it doesn’t sit well with me that “emotional labor” in it’s original context was Arlie Hochschild talking very specifically about how taxing face to face service industry jobs are for people (namely women) with this very nuanced context and is now used in everything from “i had to explain something to someone on twitter” or heavily in contexts of romantic relationships. not all emotional management and exchange is labor! to insert the idea of “labor” excessively into interpersonal relationships creates a system of “i performed ____ and now you OWE me for exerting ____” and it’s not healthy or what the term is for.

I disagree with this so strongly! fair enough I guess if you wanna say it’s been removed from it’s original context but the latter part of this paragraph has construed discussions around emotional labor very dishonestly. I have no idea how you could read women’s discussions around emotional labor and walk away from it thinking it’s women who have created an unhealthy system or are keeping manipulative mental scorecards. that’s not even remotely close to the truth. women use emotional labor to describe specific sexist power dynamics in their relationships with men, where they are expected to perform an unreasonable amount of emotional work because they are women. saying that women are demonstrating unhealthy behaviour by discussing this oppression is pretty next level! 

I understand this may not be the original intention behind the term, but it’s pretty clear there was a gap where women didn’t have the language to describe this oppressive dynamic, and ‘emotional labor’ filled that gap.

“women are oppressed in consensual romantic relationships they can quit at any point because they experience emotions.”

“men also experience emotions”

“actually, men are meat robots who feel no emotion whatsoever except for the desire to subsume, but nice try”

I explained emotional labor to you in three sentences, don’t thank me.

Ranma, why do you even follow people who are either so negative about human interaction or just blatant trolls? Like you find a troll, identify trolling correctly, and troll back?

Such is life in the Russian Federation.

The system of rulership and social status of post-Communist Russia is based on a hierarchy of internet trolling, and therefore Russians (such as @ranma-official) must constantly engage in acts of internet trolling to protect their status and advance.  

The greatest troll is then made leader of the country.

Oh wait, that’s not Russia.  That’s 2017 America.

Thanks to this healthcare debacle I’m feeling slightly vindicated in my feeling from last year that while Trump might be unprecedented in some ways as a presidential candidate let alone president, the sheer institutional inertia of the state and the gloriously recalcitrant nature of American politics would stymie his ability to radically reshape the nation. I mean it’s still early days, but yeah.

infernalfarndamn asked:

Why does my theory of gender need to explain camgirls? Unless I'm operating on a different definition of that term.

argumate answered:

Why is camgirl a viable career? Why are there so many camgirls? Why are there so few camgirls? Why are there almost no camboys, and those that do exist are mostly patronised by gay men? What are the demographics of camgirls and their customers, and why? And so on.

neverlandsoundgirl said: the answer to all these questions is misogyny

neverlandsoundgirl said: next

I don’t think that is a sufficient answer, in that it doesn’t actually provide an explanation for any of this; one could invert all of the questions above and still provide misogyny as an answer, making it unfalsifiable.

mitigatedchaos

Hai, hai, indeed, my precious Argumate-san.

In fact, the answer to all these questions is testosterone.

I’ve been spiking the water supply with it for decades.  Centuries, actually.  Some might even say millennia.

I’m wanted in 144 Everett branches, soon to be 145.  I just can’t stand the weak and pathetic beasts of the original Earth.  I want this world’s men to be monsters.  Haha.

Alright guys in the audience, listen up.

Choking isn’t kinky enough anymore.

Normies have found out about it and are putting it in their videos and talking about it online. The fad is done. Choking is out. It’s over. It’s so 2016.

Alright, so here’s the new thing:

So during the middle of sex, you are going to pick up your girlfriend (or hookup partner), okay, lift her over your head,
and throw her.

She’ll never see it coming, and the glorious rippling of your manly muscles as she falls from your show of brute strength will turn her on even more and help establish your masculine dominance.
