and only have sex with them. That way, you get sexual variety and don’t have to feel any jealousy.” I think this is completely false.

and there’s a lot of monogcycle accidents

whatever sort of sexual degeneracy you think is being normalized in society because of triggering erotica is an absolute drop in the bucket compared to the fact that the current standards and norms of romance and sex are barely one degree of separation from what they were when women were explicitly considered property.

People’s body autonomy surrounding food is violated traumatically all the fucking time. unfortunately because we consider dinner to be a neutral activity and sex to be this incredibly fraught and almost magical one, we ignore the massive amounts of coercion, pressure, and violation surrounding food.

Interesting posts on sexual consent.

Very straightforward and action-oriented sex advice. Wish I could read a book written like this.

All across the world, trans women are everyone’s favorite demographic to fetishize.

More than 20 percent of undergraduates have indicated sexual interest in another undergrad on a web app designed to decrease the effort required to begin a sexual relationship.

Kay Gabriel confronts “Females” by Andrea Long Chu.

I’m starting to think I should avoid gender nihilism.

just existing as a fem presenting person sucks so bad 😭 irl or online, my physical body or my fursona, it literally doesnt matter. i want to be more than just a piece of meat to people

Campy in a good way.

Dougherty is writing books on the ethics of consent and on the rational (in)significance of the fact that we act from a temporal perspective. Among other topics, they have also researched the debate over consequentialism, ethical vagueness and female under-representation in philosophy.

Another one of my favorite contemporary philosophers.

I am a moral philosopher who studies normative power. I write about the power we have to change the moral, legal, and social world through speech acts and other expressions of our will. Consider, for instance: consent, promises, promissory release, offers, and threats. I also work on exploitation…
