You never knew what point I was trying to make in the first place.
Hey look, you're writing fanfiction about me! It's not very good, strays way too far from the source material, but it's fun to see the effort!
Indeed. But it's weird to describe that as shoving down anyone's throat. The commonality is that people wanted to control other people's actions unjustifiably; that's the violation. I do see where you're coming from and the logic, but... nah. Because she did intend to provoke a reaction. But also, if the reaction hadn't come, that would also have been good because it would make progress toward normalizing a new state of affairs.
You're describing exchange-worth. But have you considered that there also exists use-worth? Even in political economy there are relative AND non-relative senses of worth (value). What is something worth to you? It may be $5. Or it may be a good thing in itself, not in comparison to any particular quantity. And the fact that you can put a price on anything does not mean that you or anyone else must do so. Plenty of things are celebrated for their worth without any comparison to anything else. Indeed, putting monetary values on certain things is often considered gauche or even grotesque.

Donald Trump Snaps at Female Reporter Who Asks About Epstein Files: 'Quiet Piggy'
Donald Trump Says 'Quiet Piggy' to Female Reporter Asking About Epstein Files
Remember everyone, the best way to not be sexy is to be naked
The peace prize has nothing to do with peace. Its goes to anyone who does democracy and/or capitalism identity politics. Usually by doing many undemocratic actions
This has got way more to do with the goal posts moving going on after making the first claim, as well as pretending what you said in your first claim isnt what you actually said.
As for everyone else, Catholics taught Tstorm to hate people. He just following his tribe. He was taught that morality comes from God and unfortunately, he hasnt reaslied God isnt part of Catholic doctrine and they are using hate to control him
Its pretty pointless attacking Tstorm over bigotry. He borrowed it from someone else. It aint his
In most of the US that would be almost legal...as in almost, but not quite and you've still done a crime.
It's 16 in most states. People often think it's 18 because that's you hear references to it being 18 a lot, and you hear it a lot because it's 18 in both CA and NY, and that's where most of the media comes from.
Still illegal, but also we've had reference to girls as young as 13 or so, who would be in middle school.
I mean, they had a kid, so I assume Hillary was probably putting out at some point in their marriage, and that likely included giving head at least once. Whether or not she was still doing so with any frequency when Trump or Lewinsky took a turn is an entirely different question. "Gave" is past tense which doesn't assert any particular time frame.
A bunch of us are deeply concerned because a megalomaniacal buffoon who is also a pathological liar won the election, while the minority who actually voted for him are mostly cheering him on, and the vast majority remain as painfully apathetic as ever.
Trump would get less flack for that than being bottom for a Democrat.
Uh-huh, sure. Well, you're seemingly not even bothering with your original charge of "bondage" and explicit sex stuff, so i'm not going to get drawn into your weird prudishness about kissing.
Mental gymnastics.
To interpret "proper sense of what's fitting one's position or character" as considering oneself "like royalty" is just such an insane stretch to force a completely innocuous, quite modest definition to fit some bizarre hyperboly.

I didn't even start this pride argument, Agema did.
What drugs are you taking?
They gave the peace prize to that Venezualan woman because there's no way they should give it to Trump, but I think they did want to throw some sort of bone to the rising forces of the further right he represents.
Yes, because I thought you'd make a total mess of yourself. And boy oh boy did you duly oblige.

To clarify the chain of events here:
I mentioned people in bondage gear.
You dismissed their presence as fringe.
I said the original idea was for people to public display their sexual habits.
You then decided I said it was made for bondage, a claim I did not make.
The idea here is that people showing up in bondage, challenging those who would look down on them for it, are more in line with the origins of Pride than those who see it as a sort of rainbow colored friendship party.
What position do you imagine being described then? Obviously royalty is a singular example, but do you think that isn't describing elevated social positions? Do you think that definition is saying that a proper sense of what is befitting the position of peasant qualifies as pride?
Every single one of you knows that I don't hate anyone I'm talking to or about. Every person claiming that is just flailing about, cause they have no real dispute, and need some justification to dismiss me. You unintentionally instigated a bunch of other users to just pants themselves.
I did not say you said that. You brought up bondage gear as if it characterised what Pride is about; I explained that was a small minority and a newer thing. You then claimed it was always about sex. I asked you to substantiate that, and you categorically failed, talking instead about stuff like kissing and wearing flamboyant clothes.
Of course it isn't just talking about "elevated social positions". There's plenty of writing about the pride of the working class, the pride of a family man etc, poor or not.
Sorry: that definition doesn't chime with what you said at all. You're now imposing extra information onto it that simply isn't there.
The elements of hard work and practicality and actually doing useful things that keep society fed as compared to the tosh and gaudy nonsense of the nobility come to mind.
It's important for fascists to silence journalists who ask embarrassing questions, especially in front of their fascists buddies who like to murder journalists.
I wasn't aware that American journalists are subordinate to Saudi princes.
You can't really believe a celebration of sexuality isn't about sex...
Those are both elevated social positions.
