Romantic/Sexual Relationships are about People not Parts and Points

By The Disfactor
Romantic/Sexual Relationships are about people not parts or points; this is what pisses me off about members of the LGBT communities that pride themselves on engaging in the type of gun notching practices normally associated with straight high school and college boys attempting to prove their masculinity through entrapping unsuspecting girls in provocative situations that they may not be able to remove themselves from without besmirching their reputations. "I'll prove that he's gay, watch and see girl" When being honest about the practice of "bagging the straight" members of the LGBT community know exactly what I'm talking about. A member of the LGBT community proving that they're worth having by
finding various ways of luring a "straight, the oppressive heterosexual "other"" into a compromising sexual situation, or taking advantage of them when their under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

What all "baggers" straight or gay have in common is their inability to respect the lives of others as much as they desire that their own lives be respected; however it's the baggers' overwhelming insecurity in their desirability as individuals on multiple levels that push them into acts of bagging unsuspecting victims. According to author C. JoyBell C “There are those whose primary ability is to spin wheels of manipulation. It is their second skin and without these spinning wheels, they simply do not know how to function.” Marginalized Communities of otherness often mask their own dysfunctional behaviors by setting up both healthy and unhealthy individuals to take the heat for their inability to function appropriately in society with others due to their lack of internalized versus materialized self worth; this does not mean that all individuals of MCOs are highly dysfunctional game players, however those who are often get and bring unwanted attention to those members of they're communities that are quite healthy while creating divided loyalties, and internalized discord within their communities.

 Its quite possible that Sappho was facing this situation within various communities situated upon the Isle of Lesbos (The Swan) where she may have witnessed or been exposed to the harmful interactions of highly dysfunctional individuals that utilized their otherness (LGBT identity) to justify their inappropriate behaviors and actions towards others; thus it would be understandable that she fear lost of a highly functional and authentic lover due to such a lost placing her in a vulnerable position where she would have to seek out another suitable lover to replace the one she lost.

Notes on Adorning “Otherness”

By The Disfactor
Picture: By The Atlantic Disfactor art: By Jabram Allen According to David Shariatmadari off the  Guardian “We think we know what a gay person sounds like. But there   are caveats to the cliche — and ‘voice-shaming’ tells us a lot more about our culture than it does about the person speaking” According to Shariatmadari; “the research says probably not. There’s mountains of evidence to suggest we adapt our speech to more closely resemble that of people we identify with. The particular sounds a group of speakers makes use of are arbitrary. They acquire meaning and recognizability only through association. The fact that these changes are usually unconscious is well documented. But, linguistically speaking, sounding gay is really no different from sounding street, sounding posh or sounding like a bro”. In other words, groups develop, practice and telegraph those actions that set them apart from other groups so that they may be intentionally recognized by those that don’t belong to t

Why African-Americans left the south in droves — and what's bringing the...

It's important to realize the dates listed. It's through noticing these dates that we begin to realize that this country is not that far removed away from the root of those issues that African Americans still deal with. The 1970's was 48 years ago. Your dad could tell you about it if he was honest rather he was black or white. However; depending on which one he was there might be things he doesn't want to talk about or may not be proud of. It's that recent not that old.
