RP biotroofs invade local high school (self.TheBluePill)

Peachykeengreat が 投稿

So my partner teaches freshman English at one of the local high schools and was discussing Romeo and Juliet when a bit of sexism popped up. The kids were kinda slut shaming Juliet even after my partner explained that Romeo had come for one girl and left with another. Well one kid starts off with "well a lock..." and my partner cut him off saying that was the stupidest thing he had ever heard. My jaw dropped when he relayed this to me. So don't be surprised if you find some RPs coming around whose balls haven't even dropped.

Good on your partner, shutting that bullshit down hard.

Comparing vaginas and penises to keys and locks really is just the stupidest fucking thing. Genitalia are not security mechanisms.

I've never heard a good counter-argument as to why the metaphor is stupid tbh. It's pretty accurate to the human social mating process.

Also, your husband telling a student his opinion is stupid is very unprofessional, and quite frankly, kinda dangerous given his profession if the parents get involved. I don't know why this is being praised...in fact, many studies suggest telling people their opinions are stupid only emboldens them to believe it more fiercely.

I'll tell you why it doesn't make sense. Let's try another metaphor.

The mans penis is a pencil. The womans vagina is the pencil sharpener. Now, just like a pencil needs to be sharpened from time to time, the man wants sex from time to time. But get this. Each time the pencil is sharpened the pencil gets shorter and loses value. But a pencil sharpener that is capable of sharpening lots of pencils? Hell yeah you would want that.

So in this analogy, it's the man who loses value instead of the woman. Does this make any sense? Of course not. But neither does the lock and key analogy.

It's a stupid metaphor because people aren't inanimate objects limited to one specific function that can be replaced with perfectly identical replicas without any real problem outside of installing one.

As for being called a stupid idea, I'd call any Red Pillism stupidity like AWALT if I heard it in real life, just like I'd criticize blatant racism or homophobia. Prejudice doesn't need to be entertained or given the respect of a debate.

It's pretty accurate to the human social mating process.

It's pretty accurate to ideas about men and women that were established by societies several thousand years ago. Welcome to the present: we're living in a world with birth control, STD testing, antibiotics, higher education, and a very low mortality rate for infants. The burden of proof is on anyone who wants to claim that the metaphor is actually apt to modern social structures, if it's going to restrict the behavior of only half the population.

Proof. Metaphors are not proof. Metaphors are a creative exercise. They have their place. They are not a replacement for the social sciences.
