OK, I like that we are acknowledging racism, sexism, etc are indeed still a problem in the Other Now, not fixed by economic system change!
But I deeply dislike that “[sex] can only be good and thus truly consensual, if I do it because I can’t help myself” in the mouth of a woman. “It isn’t sexy to have to ask” is an argument I more often hear from men. Let’s see where this Socratic dialogue goes 😬

I figured out what’s bothering me: the way some “democratic” solutions ignore existing irrational prejudices. Like, if co-workers vote on each others’ bonuses, we KNOW the self-promoting white man is gonna get more than the woman or the person who can’t make eye contact, yeah? And if local communities decide immigration policy, you’re gonna get more “sorry we’re full!”. At least on the <15 year timescale presented!
