If we’re going to do a discourse about alienating jargon Democrats shouldn’t use - “cultural issues” seems to be a euphemism for the more direct “human rights.”

Took me this long to realise that "Meat packing plant" is a euphemism for what we still call an abattoir or slaughterhouse over here.

Victorian erotica knew something the genre keeps forgetting: the plain word is the precise word. Those texts name the body without euphemism and without the anatomy lesson, so the scene stays in the room. Modern kink fiction flinches one way or the other and loses the body. #shibari #chastity
