    I messaged a woman on fetlife. If you’ve never heard of fetlife, it’s a community for kinky people with handcuffs who want to handcuff others and do horribly sadistic things, and also for people who want to find someone to handcuff them and do horrible things to them.

    All safe, sane, and consentually of coarse.

    Anyways, I message a woman on fetlife. I tell her how I feel. How I want to engage in things.

    Her response? Mostly positive, but amongst her other feelings she also in a first message reply to me, said she feels helpless amongst a vastly different political climate that leaves her feeling like we’re in mid 1930s germany.

    And she’s not wrong. I’m not even argueing her points. I’m just saying it’s a very telling sign of the times when a man messages a woman he doesn’t know and says “Hey, I’m lonely. If you’re lonely too, lets do kinky things together” and her response, while being completely valid, is “THE NAZIS HAVE TAKEN OVER MODERN DAY!!! EVERYTHING IS A DUMPSTER FIRE!!!”

    That is where we are today.
