I don't get why Kate Middleton is considered a style icon. I get the whole simply and classy thing and it works, but a good majority of what she wears ranges from lukewarm/boring to ugly and it's not really enough to be an icon. I'm not British so I don't know all of them, but I think the last time the royals had someone who could really dress was when they had princess Margaret.

relationships between cousins arent wrong or gross. first off, i was molested by a sibling as a child, so don't come at this and tell me i dont think incest is traumatic or i don't understand the harm. i do. nothing i'm going to say applies to FIRST DEGREE relatives, only cousins or further. second off, no, i am not interested in any of my cousins and i have never had sexual contact with any of them. with that being said:
>cousin relationships are wrong because there's a higher risk of birth defects
1. not really, the risk is only about 1.7% higher than normal.
2. we don't decide who can have children based on whether their children would be disabled. even when the risk is much, much higher and the disability is certain to be life ruining or life ending, we don't stop it. but 1.7% increase of risk for any slight disability is enough for it to be entirely wrong? lol ok
3. not all couples have children, there's always adoption, couples can go to genetic counselors and find out if there's any serious risk.
in conclusion, the likelihood of birth defects is highly exaggerated, and we don't control how people reproduce in any other situation so we shouldn't here.
>power imbalances will make these relationships exploitative
this is where it gets different from first degree relatives. if you're raised with someone you will never be able to have an equal, neutral relationship with them. there's a reason why people who have sexual contact with siblings or parents end up in therapy for the rest of their lives. so the prohibition on first degree incest makes sense. even if hypothetically there could be a one in a million situation where there would be no exploitation, 1. the risk of birth defects from first degree incest is literally 50% and 2. the greater good requires having a total ban on these relationships because again, 99.99999% of the time they ARE extremely harmful and traumatic.
now, compare this with cousins. you aren't raised with your cousins. you might see them only a few times a year. if you are in a situation where (for example) you have an older cousin in a position of power who molests their younger cousin, then that's wrong because of the age difference and abuse, not because they're cousins. "being cousins" is not enough to make 99% of cases abusive like "being siblings" or "being student and teacher" are. the power imbalance and opportunity for abuse is just not inherent in the cousin relationship, at least not to the extent where we need to have such a huge taboo against it.
>ewwwww sweet home alabama gross cousinfucker ahaha
at best, these jokes are 1. not arguments and 2. small minded. there are countries where more than 50% of marriages are between cousins. pick virtually any historical figure from before the last 200 years and there's a 99% their spouse was their cousin. the cousin relationship taboo is extremely new and very localized to western nations. it isn't based on the harm that these relationships cause in the form of disabilities, and it isn't based on the inherently exploitative nature of these relationships. it's based on literally nothing other than HURRR DURRR POOR PERSON HAVE SEX WITH COUSIN HURRRR. you can't change my mind but you can try.

>>1531619sucks to see women like this get dunked on because I worked as a glassy/bartender/door girl and the most catty and weird girls were the photographers and djs, never the floor staff or promo girls. promo girls were paid to be happy and lively and personable and PRETTY. most of the time they'd come and sneak into the door-booth with me, sit behind and chill with me until enough people were in/they were required for promo. we'd complain about men, life, feeling objectified (spray tans, hair/nail appointments, late night travel expenses etc., sexual harassment etc.)
these girls work hard, and they pay a lot to look good. and in my experience they are some of the sweetest people ever. if you're crying in a bathroom, guess who has your back? if you're vomiting, they're the ones passing glasses of water under the stall door. they deserve some credit.

>>1531834Betty Boop being based on Baby Esther is a misconception that stems from when Helen Kane sued Fleischer studio for copying her the court showed footage of Baby Esther to prove that Kane was not the only singer who sang in that baby voice and used boop sounds in her scat singing. Betty Boop is just a caricature of what was considered trendy/cute for young women to look like at the time so she has different elements from different female performers. If I do remember correctly Baby Esther was performing in Europe when all of this happened and there was very little recorded footage of her so Fleischer Studio only ripping her of in order to create Betty Boop is weird.
It's just one of those weird internet rumours that people cite as a fact if you look more into the situation you will discover that there is more nuance to it. There where cases where white artists stole from black artists and those cases deserves more attention but this one is just an internet urban legend

But regarding the whole "boop a doop" thing lots of women at the time were scatting and making baby sounds in their songs. Helen Kane used " Poop" instead of "Boop" and "Poo" there were many of voice actors who built Betty but Mae started forming who Betty was later.

