Judith Polgar would like to have a word with Ianuda regarding chess - its a matter of cultural habituation, most females are still taught girly things and are groomed to feminine roles, hence why few of them grow up to participate in traditionally male-dominated fields.
In regards to one of your previous remarks it is salient to point out here, that while the west certainly has more rights given to females than many other cultures (in big part due to early feminist and socialist struggles), it still has not shed its patriarchal attitudes and prejudices towards females. Your own pov on these issues clearly exemplifies this. Also, ironically you singled out Japan as traditionally being very oppressive of women (I think its way more complex than that), yet such a tradition seems to always produce a rebellion underground, even reaching into the world of fetishes, since they produce probably the coolest extreme femdom content ever.
Anyways, my contention stands, I rarely ever met anyone with whom I disagree so much while at the same time supposedly being on the same side on some of the content on this site.
I'll just answer a few in the shortest way possible:
"Do you think those who hate furries or scat are insecure, too?"
Yes. You don't have to like these or anything really, but hating on those who like it is more than childish. I personally love scat in femdom context only, and I am completely neutral about furries. There are things I intensely dislike: incest, rape, snuff, maledom, etc but I never go out of my way to shame others for it. Until something is consensual - if it can be, or only fantasy - if it cannot be consensual, then its fine by me as long as I have the choice to avoid them.
"Whereas Darwin was progressive."
Darwin's theory is a wonderful and enlightening, supremely explanatory theory of biology. But when applied to society - which is entirely erroneous and wrong-headed - it spawns things like fascism, nazism, "social darwinism" which are utterly immoral and detestable in my view. Progressing nowhere but mass suffering.
"I don't consider strong family as equal to reactionism."
Not necessarily, but typical appeals to "family values" are always a conservative trope against alternative lifestyles and anything truly progressive in society generally.
"And where are those steppe cultures now?"
In the dustbin of history, just like any other ancient culture. You didn't get my point. I think its useless to even try to reformulate.
"Although I don't ultimately view fetishes as firm enough foundation to build society upon."
I agree with this 100%, it would be more than foolish to make any fetish the foundation of a society. Maybe its your self-admitted autism, but I never suggested the opposite. I firmly distinguish fantasy from reality and I also firmly distinguish feminism from femdom. The topic of fetishes, including femdom can and do illuminate aspects of certain social dynamics, but its never the basis or goal of any such analyses. I hope that I was crystal clear here.
This is my last response to you, I would kindly ask you to consider how you forcing the issue to continue, breaks the intended purpose of this thread. Lets go back to sharing games we like, and lets try not vehemently imposing our particular differences in the details of our beloved genre. If you are hell bent on continuing this discussion, I advise you to open a separate thread for it. I won't really participate anyways, because I find your style of communicating dishonest and/or hard to parse. Take care!
