    I’m all for women’s sensuality. I just despise that a top level comment on a Mother’s Day post is some guy hoping all the men here are getting laid.

    Skips right over women altogether, reduces them to a sexual object in relationship to men.

    A “women like sex, too” post isn’t what we’re talking about. And I do. But we aren’t even allowed to have a single thread where women exist and it’s not as an accessory? Not even in the comments on a Mother’s Day post?

    Not cool. Not fair.

    I’ll post something along the lines of, “Ladies, I hope all your husband’s are respectful and considerate as Picard” on a Father’s Day post and let’s watch that get downvoted into fucking oblivion.

      Well said. Completely agree on all points.

      There’s a sort of implicit hidden sexual aspect to motherhood only in the sense that sex is what makes children, and for some people even that tiny little connection is enough to override all ability to read social situations apparently…

        They’ve taken the Whores and Madonnas mindset so far that now even the incident that involves conceiving a child undoes all your value as a mother. They boil down something like Mother’s Day to “woman who got laid once day,” like it’s an excuse to invalidate celebrating women.

        Disgusting.
