On another topic, I can't stand to hear this shit for the opposite reason.
It hurts my stomach and soul to hear of piece of shit assholes like that Kyle dude. I literally can't stand it.
I was right in the middle of a school shooting just last year and people died.
I hate this, it feels the same all over again. I just wish we could fucking reform or do something. People should be allowed to protest without worrying about cop interference. That's the point of a protest. But of course even people that protest civilly deal with police fuckery.
Anyways,

>>616453I'm also from a non-Western country dealing with extremists and constant violence, especially against women, and that feeling isn't really new.

I did stop supporting BLM or paying attention to them after I noticed the patterns of who they support vs who they ignore/silence, but that doesn't mean I think the plight of people (especially women and children) facing violence is irrelevant.

>>616413I’m not going to say a single thing about race because I really don’t want to even do that here in the first place, but there’s undeniably a huge problem with police brutality here. On top of that police are un/underqualified, barely trained, etc.
Several months ago I was visiting my gfs parents in their city and we saw a cop hit a pregnant woman at night with his car. Everyone around could hear her screaming, I’ve never heard anything like it in my life and I will never forget the way it sounded. She and her unborn child died in the ambulance. This man was a veteran officer and we were never given a clear reason why it happened, and even if you want to ignore the racial aspect, at least acknowledge the negligence and how it’s hurting so many of us. That man still has his job, and so do many irresponsible, negligent, and violent individuals that get off on harming people and being in control. This should not be happening in a supposedly “sophisticated” country and could be completely avoided.

>>616413I dislike it too. I'm not claiming that I have it harder but the notion that nobody is allowed to complain because b-but black folks in the US!…
My country is also pathetic enough to copy everything the US does. Black people in America complain about lack of representation, so my country does that too now (funnily enough until not that long ago I thought America is 50% white - 50% black, turns out it's only slightly above 10%, so is the representation really so bad and unrealistic…?). Whenever they show a white family in a commercial, they have to show a black one too. When is this gonna stop, when every single black person living here was on tv once? lol
People also always argue that this is caring about the feelings of racists, but I do think that being this demanding can or will lead to more tensions. People over 40 barely understand that saying the n word is bad, but then they now immediately ask for so many other things too, like renaming things, stopping every tiny bit of cultural appropriation, people will feel angry that such a minor minority get's to have a say over everybody else.
I just wish we could stop caring so much about America. But that's been a thing for decades already and will likely only get worse as time goes by.
No. 616538
It’s kind of tiresome, tbh, mostly because i think it’s just a stunt and that the USA will never do anything about it.
I mean, how can you even boycott a whole organization that has been there forever, that everyone knows are enabled by the government and that basically has way too much power?
I’ve seen this, it will never workout, they will only get killed by the police until they’re tired of it, and it’s frustrating, because instead of showing the actual innocent people that have been killed as their “bro, this is fucked up” message, they mess up by showing people with criminal charges like fucking rape, and yeah, everyone will always do a double take, unless they’re a huge ass kind of sheep.
Because the police has always been seen as an authority that you can trust, and it will take lots and lots of years and actual deception to make you think “maybe these are false accusations” or “this could be an exaggeration” and even then, you will think “but that guy is kind of fucked up”.
I’m also salty about this whole BLM movement, I’ve never seen people supporting artists or businesses from my country, we’re also surrounded by drug lords and violence, there’s a bunch of people constantly getting killed by the police and their thug army, it’s also not a Supr Sekrit thing, we talk about it when we’re asked about our country and this has happened for at least the whole 24 years of my life. But do I see a “Latin lives matter” movement anywhere? Or a “mid eastern lives matter” movement? “Asian lives matter” movement?
And the whole “you can’t say all lives matter until black lives matter! Black lives matter more now!!!” It’s so utterly annoying, it only makes me think even more that this is just a stunt, just admit racism of anyone and everyone is happening, don’t be such a cyclops thinking you can only look at one matter at once, specially since you have shown you can solve it on your own.
It’s like basically saying “RIGHT NOW we’re only gonna save fire victims, if you’re drowning, you’re kind of an asshole for expecting our help or even some of our sympathy, how dare you not care about the people burning in fires?! Fuck you!”
I wonder if there’s going to happen anything at all.

