Anonymous asked: Some question the usage of words referring to sexual acts to express distress: "This sucks [dick];" "I'm screwed; "I'm fucked;" etc. I don't know the history of these words, but I'd wager they're couched in hegemonic masculinity; i.e. although men often tell women that these acts are meant to be pleasurable, their slang usage suggests that, while...
