    Are you assuming that I assume that you’re a man?

    My display name literally lists my pronouns as [he/him], as does my profile description.

    Also you assumed that I gave a sexualised reply as a way of disparaging homosexual behaviour.

    That’s what the origin of oral as an insult is, yes. Ask yourself why it’s insulting to claim someone to be sucking off a man.

    Kinda male-centric, chauvinistic, and puritanical, don’t you think?

    Projection. Treating sexual acts as demeaning is chauvanistic and puritanical. Why specifically use “sucking off” and not “worshipping,” or some other demeaning display of loyalty? To draw on homophobia.

    Do some self-crit. I don’t believe you are intending on being homophobic, but I do believe you are relying on homophobia to insult me.

        Didn’t read your profile description and on voyager you just show up as Cowbee@lemmy.ml.

        Fair enough.

        We are in the 21st century, if you were fellating a woman I’d have phrased it differently. The MLs you people tend to cite are men though, so I went with that.

        Using sex as a demeaning act is still chauvanistic. As for authors, I would advocate reading Rosa Luxemburg had the conversation been about Reformism vs Revolution, or Leslie Feinberg (though she used a variety of pronouns, they preferred She/Her) had the topic been about Trans Rights. Pretending only Men have contributed to Marxism is again, chauvanism.

        I am personally only drawing on how much you people wanna fuck these guys.

        Sigh, chauvanism again, and back to homophobia as you know I identify as male.

        Personally I own up to it, I’d fuck Malatesta, I’d fuck Goldman, Marx could get it if he brushed out his beard.

        Sure, you aren’t directing that as an insult towards another, but as individual expression of your own sexuality. There’s a large difference between the two.

        I’d say do some self crit yourself, maybe with a sexologist.

        I try to be self-critical as much as possible, otherwise I would never be able to grow.
