    5 tenants of conservatism

    1. God ✝️

    2. Guns 

    3. Fear of change 

    4. Less taxes 

    5. Racism 

    Lol

     

    But fr tho, one reason is conservatives tend to be lesser educated

    There's actually a direct correlation, the less educated someone is, the more likely they'll be conservative.

    Unsolvable hm.

    I think acceptance is part of that equation. I know with struggle it can be common to resist unsolvable issues, which can cause a lot of mental turmoil. When you accept it, you come to peace with it.

    This doesn't mean you are enabling/condoning/neglecting etc. But you are coming to peace with the suffering with an issue 

    Practically speaking there's a few ways I know how to actualize that. Mindfulness meditation, sedona method.

    Lots of evidence based therapy modalities as well

    Where does the stigma come from? Maybe theres some wisdom in it

    chatgpt4: 

    The stigma surrounding homosexuality has complex and varied origins, influenced by historical, cultural, religious, and societal factors. Here are some key aspects:

    Historical Factors: Throughout history, many societies have had norms and laws that privilege heterosexual relationships, often viewing them as the only legitimate form of relationship. This has led to a marginalization of homosexuality.

    Religious Influences: Many major religions, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, have traditionally viewed homosexual acts as immoral or sinful, based on their interpretations of religious texts. This religious stance has significantly influenced societal attitudes.

    Cultural Norms and Traditions: In many cultures, traditional gender roles and expectations about family structure are closely tied to heterosexuality. Deviations from these norms, such as homosexuality, can be seen as threatening to the social order.

    Lack of Understanding and Fear: Homophobia, the fear or hatred of homosexuals, often stems from a lack of understanding. Misconceptions and myths about homosexuality can lead to prejudice and discrimination.

    Societal and Legal Discrimination: Historically, many societies have enacted laws that explicitly discriminate against homosexual individuals, reinforcing the notion that homosexuality is wrong or abnormal.

    Psychological Theories: Earlier psychological theories pathologized homosexuality, treating it as a mental illness. Although this view has been largely discredited and abandoned by the mainstream medical and psychological communities, its legacy can still influence attitudes.

    Media Representation: For a long time, media portrayals of LGBTQ+ individuals were either negative or nonexistent, which contributed to widespread misunderstanding and stereotyping.

    Understanding the origins of this stigma is crucial for addressing and combating it, and for promoting a more inclusive and accepting society. The attitudes towards homosexuality have been changing in many parts of the world, with increasing acceptance and legal rights for LGBTQ+ individuals, but challenges and stigma persist in various forms.

    If it's so normal why don't you become gay? If it's no big deal 

    Depending where youre from it can be not 'normal' in the sense that it is heavily stigmatized to be gay. You're open to public judgement, disapproval, losing friends, family, job opportunities etc. It can be a dominating, culture wide perspective 

    It's normal in the sense that it's a normal human emotion to feel (same as straight feelings) 

    But conservative, religious countries put strong negative judgements around a normal, human thing which keep many people in the closet hiding their sexuality, having (often unconscious) repressed sexual feelings, and exploring their sexuality

    Can the LGTBODPEWIE people at least admit that being gay is not normal? Like be gay if you want but just admit it's not a thing humans normally partake in. I feel like they try to shove it down everyone throats by saying "what do you mean you won't allow gays, whats wrong with being gay" taking the position of playing dumb and expecting everyone to play along

    There should be a law that gays have to adopt orphans rather than get surrogates 

     

    Being gay is normal bro, it's just that stigma prevents people from being open about it or even accepting it in themselves

    @Emerald

     I think in terms of attraction its more about conventionally masculine qualities – confidence, leadership, assertiveness, humor etc. 

    it's the same with women too. If a girl is assertive, outspoken, aggressive (even ambitious too), it doesn't always fit the classic 'feminine' image. But I think that's changing tho

    I don't think girls (generally) dislike being kind, empathetic, sensitive etc. But it doesn't have the sexual attractive pull of what they're looking for in a 'man'

    If ur speaking non generally it doesn't matter, theres someone for everyone

    @Princess Arabia I'd have to respectfully disagree, i think men and women generally go through different challenges and there are certain challenges that many men face that women don't face (and vice versa) 

    Like getting sex or dates, can take quite some effort for the average guy. It's not in simple abundance like it is for many women. 

    Like men generally will almost never have women hit on them, reach out, approach them, dm them etc. It happens but it's rare. Men also have to put 3-5x more effort in a dating profile to get even an okay amount of matches 

    That being said, its a reality but it's easily solved with a bit of effort

    Yeah I think a reframe is important here. To an extent it's similar to job hunting. There's gonna be a lot of rejecting and you need a good frame around it. I just see it as part of the process. It's to be expected that only 1-5% of jobs will consider you 

    Lol

    I think this dovetails nicely with the post on trauma someone made a few days ago here. Like one person might get traumatized from a rejection and another sees 1 rejection just as another number out of x

    I call for the Xinjiang Counter-Terrorism initiative on these people.

    This what you're advocating for?

    > In recent years, the Chinese Communist Party under Xi Jinping Administration's policy has been marked by much harsher policies, including mass surveillance and the incarceration without trial of over one million Uyghurs and other Muslim minority ethnic groups in internment camps... government policies have included forced labor, suppression of Uyghur religious practices, political indoctrination, forced sterilization, forced contraception, and forced abortion

    Like if you keep talking to yourself in a desired way, can you certain inner voice that becomes a habit ?

    It seems very possible 

    Like just like you talk to others, you can take that energy and do it to yourself 

    I think you can create literally the way you fucking speak to yourself
