there's tons of theory ("75,900 search results" lets get Goopy) on this exact topic. Pretty sus that leftists cannot talk about it, probably because woke radlibs agree "mental health and wellness are the true revolution". The DSA shares the Liz Warren at OWS ideology of "consumer freedom for individuals to make rational, self interested choices as they navigate the marketplace"
Hexbear:"the USSR is so absurdly moralist in their anti-bourgeois ideology, masturbation isn't a liberal construct that leads to atomized people disregarding society lol"
Moralist bureaucratic neoliberals at every McKinsey consulted corporation: "its important to have a sexual practice for your mindfulness and wellness as an individual. If you aren't making conspicuously virtuous instagram self-perfection posts, you are falling behind in the marketplace and no one will hire you for a gig or brand engagement. Your LinkedIn resume must be trash if you don't tweet about shoving a jade egg up there, my woke PMC friends will never hire someone lacking in spiritual self-care virtues like you. You will NEVER be part of our corporate family" :pete:
imagine talking about an elephant but you never say the word "elephant ", you only talk about easily recognizable features we are all familiar with, like a "long trunk" or "floppy ears" or "uncanny human-like eyes" or "long memory and desire for revenge"
does anyone know what this thing is??? "🐘" I can see the image but I don't know the word because leftists tell me its jargon that the working class must be ignorant about
I wish I could write like this. Just completely impossible to understand yet somehow all these sentences are in fact comprehensible individually.
masturbation isn’t a liberal construct

we have traced the origins of liberalism to that fossilized guy who cranked one out while vesuvius ate pompeii :very-smart:

unironically got em
:thinky-felix: goop dieting is CrossFit for women, because it’s so self-punishing was the best take of the episode
i know this is a joke but listen to the interview they did with Barbara Ehrenreich if anyone really thinks this
Episode 209 - Death Becomes You feat. Barbara Ehrenreich (5/9/18)
Mostly it was about her book Natural Causes: An Epidemic of Wellness, the Certainty of Dying, and Killing Ourselves to Live Longer that criticized the medical establishment, the wellness industry, and the emerging synthesis of the two. At the time I thought it was a weird topic for leftists to care about, but she provides some really fantastic insight.
I guess that's the point of a lot of advertising, which is a large piece of marketing, but advertising will also tell you the rational reasons to give someone money, if they can think of any
(CW: goop :owl-wink:) The only politically correct form of masturbation is the scene from Cider House Rules by John Irving when the protagonist is taking a nap in the cider mill, wakes up and cranks one off as a prelapsarian, unconsidered natural urge, and then mysteriously can just shake his hand off in the dirt outside and go about his day.
