How fucking dare you accuse me of playing the rape card? Fuck you and the horse you came in on.

So let’s have totally mixed prison populations should we? Because there are zero reasons to have them if it’s going to go on gender lines rather than sex.

So rape survivor are special snowflakes are we? The comments on this article are Peak Jezebel.

In my area, some of the women’s restrooms have been changed to “All Gender” while the men’s restrooms are still “Men’s Room” - so transmen ARE peeing next to ciswomen and transwomen, nonbinary, etc. I personally don’t care but other people are pissed.

Frankly I don’t care about your beard and tattoo and new penis, as I’m not locked in a cell with you. However as a rape survivor I’m pretty sure I would be if I was locked in a cell with you for 23 hours a day. Sorry but that’s how it is.

Ooh a whole 30 mins Google search, well done you. You might be interested in these stats then... https://fairplayforwomen.com/transgender-prisoners/

I can see both sides here and while I sympathise for transwomen in this situation, it is being caused by the behaviour of natal men being violent and aggressive towards them, yet the solution is that vulnerable natal women are expected to shut up and move over despite feeling uncomfortable sharing facilities with…

I can’t star this enough. My wife said the best thing I did was ask her questions and give her follow up questions. She loved that I listened to her. Our first date was a coffee shop, but I agree museums are a big hit. Stay away from dinner dates until like the fourth date. Movies are fine after the first date, but go…

The advice I give to my friends that ask how I manage to talk to women is very, very simple. Treat them like a human being and don’t think act like they owe you anything.

“The roommate is meeting cool as shit girls.”

My rule is two-fold. The more someone talks about how good they are at sex, the less likely they are to be good at sex. And secondly, the more bizarre or offputting the slang is for the body part in question, the less likely the person using the slang has ever seen the real thing in person.

Art classes, yoga/gym classes, book clubs, co-ed rec leagues, community theater programs, professional development groups/programs, social clubs, based on the LW’s interests comic stores run events all the time, volunteer opportunities, etc.

You sound like someone with a happy life ahead of them.

I honestly don’t think those people deserve advice or articles about them. They clearly don’t want help and seem to get off on their own toxic loathing

His friend wasn’t trying to “get him to run a marathon before he learns how to jog.” His friends advice was, basically, “You don’t need to run to get your heart rate up! You can do a shit ton of meth instead!”

“You especially need to do things that actually bring you in contact with women you want to meet and hey, spoiler alert: they’re not in your apartment.”

The pieces just sort-of fell into place with the roommate’s situation. Out of a LTR? Revolving door of women? Toxic performative masculinity?

Man this was a depressing read. The insecurity and slight self-loathing can likely be sensed a mile away and that is the big turnoff. If you don’t like yourself nobody should be expected to like you back. Your advice was spot on he can’t change who he is but he can be a better version of yourself.

I’ll just say directly: it sounds like you would be better off with a random roommate or living in a shitty studio apartment than living with someone who is so obviously in an emotional and lifestyle rut.
