Yup. Its farming is also encroaching on sensitive lands, it is also very water intensive, contributes a stunning amount of greenhouse gases, and most importantly, cows eat food that is grown unsustainably, doubling land use, when both areas of farmland could be used for human food crops.

Wait what? Extortion? He’s being fined, FFS.

The author of this piece bent over backwards to incorporate SSM’s perspective, but SSM’s personnel either ignored her or provided Orwellian responses. She posted a response from a follower in the comments. Aside from all that, though, journalists are not required to present two sides of an issue as equally valid of…

You know what’s great? You can have an amazing, fulfilling, supportive, equal, loving, passionate relationship without paying some other person hundreds a month to tell you what to say and do. If your boyfriend is really so amazing, and you really love each other so much, that’s all you need.

“Hot School” needs to teach you all how to write proper paragraphs as opposed to run-on stream-of-consiousness flows.

Nice ableist bullshit, you fucking parasite.

It doesn’t, you fucking ignorant shill!

Former SSM participant here. I can tell you that shit is CRAY! We would have small group sessions where “International” would ask us to explicitly detail our experiences masturbating (alone and with partners) and offer us feedback... I left very shortly after that.

“If women want to leave SSM then they can and they do and it’s supported. Unless a woman leaves all crazy-style and dramatically then it’s kinda like buh-bye good riddance, if you ask me! Some women leave that way and I feel like they’d have to be investing in some crazy crap in order to cut something off that has be…

tl;dr ramble about not being in cult proves person is in cult

I feel sorry for you that your definition of an “amazing” relationship is one in which you are perpetually a teenager. A quality man would want you to grow and develop, not babble vapidly like a high schooler. Because unless you die young, you’re not going to be hot forever.

“Sad, not-hot women.” Bwah ha ha. Count me among them.

International taught me that men like to help women and how to receive the help instead of get all awkward and shut it down how I use to. And International taught me how to tell a man how much I appreciate the help he offers me.

One thing International apparently hadn’t shared with his supporters is how to edit. Good grief.

I just want to point out that you started off by saying the women who say SSM is a cult are“fucking crazy” and then proceeded to write a 10 thousand word single paragraph incoherent ramble.

Here’s the thing: I wasn’t sure, based on the article, what to think at first. However, having read your comment here and others by people getting defensive and decrying this article, I am now 100% sure this is a cult.

And it looked like she married the guy so he could get citizenship in the country or something and he probably was paying her for it.

Protip: paragraph breaks will make it seem a bit less like you’re in a cult.

These harsh criticisms of ex-members don’t help your argument.

I want to know why all the women in this group who have written here all sound like valley girls.
