Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I went and read the article so much more ridiculous than I thought:
The article its self is so stupid. Saying the dumbest shit:
Okay, so now we're ignoring bi people as being a little same sex attracted? Wtf do these people think being gay means??? This is lala land stupid shit.
Leading into quotes from consumers of said websites:
Yeah, if you're jerking off to someone's male aspects or that "something extra" that's same sex attracted - aka in common parlance: ghheeeey.
Like the "something extra" is a penis. That's gay. I can't believe these ridiculous people who would claim otherwise.
Yeah, sex is a subtle and diverse spectrum and all - but same sex attraction is same sex attraction. If we're going to stop saying what we mean, or going to pretend things are what they aren't...then we can't communicate on any of this, and shouldn't talk.
Bi is a little gay. Looking at trans porn involving penises, is pretty gay. Pretty same sex attracted. Which means gay.
....and then so much of what you complained about wasn't even in the article. Like hell dawg, what's up with that?
Wow, you wrote all of this and then talked about a bunch of pseudoscience in the other comment, and you didn't even read my fucking comment, I seriously can not with you people anymore. I specifically mentioned in my comment that the article was outdated, and you wrote this.
All of this and it's obvious you haven't so much as read Gender Trouble, let alone anything relevant to this topic besides some obviously liberal assimilationist talk that ignores both queer history and queer scholarship that explores the cultural production and reproduction of gender and sex.
Why pretend to care if you don't? Unreal.
"You people"
I'm not a fan of Judith Butler's hyper specificity, no, and I don't pretend Gender Trouble (which is also a bit dated) is the be all and end all of queer studies. Also no one said anything about assimilation - I said communication... Which ultimately everyone has to do.
Anyways, uptight leftist with a quick temper when disagreed with (reproducing a culture much?), I'll leave you to it.
P.S Do Liberals often complain to you about Capitalism forcing people into porn? Really - try to be a bit more coherent with your insults next time.
