What you want is perfectly pragmatic, step-by-step answers to every social dilemma, and since we can't produce them, you call the philosophies behind our activism useless. You're a typical "fixer"--that is, a male who wants to fix problems in a straight-forward, logical way, but life isn't like that, Lux. Life is big and messy and every major problem in it is beyond any one person (or even groups of persons) to fix, even those in power, and we most certainly have no political power. What the fuck do you want us to do? Pull the perfect solutions out of our ass? They don't exist! Get that through your skull.

This shit is far bigger than any of us and will consume lifetimes, just as activism for racial and gender equality are still very much going on, even though many of the larger battles have won in those areas. Anyone who pretends to have the perfect tools for any social ill, especially one of this magnitude, is either lying or deluded.

Your arrogance and impatience is what pisses me off--you want someone to lay down an absolute list of tried-and-true activist commandments, and when no one is able to deliver such a list, you denounce the whole thing as a fraud. That is so completely arrogant it is beyond a worthy response, and yet I feel compelled to rhetorically shake some sense into you and say, "What the hell do you expect from us? A miracle?"

This stuff takes time, and people have given scads of practicable advice, from flooding the Net with pro-ped sites, from the subtle to the blatant, to making other DIY media and distributing it around to just talking to the kids we love and letting them know when they grow up that we loved them romantically when they were little but didn't want to engage them sexually because of society. Creating art that speaks to these issues, even if not blatantly, is the best thing we can do at this point. And also, cutting at the root of the problem--organized religion and the anti-sex mentality in general.

Look at the big picture and stop trying to focus only on one narrow part of the whole--you are the one who is making the biggest deal out of the sexual component of our attraction and saying, "Well, you're all a bunch of dreamers!" Obviously, you are a very sexually frustrated and repressed individual, and your masking your impatience with moral indignation.

Just chill, dude--find better things to do with your time than trying to shoot us down and demolish our dreams. If we're wrong, then we'll likely never know, since most of what we desire will never come to fruition in our lifetime anyway; if we're right, then your anti-ish rants are more of an obstacle than a help and will prove to be the needless naysaying I believe it is. Not that you care, I imagine--it's obvious that you've become the mouthpiece for a gov't that is harassing you for reasons that need not be outlined on this board. Give it a rest already.
