If humans had tails would women get told they should wag their tails more?
50/50 that or it gets sexualized and women are told to put it away
Or both at the same time. Why bother with consistency when there’s women to shame?
Oh you’re totally right. Dudes walking around with a hairless opossum tail and woman have to wrap that shit around their leg and sit on it all day long…
Is this what a closeted furry looks like?
I asked my roomie who is into cutesy furry stuff. He grimaced and said that some thoughts are best left unshared.
Neither of us are very fond of the idea of human tails.
Yeah but what are y’all’s fursonias. You could just be tailless furries.
His fursona is some sort of alien avian raptor thing made out of nitrogen or something.
I don’t have one as I’m only in it for the porn.
No tails either of you! Of course you don’t have tail envy like this dude does.
Is this what closeted looks like?
If humans had tails we’d have clothes to hide and possibly restrain them and it would somehow be rude to move it. It just fits the whole self loathing much of the western world had going on for the last few centuries.
Japan famous for their outgoing and expressive culture
And the middle east and their known long history of free expression.
There is probably a good reason we don’t - it evolved out because we seem to be benefited by hiding our emotions
Though the causal link might be the other way around - if we were better with dealing with expressed emotion we could have kept the tail
Could probably look at the taxonomy to see when we lost it and what happened to our tailed brethren
Or it has little to do with emotions at all and more to do with physical changes based on environment.
True, prehensile tails are super useful for swinging around in trees
Other apes lost their tail as well, but they don’t hide their emotions.
Do you have a source for that?
