Default Re: Why can\'t one be proud to be a straight white male

That's some pretty strong hate there! You must have missed the part of the thread where I painstakingly linked to peer-reviewed articles from scientific journals that stated that human-animal sexual interaction is often consensual, and that in fact animals often eschewed sex with their own species in favor of humans!

Bills, if you'd reread your own thread, I replied 5 times. 2 months ago.

Given your affection for ACism, I'd think you'd value an affective relationship between two peers over an affective relationship where one party has no meaningful means of redressing wrongs.

Unless you're granting the animal in such a relationship basic rights equivalent to its partner (like, say, freedom from arbitrary murder), then the fundamental dynamic remains one of force. American slave owners who had sex with slaves didn't always coerce their partners, but the fact remains that the partner's consent was fundamentally irrelevant.
