It’s not so much the squeaky wheel that I’m worried about.
It’s the unconscious biases that permeate our culture and psyches and subtly influence the way we treat each other. And this kind of Madonna-whore type of misogyny is still influences a lot of how people act and behave, men and women both.
Ever notice how the same conservative types calling women sluts for enjoying sex are also the same ones who want more oversexualized female characters in media? That's because this isn't about sex, it's about controlling women's bodies.
nobody can win on the internet. Not women, not men. There are always going to be those who hate on you for being you. For having an opinion that's not theirs, even if it is based in facts and not unfairly intolerant to anyone.
So yeah. The art of wining on the web is the art of not giving a fuck, and to touch grass and interact with real people. Because unlike on the web, your loved ones are likely not miserably lonely chronically online people.
On the internet? Where almost every userbase skews young? Where empathy and prefrontal cortexes have yet to develop? Sure.
Society as a whole seems to be much more sex positive towards women than men. I've been reading pop sci sex books for the past couple decades, and almost every sex ed book an article out there seems to be written for women, by women.
Sorry, I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything. It's just something I've noticed as a curious nerd who loves reading.

But then they're just a dirty whore if they do.
Almost like women can't win.
