I have this ongoing discussion of two parts of my subconsciousness, one fighting against the other, their standpoints are:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\"><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hedonist Noah<span style=\"float:right;\">Critical Anti-Sexist Noah<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Wohoo, I want to have sex with so<br \/>\nmany different women! And at best,<br \/>\nnow!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right;\">Hey, hey, chill! First thing, question<br \/>\nyour desire! (Thank you, Swani)<br \/>\nAnd second: Well, it is nice that you think like<br \/>\nthat but not everyone on this planet thinks like<br \/>\nthat and especially not at the same time when you<br \/>\ndo!<\/p>\n<p>What the fuck do you want? I feel that great<br \/>\ndesire and it feels really good. I really want<br \/>\nto go and ask that woman who is passing or the<br \/>\nother one that is sitting over there in the park on<br \/>\ntheir point of view, maybe they have the same<br \/>\nfeeling at the moment and we could &#8230; \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right;\">Stop that, you idiot! Leave the other people alone and<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t carry the topic of sex around and stuff it in everyones<br \/>\nface! I learned that women get enough of that &#8220;Hey, wouldn&#8217;t<br \/>\nyou like to &#8230; you know&#8230;&#8221; and offers for sex like that.<br \/>\nJust because you don&#8217;t get them all the time doesn&#8217;t mean you<br \/>\ncan run around and do exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>But hey, what if I frame it with other words, to explain<br \/>\nmyself, to show and declare understanding for the situation<br \/>\nand be like:<br \/>\n&#8220;Hey, can I talk to you?&#8221;<br \/>\n&lt;assuming &#8216;yes&#8217; as answer&gt;<br \/>\n&#8220;I would like to speak about something rather private, is that<br \/>\nok?&#8221;<br \/>\n&lt;Assuming &#8216;yes&#8217; as answer&gt;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right;\">You are assuming a lot of &#8220;Yes&#8221; here!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">&#8220;I am aware if you are confronted with it a lot you might be<br \/>\nrather pissed but at the moment for me it makes sense to<br \/>\nsay this: In my imagination we would have a very good time<br \/>\nhaving sex and I feel a strong desire for having sex with you.<br \/>\nDo you have the same impression? Do you also feel a strong desire<br \/>\nfor sex?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right;\">What if they answer with &#8216;No&#8217;?<\/p>\n<p>Well then I of course say thank you and good-by,<br \/>\nsorry for having interrupted you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right;\">And what is exactly so different to a creep coming<br \/>\ndirectly to them saying &#8220;Hey, wanna have sex?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, I show them that the main focus is not only for<br \/>\nme to have sex but to figure out if the both of us would<br \/>\nenjoy that. And what a feminist are you, patronizing women<br \/>\nbased on mathematical statistics, isn&#8217;t that a farce itself? Why don&#8217;t<br \/>\nyou let them make that decision, whether they accept the questions<br \/>\nor smash it by simply saying no?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are many situations of that kind. And always both positions are to be criticised. Always both positions are somewhat right or wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The thing that bothers me the most is that they are only in my head, but this is not a problem that I could solve on my own.<br \/>\nFor that not even books and fancy statistics will help. It has to be deduced from the acts and answers of the living beings around me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being socialized as a male and aquiring a feminist perspective can lead to strange contradictiosn that I have to solve in my head.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4828,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,3,4],"tags":[203,255,364,418,431,511,512],"class_list":["post-3843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-deep-to-the-core","category-english","category-noahs-brains","tag-feminism","tag-hedonism","tag-male","tag-patronizign","tag-pick-up","tag-sex","tag-sexism"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.noahessl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.noahessl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.noahessl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.noahessl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.noahessl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.noahessl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.noahessl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.noahessl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.noahessl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.noahessl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
