Yeah that context is important, the title is enough to make me write the whole thing off.
I understand why clickbait strategies are common, I am just not the common denominator that they’re aimed at. Am I judging a book by its cover? Yes… but I’d also judge ‘Notes on How to Skin a Baby’ by its cover so… idk.
Comparing men that don’t like women’s natural bodies to murdering and skinning a baby sure is a choice you made.
It’s ok if your kneejerk reaction was to be defensive. It’s also ok to re-examine the post and realize that just because you are a man doesn’t mean they’re talking about you.
I don’t care what you think your qualifications are. These three things are true: I love my girlfriend, I am sexually attracted to my girlfriend, I hate pubes. Whatever you think is irrelevant.
I hate pubes because I don’t like hair near my mouth in general. I don’t ask my girlfriend to shave, she does it because she sees my own reaction when a beard hair gets in my mouth.
Like I said, blanket generalizations are inherently deceitful.
Edit: I used deceitful incorrectly. There is no intent to deceive. It may be deceitful, it may be unintentionally misleading. There is nuance here.
If a beard hair getting in your mouth isn’t a strong enough reason for you to shave your beard, then it’s not a deal breaker/ you don’t hate it.
This is a ridiculous statement. Disliking an aspect of something and putting up with it for other reasons is such a natural thing it makes me wonder if you’ve ever styled yourself in any other capacity than troglodyte.
For example my girlfriend likes my beard. So I keep it. Because she likes it. You see how that works, cave person?
I think anyone that makes blanket generalizations is deceitful, what a coincidence.
Exactly. Only a sith deals in absolutes.
I absolutely approve of afro-sized bush to bury my beard in /shrug
You just made a blanket statement too ;)
I’m not sure that I have, actually — blanket generalizations are inherently deceitful.
None of the definitions I can find for blanket generalizations require deceit.
It’s simply a fallacy defined by inductive conclusions.
You unintentionally and in good faith made a paradox under the misunderstanding that deceit was required.
You don’t need to intend to be deceitful to be deceitful, just like you don’t need to intend to kill someone to kill them.
The world is not sweeping absolutes. Painting it as such always obscures some truth, this post is no different.
Edit: I’m just wrong here, I was misusing deceitful.
That’s a sweeping absolute, but this conversation is obviously going nowhere, have a good one friend.
Edit: that wasn’t fair of me. Let me rethink this response.
Edit2: I recognize the paradox here, I think I was using deceit incorrectly. I accept your responses, thanks for being cordial.
It’s a good thing the person in the video specified she’s taking about men who have the audacity to judge women’s bodies and body hair publicly then.
Since she’s talking about a specific subset of men, it’s not a blanket generalization.

Holy, you need to stop responding to my messages.
YES I fully agree
Nah man. If you hate how it comes naturally, then you don’t actually like it.
But I’m a middle aged woman, so I think the ‘male gaze’ and its judgemental subjugation can fuck all the way off.

“I love you… But only when you go through extra effort to modify yourself for me.”
When did I say that?
I hate pubes because I don’t like hair near my mouth in general. I don’t ask my girlfriend to shave, she does it because she sees my own reaction when a beard hair gets in my mouth.

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that your feelings between your own hairs and hers are similar.
Hold on, what?

I see how you can’t distinguish between preference and hatred, yes.
Huh, weird.
Imagine thinking this is a gotcha.
‘Hehe, this guy admitted he was wrong about something - fucking owned.’
You’re a child, go sit in the corner.
