Er...I think you just ASSUMED because that is NOT what I took from it.

OP just wants it to be AS socially acceptable for women to like slash as men like lesbian porn. And points out how, with men, it's so common that it's often presumed that they do.

They also say a "conversation with friends" so, again, I don't know why you're imagining that people are just blurting this out in any and every social situation.

Are you... OP?

Socially acceptable does NOT mean "presumed that it happens".

I presume someone's urinated on every possible seat when I'm taking public transportation, that doesn't mean it's socially acceptable.

No. Not OP. But I totally see where OP is coming from.

And how is it not socially acceptable for men to like lesbian porn? I have literally seen guys in bars push girls to make on and cheer and hoot while they girls do.

You really deny that it's less socially acceptable for women to like slash then for men to like lesbian porn?

(Anonymous) 2015-04-17 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Again, that is not socially acceptable. That is crude behavior, accepted as crude behavior. Pushing girls to make out I should think would be seen as sleazy if not borderline harassment by any person who is sober and not a misogynistic drunk asshole. Same with guys hooting at girls making out. That's not socially acceptable, it's simply done.

YES IT IS.

It happens REPEATEDLY and to ENTHUSIASTIC ENCOURAGEMENT in bars.

If it were NOT acceptable then the patrons would be thrown out (which they aren't) and the girls wouldn't do it -- but lots of girls DO.

SOME people might look down on it, but that doesn't mean it's socially unacceptable.

DA

"Socially unacceptable" doesn't always mean a behavior so reviled that you get kicked out of establishments for it. That's just one extreme on the unacceptability spectrum. You're not gonna get kicked out of a bar for picking your nose, no matter how long you do it or how close to your brain your fingers get. The worst that's gonna happen to you is you get people looking down on you. That doesn't mean it's now socially acceptable to pick your nose in public.

Groups can REPEATEDLY and ENTHUSIASTICALLY ENCOURAGE all kinds of fucked up behavior. It doesn't mean that those behaviors are now acceptable. They only have the courage to do it when they're in a large group; it makes them feel immune to social criticism. Maybe to them in that moment it's acceptable, but society at large still thinks that it's crude and inappropriate and unacceptable.

Wishful thinking. We'd all like to think that the world is less skeevy and shitty and bigoted than it is, but...

I think no one here knows what ~~socially acceptable~~ means.
