I’d like to know where asexuality is in that video 😆 because I definitely don’t see it.

Same!!! In the twitter post I linked to, Rae does a pretty good job defending her claim, and she admits she's making a nuanced point, but I think she just used the wrong word. "Unsexy" would have been a better choice.

Also, sticking it to heteronormativity is fun when you're gay because you get to have the kind of sex you enjoy - but if you're a straight woman, you have to fold your desires into an intellectual pretzel before you can accept them.

Great points here. A lot of times, when lefty art is supposed to be provocative, it only aims at safe targets. Like, a female serial killer who only targets problematic men. Or a bold takedown of the mostly white publishing industry. It’s not actually risky at all because the audience embraces it.

"It’s either that or go full Church of Euthanasia. The one commandment being: “Thou shalt not procreate.” And the four pillars being: suicide, abortion, cannibalism, and sodomy."

I've only issues with suicide and cannibalism.

Procreation should be left with women only, they are the one gestating.

And lot of people don't know about the pudendal nerve, which they should. World would be a better place I bet.
