Because if they were in advanced adulthood and converted I would try to talk them out of it to a point before I'd just have to wash my hands of the responsibility. If they were young adults, or adolescent and converted to islam I would feel that I had completely failed them as a father.

agreed

I find it really interesting how there’s a growing number of white westerners, particularly women, converting to Islam.

Dat patriarchy

it's because Islam offers the sort of thing Christianity offered in the past

in terms of community and family stability

voted

Included in the stability is expecting to be beaten senseless by your husband eh?

I mean

"it's just part of his culture, it's not a big deal"

Also a lot of women have abuse fantasies

cmm

if I believed in Islam I wouldn't be protestant

50 Shades is popular for a reason

^

O O F

true

I mean, 50 Shades became popular in what is essentially an age of feminism

50 Shades is just a really shitty version of a fairly common set of kinks

ugh

I seem to remember seeing that dating site data revealed that there was a significant intersection between people who listed feminism as one of their interests and BDSM

can't find it now though

a book for people too sofisticated to watch porn

Oh I've definitely noticed that

that is all 50 shades is

Also erotica has existed for ages my dude

A book for people who think they're too sophisticated to watch porn maybe.

50 Shades is.. Like the McDonalds of literary smut

I'd say it was more KFC

I wouldn't know

I think BDSM culture grew out of feminism. Since the huuuuge push for women to be dominant and aggressive in society (work place etc etc), they in private long to be dominated instead

that's some 4D chess

Then explain the popularity of femdom

I think it has more to do with maledom being considered vanilla.

cucks

A lot of young women will say they want a kind, gentle, sensitive and caring man, but if they have the opportunity to enter a relationship with the hyper-masculine highschool football quarterback jock then fugetaboutit.

The truth is that women are not attracted to soy boys, and if they are it's for reasons that aren't healthy in a relationship such as effeminate men being more likely to be manipulated and cajoled in to submission. (in general. Ladies I'm not talking about you personally)

big fax

I mean there's a fine line between being dominated and being actually degraded. Women in the BDSM community seem to want the latter

true

Men are like coffee. Everyone says they want something rich and black but really they want something sweet and creamy.