>>1525298Since everyone apparently agreed on this, I would still like to say that having had only one brother, I would have preferred to have a larger family, especially sisters. I think it also has some playful or practical advantages growing up, of helping each other (in an idealized case, of course). I was very often bored in my youth and always wanted to play board games, card games or even multiplayer video games, but it would never happen. I assume having friends can also help with that, but I did not have many. I also have a small extended family with only one cousin and I envy large families in that regard. Recently I met an Asian woman who has a very large family and they all help each other with brothers, sisters, cousins, parents and grandparents. I'm sure there is some drama once in a while but it seems better than being almost alone to me, especially whenever you require assistance. On the other hand, this is somewhat related, but I am also envious of neighbourhoods where neighbours are supportive of each other and get along well. I lived in a neighbourhood for over 20 years without ever talking to a single neighbour.

I see a lot of communists and leftists on twitter, really romanticizing artwork and photographs of revolutionary women with a rifle in their hand and yes these images are really powerful, in some ways beautiful as well and inspiring in a lot of cases, but I think westerners really romanticize and fetishize these images, men especially "oh this is the type of woman I want" and there's never any consideration that the situation they were looking at should never be something aspire to really, historically women have went to war when there's no opportunity to leave, the nation is in dire straits and most of the proper soldiers are dead, something like that is actually really dark and I think men shouldn't have to do it either but they are better deposed to be doing that, it's just how biology shapes what we can do. If there was a war and I had a son and daughter, I'd be heartbroken if any of my children were conscripted but I'd rather my son go off to war then my daughter. It wouldn't be that I wouldn't love my future son it's just that I'd know he'd be more capable in a war.

>>1532542I disagree but one thing I will say is that certain radfems who are bring up that study of "sperm created from bone marrow will make men obsolete" are as delusion as troons who think womb implants are possible, the crux of this argument comes from one study from a decade back performed on rats, see bone marrow, can be differentiated into sperm LIKE cells, but the differentiation isn't fully complete. They're sperm-like, but they're not fully differentiated, meaning they're not fully differentiated functional sperm. and have no functionality, and no fertilization was performed.
see each egg and sperm gets a random set of half of the parent genome. So if you have the genome Aa Bb Cc, your gametes will have random genomes like Abc or ABC or aBc or abC… the offspring will get two randomly chosen halves it won't get the same combination the parent had….for example it might wind up with aa BB Cc.
so even it possible with large mammals, the odds of doubling up on nasty recessives would be be near impossible.

This will be a rant but it's been on my mind for a while. I know people will seethe but oh well!!
Koreaboos don't make sense to me. South Korea is so boring compared to China or Japan. The only interesting places are Gyeongbokgung (which would get old very fast if you visit more than once) and maybe Bukchon Hanok Village (there's a reason why 99% of the pictures from there are taken on same street). That's it, two landmarks. When American missionaries started working their magic in SK, the Koreans destroyed a ton of ancient shrines and temples because they associated it with Satanism.
As someone who traveled to both countries regularly, it really boggles my mind how Korea is so fucking popular, especially compared to Japan.
Korea is empty, superficial and cultureless. It's an American clone with Asian features. No striking architecture, history is utterly insignificant outside the Korean War, culture is nothing but plastic surgery, skincare products and shallow western sounding pop music. Even the food is more boring. Seriously, what do they have? Kimchi and fried chicken?
Japan on the other hand is strikingly beautiful, gorgeous castles as well as old traditional style buildings and homes but built with modern standards. Cool history with samurais, geisha, shrines around every corner, and deeply rooted authentic traditions. Going to Japan is like going to Greece or Egypt. You can just FEEL the deep rooted history there; whereas going to Korea is like going to America, it's just a country that cares about empty superficial bullshit and narcissism.