>>616643I think she has a lot of good cover songs personally. When she picks songs her voice can work with it sounds really nice, she also tends to have a consistently good ear for melodies because she rarely sings off tune. I agree that she can't make all songs work in her favor though, her voice isn't strong/stylistic enough for all of them and her vocal range isn't very impressive. It's that generic sort of American pop singer style and whenever she tries to do the more huskier style it just sounds like she's out of breath.

>because by having public nudes of yourself out there with your face exposed, you've basically locked yourself out of anything but those same shitty retail jobs, and sometimes even they won't hire youIt is risky for people who want to have their face exposed, but you can do sex work or make sexual media of yourself to put on the internet without exposing your face.

The same isn't true for sex work, unless someone's going to start a sex work university where former sex workers can teach people. Also, I don't think as many employers decide it'd be bad for business to hire you because you used to be a singer or painter vs a sex worker. When you enter SW, you're basically cutting yourself off by entering a line of work that closes other doors.
>It is risky for people who want to have their face exposed, but you can do sex work or make sexual media of yourself to put on the internet without exposing your face.Women who make sexual media without showing their face tend to make far less money than those who do. Quite a few who wear masks are insulted and harassed for not showing their faces, too. Plus, your face isn't the only way people can dox you.
>In my eyes, if you're not at all bothered by people seeing your face and knowing what you do, who am I to tell you that you should be ashamed? Your body, your prerogative.I don't believe in shaming them (I think it's fine if a woman wants to show her body personally), I'm purely referring to how society as a whole, and those in power, view it. Ultimately, it'd be for the best if everyone had this same mindset, but I just don't see it working out for women if we basically sacrifice ourselves in hopes that they'll budge. They already don't like hiring us (citing the "What if you get pregnant?" and other issues lmao). At least get in actual power first. Become the employer, then change the policy. Fucking yourself over and then demanding a spot when they can (and will) give it to anyone else, especially a male with what they consider a "clean" record, just puts you at their mercy.
>Many jobs that require physical skill but don't require specialized skill or formal education are jobs that can't support you for your entire life, like construction work or janitorial work.Sex work in general is more dangerous (on top of the issues of it closing other doors for careers that construction/janitorial work wouldn't), and OF alone carries more risk socially than those examples. Like I said, it's weird that no one tells men to do these things. It's always just us. If it's all the same, why?
>The fault here lies with… the men who make the decision to do that, no? How does the fault lie with the woman? Did she ask for someone to do that to her?It's obviously not her fault, but why should we be encouraged to put ourselves in risky situations? What is the point for money that can't and won't sustain us for life? There are tons of other, safer options.

The only problem is that it definitely kills your soul to draw furry scat foot inflation vore reverse pregnancy hentai for the 103899839539th time just for some cash. Definitely better than whoring out your face/body for what may be those exact same neckbeards in the long run, though.
Honestly, you can even write literary erotica if drawing isn't your thing. I've seen at least one person make a shitton of money from that on Patreon.

my unpopular opinion on the matter:
sexwork is still not real work but the same thing can be said about twitch streamers, youtubers (the ones who just do dumb shit on camera), "political commentators" who just keep repeating the same panderer shit everyone else in their side says, modeling of pretty much any sort, and countless others that vastly depend on people finding you attractive or funny enough to give you their money. People are only attacking OF because they are at least fully honest about what they are doing and straight up get their boobs out, but the problem goes back to when youtubers became a thing. OF it’s just the culmination of the internet degenerating since then.
Oh by the way, getting married/knocked up so you don't have to work either because you are too lazy or too stupid to learn some job goes in there too. Everytime I see a tradthot or a mombie attacking whores I roll my eyes and laugh my ass off at their nerve and hypocrisy. All of them different branches of the same cancer who shouldn't have any sort of influence in young girls and shouldn't be able to speak for women as a whole at all.

>>617680Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but people
should be rewarded proportionally to how hard they work and what they contribute to society… The problem is that in a capitalist society, where those earning the most are only earning the most because they have hundreds or thousands of employees working under them who do all of the actual work, those earning the least are doing the menial physical labor necessary to keep a society functioning, and the economy needs infinite growth to sustain itself so the only acts considered "contributions" are ones motivated by financial reasons, it's kind of a moot point.

