Republicans have a Nazi porn problem, again. Virginia Republican lieutenant governor nominee John Reid is facing mounting political pressure after a report tied him to a Tumblr blog that reposted Nazi-themed pornography and violent sexual content. The allegations, which Reid has denied, have fueled fresh calls for his withdrawal from the race.

      Interesting read, although I still feel like it’s a leap to say that a patriarchal society requires pedophilia. What I think is more likely is that the more pedophiles there are in positions of authority, they will prefer to give positions to those in their “special group”. I would imagine it almost becomes a right of passage because those in power need something to hold over those under them.

        Even if they don’t give those positions to them they certainly won’t punish someone for having those same views. And that’s another part of it, where people who aren’t actively bad are still passively enabling everyone who is because it doesn’t affect them personally.

        There is some research showing that objectifying women isn’t done for sexual gratification but to reduce women’s value as a human. To make them lower.

        It looks like sexual gratification motivation. But it’s not.

        It’s power.

        People have been pointing out for decades how rape isn’t about sexual gratification. It’s about having power over another person. And they target people where they have a high chance of success.

        When men (or at least a large majority) consistently promote objectifying women, it becomes normalized. And if women complain, they are just being complainers. The narrative is promoted that they actually like being objectified because they like the attention.

        But talk to any woman and the majority will tell you they don’t like being objectified and it makes them feel less respected.

        Cause that’s exactly what it is.

        If you follow this logic, you can see how women start being targeted for this turning them into lower humans at younger ages. Before they even hit puberty.

        Because in order for a man to be superior to a woman. She has to know from childhood that she is nothing but an object for his pleasure.

        This is called grooming.

        And that word is usually applied to a specific situation between 2 people. However, it does happen at a societal scale.