I’ve literally gone to the ER when I was left to care for a KITTEN (not even a bottle baby like a 6 month old kitten I just had to give dewormer to everyday for a few days) because I was so stressed out I didn’t sleep for multiple days and was crying and not eating. They triaged me immediately because my heart rate was like 200+ and did a bunch of tests and it all came back clear so they gave me IV Ativan and that finally lowered my heart rate enough to discharge me.

>>1534205No, just a fan. The basic point is vtubing is the only truly female dominated and female created culture where the males are just an appendage, and unlike in legacy media vtubing is highly professional, highly competitive, and meritocratic. A girl wins or loses based on her personality and effort, nothing more and nothing less. A good model helps but it won't save you. In Hollywood, Netflix and Western legacy media be it as writers or actresses the bar is non-existent. It's all nepotism and SJW's hiring other SJW's. Actresses are just mannish and unfeminine or just eye candy with tits that can't act, the writers are hacks who are both painfully uninteresting, unfunny and just plain fucked in the head, and most importantly the whole industry is just incestuous. There's no quality or effort there. It doesn't matter if we're talking cartoons or movies or whatever else. It's all just dead. There's nothing as cringe as female standup comedians for instance.
Because of anonymity vtubing allows the girl to be herself, to win or fail based on who she really is, and her IRL looks play no part in this. And she can't casting couch her way into being a success, or do the ''We went to the same school tee hee gimme a job'' grift etc. Women like Venti and generally women who shittalk vtubers are legit just angry it isn't enough to have a tits or a vagina to garner attention and money, or a diploma, or by sucking the right cock. They're angry because they've been utterly defeated by other women based purely on who they really are.
You can bitch and moan about Pippa, Gura, any and all vtubers and invoke any and all deities, moral systems, politics, whatever - it's all just a tool to try to bring the other girl down, the girl who tried, the girl who won, the girl who has what it takes. Vtubing is the ultimate equalizer and the ultimate battle ground. Nobody gets privileges, everyone starts on equal footing. And many women just can't deal with that because they've been told their entire lives that being physically there and having a pulse is enough for getting whatever she wants. The prettier the girl the greater this delusion. This doesn't work in vtubing because vtubing requires you to be an actual person. And many girls just can't deal with that.

>>1534276I'm sorry
nonnie but this is so pathetic and sad. Being an entertainer behind an avatar who more often than not panders to men, or men attracted to little children, does not signify any particular talent. Of course #notallvtubers, but at best they're just anime girl streamers and what they do isn't any deeper than that. Men are desperate and they'll attach themselves to any vtuber who gives them a crumb of attention, I've witnessed so many weeby dudes I met online through video games fall into the vtuber trap because they fit a perfect niche, a loli that talks with them kek. And guess what, all of them give me the same spiel you just did. They're so talented and cute and funny, they can sing and dance and entertain for hours, how inspiring and amazing!
I don't blame the girls for hustling, just how I don't blame the streamers but neither is really impressive or worthy being jealous of, aside from the small percentage that makes good money out of it. This is nothing worth aspiring to, there's so many professions, trades and art forms I'd find myself being jealous of for not being able to do before even considering being jealous of a vtuber. I'm not denying it takes certain skills to be one as is the case for any calling on the planet but it's a far cry from vtubers being the most talented women ever.