I feel like a lot of the time, the privileged women who have options, but just think it's fun/easy/cool to do sexual things speak over those who don't have a choice. If those women would just get their bag and be quiet, I wouldn't even be bothered. Instead, they cape for pimps, try to downplay the issues in the industry and even do creepy recruitment shit on naive girls/women. If you read actual statistics on women involved in sex work globally, their main priority is getting out of sex work and getting better jobs, not destigmatizating things.
I know the loudest first world feminists on Twitter feed us a totally different narrative, but sex work and sex trafficking are interlinked. The "happy hookers" and OF chicks enjoying easy lives are a minority of a minority.

>>617697>I feel like a lot of the time, the privileged women who have options, but just think it's fun/easy/cool to do sexual things speak over those who don't have a choice.Agreed, and sex work being "easy" is something only a person who'd never have to rely on it for money would believe. People who don't have any other option (whether they enjoy what they do or don't and are trying to leave it) should speak over those who do, but at the same time I don't feel that someone should be shamed for choosing to take the option if other options are presented, so long as they acknowledge their choice and acknowledged that the situations are different. Maybe I'm wrong, though, just my two cents.
>Instead, they cape for pimps, try to downplay the issues in the industry and even do creepy recruitment shit on naive girls/womenI agree that all of these things are wrong, not because of the sex acts, but because the women involved are being manipulated - there isn't actually a choice being made. Some people believe there isn't
any choice in sex work (not conflating pimping and sexual assault with sex work) but I'm of the group that believes it's possible to want to do it, and to find it a gratifying career if it's right for you. I think the men (and women caping for these men) endangering the women who make this choice should be absolutely held responsible for their actions, and women who do sex work shouldn't be told that they deserve the treatment or should've expected it.

No. 617918
>>617906Agreed. Not to blog, but I've known I was bi since I was 10, and that had nothing to do with whether or not I wanted to have sex? I was 10. I simply was aware that I liked girls in the same way I liked boys, neither attraction was sexual.

No. 617931
>>617922Because they're literally just people who have a low sex drive. Like I get thinking you're asexual if you're young and have basically never been sexually stimulated by anyone, but that doesn't mean it's not going to happen for you some day. Asexuals who do date and have sex still claiming to be asexual is so fucking funny to me though.

No. 617939
>>617935Fair enough. I sperged out a bit there sorry. What bothers me specifically is that so many people get weirdly attached to some behavior abnormality rather than seek help for it and try to understand how it developed in the first place. What's even worse that actual professionals often encourage this, rather than helping the person understand WHY they have a low libido.
Having a low libido is very common in anxiety disorders, for example. If you were raised in a traumatic environment and are in a chronically anxious state as a result, not experiencing sexual attraction or even much of a libido at all, is pretty normal. Your brain and nervous system are wired to focused on survival, not sex and dating.

Being homosexual is not a personality trait. I am so tired of twitter gay speech and everyone being "lgbtqpi+" spilling into real life. Most of them are actually homophobic but are doing this for clout because being gay is cool right now. If I have to hear "just gay things" by an "bi asexual non-cis woman of color" one more time, I'm getting entirely new friends. These people used to be cool, now all they can do is go on measurement competitions of who is the most woke gay.
I've ate more pussy than all of these bitches combined in my friend group and you don't hear me going on about how fucking gay I am. If you would actually be gay, you would know its not a fucking personality trait nor does it make you cool. My "bi" male friend would not actually have the balls to ever suck a dick. The "biasexual non-cis woman of color" is just a fucking sperg who is too autistic to have sex and would never get down to eat pussy, because she's not fucking gay. She appreciates women as attractive at best, but she would never ever munch that carpet or actually date a woman. Obviously I can't tell them this because that would be "homophobic" of me… I repeat, being gay is not cool nor is it a personality trait. I fucking hate twitterfags who think its woke and cool.
Hooking up is hell in the year 2020 because you have to filter through is this bitch a twitterfag or actually about it. Yes, I want to gatekeep this community. Unless you have ate pussy actively you don't get to claim to be into women. You are a plain hetero. You are not whatever your invented "lgbtqpi+" monicker is.
You are a H E T E R O and it's okay. Don't worry, you would be the same loser you are now even if you happened to be actually your invented "lgbtqpi+" identity.

That's why they compensate it by doing a caricature "super gaay" act. Being gay does not affect my personality. It's insulting and homophobic of them.
If you are not willing to have sex with a woman nor have ever dated one, you can not claim to be into women. In the year 2020 straight millenials have invaded gay spaces to pretend to be gay because they think its a costume and makes them cool.

