Pregnancy is a risk of having sex, and there’s NO birth control method that’s 100% effective. But what part of taking responsibility for your own birth control do you not understand? Always *bring your own*. It’s not that hard. Stop relying on women to provide any sort of birth control.

but to repost: you’re literally…

All of this. I’ve always looked up to you as someone who is not afraid to be exactly who they are, and it’s fucking beautiful. that’s what i admire most. that realness, in everything. but you are inspiring. you’re deeply spiritual, you care for and take care of and support your family and your community, and you have…

oh my god i love you for writing this article. i love everything about it

I should also mention: we are all capable of (and often do!) exhibit narcissistic behavior, without actually dealing with NPD. Folks with NPD barely function. Unfortunately, society rewards men for exhibiting narcissistic behavior, so the behavior is common. 

men are more about sex than about love in regards to their needs, most of the time. as someone also divorced, they also have ways of being that are rooted in toxic masculinity: for example, not actually trying to communicate, but rather saying what others want to hear in order to get what they want. subtle…

That’s exactly what happens, in fact. It’s been studied and we know it. and that’s why most professionals will tell you the best way to deal with a narcissist in your life is to make and keep distance — get them out of your life. https://blogs.psychcentral.com/psychology-self/2018/07/narcissist-delusion/

When it comes to men, this is very very common. he’s also clearly unwilling to even consider another possibility, or another point of view. I mean that’s communication 101: you do need to acknowledge someone else’s experience. Generally when that happens, it’s malicious.

How would you even know?? Also, it doesn’t matter if there’s a history of it, it’s still gaslighting. 

MRROW thank you. This is so important! There’s lots of shouting into the void these days. I think a lot of people have no idea what actions they can take these days, and are also dealing with trauma symptoms so it’s difficult to think it through. <3 

You’re literally being told to take responsibility for your choices in regard to both who you choose to have sex with as well as making sure that YOU use protection, always. Your own. Don’t rely on womens’ birth control methods, those are for them. you are responsible. You bring it, you use it, regardless of whether…

Men can control it by always making sure they *always use* birth control/condoms, and not having sex if partner refuses. Taking charge of and ownership of that responsibility goes a long way. I know plenty of dudes who’ve gotten a vasectomy, and plenty of dudes who refuse to even go there because it’s an affront to…

most people are focused on getting through day to day life somehow while spending 40-60 hours making money for someone else, so numbing themselves when they get home from work and not engaging is common, especially now. But it’s been happening for years, and getting worse and worse while the haves (middle &…

mrrr and then the owner of course responded and soothed the poor racist’s feelings. https://www.ktnv.com/news/powerful-police-union-blasts-golden-knights-in-letter

meow this is why I still own a PS2. Because Katamari. 

This is gaslighting, by the way. He doesn’t honestly believe it, it’s just the story he created and he’s sticking to it. He can’t admit to his mistakes or acknowledge his hurtful actions, and I would recommend that if he can’t admit what actually happened and what you both experienced, he’s not worth keeping as a…

this guy didn’t wait until after his divorce to find someone. But also: when looking for a partner, it helps to be secure in singleness first <3

mrrrrrrr.
all I see are sociopaths, celebrating and reveling in violence, death, and the suffering of others. really really working hard to generate fear as a means of control. this includes on the Dem side. :(

have you ever experienced or tried to understand body dysmorphia and eating disorders? doesn’t sound like it. in which case I wouldn’t be inclined to take fitness advice from you. 

meow, it really isn’t! there’s lots of deviations in body fat percentage. we are a diverse global population with extremely diverse genetics. it is inanity to expect that everyone can “get in shape” the same way. I should also mention that the majority of our health standards are based on an adult white male. I’m a…

“I don’t know what to say about the state of society if we need to quantify tone to understand how we speak to others.” - most people aren’t mindful of what they’re speaking before they say it, or how they’re saying it, and feel no obligation to do so, but get mightily irked when they’re misunderstood. most people…