This will piss off lurking moids to high heaven
I find western women the most beautiful out of all the other nationalities
Anyway because I know someone's gonna say it
>BuT fAtTiEs
Kek many European, African and even some Asian and south American countries and catching right up to Americans obesity rate if not surpassing it already. America isn't even in the top 10-15 anymore and most of the obesity is from old people anyway
Here's some reasons
>American women are so much more diverse. If you ask an American to pick out some of the most beautiful women in their area, unless they have a very specific preference, they'll likely choose beautiful black women, beautiful white women with all sorts of diverse features, beautiful latinas or Asians and so on. If you ask people in most other countries to pick out beauties they'll likely just pick a bunch of copy and pastes
>America or western countries in general has some of the most hands down diverse personality types I've ever seen. You can find women who like to party, you can find women who'd rather stay inside and paint or garden, you can even find outdoorsy women who'd rather build a cabin. Too many western men are brainwashed to hate their own women so they don't truly appreciate the diversity the west has to offer, and then they go to Japan or some other country moids go to coom and are surprised and disappointed all girls there are very similar
>Western women typically groom themselves better
>I feel like westerners focus much more are actual facial features instead of just skin, hair or eye color, this leads to them picking more flattering things instead of bleaching the fuck out of their skin, frying their hair or putting some creepy Chinese knock off eye contacts in
>Better teeth, which can really make someone look put together
>I find typically 20s-40s American women are more likely to work out in a way that flatters their body type, where as a lot of countries women will just starve and get breast implants and hope for the best or insane looking bolted on bbl diaper asses and retardedly large lopsided breast implants (racebait)

That's how world works when you look at it through misogynistic lens. And btw, moids from Eastern European countries or Russia don't respect their women for being less "available", they hate it that they have to put some effort, call these women prostitutes, and go to actual prostitutes.

I love macaroni milk soup and kissell tho I have to admit I'm a sicko who looooves milk skin so idk what my opinion on that is even worth. For kissell there isn't really a recipe since it depends on what fruit you use and how thick you want it to be BUT if you don't like the sliminess then put in more fruit and that way you won't have to use as much potato starch to make it thicker. A classic red kissell with berries is good but I really like rhubarb+strawberry as well since it's not too sweet.

Also the type of Russian scrotes I'm talking about doesn't prefer "easy" women, they just want to have all at once like any other stupid scrote: have lots of sex without any effort, have
guaranteed sex in case of the smallest effort, and date totally pure but somehow sexually experienced virgin that'll do anything they want in bed. They go to actual prostitutes because they think they're "at least more honest." Despite not getting free sex, they still think they're surrounded by whores. And there've always been stereotypes about Eastern European women being prostitues too, they'd be called natashkas and so on. Russian moids just seethe that Russian women are allegedly more willing to "give" free sex to men of color or other nationalities. Whatever you do, you'll always be objectified and demonized by some retarded moids. It just seems to me sometimes that some anons here internalized moidy worldview based on viewing women as objects and sex as something that's inherently degrading for women. The fact that some scrotes perceive it like that doesn't make it objective reality.

It's also why those stupid girls who date Korean, Arabic or other guys from different cultures always get dumped when it's time for him to marry even though up to that point, the American girls argue that the man loved them more because they're better than arabic/asian/etc women. I've seen so many American women do this, date a guy from another country, look down on women who are from his country and then realize that they just got used and he tricked them for easy sex.
Having sex isn't anything to be ashamed of, getting used by men for sex is though. It's like a man spending money on his gf or getting used for his money, there's a difference and anyone who's stupid enough to get used should be embarrassed

Also I went without weed for like 3 days and I could not keep food down without vomiting to the point where I thought I was pregnant. And don’t get me started on the headaches and racing thoughts that won’t go away at night. Coffee the most it ever did whenever I would stop is make me irritable during the day at work and tired.

The difference between men who claim the "rough sex" defense after murdering women and Sarah is that men generally aren't stupid enough to record themselves doing it and leak their own evidence of premeditation to authorities. Sarah was such a fucking drunk that she used her personal smartphone to record (mistake #1) and then fucking forgot that she had even recorded (mistake #2) and then sung like a canary to investigators without a lawyer (mistake #3).
Btw I 100% believe she was abused and she wanted that scrote dead. I don't blame her for those feelings because fuck abusers and that fact explains her cold indifference in the video. Our "justice" system, however, is tough on dumb criminals who get caught.
Jodi Arias did the same dumb shit. Caught on store surveillance buying gas cans and took pictures with Alexander's digital camera that showed premeditation and placed her in proximity to his house during the timeframe of the murder.
These women relied too much on having a sympathetic jury who will care about their abuse and self-defense claims in spite of the evidence. Society doesn't even care about our abuse when we are innocent and our abusers are free roaming the earth! Don't play stupid games.

