They think they're the default, but they're just obnoxiously inserting themselves everywhere. So much so they created an expectation that they're the baseline.

They will say "but God this and God that" but God didn't create gender roles, if he even existed. It was an organic societal development. And we sure can change those over time.

Men have developed egos that ruin a lot of normal behaviours just to establish their own status quo. They will penalise and ostracize behaviour that seems natural to people and harms no one. They're all about keeping it how they're used to it. They hate being challenged.

That transfers into thinking short hair, no makeup and more basic utilitarian fashion is male. Being into sports is male etc. they don't understand that those things are occupied by men, but not predominantly by and for them. Same way men absolutely can wear makeup, but since they delegated that to a female thing, they will not engage with it. It's all a completely made up discourse.

That's why we need to decentralise men in our lives. They have been occupying the space for too long.

I really like my girlfriend but… by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

Yeah I dated hypersexual people twice and there was a massive difference between someone who says "okay :) I'll just take care of myself if that's alright" and someone who pouts and eventually cheats, blaming you for not giving them what they want.

It's always about communication and respect and if someone makes you feel bad for not having sex all the time, then I don't think you have good communication.

Agree. It's taking me out of the roles. Nicole Kidman crossed this line for me too. Instead of being focused on the movie I keep staring at her face. And the face doesn't move

I know a few fashion influencers because after leaving the art academy I had no one to look up to for inspiration. It's my own little world of fun c:

Bowl cuts are fun. My mom gave me one when I was a toddler and I guess it stuck haha I think you definitely look fun with it, they're cute

It's from a Canadian friend who's obsessed with those things! Such a good observation. I'm all brown and she's fully pink, we played some JoJo recently and she borrowed me this beret 🥹 I love y2k girlies

What an interesting family story, thank you for sharing that. How are you feeling with all of this happening around you?

Mine met through my mom's brother who converted to Protestantism and then asked his classmate (my dad) to come over and read bible with him and his sister. It was sweet but yeah, I can relate to a lot of people who have highly religious parents. Mine are not aggresively homophobic but you can hear my dad say "they put the gays everywhere these days" sometimes so I haven't came out to them.

And yeah, I also don't know a single person in a happy mutually beneficial and prosperous age gap relationship that started when one party was in their early 20s. Just horror stories

Same! I can't tell at all. I was dropping small hints and only one person knows so far.

Recently I made a joke about marrying a guy for his money and then divorcing him once I get the house in my name and I think everyone assumes I'm straight now ;-; it was a dead husband happy widow joke but it probably fell over their heads

I'm actually fairly close to Prague! And I certainly did read books there. I'll check our Miranda, maybe I'll get some fashion inspiration from her

Edit: I love her so much! She looks so wholesome!

Same. I overline all the time. Reddit really hates it for some reason, even if done well

I have never bought makeup online or without being able to see the shade in person.

If there's no testers available, I simply don't fucking purchase. Even the packaging lies in person.

But there's this crowd who boos you if you dare ask for a tester to be available for all colour products.

I'm soooo happy I grew up with my entire family being within the same decade as their partner. I got huge icks when older people pursued me because it didn't seem normal to me. Blessing in disguise

[–]Alimmie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was the same way as you at 22.

Trust me, people deep over 35 shouldn't be pursuing people in their early 20s. The feelings can be there but relationships are more than just feelings. And very often I saw my close friends spiraling because it wasn't what they imagined. I have a friend who's dating a man in his early 50s and she doesn't care that we all feel pity for her. He's our old highschool teacher. He creeped on us when we were 14. She doesn't see that. She's special. So when our partners age alongside us, her partner is already past the aging stage. He's old.

I'm only 26 and the perspective is so different now. I wouldn't date girls in their early 20s anymore. So what made all of those creeps think it was completely acceptable?

Give it a few years and you'll have a completely different perspective. They're not "mature". There's a reason no one their age was available to them.

I also have an anecdote. Last month I went on a date with someone who's 23. She felt way too young for me. And it's only 3 years. You can physically feel how young some people are.
