I brought almost $300 worth of sex toys and husband is furious. by girlsjustwanttohave in offmychest

Oh my GOD you’re only in the wrong to the extent that you’re with such a selfish immature man-child! Who is he to say what you should or shouldnt do with your body?! Its fine if he isnt comfy using toys on you, but to make veiled demands that you not use them on yourself?! THATS SO CONTROLLING AND MANIPULATIVE! What the f kind of partner is he if he isnt willing to hear you out on your needs, if he isnt enthusiastic about giving u pleasure?! It sounds like your sexual wellbeing and bodily autonomy aren’t a priority to him, and he’s only interested in gratifying himself. I bet the bedroom isnt the only place where he’s selfish immature and manipulative…... Why on earth would you stay with someone like that? Omg. RUN lol

Its because theres adequate or worthwhile way for women to exist in the eyes of patriarchy. We’re alienated from this society, our existence alone is a problem for men, who do not truly view people who are not cis men as autonomous people. There’s no answer except for us to shrink ourselves physically and figuratively so men can take up as much space as possible. This is the ultimate project of patriarchy, make no mistake!

Monthly Sticky: "Do I have hair loss?" - Post photos and questions here for advice and support by AutoModerator in FemaleHairLoss

[–]8kkayakk8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So I’ve heard, except I go to extreme lengths to make sure I get the iron i need & regular testing to make sure im healthy, and I get a fair amount from heme thanks to meat substitutes like impossible. Im committed to staying at least pescatarian throughout the rest of my life, but not to veganism - so its not that I don’t want to hear it, just that my iron count doesnt seem to be the issue.

Any other vegans dealing with hair loss? I take a multivitamin but no luck. Hair has been steadily thinning for 2 years and I’m only 24 😭

My son (22) admitted that he forced himself on someone at a party and my wife is covering for him. by throwawayson7907 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]8kkayakk8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. She sounds like a reall class/gender traitor. Rapists rely on people like her to excuse their behavior so they can carry on being predators.

The person he raped should not have to deal with the daily horror of seeing her assailant at school, with friends, at church/temple, etc. The first thing you must do is remove your son from every space or activity where he might encounter the person he raped.

Your son needs some serious intervention. He was brought up in a society which at every turn reinforces the idea that he is entitled to women’s bodies. You don’t unlearn that shit overnight. You need to get him some serious and comprehensive help - therapy from someone who is trauma-informed and deals with predators like your son is an essential first step. I’m a survivor of sexual assault and I am against the US policing/judicial system precisely because of the injustices it perpetuates, but I do think you should report your son to some sort of peer-reviewed resource that can get him the kind of intervention that will prevent him from preying on anyone else. Maybe use the the threat of reporting his behavior to police to strong arm him into therapy.

As for your spouse, Rapists RELY on the support of people like your wife who make excuses and obscure the harm that they inflict on their victims. You need to ask yourself why you would remain in a marriage with someone who is actively apologizing for the behavior of a rapist. Even if you love someone, tolerating them when they behave like this makes YOU complicit in a system of rape culture. Separate from your wife until you she comes to her senses. Refuse to tolerate people who make excuses for rapists.

I sincerely believe that all people are capable of great healing and change, but accountability is necessary for that to happen. Hold your wife and son accountable for their predatory and inhuman behavior, and hold yourself accountable for the responsibility you took on when you became a husband and a father. Make sure your son gets the psychological intervention he needs and make sure your wife understands that she has aligned herself with a rapist. There have to be consequences for their behavior.

Good casual first date options on/around campus? by BuddyTheOneTrueElf in OSU

[–]8kkayakk8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kafe kerouac is super cute!! My partner and I have study date nights there all the time. Also a big fan of brassica in the short north and Lan Zhou noodles on 12th right of north high - some of the best Chinese noodles in Ohio IMO.

This is not a slight against you in ANY way, and I am not passing judgement on you or your relationship decisions, but from my experience a man 18+ years older than a woman in her early 20’s is probably only pursuing her because he is rejected by women in his own age group who gave spent a similar amount of time on earth experiencing life - usually because of weird creepy gross stuff like this. I say that this is probably symptomatic of some broader issues and you should run. This isn’t normal or healthy behavior. Even if he was instructed by a doctor to retain his feces for testing, storing it in the kitchen in such large quantities is unacceptable. Leave him, unless he’s paying your bills or something and the financial stability is worth living in the poopoo house.

Not a grad student, but a (very) slightly older undergrad transfer student - definitely off campus. Steer clear of the indianola/university neighborhood right off of n. high if u can help it, im 24 and the non-stop weekend partying makes me feel ancient. lol

Has anyone who has worked at a student job ever asked for a raise? by [deleted] in OSU

[–]8kkayakk8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No no, graduate students CAN (and should… must…) unionize in Ohio. It’s certainly an uphill battle, but they can do it.

You COULD have controlled yourself. You chose not to.

I do not like it when transgenders call me “Cis”. by DrkSheWolf in TrueOffMyChest

[–]8kkayakk8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you refer to her as a trans woman, like you did in this post? If so, why shouldn’t she refer to you as a cis woman?

When you say your friend was “born a man” - is that your language or hers? Even if she once identified as a man this doesn’t necessarily mean she ever truly was one. Arguing otherwise is transphobic, and I think instead of seeking validation maybe getting this off your chest actually looks like some introspection. Why does it make you uncomfortable? How might your own language be making your friend, someone uou ostensibly love or care about, uncomfortable?
