In terms of liberation, life has been good for homosexuals since 1980. Approval of homosexual sex by the general public has skyrocketed. When I was an undergraduate, gay marriage was not even on the radar for progressives. Now it is the law of the land. An openly gay man -- Buttigieg -- is a popular Democratic presidential candidate. In my department meeting Wednesday, a colleague boasted that her son now identifies as gay, making us all feel inferior because our kids are straight.
All this progress and liberation has really delivered on gay happiness, right? Actually, mean happiness has dropped in every decade. Homosexual men are less happy than they were at the height of the AIDS epidemic.
This reminds me of female liberation. Women are also less happy. Look at the graph.
Liberation has not delivered.
>Back in the day (circa 2012), the joke was that people pretend to be alphas on their keyboards, bragging of exploits that never happened, often followed by "Please buy my book and subscribe to my channel." I guess, back then people were in cope-mode, unaware of their real (abysmally low) value on the sexual market. Back in 2012-2013, people hoped that with just more reading PUA blogs and so on, they would get the girl. Well, now in 2019, they realize that it was a pipe-dream; it was over all along.
ReplyDelete>So now, instead of bragging about all the sex you get on a regular basis with 10/10s, you brag about all the sex you can't get even with fugly post-wall landwhales. Seems that people always need to signal that they aren't low status, and since we all became realistic about our lack of sex life, we now accord each other pity-points (really, status-points) for how celibate we are.
>Someone needs to send a memo to the Feminists (Tumblrinas, Twitterinas, and Buzzfeederati) that we no longer pretend to be Chads, but rather, we now emphasize our sexual frustration for purely Machiavellian reasons.

But, isn't everyone less happy? If one problem is solved then it seems human nature to move on to being made miserable by the next problem in line. All "Liberation" did was remove one problem to leave space for all the others, most of which are not Gay-centric anyway.
