I sure like this depression topic better, not even kidding. We have such a better understanding of psychology nowadays, which leads to more diagnoses. Not because more people are sick, but because we can actually tell. Maybe even help.
Or at least just *talk* about mental health (or non-vanilla sexualities/etc) without literally dying of shame and scandal.
Would you guess as well that the younger generation isn't doing so well about being taught how to manage emotions and where to draw clinical conclusions about how they feel?
I'd guess they're doing a few orders of magnitude better than the older generations did, at least.
Lol, no. Just look at how much worse males are at expressing any kind of love towards each other, for example.
I don't really agree? Setting aside the romantic love of course, I think guys are becoming more comfortable with close male friendships. Showing too much platonic affection for another guy used to be more dangerous... And you can still just say "no homo", anyway.
Yeah I think it does definitely fit into a venn diagram though. I was talking to a friend who was lamenting that dude subs know they're rare, and it tends to make them obnoxiously uppity.
I don't know what your friend meant exactly, but I'd like to point out that "subs" are... usually and IMO hopefully equal partners in a relationship. It's just a bedroom kink.
Lifestyle submission is disgusting to me, regardless of gender and whether it's a result of kink or culture. There's no good reason to become someone's actual slave, and it's not sustainable alongside a healthy life. A healthy relationship needs equality. I feel pretty strongly about that, nowadays.
This is why 50 Shades of Grey is a horrible series, it romanticizes unequal lifestyle D/S and is the worst kind of "You can fix him with patience". Healthy people with the kinks particularly hated it, because it makes them look bad by comparison.
So uh... I always found that doms were much rarer, but that surely differs by area and isn't the point. The point is that "uppity" implies that subs should be happy with less authority, which is no more than a dangerous common misconception.
"Submissives" can definitely be overdemanding, though. That one Oglaf strip (url /submission/) was pretty good criticism of *some* people.
