This seems super culturally mediated, though--I'm not sure I'm in a good position to just tell a pious Muslim or devout Amish that his feelings about bikinis simply don't count the way that a modern woman's feelings about wolf whistles does.
Women shouldn’t be allowed to wear bikinis in public, but neither that nor speedos nor the Borat swimsuit justify potential violence the way a particularly forwards/lewd catcall would.

I do think there is highly significant asymmetry of discomfort between a woman being catcalled and a pious man seeing some legging-clad ass
There 100% is. Women walking around in their underwear is an unfortunate commentary on the state of society; it’s not directly threatening.

I understand you cannot be brought around to prosocial motivations.
Who do you expect to pay your social security and wipe your ass when you’re old? Is it a work until MAID plan?

I assume prep billboards are funded by grants to ‘raise awareness’ and ‘destigmatize’ and have little or nothing to do with the people who view them.

Can someone explain to me the chain of events that led to the UK paying to get rid of the chagos islands like it’s a tree trunk or something? I understand Starmer wants to be rid of them for reasons that are stupid but why is he paying to do so.

That’s certainly possible; I went through individually with an FSSP priest who recommended it but I didn’t try it.

Patriarchy wouldn’t have applied to begin with; these aren’t chaste Virgin daughters he’s laying with. They would, by the standards of a patriarchal society, have been reckoned as prostitutes.

People been farming long enough that we’ve evolved some instincts. Little kids will plant random stuff in the dirt as a form of play. And theres just a satisfaction from eating your own homemade fruit that doesn’t come from store bought stuff, even the fancy organic kind. Likewise people seem to generally like animal husbandry.

Is there a way to have blood donated to use, personally?

Indigenous just means ‘the last non-white people in a region’.

an extremely outdated scientific theory that has connections to Theosophy.
‘Scientific’.
Was lemuria ever a science hypothesis? I was under the impression that even back in the day it was ancient aliens tier.
Apparently the US also has military infrastructure on the islands, and Trump was a fan of the deal?
I highly doubt Mauritius is dumb enough to tell the US to take their base away.

Convert to Catholicism and take an uber-conservative priest as a spiritual director?
I’ve heard that courage international is similar to what I had but in a group setting.

Yes, we should plant trees. But can you blame women for not signing up to be de-emancipated in the hopes someone else solves all their problems? Putting the cart before the horse there.

Clearly you wouldn’t pass a CR ideological Turing test- literally, having a kid is seen as a blessing. Do you hate children or something? Evangelicals and Catholics don’t either.

It seems worth noting that there are very few chaste virgins sleeping with Casanova. Very promiscuous people mostly have sex with each other- even if certain cads like to insist they introduce chaste virgins to the lifestyle on the reg.

I wasn't so much advocating sexual liberalisation or disparaging sexual traditionalism as much as I was simply pointing out that if we're accepting a sexual framework, we need to fully accept all of what it means. Sexual traditionalism doesn't just mean "shotgun weddings for men" and "penalties for cads for having deflowered a woman" but also stigma and penalty for women who have premarital sex or tart themselves up inappropriately or use sex/intimacy to wheedle money out of men, the ability for the men around them to vet who they're going out with (since they will have to defend any breach of their honour), and responsibilities for both husband and wife in a marriage to put out and provide sex to their spouse. The responsibility for maintaining a pro-social scenario was not placed only on one party.
What makes you think I have a problem with any of that?

No, I have not.
I am unwilling to go into particularly great detail, even with strangers on the internet, as it is a rather... personal subject. I suppose I brought it up though.
I had the guidance of a priest overseeing it, who doubled as a spiritual director. I remember a lot of talk therapy focused on inculcating a more normative masculinity(which included attraction to women, but also the general idea of it- I learned to like sports as well). I had a therapy workbook by someone Dutch... Van Ardweg I think? There wasn't a lot of specific focus on sex and sexuality- I was discouraged from thinking about it too much- but the idea of sexual activity with another male went from appealing to buzzkill. I did have to catalogue my attraction to women and was supposed to do it by recording- something to do with a normal, male voice. There were other exercises aimed at perceiving myself as male, too. The key theory was something about disruptive relationships to masculinity and the need to establish heteronormativity; I don't think it would even have been without the intertwined ideas about gender roles and all that.
If you have more specific questions you're welcome to ask but I might not answer.

You believe pro-life advocates see motherhood as a punishment?

Having been around de-emancipated women it isn’t a panacea.
Sand wigger white sharia posting tends to fail to realize that sharia- and deeply oppressive traditional cultures more generally- have a lot of supporting social structures which are much harder to generate de novo.

Wait for marriage isn’t the coolest opinion, but it’s not offensive, either. More old fashioned.

Of course these lotharios are doing something bad, should they not have consequences?
I agree that castration is dumb. But what’s wrong with seduction laws?

Ah, thé pride flag and the Republican pride flag(although granted the thin blue line/thin red line/etc are usually separate flags). The Protestants who have discovered sacred heart month. The ‘y’all means all’ murals. The ‘in this house we believe’ signs. The maga flags. The bumper stickers saying ‘stand for the flag, kneel for the cross’.

I’ve heard that dodging the draft in Vietnam by pretending to be gay was doable as long as you pretended to be playing along.
Yes, looking at women(other than your wife) in bikinis is sinful… but Jesus also says that those who lead others to sin are more sinful- he specifically says it would be better for them if they were killed.
