“We need to sex up your wardrobe. What do you mean you’re not comfortable wearing that? Oh honey, don’t be such a prude, all the girls are doing it and you want to be successful don’t you? No one’s going to watch someone that dresses like their grandma.”

I get sick and tired of so called leftists equating exploitation to sexual liberation.

    All struggle sessions are the same, it’s always people fighting their treatler impulses. manhattan

    The only way forward is to reject everything and live a life of pure asceticism.

    I joke, but based on what I’ve seen (or how I interpret struggle sessions) it always does just seem to be one party who wants to have morally uncomplex treats and distractions, and doesn’t like that their actions may have consequences for them or others. I’ve probably got quite a few treats myself that if someone called them out I would join the treatler side of the discussion.

        Yeah, I do wonder about the psychology of it, I think it has something to do with people making their hobbies and interests (or consumption) a part of their personality? I’m not really sure though.

        It could also just be something like people just having a rough day and wanting to relax, only to have their hobby called out for being bad and they just don’t have the energy to shrug it off and get mad about it. We can only view the text people wrote during a struggle session, we don’t know the personal circumstances in which they wrote it.

      You can’t have dirtbikes at 3am sorry. Unless you’re using them for vegan direct action, then it’s ok.