Men can be handsome to me, but I would not have sex with them nor date one ever again. It doesn't make me bi because I once upon time had sex with a man multiple times. I am gay, not faceblind, I can recognise a person being aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes those can be confused and I believe some of this wokedom fake gays are thinking that finding same sex aesthetic makes them gay. It does not, being gay does not make you faceblind.
Most homosexuals have had sexual encounters with the other sex. It does not make any of us bi. The same way once hooking up with same sex does not make you bi.

>>619693I kind of see both sides. I agree bisexuals in straight relationships don't face oppression on that axis and while being gay is still stigmatized using that term to describe yourself when you don't feel like you would ever enter a same sex relationship can be
problematic. At the same time, I feel like there are a lot of societal reasons that may influence why they're currently feeling that way and it's a phase a lot of people who do end up pursuing women have also gone through. I think that it's healthy for women experiencing attraction to women of any kind to explore it, even if they never end up pursuing it. I mean if they're not looking for relationships with and don't want to have sex with women like they say they don't, I don't care about that and it doesn't affect me or any lesbians because they aren't pursuing them. I definitely don't see any benefit in generalizing it to all bisexuals.

Quite surprisingly the "ugh men should be just KILLED i hate my bf!!!!!" type of "manhate" is the most socially accepted form because it's only damaging to the person uttering it by making them look like a retard with no nuance, but the educated takes striking right to the core of the patriarchy are the ones that are actively silenced because they are, like the term implies, radical and thus threats to the status quo.

Castration should be more popular as a therapy/treatment method. A lot of people with penises have certain mental health problems that they could be relieved of, ranging from sexual illnesses, like pedophilia, to hysterical, often narcissistic rage. If they had their more "base" instincts neutralized, it would help a lot more than just talking about their problems and/or taking pills, IMO.
Castration should be less reviled and taboo in general, especially for those 40 or above. Surprisingly, it helps a lot of individuals achieve mental clarity. Humans shouldn't be breeding for the full extent of their lives, anyway, the likelihood of autistic or deformed children jumps very high after a certain point. We're also in an era where there's more recreation available in life than just sex. It's genuinely not that bad, especially for those who have already had children (as well as "incels", who are sure to never spread their seed in the first place, on top of having extreme mental issues they shouldn't be passing down anyway).

He's either lying about how much food he ate when he had the healthy diet (it had to have been fewer calories than he claims), or after he switched diets (probably snacking on the side and excusing himself for it).

Kinder eggs being illegal in America isn't a really a "Ha ha Americans are to dumb to not choke" and more of an accidental ban.
America had a general law saying any non-food item cannot be in a food item, even if stated on the box. This law passed over 70 years ago and had legit reasons for existing, people would die if manufactures could put random shit in their food with no warnings, but it over stayed its welcome and accidentally banned kinder eggs. No one wanted to over turn the law or put the effort into a "*Objects except kinder eggs" clause so it stayed.
Besides the kinder egg ban is very minimal and you can buy kinder egg knockoffs at almost any store

Lol.
That discussion aside, the truth is that people who aren't "skinny" (average weight and above) will probably wear those types of clothing anyway, and may even be the group wearing those types of clothing the most. Clothing companies already operate cheaply and they rarely ever spend the extra 5 cents it'd take produce clothing in sizes that aren't the most common sizes, because if the consumer market for those sizes is small, they fear it won't sell or won't be worth producing. The railthin body that celebrity women of the 2000s had (as good as they looked) would've been a more common body type then, but women with that kind of body that are becoming a minority, and clothing companies likely can't be motivated to produce clothing for a smaller consumer market (even though it takes less resources to make an XS product than an XL product - but they don't care about that, they only care about making things that are guaranteed to sell.)

Also, trying to get in a relationship just because they think that will make things better at home isn’t a good excuse as to why they should bring random people they met on the internet to their home.

A layer of cells was on the verge of being cancer. Two years of being terrified and getting examined, zapped, retested, re-examined. I was waiting to see if my body would eliminate the HPV by itself (seeing as no treatment exists for it)
Well my partner at the time was having an affair I didn't know about. I've never found out the true timeline of it. I don't know if he gave me the HPV or if he caught it from me… and probably gave it to her. She's a heavy smoker and older than me so those two factors play a bad role in her ability to clear the infection if he gave it to her. She has four young kids.
HPV is one to be careful of. Where I live there is no HPV testing for men, only women. Seems retarded to me but then again they're not the ones getting cancer in their genitals.

