In short: sexual orientation in humans is <a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1467-6494.1993.tb01030.x\/abstract\" target=\"_blank\">less inborn than how hardworking you are<\/a>. Indeed, Spandrell admits as much, saying that we do not know the cause of gayness. Maybe because it\u2019s not inborn? Just saying.<\/p>\n<p>One must point out that the \u201cborn this way\u201d myth was invented by LGBT people to get people to accept us: \u201cwe can\u2019t help it! It is mean to hurt people because of something they can\u2019t help! Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s genetic, accepting us won\u2019t make anyone else gay!\u201d I don\u2019t fully understand what the Cathedral is, but if anything is part of the Cathedral the Human Rights Campaign is, and I feel like that is a fairly depressing amount of belief in the Cathedral\u2019s myths from a self-declared neoreactionary.<\/p>\n<p>Spandrell argues that female paraphiliacs do not exist because they do not usually tell researchers about being paraphiliacs. Unfortunately, he is missing the very large confounding variable, which is that women are fucking liars about sex. As I pointed out in my Anti-Heartiste FAQ, evidence suggests that the entire sexual partner gap between men and women is explicable by women being goddamned liars. There is no reason to believe they wouldn\u2019t also be goddamned liars about their paraphilias.<\/p>\n<p>Spandrell challenged me in his comment section \u2013 if female paraphilia is a thing  \u2013 to find cases of female death by autoerotic asphyxiation. It is true that women are less likely to die by autoerotic asphyxiation. However, <a href=\"http:\/\/fivethirtyeight.com\/datalab\/dear-mona-i-masturbate-more-than-once-a-day-am-i-normal\/\" target=\"_blank\">women are less likely than men to masturbate, and even when they do they masturbate less often than men do<\/a>, decreasing the risk of women dying through masturbation. However, this is self-report data and thus falls under the \u201cwomen are goddamned liars\u201d explanation. Autoerotic asphyxiation deaths are massively undercounted to begin with; it is relatively common for people who die by autoerotic asphyxiation to be mistaken for suicides or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/script\/main\/art.asp?articlekey=51776\" target=\"_blank\">\u201csanitized\u201d by family members who don\u2019t want to admit their child died by masturbation<\/a>. Given that women lie massively about sex, it is possible that families are more likely to sanitize female autoerotic asphyxiators. Finally, I hate to be the feminist who points this out to the neoreactionary, but men and women are different. This probably extends to sexual fetishes. I admit that none of these are particularly solid arguments. However, I do have reason to believe that women have things that may be considered paraphilias.<\/p>\n<p>Porn.<\/p>\n<p>The rise of the ebook has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/discrete-ebooks-have-unlocked-a-huge-erotic-fiction-market-2012-10\" target=\"_blank\">massively expanded the amount of porn that women read<\/a>. Like I said, women are fucking liars about sex. They want to read porn, but they don\u2019t want to admit that they want to read porn \u2013 and as plausibly deniable as Harlequins are, those Fabio covers make it look a little too much like porn for a lot of readers.<\/p>\n<p>Ozy Frantz, <a href=\"http:\/\/slatestarcodex.com\/2014\/09\/15\/ozy-a-response-to-spandrell\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;A Response to Spandrell&#8221;, <em>Slate Star Codex<\/em><\/a>, 2014-09-15.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; homosexuality is probably not inborn.
