(11,804 posts)On the one hand liberals tend to be more accepting of diverging views on sexuality having a wider view of what's acceptable. Generally our attitude is that if it doesn't hurt anybody and is consensual than it's nobodys business. For many that's one of the ways we distinguish ourselves from our friends on the right; they want to tell everybody how and when they can have sex and we don't.
On the other hand we do generally oppose violence - I don't go as far as you do (I watch a fair amount of violent movies and television), but we are generally opposed to violence. There's also the problem of violence or the threat of violence used to control women (sometimes men, but usually women), which happens all over the world and is pretty awful.
I don't know - I guess the whole conversation makes me uncomfortable.
