“If a society puts half its children into short skirts and warns them not to move in ways that reveal their panties, while putting the other half into jeans and overalls and encouraging them to climb trees, play ball, and participate in other vigorous outdoor games; if later, during adolescence, the children who have been wearing trousers are urged to “eat like growing boys,” while the children in skirts are warned to watch their weight and not get fat; if the half in jeans runs around in sneakers or boots, while the half in skirts totters about on spike heels, then these two groups of people will be biologically as well as socially different. Their muscles will be different, as will their reflexes, posture, arms, legs and feet, hand-eye coordination, and so on. Similarly, people who spend eight hours a day in an office working at a typewriter or a visual display terminal will be biologically different from those who work on construction jobs. There is no way to sort the biological and social components that produce these differences. We cannot sort nature from nurture when we confront group differences in societies in which people from different races, classes, and sexes do not have equal access to resources and power, and therefore live in different environments. Sex-typed generalizations, such as that men are heavier, taller, or stronger than women, obscure the diversity among women and among men and the extensive overlaps between them… Most women and men fall within the same range of heights, weights, and strengths, three variables that depend a great deal on how we have grown up and live. We all know that first-generation Americans, on average, are taller than their immigrant parents and that men who do physical labor, on average, are stronger than male college professors. But we forget to look for the obvious reasons for differences when confronted with assertions like ‘Men are stronger than women.’ We should be asking: ‘Which men?’ and ‘What do they do?’ There may be biologically based average differences between women and men, but these are interwoven with a host of social differences from which we cannot disentangle them.”

I think he was more interested in smoking pipeweed. But that's ok.

I hope you and @gandalf-big-oos had a good time today. @loretta-dont-you-oppress-me

I honestly don’t know how Gandalf could possibly resist you. ♥️

[loretta-dont-you-oppress-me]

Hello, @gandalf-big-oos I am very happy to meet you again!

You're right - maybe I should swap my soulless cigarettes for home-grown pipe weed …

Good Morning My Lovelies!

After such a beautiful, sunshine week here, it’s now a chilly, rainy day. More like Spring normally is.

April showers and May flowers type of weather.

I’ve put the tall heaters outside on the patio, pulled out the softest, warmest blankets. We have couches to snuggle on.

Warm foods, hot cocoa, tea and coffee, along with warming alcohol.

Looking so forward to seeing everyone.

Please feel free to bring a friend. ♥️

Hi everyone … I'm sorry it took me so long. Who is this bong smoking elf, @amagnificentobsession? Seems to be a minor… I should take her to @shutanic-temple-orphanage ……

Oh, we must surely keep hedonism and whimsy as our cardinal virtues! We are Shuhites and have our very own compass. But you'll never convince me that I don't also recognise prudence, courage and a strong sense of justice in our beloved founder @bil-daddy. The latter has led him to rebel against many of Her decisions, decisions that seem very whimsical to me - such as the bet with Satan or the drowning of a whole civilization.

We, on the other hand, are capricious, because the word is derived from capra, the Latin word for goat...

Forever hedonists! Have a sensual

SHUTANIC SATURDAY!

p.s. I learnt most of these things from @uziraphale, who however didn't want to argue with you about "virtue" because he preferred to enjoy you hedonistically all night long ....

I approve.

Somebody asked for more Crowley in a dress and now this is the sluttiest thing I've ever done...

Zoom in for chest hair and details ✨️

[loretta-dont-you-oppress-me]

Yeah, like totally!

the idea of public restrooms as "women's spaces" continues to confound me. you know who I hope is in a public bathroom when I go in?? no one. I would prefer no one else be in the bathroom. and if someone else is in the bathroom I am going to ignore them as much as possible. I did not go into the bathroom to connect with other women. I went into the bathroom to piss and/or shit. it's a toilet's space, not a women's space. shut the fuck up and let trans people piss and shit in peace. let's all continue to avoid eye contact with each other and any and all interaction in the toilet's space.

Oh great founder of the @shutanictemple, let me as your loyal secretary and assistant defend my choice of words when it comes to VIRTUE:

The ancient Romans, not yet corrupted by the narrowing of virtue to chastity, used the Latin word virtus (derived from vir, their word for man*) to refer to all of the "excellent qualities of men, including physical strength, valorous conduct, and moral rectitude".

Three of the four cardinal virtues certainly apply to our beloved @bil-daddy himself:

Prudence (φρόνησις, phrónēsis; Latin: prudentia; also Wisdom, Sophia, sapientia), the ability to discern the appropriate course of action to be taken in a given situation at the appropriate time.

Fortitude (ἀνδρεία, andreía; Latin: fortitudo): also termed courage, forbearance, strength, endurance, and the ability to confront fear, uncertainty, and intimidation.

Temperance (σωφροσύνη, sōphrosýnē; Latin: temperantia): also known as restraint, the practice of self-control, abstention, discretion, and moderation tempering the appetition. Plato considered sōphrosynē, which may also be translated as sound-mindedness, to be the most important virtue.

Justice (δικαιοσύνη, dikaiosýnē; Latin: iustitia): also considered as fairness; the Greek word also having the meaning of righteousness.

*I certainly object to this narrowing down of the concept to MEN.

Yours truly, Loretta

I can relate.

In Japanese, they don’t say “moon,” they say “tsuki,” which literally translates to “moon,” and I think that’s how language works.

[loretta-dont-you-oppress-me]

This is ... amazing. [*blushes*] Those 00s are magnificent!

Oh yes, I do feel fireworks.

@angelo-rib-shack you are a great artist! Methinks you also feel what you paint.

@gandalf-big-oos I finally finished your commission!
