#mine language

[nightmareevara]

Being someone's safe place is the greatest honor.

[perfectlyripeclementine]

calling my lover "mine" but not in the way that my toothbrush or notebook are mine, mine in the way my neighborhood is mine, and also everybody else's, "mine" like mine to tend to, mine to care for, mine to love. "mine" not like possession but devotion.

This is the list of most natively spoken languages in the world, and I want to see how it relates to the (English speaking) tumblr population that will see this.

Being called "my girl" hits different

there‘s a reason why it‘s „suck my dick“ and not „lick my pussy“ to demean someone.

there‘s a reason why we say „get fucked“ and „that‘s fucked“. fucked means: penetrated.

there‘s a reason why so much language surrounding penetrative sex is so violent: smashed, nailed, „rearranging someone‘s guts“, banging, screwing.

there‘s a reason why so many people have an aversion to gay sex, or even straight men engaging in passive anal acts.

there‘s a reason why lesbian porn catered to men usually involves dildos and strap-ons.

there‘s a reason why it‘s „big dick energy“ and „small dick energy“ and not big and small pussy energy.

there‘s a reason why a woman‘s vagina is considered „worn out“ when she had a lot of sexual partners while it doesnt impact a man‘s dick.

there‘s a reason why men say „i fucked your mom/sister“ as an insult: i stained your property, i dishonored your family.

there‘s a reason why women with a lot of sexual partners, or even women who arent virgins, are considered „dirty“ and dishonored, and why gay and bisexual men are seen as less manly.

there‘s a reason why women who are and were prostitutes or in porn are seen as less worthy while men who buy sex or do (straight) porn are seen as manly, which is considered good.

there‘s a reason why „whore“ and „slut“ are female specific terms.

penetration is seen as degrading.

and sex is often only considered as penetration. and the penis is considered to be superior, and a tool of degradation.

and to be penetrated is seen as a female trait, which in turn justifies women‘s degradation and misogyny. this is where a lot of homophobia stems from as well.

this is why the penis is not a neutral body part.
