A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

What do you have an issue with?
Well, even then, the differences between a paradigm of romance, and a state-supported power-structure... Are not just 'consent', now, are they?

Can any religious practice ever be done with consent?
Isn't it always under duress when an eternity of damnation and unending torment is at stake?
Sorry, holdover from catholic school. I should have specified: oppressive social movements couched in religion.