She proceeded to go "you can't say that, black girls have been sexualized and matured way beyond their years and they get preyed on or dismissed emotionally because of it" I literally not only already knew this, but it had nothing to fucking do with what I said. I would say the same about any kid who acted and looked older. I didn't say it to the girl's face either.

>>622436I don't think this is an unpopular opinion. Catcalling is just something that gets talked about more because it happens more often and it's only meant to humiliate you, whereas cold approaching is humongously scary and disturbing. I grey rock everyone who tries it and don't even answer to their first line but sometimes they've gotten violent like trying to grab my arm when I ignore them. I'm super average and boring looking too and I wear headphones everywhere I go, a clear sign I'm not fucking interested. Last time it happened was last week, I was waiting for a friend and some douchebag saw it as his opportunity to come talk to me unsolicited despite me avoiding eye contact and not answering him. Scrotes don't deserve to breathe.

It's beyond me how people can expect you to do so much emotional labour for someone you're not interested in. Why do you need to start an awkward, uncomfortable dialogue about your lack of interest when ghosting gets the message across perfectly? It's not your fault if they're so immature they can't take a blatant hint. It won't necessarily make them less offended and hurt if you tell them you aren't interested rather than ghost them, but it sure af does give entitled assholes an opening to guilt you, go off at you, or try to persuade you to give them a chance.

Tarot doesn't "tell" people anything. Tarot should be applied to people's lives as as a guidance and almost like summary of someone's current situation.
If someone gets a 3 of swords you shouldn't tell them "Hey you're gonna experience heartbreak" you should be asking if there's any turbulence in their relationships or friendships and using cards around that card to try and come up with a solution.
If you are telling people things that would cause the to act adversely from tarot readings, then you're a shit reader.

And also, yes, this is caused by generational media influence and even trauma, but at the end of the day it's no one's fault but the people who continue to hold girls in their community to westernized standards, going as far as saying they need to avoid the sun. Why not teach your daughter to love what literally makes her her ethnicity? For example, I'm arab as fuck. I look arab as fuck. My cousin looks like a white girl and I look ugly next to her by default, especially in the eyes of my family. I'm not even ugly, I'm just ARAB like everyone else in my family.

The media glamorization of coffee and cigarettes as "aesthetic" is a deliberate action to keep people unhealthy. People don't mention this shit being bad as much as fast food's popularization, since it's not as in your face, but I feel like that makes it a bit more insidious.

Posts where people complain about rap here are honestly so fucking cringe.
They're literally just akin to some old person saying "rap sucks these days". You're literally only focusing on what main media puts out today and not the many talented rappers that aren't played on the radio or streamed a lot because guess what: sex and drugs sell. You really think they're gonna let some feminist rapper on the track?
You are not saying anything "new" or amazing here and definitely aren't informed enough to make observations like this.
>>622837The only reason my grandma ever started smoking and drinking coffee was because there was a song back when she was younger called "Coffee and Cigarettes" which glorified both.

He literally got his first job, which propelled him to a six figure salary within a few years, through nepotism. His immediate and extended family are all rich and successful. By contrast, I was raised in a super rural town and my family is riddled with alcoholism and mental illness. My mom abused me every day of my life and my dad acted like I didn't exist. Nobody taught me how to do anything and I've had anxiety/depression since I was 8. I had a lot of help from my ex's family and I appreciated that, but they always just seemed baffled by how much I struggled with everything. It's taken me years to finish college because my anxiety is so severe. It's so humiliating to struggle this much and be constantly surrounded by people who refuse to understand where you're coming from and believe you just aren't trying hard enough.
Oh and bootstrap ex just dated me because he "likes girls with daddy issues" so that's fun too. I guess he didn't realize that you have to actually relate to someone somewhat to make a relationship work, aside from just having some fucked up fetish for their trauma.

Beauty standards haven't actually changed as much as people make it seem like. Almond/slanted eyes, a small nose, plump lips and a slim, defined face have been considered attractive for a very long time now. Beauty icons like Megan Fox, Naomi Campbell, Audrey Hepburn show that.

>>624125I agree, certain languages are always useful, some more than others regarding your interests/field. For example, french is often required if you do diplomacy or work at an NGO. And nowadays people say chinese and arabic are the actual business languages. In a globalized world, you can't afford to not be bilingual, at least.
And non-english speakers must have some knowledge in english because it continues being the unofficial "global" language (sadly, because romance languages are the most beautiful)
To me, if you only speak your mother language and it isn't english, you're burning your opportunities, and if english is your only language and refuse to learn a second language, you're an ignorant.