She's wearing a lot of suits now too. It's like her team realized they were making a mistake trying to visually prepare the public for being queen when she still won't be queen for a long time.

The tabloids were so cruel to her for no reason and nitpicked her more than they ever did for Meghan. Kate never gave the tabloids additional fuel for their vitriol and kept her head down. It must've been hard to be the first one to "bag" the princes; she got the full brunt of being criticized for not being good enough for a prince. She deserved to be "pitied" so much more than Meghan for how people criticized her whole being but never once did she pull the "woe is me" card like Meghan did. At the bare minimum she should be respected for being sensible (at least on the outside) and not contributing to the vulture tabloid system like Meghan did. I don't care about the royals' reputation at all, but Kate's handling of the press was a great example of not giving in to the standards that tie all of us down.
I'm glad it seems like she's exploring her style a little more, but if she wants to dress modestly and maybe a little matronly? WHO CARES. Good on her for not giving in to the whole carnival.

Secondly, I care because I like fashion and many people also care about how she dresses. Kate's fashion is perhaps the most notable thing about her. She's considered a style icon and whenever you see anyone or anything talking about her, somehow someway her clothes will most likely come up. I'm pretty certain that she and her team know this and also care a lot about how she dresses and what message her clothes portray. It is important to her image.

I’m surprised about the amount of people thinking this kid is acting like a narc or that what the dad did isn’t ‘problematic’. Like, tf are you giving a teen alcohol for? Especially since ppl in the tags are like ‘well my parents let me drink when I was 10 and I turned out fine’ or ‘we’ll it’s legal where I live so idgaf’ since there’s strong evidence to suggest that starting drinking at a young age, especially before the age of 15, is associated with alcoholism in adulthood
Maybe it’s because I grew up in an environment where literally nobody would drink outside of working class white British people or Eastern European immigrants that would act trashy af so I just kind of think getting drunk as being a gross thing. From my pov parents giving teens alcohol is either a ‘white upper-middle class leftist parent who desperately wants to be the ‘cool mom/dad’ ‘ or ‘poor people on government benefits acting like bad, trashy parents’

The dad probably feels guilty that his son turned into a tranny and feels responsible somehow, like maybe he wasn't around often enough. So in an attempt to bond and break the ice "man to man" or whatever moids do, he offered him either a sip or a single can of beer after dinner while talking.
When I was a teenager my parents who NEVER drink allowed me to try a sip of wine at dinner once, I hated the taste and didn't have more but I felt very "grown up" and happy that my parents thought I was mature enough to taste it, kek.

>>1539121Confidence is definitely the key, I think. I'm what most people would consider ugly, fat and plain, but I have worked on myself to the point that I have a neutral relationship to my looks and know that being unattractive doesn't define who I am. I find that once I got to this point, my overall happiness and attitude changed and I have an easy time getting along with and befriending people.
Pretty people are more confident in general which is probably why they are also more pleasant on average, but I firmly believe that having confidence is what really matters and most people will be drawn towards your personality and not your looks. In my experience the ones who treat me like crap for my looks are moids, anyway, and I'm lucky enough that I don't care about their opinions.
No. 1539211
I don't think this is an unpopular opinion in general, but it may or may not be considered unpopular on lolcow. I think being in a romantic relationship can be a valuable learning experience in and of itself, even if you are a boring hetero who has to settle for a moid, provided he's a half decent one.
I was a late bloomer with some level of arrested development and didn’t get my first bf before I was 25. We stayed together for five years and I grew tremendously as a person during that time. He suffered from some of the normal scrote tendencies like inflated ego, but I still learned many valuable life experiences. Being with him provided me with a safe and loving environment to discover myself, becoming more at ease with myself, and getting better at interpersonal relationships, for example asserting boundaries but also respecting his. It also made me more aware of what to look for in future partners and where I'm willing to compromise. Maybe achieving these skills could be possible being single too, but in my case I probably would still have struggled a lot socially if he hadn’t been my rock for those years. In the end our relationship went south and it was the best for both of us to split, but I am still grateful for the time we had together and look back at it fondly.
I think human beings are evolved to be social. I don't want children, so I wouldn’t mind remaining single now for the remainder of my life granted that I have a strong social network to substitute for a partner, but I don’t think friendships can fully provide some of the things you learn through having had a romantic relationship with someone. I recommend trying it at least once.

