Reminds me of this Baldwin quote:
"The paradox of education is precisely this - that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated."

Once again, it turns out that "run the country like a business" means "run the country like a dictatorship."
This, in turn, reveals how much despotism we take for granted in the economy. Capitalism has accustomed us to authoritarianism. Now our political institutions are catching up.

So, saying something that might be obvious, but bears some commentary:
Part of what makes sex-positive feminist discourse tricky is that it's one of those terms that rolls a lot of related (but not identical) positions into one word. Within it, I find three positions:
1. An advocation against things like slut-shaming and other aspects of sexual shame, specifically those targeting women
2. An advocation in favor of normalizing things like sex work
3. A rejection of the radical feminist assertion that hetero-sexual relations (at least, in our current society) are inherently oppressive
Anyway, I think part of where the challenge of this term is that different strands of feminism react to the different elements in different ways. I don't think a radfem disagrees with all the points, but they don't agree with the same ones a liberal feminist does, nor a Marxist, nor an anarcha-feminist or any other strand. I, for one, am pretty in favor of the first two, but am a touch more uncertain as to how I feel regarding the third, in that a lot of heteronormative tropes require unlearning to have healthy relationships imo.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's one of those things where people could benefit from being a bit more explicit about which aspects of it they're discussing
Then again, it's also helpful to identify with a movement, so Β―\_(γ)_/Β―

The original rainbow pride flags were made by Gilbert Baker in 1979, in remembrance of the Stonewall Riots against cops who killed a trans woman.
They chose the rainbow because, among other reasons, it's so bright and easy to see that they couldn't be ignored.
Harvey Milk, the influencial civil rights leader who commissioned the flag, was assassinated by cops 5 months after it was first flown, cementing its position as an anti-cop symbol.
We keep forgetting that not everyone thinks of it this way.
Never forget your roots.
When we say "Pride was a riot", this is what we mean. ACAB is queer roots.
Pride is anti-cop.
