Never ceases to amaze me when dudes denigrate those who give head. But as long as straight dudes aren't being mocked it's all good!

or a measure of great oppression. I don't see how Donald Trump degrading Sean Spicer through somewhat forced oral intercourse is an image the invokes any overt themes of sexism or homophobia within the context of the post itself. Perhaps the connotations or gender bias the reader may have towards the act of giving a male oral intercourse would portray a degree of sexism, but context and TPO is key. Neither do I see any homophobia. Sean Spicer may fellate Donald Trump without it being indicative of their sexuality. It isn't about their romantic feelings, and the imagery is not appalling because they are two men, the imagery is appalling because of the control and domination over a person's mind and body that the act of forced oral intercourse represents.

Out an insult toward gay men or women's sexuality. It's slut shaming basically a put down of women and gay men for not being "dominant" like the man who uses it an an insult. How is that not obvious?

Stop and think about it - there are no "great" names we give women and gay men for performing oral sex. They're all negative and used as put downs- are actually considered some of the worst put downs. There is no "woke" usage of them.

So I guess it depends on the user. A frat guy using the colloquial "suck my dick" and a genuinely woke person using the colloquial "suck my dick" can take on two completely different pejoratives (largely depending on the tpo as well). Within the context of a community like DU its blade is dulled; although lazy writing, effectively harmless.

And as long as oral is forced, it's never good, so the depiction isn't degrading women and gays who consent to giving oral at all. You'd have a case if Sean Spicer was felating Trump willingly, but he clearly is not.

So, THAT'S the context. Men turned it into a slur to denigrate women and gay men and reinforce their dominance over both. I'm sure people who think they're "woke" have used it on college campuses, because they're in the majority and young kids know they need to go along to get along. Doesn't mean it isn't denigrating, or should be tolerated among progressives.

on air?! Women know to do this after they've applied lipstick -- Spicer should know to either check a mirror quickly or to have someone check to make sure he doesn't have food stuck in his teeth -- pretty basic stuff for the White House spokesperson. But it figures that they would fail at this just like everything else!

from the funny people in the world-- I'm talking about SNL's writers, comedians, and other smart folks who prod and make fun of this incompetent administration.

Let's not laugh at them at all.

Let's be serious about putting sticks up each other's asses instead.

That could be anyone and has nothing to do with the very serious situation we're in.
Spicer doesn't need to be humiliated any more than he already is by being Trump's
message boy.

Seriously. Amazing, isn't it?? If it were anyone else, someone might have motioned to him/her to get that food out of your teeth. But it seems as though they all just sat there. Kind of passive aggressive!! Love it!