I think self improvement alone is def possible to some extent, but I also think as social beings we are dependent on feedback from each other in order to grow.

And how since he’s not a virgin it’s not fair to make him wait so long.
I gave in. His dick was too shrimpy to break my hymen in missionary, he accused me of lying about my virginity and then told me I should start saving for a labiaplasty cause my “pussy looks perpetually beaten up” - he did break my hymen when we had sex again doggystyle, and thats when he came clean that he was a virgin too and he sobbed and said he was sorry for lying. But never apologized for basically telling me my vulva is disgusting and deformed and never apologized for manipulating a minor into sex aka raping me.

I feel very little sympathy for detransitioners.
People who tend to become trannies already have narcissistic attention seeking tendencies in the first place, and although they are no longer trans, detransitioners retain those tendencies, which is why so many detransitioners fall down the troon-to-conservative grifter/tradwife/religious pipeline instead of just becoming normal human beings. Also, if you willingly choose to take a hormone that is known to make you bald and infertile and then you get upset that it made you bald and infertile, it’s not society’s fault that you didn’t read the fine print.

nonnie, a lot of the most successful comedians have serious mental health issues. Look up the sad clown paradox. Although I definitely agree that there are symptoms of poor mental health that can make it impossible to be funny (I experience that myself). I do think it's a skill that you learn and aren't born with, and growing up in an environment where you can practice the skill makes you way more funny, like having at least one parent with a good sense of humor. But you do have to have innate intelligence as well. I think I read that a lot of comedians grow up in a difficult environment and learn to use humor as a coping mechanism.

No. 1545380
>>1545372Yeah, you sound insecure as hell tbh. Only a woman with low self-esteem is going to feel actually flattered and validated from getting attention from a drunk horny bar scrote who may or may not live in his mom's basement. I could understand a young (18-23) woman getting excited if a scrote hit on her and bought her drinks at the bar
ive been that dummy, but once you go out often enough or just grow up and experience life you realize it's a very low bar. And also if you go out often enough there's a chance you or your friends have accepted a drink and got roofied, so now you're actually scared to accept drinks from bar scrotes.
It's your choice to befriend whoever you want too, but your reasoning is shallow and insecure and honestly I'm starting to feel bad you didn't grow out of that phase.
No. 1545382
>>1545378Yeah, they'll be
okay with it. But you're missing a few key points.
A. Most bar scrotes are not the ones who start respectful conversations. Most of them think buying you a drink means you have to suck his dick in the parking lot, and will act accordingly.
B. Most dudes hitting on chicks in bars are not decent looking or decent men. Like I said, they're the social rejects looking on someone drunk and insecure for their next lay.
C. Even men know that the woman you met in the bar is 9/10 not the woman you're going to take seriously. Therefore, the likelihood of a bar scrote having civil conversation with you is slim to none.
D. Most straight women will be
okay with it. Just like most straight women will be
okay if no one talks to her at the bar. Because they didn't go with the intention of getting scrote attention. They're there to have fun with their friends.
No. 1545388
>>1545386It
should be. But immature grown women exist and I guess I should have phrased it like that. A mature in the mind woman will not give two shits if random moids approach them with the intent to stick their dicks in a warm hole. That's all men buying you drinks at a bar amounts too and usually once you turn 25 you start to realize that.
>>1545383That's why I think it's pathetic to care and want to feel desired by these types. They're 8/10 scum who'd fuck a big Mac if he got horny enough. His validation is actually worthless and a mature woman would recognize that. If you need a quick fix of validation you're better off downloading a dating app to watch the likes and matches go up. It's much safer and you don't even have to reply.

Anyway for a boost just download tinder. You're obviously hungry for male attention even though you won't admit it since you wouldn't get so traumatized over your friends getting approached by men if that wasn't the issue. You'll see that you get the similar amount of attention on dating apps and it'll probably fix your insecurities a little. Delete the app later.

