if you think about sex as being (simplifying) two separate experiences, one by men and one by women, does second wave feminism sort of collapse? im not sure but I think a lot of it might

I've become more and more convinced that this is true and it always kind of bums me out that the moments spent in the presence of maximum intimacy are so experientially distinct between the participants. It really fucks with a lot of the mythology.

i think this is maybe good actually? or at least fine :) there's an extreme amount of sort of . . . gains from symmetry, and also of course there is a much older mythology that is affirming of this

I definitely need to get in touch with that mythology because I've always conceptualized sex as ideally a perfect meeting of equals and yeah, that's not a feature of the hereto version apparently.

Will check it out, thanks! All sex is probably somehow asymmetrical. It seems almost inescapable in hindsight, but I couldn't see it due to my own and my culture's overriding emphasis on equality as a virtue, and preferred to think of it as a "meeting of souls" or something.

i think unequal-in-some-ways but symmetrical souls can meet :)
