Patreon Grab Bag: Bible Porn, Fozzy Bear & More (FDS PODCAST EP. 75)

I loved the description of Alok Vaid Menon by Reaux: "looks like Fozzy Bear got hit with a clown makeup gun" damn. That roast was very well deserved

Reaux’s bible-thumping hick accent killed me!!! Please make that a regular cameo ladies 😂😂😂

On the video about pronouns that LAUSD shared, Imani instructs her followers to "check out" Vincent’s "absolutely gorgeous boudoir photos as well."

Safe-guarding women and children is mean! Creep and groomer are slurs! Lol its a mens rights movement. And screw alok menon(men-on-porn lol) for darvoing and victim blaming literal children.

I thought I had no idea who Alok Vaid-Menon is, but when I looked this up, I think I've seen Alok before a long while back when I was looking up what non-binary means. One of the search results was a video of Alok (or a look alike? But no... who else looks like this?) in a pink tutu giving a primer on this stuff. I vaguely remember the video had Alok riding a unicorn over a rainbow or something.

Or maybe that was just a fever dream I had.

I don't remember hearing any mention on the podcast either. Maybe it was in one of the Patreon-only podcast episodes?

Anyway, I appreciate you ladies for calling a grift a grift!

This part especially nails the crux of the problem: "Your eyes can recognize the male secondary sex characteristics, right? I don't like the power move of being made to pretend I don't see what my eyes see."

I generally like to live and let live, and say "you do you" to people. But that's not good enough anymore. When my eyes see a man, and my gut tells me he's a threat, I'm now expected to toss that aside and fully commit to believing as soon as he claims he's not a man. I'm supposed to consider my intuition wrong.

What kind of person has the most to gain from breaking down women's built-in safeguards like this? Predators, that's who.

Say this just about anywhere else online, and the response would be "waaaah, you're saying gender non-conforming people are all predators!" Obviously they are not all predators and neither are all men predators. But it's still dangerous to ask any woman to throw caution to the wind on nothing more than someone else's say-so.

Takes some serious audacity to tell women we should be okay with risking rape and murder to spare someone's feelings.

Fun fact about Song of Solomon: it’s told from the point of view of a young woman who was being courted by King Solomon (gross old man with hundreds of wives), and the whole time he’s trying to add her to his collection, she’s telling him no, and that she has a hot shepherd boy back home that she likes. In the end, Solomon never manages to coerce her into becoming one of his wives, and she leaves the court and goes home to marry her hot shepherd boy. One of things I like about it is that there are objectifying descriptions, not just of female beauty, but of male beauty as well (lots of rhapsodizing about how hot the MC’s boyfriend back home is), and that the things being praised about male beauty are all told from the female gaze. No descriptions of a rugged muscle man, but rather of his “hair, like grape clusters”, his eyes, his nice lips, his tanned skin, and his well-built form. Anyway, my favorite part of the Bible, because it’s just about a woman turning down a rich old guy for a hot young guy.

Great episode! I actually liked the little tangents because they were funny or educational & still strategy related. I wish the hosts could outright say "we're not doing your pronoun nonsense, deal with it" instead of having to tip toe around it. But I understand there's probably the risk of getting banned from Patreon or other services.

I was snorting in the gym with my headphones on listening to this episode 😂

This episode was soooo funny omg 😂

I loved this episode!

F that guy who dismisses white cis women!