>never even tried to learn a second language Anyway I agree with
>>624125 , I’m terrible at foreign languages but I don’t want to be the stereotypical native Anglophone so I learned to speak two at conversational level. It’s embarrassing to see people travel to the same countries every year and never pick it up beyond literally a couple of words
No. 624276
>>624241That's what I said. People with english as their mother language can afford to not know any other languages, but it's also lazy and it won't be like that in the next decades because other countries are rising, such as China and their languages will become more and more mainstream.
And non-english speakers must learn english, because it's still the most used language in the professional, artistic and entertainment fields.
Knowing more than one language gives you a ton of opportunities, in any field. It is what it is

>>624218I went on a work trip to East Asia last year. One of my colleagues had one spice that she learned she couldn’t stand, and refused to eat a food if she tasted “the spice” in it. None of the rest of us could isolate The Spice or figure out what it was. Then months after we got home we were cooking as a group and she realized that The Spice was anise.
I don’t really mind it, usually for me it just blends in with the other flavors and doesn’t really stick out as it’s own taste. I definitely can’t taste it in pho, though. Life without pho is not a life at all.

>>624218I love japanese food (sans sushi), am about 70/30 on korean food, and 50/50 on chinese food. my main problem with some vietnamese is that it's too citrusy for my taste and i'm not fond of that flavor under certain circumstances. although i really like vietnamese spring rolls!!
chinese for me is the worst type of asian food only because a lot of the restaurants around here use shit quality meat compared to the korean or japanese places

>>624705There's a difference between a man who forgets his anniversary and picks up a generic stuffed animal last minute and a man who special orders a plushie from your favorite show. You don't have to spend a fortune to show effort.
Granted I mostly lurk fds for the memes and haven't really read the handbook, but I don't get what's so
triggering about encouraging women to have higher standards.
No. 624721
>>624705Anon you’ve missed the entire point of FDS. There are some constants like “he should propose to you with a ring” but other than that, FDS is bases value upon mens’ effort, not mens’ wealth or gifts. Sure there are some cow-tier posters on there who are materialistic but I recall FDS agreeing that the term HVM can also be applied to college aged males (aka broke dudes) who were readily available for their partners and gifted them something with thought and preparation. It’s the thought and the action that counts.
Now OT but if you’re asking your man for a stuffed animal and a copy of Animal Crossing, don’t talk down on women who are smart and want gifts that can be resold if things go sour. Nothing wrong with a little return on investment.
No. 624722
>>624718Women need higher standards but FDS takes it to a bigger level and is overly critical of normal communications with men (being
triggered over wanting to grab coffee, some of them are genuinely offended men didn't spend tons of money on them, being overly analytical of messages, etc)
I hate men but these women should just say they hate men and not actively try to have relationships with them
No. 624726
>>624722Fds is kind of right though. Most men do think a like and if hes taking you out on a walk or a coffee date hes doing it to be cheap.
Back when I was on tinder I had a guy tell me he wants to go on a coffee date to make sure hes not wasting money.
When guys suggest coffee dates they are doing it on purpose and they are doing it to be cheap.

>>624705>>624641I'm staunchly FDS and besides my pricey engagement ring–which my bf has thanked me for being so specific about–the biggest things I look for in a man is his availability and effort. Materialism be damned.
I think you're reading FDS wrong and focused too hard on some of the materialistic posters there because deep down you really don't want those things said about men to be true. But sis, a lot of what is said there is absolutely true.

