“By the age of twenty, you know you’re not going to be a rock star. By twenty-five, you know you’re not going to be a dentist or any kind of professional. And by thirty, darkness starts moving in- you wonder if you’re ever going to be fulfilled, let alone wealthy and successful. By thirty-five, you know, basically, what you’re going to be doing for the rest of your life, and you become resigned to your fate.” — Douglas Coupland, Player One: What is to Become of Us

Do you not believe that, perhaps, men might emulate this behaviour and justify it as it becomes more normative in depictions of sexuality? That maybe, because they’ve seen scenes where no means yes, they might carry that into a relationship and cross the line into abuse or neglect of female sexual autonomy? Do you not think that a (male) dominant social order which encourages female subordination for male pleasure, and tells women to lay back and enjoy it, may pressure women to endure even if they feel disrespected?
He did not respond. “lol”, indeed.

Both: …
Me: I guess that sounds neurotic.
Mom: What have I done to you?
