On the straight man narrative thing. Yes it is very true. I would flirt with gay men to feel pretty. Women didn't tend to express thier desire of me when i was younger. Now I know but not because they say so, but because I watch very closely how they react to me.

I think this is slowly changing. As slut-shaming falls off, it becomes safer for women to objectify men. We get to see you as objects of lust without the pointless stigma, and culturally we all get to relax into the greater honesty.

YAY!

OooOo, I love the silent world stuff.....

I thought people might like that. I'm ceaselessly stalking the internet while you sleep, to bring you pretty things for your brain to eat. Or something.