>>624767Really? all the talk about being submissive and taking care to handle mens feelings with baby gloves so they don't feel emasculated made me want to throw up. They talk like men are overgrown tweens.
Also i saw a lot of denial over what redpill men think, mainly about divorce and rape making a woman lose her worth/virginity. These women just straight up deny it and claim it does not follow their ideology.
FDS women i found whiny and spoiled but at least they encourage each other to do better, and men too ig.
No. 624804
>>624641I am not materialistic at all. I don't enjoy ~expensive~ things, I don't wear jewelry or luxury brands, I like eating in cheap places, I'm just more comfortable with that. But if I'm going to wear a ring FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, a ring that is meant to symbolize a man's love and commitment, it better be a fucking good one. It's the one gift that absolutely does need to be good quality simply for the fact you are always going to be wearing it, and actively cheaping out on one is insulting af.
Anyway agreed with
>>624721. They will not think badly of a guy who doesn't have much money but puts a lot of thought and effort into planning dates with you. If a guy can make the bare minimum effort for a chance at sex, he will. Of course, to us a coffee date seems fine because it's easy and we like coffee. But the rationale behind his choice is that he doesn't want to waste more than $5 on you because you're not that hot, or might not put out, or he is dating a too many girls to spend a lot, or something cruel like that. Effort is the best way to determine if a man actually likes you.
No. 624806
>>624788What I saw was them saying that red pill men suck and they look out of signs of abuse and respect and “equal partnership” and say you should only be submissive to a man you can trust to lead your family the right way. Obviously I think the submissive thing is dumb but that’s their thing and I was surprised how woman-positive they are.
One example: they say that men don’t need to know hour exact sexual history but lying to them about it is bad an makes an unhealthy relationship for both of you as it should be built on respect. Meanwhile FDS preaches to lie to him and pretend to be something else
No. 624848
>>624806I didn't really see much woman-positive content. More like traditional family and wife positive. They encourage all traits that make you a "good" mother and submissive wife but bash "feminist" traits and personality types as unfeminine, like women should aways be nurturing angels.
I actually think it's pretty dangerous how they encourage each other to put their lives on their husbands hands when with these trad men things go south reallyyy quickly, things never go well for women when we let a husband assume a role of being dominant and a leader like they want to, and they seem actively deny some behaviours that are really common in men like cheating and only being attracted to 20 yo women because they believe trad prince charmings are out there and if they work hard enough to be submissive their man will aways reciprocate.
Also i don't know for how long you lurked there but i've seen some
abusive behaviour get excused quite often and outright dangerous stuff like one user advising OP to ask her church service for help instead of police in the case of an
abusive husband.
"According to Fascinating Womanhood, yes, you shouldn't be too strong-headed or work so hard in your career that your relationship falls apart. HOWEVER, she says the two things you should always expect from your man is FINANCIAL SUPPORT and FIDELITY."
This one comment drew my attention because it's almost exactly what some women on FDS say lmao. I really think both subs want to help, they just go about it the wrong way and while FDSs can make you a piece of shit RPWs can make you end up being abused.
No. 624922
>>624864Yeah, i think this part and how they encourage each other to not settle for
abusive guys or ones who don't put in effort back in the relationship is what many women need.
But they do preach some retarded things, like the lvm and hvm thing and insist that all women are queens when we all know some women are shit too. They can be extremely pick in wanting only a rich, handsome, perfect educated prince who will spend a lot on them.
They do have a point that you should not be a doormat or perform too much emotional labor when you get nothing back but following all their advice will result in an emotionally unavailable person who is aways seeing the relationship as a transaction and who has unreasonable standards.

>>624987Don't apologize, you're completely correct.
>Chronic, severe mental illness is a symptom of a traumatic and unchanging environment. It's not an inherent biological problem.The environment in reference is set up in a way where civilians' mental and emotional health struggles can be profited off of which, in a economy that can only be sustained with infinite growth, exacerbates the exact issue at the root. It's a sign that the system is run by people who prioritize profit and maximizing the amount of commercial interactions over human life… But it's just a coincidence that everyone who displays even the most minor contempt for being exploited for labor is advised to pump themselves full of pharmaceutical drugs that they can only pay for with the wage they get from being exploited, right?
No. 625004
>>624998Yeah that's a sign of a bad doctor right there. A friend of mine went through the same issue with her GP and eventually just started tapering off of her SSRIs herself.
I'm guessing you're American, but this is a big issue in our medical industry in general because it's almost entirely profit-driven. Your doctor can't make money off of you if you're not taking your meds, so they're not particularly incentivized to listen to patients who want to discuss the possibility of coming off of them.
No. 625005
>>624987Yeah they are really handed out without much thought. I was taking effexor for six years before being informed I’d require IP to change to new meds or come off them. Local GPS have given a few people I know mild serotonin syndrome by giving contraindicated combos, and therapy is like an afterthought. Six sessions if you really push for it but otherwise it’s just ~take some antidepressants and seroquel, come back in six weeks for more~
Half the town is on SSNRIs and nobody knows how they work. That’s a fifties sci-fi horror plot.
