  1. I think adult rated linden homes could be near as an idea. Is it an absolutely  nessarcy thing that must happen right now?

    Nope!

    But it would be neat to see  one day. It would make sl munches (which would be non comerical) very fun. Chatting with fellow kinksters who'd also like more casual and quaint apperance of beli but the freedom to wear a bit more risqué outfit without scaring the neighbours.

  2. As a nonbinary person who can get pregant and seeing similar issues brewing in my country. I  am very nerveous about the precedent that the overturning of Roe sets. Paticularly as the internet is becoming increasingly monitored. While second life might be overlooked for now. I remember the outcries of old at it's  peesence and the presence of adult content.  We might lose members as the world gets darker.

  3. As an autistic person, people consider me a weirdo because of my stims, my issues with understanding body language, sarcasm and  other social cues.

    As a trans person, I am considered a mentally ill predator who will  hurt everyone around me and needs to be killed at worst, a poor misunderstood "girl" who needs to "love her femininity" at best.

    With my plurality, My head mates and I are considered as such: They don't exist and  I'm just a manipulative  who will snap and kill people because something something craaaazzy.

    With my suspected NPD? Well you can't go two steps without seeing "here's why narcissists are the worst people ever and here's how they suck the life out of your pure empathic soul with their crazy,  manipulative and weird  ways that seek to destory everything good in this world."

    Compassion and care are the root of empathy though. empathy is about beign able to put ourselves in other people's shoes, to try to see their point of view, and to understand it. You don't have to agree with them, or enable them on something you don't want to.. That is empathy. And it's based on having compassion for others and care for others.

    No, not really. Empathy is indeed the ability to viscerally feel what another feels.. Something I struggle with daily. But it's not a necessary thing for compassion. Sometimes having too much empathy can interfere with compassion. Ask any medical professional.

    I can sympathise with people, understand what their going through and that is what drives my compassion. But I can't feel it the way most empathic people. So please,  don't try to dismiss my own experiences and condition.

  5. As someone with low empathy and really poor mentalth health, I've faced allot of stigma and issues offline and online.

    people have dismissed my problems, I've had benefits unfairly taken away becaue I wasn't "sick enough" even when struggling to stay alive. People like me are called monsters because of our low or lack of empathy. Even when we have so much compassion and care.

     

    Never mind that my headmates very person-hood is constantly put into question simply because the world can't wrap their head around the fact that plurality exists.

    Besides yearning for the past, you apparently have little understand of today's real world finances.  There are many, many people in SL that cannot afford to pay $99 a month for a piece of virtual property with a virtual house on it.  In some countries, $99 is a literal fortune.

    I'm  one of those people that can't afford £99 a month. I only get £200-ish a fortnight,  £50 of that is rent which is also a fortnight,  £15 a month for my share of the internet/tv/phone bill.

    add in about roughly £21-27 of travel expenses this year for college travel and I have juuust enough for small  luxuries but certainly not a peice of virtual land for that amount of money.

  7. Some of these are repeats but:

    - masculine head for femmine bodies for those of that are masc leaning in our andro ways.

    - more unisex clothing that covers a range of styles.  Cute lolita coords for masc bodies, extravagant  suit coture for femmnone bodies.

    -  More plus size friendly bodies, heads and skins,

    - More clothing based on styles from around the world.

    - Kawaii/Japanese  street fashion that actually  looks like it came from japan. Instead of the usual club and underwear but in pastel stuff.

    Why must you use terms that denigrate feminism itself, using the most tired of stereotypes (Radical! Bad bad bad!), when making points like this? Does making this argument necessitate invalidating and demonising the women's rights movement?

    I have a peeve about this. 

     

    As Scylla mentioned, It's the term the radfems use for themselves,  not a slur. While radical isn't a negative term either but neutral depending on context.  (in fact many would call many of my own views radical!) But of course, Terfs sorry "Gender critical" types could hardly be called feminist anyway. What with the Transphobia, racism, ableism and other such nonsense they spout. I myself am a feminist,  thus my ire at them because they not only pose a personal  threat to me (the details of which I won't be sharing on a public forum ofc), but also undermine everything I believe and hold dear when it comes to gender equality.  My issue is never with feminism, but those self proclaimed who are anything but.

     

    It's my biggest peeve when people take one part of a paragraph  or sentence and assume the worst.

    Yes yes. Not all men. And lots of women too I'm sure.

    The problem is that these behaviors are frequently gendered. I'm sure there ARE women who behave as the men we've described -- but, sorry, this is a kind of approach to relationships and sex that is particularly associated with the social conditioning of men. 

    Socialization is NOT the same for men and women. It should be. But it isn't. And it won't be until we collectively address the gendered assumptions around sex, relationships, and power. And yes, we need to address at the same time the bad behaviors of women. But those are predominantly different behaviors.

    Scylla normally we're on the same wavelength but I need to kinda point something out. The assumption of gendered socialisation is often radfem/terf retoric used to discriminate  against us trans folk. So we gotta be really careful about using it as a blanket statement. It can also be (but not always) American centric as every culture has different  expectations for manhood and womanhood that get overlooked.

    That isn't to say that the expectations don't exist.  Patriarchy depends on them. It's  just that we cannot blanket statement it.
