“I was so busy maintaining the status quo that I forgot to remember that women matter.”

Another way to look at it is a form of norm enforcement. to speak super generally, many people feel that certain norms have been violated since this current administration came to power. Debate is not an effective tool because the offenders are not interested in hearing their opponents. Compromise is not possible…

It used to be that crashes and deaths caused by driving while drunk was just considered a part of the inherent risk of driving. People drive; people drink; sometimes bad things happen. Such is life. It took a concerted effort of pissed of moms of dead kids to say that conceptualization was fucked up and it’s not only…

Because primatology doesn’t back up the idea that the strongest, most aggressive, and violent males have the most reproductive success. And for that matter neither does anthropological studies on current hunter-gatherer societies. Evolutionary psychology is a scorned field because of people doing what you’re doing…

I read a comment re:incels that pointed out that many of the other groups of people who find themselves fuckless, see that the problem is discrimination, tradition gender roles, conventional ideas about what’s attractive ect. and they to change it as much as they can. Or, as you say, find their community. Whereas…

Could we maybe... not with this? Cause I do these things too (started eating way less; I now eat somewhere between 1350-1500 calories with under 80g of carbs and 100+g of protein; exercise 5 times a week by running 2-3 miles and lifting weights, and walk about 1-2 miles a day; I don’t drink alcohol at all) and haven’t…

The “work” means you don’t fucking elevate pieces of shit all the way to AG. The “work” means you clean house when you know what’s up. And I guarantee at least one person knew what was up who had the power to put someone else in Schneiderman’s position.

Oh, more “witch hunt” bullshit. And it’s incredibly telling, and depressingly predictable, how many of you guys pop up in these comments treating men who abuse like it’s some little pecadillo they shouldn’t have to face real-world consequences for, like cheating at paintball or something. Just admit you don’t care…

I blame the internet/video-games (of which I’m a rabid consumer of both). You can now spend days (years even!) inside, away from others, wasting your life away, finding virtual communities of like minded individuals where they all live in their echo-chamber circle jerk.

Wait, but do you have a boyfriend??

If we decide to be defeatists, we will be defeated. I know from seeing your posts the past few years that’s the kind of mentality you tend to take, but this still is in our hands. If we spread abject negativity about the people who support a majority of our causes, it demoralizes and disincentivizes the voting public,…

Thanks. I have never heard of this. I will definitely look into it. I appreciate you letting me know. She’s just asked me this week if she can start shaving her legs too.

Thanks for the support. Her father is also quite hairy and has an impressive pelt. He had a full beard in 9th grade.

I observe this cycle with people I know: chase toxic masculinity; get burned; re-evalute attraction, specifically, what people should find attractive about themselves; chase toxic masculinity . . . .

Hmmmm. He chooses partners based solely on their looks and ended up married to somebody who screwed him over. It’s almost as if these two things are somehow connected.

Is that pretty standard in dating? I don’t exactly see much variance away from that in any of the dating people I know.

God sometimes I’m like this whole internet thing was a huge fucking mistake.

I just made a burner only to star you because I read the same. Also: Fragrantica. Adore that site. I can spend an entire weekend reading it.

“My husband is addicted to something that’s stealing his time, making him curt and rude, and ruining our sex life.”

Fellow perfume nerd here. I didn’t know there was an online community!
