Saaaame! For years I thought plants sucked (because I had a bit of a "not like the other girls" phase due to my upbringing and since plants are/were considered a feminine thing, I just automatically hated them), but my mom got me into gardening a little bit and now I have chilli peppers, bell peppers, garlic, a bunch of herbs and also some succulents and carnivorous plants in my apartment. They make every room so much nicer, clean the air and I get to harvest them and have delicious veggies and fresh herbs every once in a while.

Yeah, literally the point of food is to taste good (and ideally not be *too* unhealthy). If it tastes good to you, congrats, it's fulfilled its function. You shouldn't be a dick and tell people that something is bad because you personally don't like it, right? For instance I personally dislike most mushrooms (which as a Czech is akin to a blasphemy as mushroom picking is almost a national sport lol), but I won't go around telling people not to eat them, like wtf. This Hawaiian pizza hate is so weird to me.
Also that topping sounds delicious. I've never thought of putting shrimp together with sour cream and spring onions but those are some of my favourite ingredients so I probably should've thought of it sooner. Thanks for the tip!

Gorgeous. Photos of big dogs who didn't get the memo that they're not smol puppies anymore are its own category of wholesome and an instant mood lifter.

Yeah, good quality ham + pineapple on pizza is pretty good imo. I really don't get why it's so controversial, the sweet and savory combination, or heck even specifically the combination of meat and fruit, has been a thing for a long time and most people like it in some form.

But that's the point, this isn't out of context, this whole conversation has been about SA so the issue is rather people interpreting it in context.
But again, splitting hairs. I'm not gonna push back on this too hard because I think we already established we both agree that physical arousal shouldn't be a factor in SA investigations.

True, nothing wrong about that fact. But I think people might have an issue with the framing and mentioning this fact within a conversation about sexual assault. Like they're expecting that sentence to be implying something.
I know you like to play devil's advocate so I won't accuse you of holding any beliefs you realistically don't. But you see how saying this irl would be pretty bad for optics, right?

That's... That's not really correct to what I wrote either lol. But I see what you're doing. Something something did you just assume my gender? (Idk I just woke up after a few hours long intense D&D session so my ability to make jokes and sassy comebacks is still rebooting right now :D)
@memesgobrrr Well it's banned by the UN and also a bunch of non-UN countries so no wonder you don't know it's a thing. But it still happens, especially in Africa.

Did I? Pretty sure I only said circumcision is the example that comes to mind, because in terms of men's bodily autonomy it's, to my knowledge at least, the most talked about issue. More than pregnancy anyway, lol.
Oh and yes bodily autonomy also applies to vaccines.

It applies to anyone, of course!
With men the example that first comes to mind is circumcision. Which is absolutely a violation of bodily autonomy and shouldn't be done.
One argument for circumcision I've heard are the supposed medical benefits, but turns out that in countries with fair access to water and therefore good hygienic standards, even the medical argument becomes utterly void. At the end of the day it's just a religious practice that crept up into the mainstream.
Or are there any other examples of interference with men's bodily autonomy you had in mind?

A few days ago I had a dream where I was chased around my apartment complex by a serial killer... who looked like Leonardo DiCaprio. Then I woke up at 3AM.
But honestly it was in a weird way refreshing to have a normal scary nightmare. Normally my nightmares are about being late to work or failing an exam lol.

I guess flinching when you see a punch coming your way is more analogous, then? Just because you flinched, that doesn't mean you wanted to be punched, right?
And semantics aside, I'll be sure to keep my eye on anyone who tries to seriously, unironically make the case that someone "enjoyed" an assault because their body "prepared" for it.
And again, arousal can be preparation but it can also be a reaction to something that's already happening. Or it can be entirely random. I mean, aren't inappropriately timed boners a crucial part of the male teenage experience?

Weeell I don't know if the analogy is *that* incorrect. Arousal can happen when you look at someone you find attractive but also just as a reaction to physical stimulation. And the latter might be your body preparing "out of necessity" – especially for those of us who have a vagina, the body knows that it'd hurt like hell otherwise so it prepares, whether the encounter is consensual or not – rather than out of genuine arousal. I suppose the mechanics might be a bit different for you gents, but the principle remains. Especially when we take into account that the overwhelming majority of SA happens between people who know each other and there's usually a lot of coercion, manipulation, gaslighting and power dynamics involved.

Once upon a time there was an iguana who was unfortunately thrown by a footfag to become an actor. Only zoom could reverse it, but fortunately for our hero, they found their chance when an egg accidentally deleted. Though the egg was reluctant, eventually the hero convinced them to give them zoom. The moment it happened, the actor was reversed and our hero once more became an iguana.
.
Zoom sounds like some kind of drug, not gonna lie. In fact the whole story sounds like it was written by someone on copious amounts of drugs, lol.
Oh btw if you're into this whole mad libs things and have an Android phone, Google assistant has this thing where you can play mad libs with it. I guess most people already know this, but in case you don't, it's a funny thing to play when you're alone and bored.

Just curious as I'm not a history nerd, how many of them actually declared wars and how many only continued them from their predecessor? Because those two are arguably two quite different things.
That said, in principle I do agree with the point of the post, women aren't always inherently peaceful and men aren't inherently warmongers. I'm just asking out of curiosity.

A lot of SA survivors actually have trauma because of this, they think that because their body responded the way it just naturally does to external stimuli (ie. boner or wetness), it means it was somehow their fault because the perpetrator thought they were enjoying it. So yeah, boner is not consent. Consent is consent. Ideally informed and enthusiastic consent.
