This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

They didn't claim that. They said even progressive women will leave you, meaning they have that issue with all the usual suspects, but also progressive women.
But it feels odd to single them out rather than who would really perpetuate.
You're right, the difference is that I'm reading it in bad faith and you're reading it in good faith.
doesn't count as a true Scotsman fallacy if I assume they aren't really progressive.
but you can't be progressive if you have an issue with queer people or anyone bending gender boundaries.
There's degrees to everything, though. There's plenty of traits I think are perfectly okay for people to have, but that I'm still not looking for in a partner. So I guess I probably also fail your purity test.
Okay, but are you banned from progressivism if you're not into them sexually?
That's a hell of an onus. Like, you literally need to work yourself up to being horny for "anyone bending gender boundaries" or you're out?
you aren't obligated to be attracted to anyone.
but if you have a rule that intentionally discriminates someone, then sort of. there's some work for them to do internally.
Man, that's even more confused. So you can be heteronormatively horny, but only as long as you acknowledge the possibility of boning outside your comfort zone? If gender nonconforming sex happens in the hypothetical woods does anybody hear it?
Honestly, that'd be kinda funny if it wasn't such a depressing proxy for leftist purity tests and frequent inability to accept any intermediate states between utopian idealized outcomes and right wing dystopia.
That's a BrandNewSentence if I've ever seen any.