A lot of them are less bitter and more pleasant to be around than any of us, and they can (and want to) also talk about things that don't involve men or troons. Women are much more than their relationships to men, reducing them to just that is pretty misogynistic.
Also plenty of normie women accept criticism towards moids and even join in if it's more subtle than "all men are rapists". You have to understand that they're just not used to hearing those things so saying that to them all of a sudden is going to make them see you as an unstable psycho.

Most normie women find the average dude annoying, but they have male friends and family members they like, and most women are hetrosexual so they won't go all /2X/ like some of our more NEET friends here will.

It's not unique to LC or radfem Twitter, y'all just actually need to go outside and interact with women who actually like you.

And visiting lolcow too frequently does definitely make you find certain things about normies more irritating than usual. It can make you more and more bitter towards them to the point that you won't even be able to interact with people in real life anymore because farmers won't shut up about how everything normies do is stupid. In other words, you adopt this dumbass black-and-white, paranoid, neurotic mentality and become ridiculously intolerant to relatively harmless things that no sane person would ever pay that much attention to.

I kinda get it though, I also refuse to befriend certain types of women. It has nothing to do with male attention (I am gay), some of them just act like they would've bullied me in high school and use their looks/popularity to get what they want.
It's not who you may think, 'hot' high maintenance girls are usually very sweet and will stick up for other women. But I run the other way when I see uwu egirl types and 'dorky' nerds whose entire personality are their quirky interests. Like clockwork, they always turn out to be extra conniving and will throw you under the bus for a crumb of male attention. Any girl who tries hard to be adorable ends up being a snake.

meeting new people during dating is more fun than dating a scrote for a long period of time unless he is hot, good at sex, rich and generous. that is hard to find. meanwhile during dating new men, you could have one very expensive cool date with a rich guy, a blissfully passionate night with a himbo, a potential romance blooming with a hot guy who has a life that inspires you, and none of them feel like deadweight, sucking the life out of you. every relationship eventually ends with the scrote sulking when you don't "give him" sex, him getting bored when you stop doing your makeup and hair, and at very worst the revelation of his shitty nonsupportive slut of a nature when you go through a hard time (death, depression, accident) and find out he has been thirsting over photoshopped models, his workmates, his friend's cousin, his ex from 2 years ago, random porn star, twitch thot, etc.

The Whale was not good. I am the fraserfag who posted detailed erotica of myself fantasizing about him and my hand to prove I wasn’t a Scrote cause I said he has a theoretically yummy duck. I have a shrine of 90s Brendan but I thought the movie was really just predictable and had loose ends not tied up. Brendan has such sad, innocent eyes and I want to hug him so bad. Yeah it was sad but it was really melodramatic like I mean of course I’ll pity the fat dude about to die. Also I would do a 3 way with Brendan and his non autist sons. The redhead is sexy.

Considering the fact that she could afford (and continue affording, for the rest of her life) to throw her career away and become a methhead or something right after she saw all of her fans get murdered - she looks pretty good, considering she could’ve just killed herself or gone totally off the rails after. However I saw this picture under a post about Ariana grande looking old for her age, and this made me laugh my ass off because I love JK rowling but that’s not even a recent photo of her kek. She’s beautiful, but she looks like an almost 60 year old woman.

>>1548155I hate this stupid picture because it implies that ugly people are that way because they deserve it. There's a few spergs on lolcow that keep insisting how ugly/unconventional people (not just in looks but also fashion) are awful and deserve to be hated when that's not even the case.
Roald Dahl himself didn't look particularly bad or mean but he was still an awful piece of shit, which disproves his own kindergarten science theory. There's uggos, fatties, trannies etc of all sorts out there that may look off but aren't bad people, and oodles of conventionally attractive 'Stacies' (lol) who are really fucking disturbed and sadistic, this site hosting a good deal of them. You can be ugly and insecure without being mean, and you can be pretty and popular while still being a vile human being. Narcissists are scientifically more likely to be charming and popular so this dumbass opinion holds zero truth.

