For example, one partner earning substantially more money than the other is also an unbalanced power dynamic.

Key differences here.

Age is easily calculable and society already legislates around age, so there is a discourse to be had about what the exact "rules" should be, whereas other "power dynamics" are more complex and nuance, it wouldn't really be possible or desirable to have the police monitoring people's financial status to make sure they weren't sleeping with people significantly poorer than them.

Also, with age and sex, everyone (besides AnCaps) seems to recognize that there is definitely such a thing as a "child", as in someone too young that adults shouldn't be having sex with them (and for very young children just shouldn't be having sex at all), age gap discourse just seems to be an extension of the general cultural debate about where exactly that line is drawn.

    Pro-Slaver Southern philospher who argued for returning to feudal monarchy and even said the South should enslave poor white people.

    In order to expand the institution of slavery, Fitzhugh proposed both the enslavement of all free black people and the enslavement of working-class people of all races, making him notable as possibly the only anti-abolitionist to propose slavery be expanded to include white people.

     

    The cult was clearly doing some "flirty fishing" shit cuz the second I showed up a bunch of hot women started flirting with me, but then they realized I was a journo and locked me in a moldy storage room.

    But I was able to escape when the compound was attacked by a neo-Nazi biker gang the cult was beefing with.

    Anyway I think the new anti-anxiety meds I'm on are making my dreams freakier. They're working great otherwise though.

    Honestly Canada is the weirdest one here. It's pretty easy to get Amerikkkans on board for a war against scary brown people a thousand miles away, especially if they worship a different religion or are commies. But... invading a nation right next door filled with predominantly English speaking, predominantly Christian, whites who have a long history of cultural intermingling with the US? I really think that's gonna be a hard sell.

    I think MAGA is just overestimating how many Canadian CHUDs are pro-annexation.

    A reactionary, capitalist, consumerist nightmare of a holiday for treat chasing kkkrackkers!

    Under Communism we will re-edit "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" to end with the Grinch shoving that sled over the cliff before a crowd of crying Whos, and the Grinch will be declared a Hero of the People's Republic!

    We will replace Christmas with Halloween 2, the superior proletariat Holiday to the decadent bourgeois Christmas!

    ...sorry I work retail and this week has been utter hell. Fuck Christmas!
