Like having to be constantly aware of when sign represents some seemingly unrelated essence, whether the user intends it or not.
See someone with a fedora and neck beard and it's supposed to mean they're misogynist.
My choice of masc or femme clothing sends a signal of my identity whether I want it to or not, and there's no such thing as a neutral base that sends no signal, like if I put no effort into it I still send a signal, I'm just unaware of what that signal is. Everything is this-coded or that-coded and to try to be not-coded is a statement rather than a lack of one. There's no such thing as a non-statement.
I just want to float through existence as a pure essence, interacting with other pure essences.
The survey results, which have been shared with Teen Vogue, include responses from 1,033 registered voters between the ages of 18-34. It was conducted between August 25 and September 1: 43% of respondents identify as male; 45% identify as female; 5% identify as trans; 6% identify as nonbinary or gender nonconforming, and 1% identify as other. (source)
Trans people disproportionately identified as "progressive", the most left wing option there was in the survey:
Just admit I’m a commie and 65% of dudes leave me alone!
Probably more like 85% - Living semi-rural in a historically conservative area suuuuuuck. And progressives tend to respect the nonverbal fuck off signals, so just a ton of conservative dickbags bothering..
Screaming and crying and throwing up and shaving my neck rn
But yeah idc that most women don't want to date a vegan/communist/etc. It's convenient for me since I don't want to date anyone who isn't. This way I don't have to do all of the filtering myself. I hate talking to someone, scheduling a date, and then learning that they are a squishy liberal who is presumably looking past politics because they like some other thing about me. I don't want you, you are wasting both our time. One time a girl literally dropped the r slur. Like did you read the bio or not? Jesus, people.
Meh, in my experience even conservative women will look past the whole 'communist' thing as long as you don't lead with it. That being said, conservative women tend to be pretty boring imo (in that they all follow the same trends) with the exception being those into athletics, which is a split between conservative women and lesbians (who are usually anti-communist progressive liberals), so they are an interesting demographic.
why is the hobbies thing more important than everything else?
I'm sorry I'm broke on a capitalist hellscape and can't afford a car, much less pay for some club dues or expensive gear to do some adrenaline junkie shit outside and just enjoying sitting inside playing video games and doing other online crap like reading (not books generally, unfortunately)
I hope this is just some shit The Kids™ care about, but I feel like being poor only weighs more heavily against me the older I get.