>>1548125Did you read my post? Our brains aren't built to handle all this constant stimulation. We're bombarded with information all day, every day, and we're always being told we need to work harder and do more. It's like this whole culture is designed around this idea that we always need to be grinding and pushing ourselves to the limit. But the truth is, a lot of that pressure comes from the patriarchy, and the way society forces women to conform to these impossible standards of success. It's like, "sure, we're supposed to be equal to men, but we're not getting the same support and opportunities they are and It's nonsense - this whole "grind culture" is
toxic for everyone, natural human instincts don't align with this artificial rat-race.

>>1548425I've read so many psychology books, it must be in the 100s now, those aimed at the general population and practicing psychologists, and honestly it's nearly all useless. If I read the biographies of these great men with such a great understanding of human psychology and how x or y affect us it always turns out they couldn't even help themselves and destroy the psyche of their wives and kids. There's the ones everyone knows like Freud and Jung (he didn't even know which kids are from his wife and which from his mistress or what their names were) and more recently I read the biography of R.D Laing written by his son, i used to think his writings are so good but he couldn't even help himself or control his ego enough to not fuck up and abandon his family.
I've never found therapy helpful, changing my environment and habits, diet etc works to some extent, but talking to the average psychologist is a waste of time, the field attracts the most fucked up people that are somehow blind to their own issues

I can't say this without sounding like a pickme but I do not understand the retarded reddit-humor-tier obsession with dress pockets. The gaping waist holes look bad from the outside, they ruin the skirt silhouette from the inside, and worst of all, what the fuck are you putting in there? If it's something as heavy as a phone, it'll drag down one entire side of your garment. Why not just get a wristlet or something?
The only excuse I can possibly see for this is people who are socially anxious and need to stuff their hands in their pockets (in which case find a better coping mechanism tbh) or people with medical devices that need to be kept near.

>For radfems to just completely disregard these women's rights to legal and safe work.We’re not the ones denying them that, the nature of prostitution is. There will never be ‘safe’ prostitution, so long as there are men wanting sex for money, women will be abused, trafficked and raped to fulfil that want, legal prostitution does nothing to curb sex trafficking. We should work towards abolishing prostitution altogether, it isn’t going to be an easy thing to do and it likely won’t happen in our lifetimes, but anything is better than throwing up our hands and not doing anything at all.
>I don't think a lot of the SWERFs I see ranting have actually spoken to a single sex worker their whole lives.Most ‘sex workers’ (useless term btw) don’t actually have sex with men for money, they sell nude pictures of themselves online. They have nothing in common with the average prostitute that ‘works’ in a brothel or on the streets; so no, I’m not going to listen to what they have to say. I’m not going to put the hurt feelings of ‘sex workers’ over the physical safety and dignity of prostituted women.

>>1548875Sex work proliferation is definitely a unbridled capitalism thing. It's not that there wasn't any prostitution at all in communism, it's just that it was recognised as inherently exploitative.
As an oldfag who grew up learning about Marxist feminism I find myself disagreeing with both libfems and radfems as neither take into account the huge role of capitalism and class.
The libfems straightforwardly play into the hands of the capitalists, the radfems do too but not so straightforwardly.
Radfems are deep into identity politics, which just serves to extinguish class consciousness and insert strife among the working class. Notice when identity politics stuff began appearing - just after Occupy Wall Street. It keeps blacks fighting whites, women fighting men, cis fighting trans, label A fighting label B. Too busy fighting each other to go after Wall Street now.

>>1548875Most women caught up in prostitution want to exit it, but face too many difficulties. They don't want or need it to stay "but without the stigma/discrimination", they literally want out. They're stuck in the sense that they can't leave, not that they just don't want to go because "muh individualism". Ideally, the Nordic Model would peter down the demand for prostitution as supply decreases, and would come with good exiting programs. In the School for Justice, prostituted girls in India are taught to become lawyers, for example, but different career paths should be made available. That's the solution IMO. Prostitution can never be "safe". When it's legalized, trafficking has actually been shown to increase in countries.
The "sex workers" telling you "It's all the stigma!" are the sorts of privileged women who
do have options, they just don't want them, and think it's their right to talk over women who are struggling. They are an extreme minority.
