[QUOTE="rambot, post: 71999931, member: 145797"] Relative to the list of other sexual fantasies, it's kinda low. You caught the bit in the article about "real life" though too right? Perhaps its from my time in uni when I would get called out for using that idea without support. And for good reason. Without backing it up with a source, how can I know it is anything other than your own strongly held opinion. I understand what you are saying here but I think it speak to a can o' worms I simply don't have the time energy or inclination to go down (having to do with the "patriarchy"). For the record, this thread was really only about trigger warnings as that is the only thing I have a strong enough opinion on to keep discussing. Honestly, my opinion on anything like this is complete and TOTAL ambivalence. It's like watching pigs slop about in the mud. I dislike people equating internet experiences with real life experiences and the outcomes as well (so yes...these....people....the charicature is female and is likely more common if I were to guess, who complain about PTSD from the internet, go no patience for that nonsense). But your right back to downplaying the experiences of women when you don't know what those experiences are again. 'SOME women" There are many (I dare say MOST women) who aren't triggered by that...maybe as much as 90% of the women I know. So that leaves about 10% of women....theoretically? It's not "arbitrary" it's how our brain responds to it and that isn't necessarily in anyone's control. As I mentioned in a post a while ago, I managed to avoid PTSD when my coworker who experienced almost the exact same, will never return to work because of it. And before your lynchpin your argument; there were 2 OTHER females with me who also did not develop PTSD from that. [/QUOTE]
