Feminist Folly: "Sexuality is good. Unless you're "normal."

I address some of the more apparent double-standards that I've seen in Feminist thinking. If it doesn't apply to you, than it doesn't apply to you. I only have my own two eyes to see with. Nothing should be taken personally, or as an attack. I'm just a bit tired of watching feminist videos, gritting my teeth as I watch these folks drone on about the evils of people like me; heterosexual.

I hear a lot of talk about biology, but many rules made up in society have absolutely nothing to do with biology. Yes, biology can explain that animals are sexual, but what it doesn't explain is human love and relationship. To say that you're straight or gay because of biology is a cop out. So, is superficiality biology? I'll have sex with you only if you're(insert condition here) Biology can't explain why I have fallen in love with a person regardless of their gender, and it's not bisexuality.

@wonderwhaz797, um.... you talk about biology as if it applies to animals but not humans. Humans ARE animals. See, I can tell that there's no point in having this discussing with you because we're on a completely different page. This will be the teller, let me ask you; do you accept, fully, micro and macro evolution, and its mechanisms of natural selection, sexual selection, mutation and genetic drift; as laid down by Charles Darwin?

@wonderwhaz797, and no, Biology probably wont be able to tell you why you've fallen in "love" with any one specific person - but evolutionary psychology is quite capable of explaining why certain people go for certain other types of people; this all has to do with sexual selection. Genetics is the main determining factor in our behavior, above all else.

Certain things said in this video just aren't accurate or are contradicted. For instance, "normal sexuality" which is the most popular, actually is due to one's conditioning or brainwashing. Sexual preference whether "straight" or "gay" is a choice made, due to one's own mental conditioning. Division is not natural or else it negates unconditional love. Simply put, you love a human, not a gender. The mainstream view is a result of religious dogma. Natural sexuality has no gender preference.

"Sexual preference whether "straight" or "gay" is a choice made, due to one's own mental conditioning." Like this, the biggest bunch of nonsense I've ever read in my life. Really? You choose to be attracted to whoever you want? I don't know about you, but that sure isn't a talent that I possess. Nor have I heard of that before. Interesting concept - good luck backing it up.

Why are you so angry?

@wonderwhaz797 What are you talking about, angry? You must have some great abilities if you are able to infer someones state of mind simply by reading a few sentences?!?!?

I'm pro-feminist, but there is too much "political correctness". If you want to read

some feminists who are more pro-normal, read Jeannine Parvati Baker, or people in the birth community.. such as Nancy Wainer Cohen's Open Season. Also check out obstetrician Michel Odent. Wendy Shalit's A Return to Modesty, is good too.

Evolution could be the very thing that is leading us out of the divisions. In other words, IF our sexual preference behaviour is genetic, then it is quite possible that the objective awareness of that divisive behaviour can lead us beyond "natural" division, that's IF such a thing exists. Genetics is not a green light for our behaviour. Even genetics has to be challenged, so that you can evolve and the human being changes and grows out of division.

The goal is unconditional love.

[wonderwhaz797]

I'll put it very simply. You don't love a gender, you love a human being. That is unconditional love.

the only way I can make sense of your comments is if I assume that you are speaking from a religious perspective, i.e. trying to say that certain forms of sexuality aren't "normal" or something. Otherwise, I find this to be quite baffling.
