If you think this started with Silicon Valley that’s a mistake

    No he’s right. There are no politicians with any real power in North America who are anywhere close to left. Dems are right and Reps are fascist. It’s right and super-right in the US. Canada isn’t doing any better.

        As I explained to you elsewhere:

        The only reason dicksucking is usable as a pejorative is to draw on historic sexism and homophobia, and telling someone to suck your dick draws on that social trauma. Telling someone to give you a haircut, for example, is still a service but doesn’t have that social trauma to make it a pejorative, and thus it doesn’t hit like one.

        It’s basically drawing on SA to be used as an insult. If you don’t think telling someone to suck your dick is drawing on historic bigotry towards groups that traditionally do that, then I’d like to know why you think it works as an insult.

          Your false equivalence as an argument? You only got away with that because I was banned from replying. High thanks for bringing it up tho because I am pretty sure it stems from your own homophobia and I suspect we can get to the bottom of it.

          I can accept the misogynist aspect of such a statement but i refuse the homophobic aspect of sucking dick, I recognize your experience with SA and BJ’s. Are you giving me permission to proceed because I don’t want to be a cunt uninvited.

            I don’t have personal experience with SA, nor am I homophobic. I’m pansexual myself. It isn’t at all a false equivalence to say that there’s a real difference in insult between telling someone to give you a haircut and telling someone to suck your dick. They are both services, but the latter draws stigma from historical sexism and homophobia. Using dicksucking as an insult affirms that history of bigotry, when in reality we should be fighting the negative stigma surrounding sexuality from women and gay men.

              Bud I am not going to read further then you denying SA. I am truly sorry that happened to you but I will not partake in your internet ego, not like this.

                I don’t think it’s a good idea to mock SA. There’s no ego involved, I haven’t been a victim of SA, and it’s incredibly rude to those who have been victims to treat it like an insult to be flung at people you don’t like.
