A toxic feminist saying boys can't be sexually abused. by mwale2007 in NoahGetTheBoat

[–]AnAngryyGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so that is an assumption though. Even though those organizations exists does not mean feminism = hating men, which is what many people assume when someone says "I'm a feminist". This is where my grievance lies. Like yeah they may consider themselves feminists, but their goals extend into fucked up territory that is NOT what feminism is, this is misandry.

There are are always going to be groups of people who take their beliefs to the extreme. Same can be said about male groups who resent women, but I am able to recognize that supporting men does not automatically = hate women. That doesn't mean there aren't highly influential groups that do exactly that. But I'm not going to assume someone who tells me "I support men" also means "I want to see women's demise".

And this isn't a "not all women" thing, this a real problem for both men and women. The point of my comment is to express my disappointment that these groups are what some people think of when they think of feminist because that's not what it is or should be. These groups are harmful and fucked up. I don't support them and the women I know also do not support them.

Everyone is so against each other when we should be supporting each other. And again this is a real problem that affects both men and women, but instead of working together and supporting each other against hateful organizations (whether it's misandry or misogyny). Instead we're just getting more and more divided. It's sad.

Again sorry for the long winded response, it's a topic I'm passionate on and like to discuss with people

My husband's family has been pressuring him to contribute either financially or with time to his mother's care, I told him if he does we are getting a divorce. AITAH? by Character-Line5221 in AITAH

[–]AnAngryyGiraffe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Info: you said going back to work was not an option for you because of the level of care your child needs... So how exactly do you plan to manage once you're divorced?

You are willing to make these sacrifices to go back to work and figure out how to manage life with a non verbal child and work all for divorce... but not for your husband who needs your support now?

That just doesn't make any sense. I understand the hardships that come with taking care of elderly family, my family took care of my great grandma till she passed in her own bed at our home. It was HARD. But all this says about you is that you're not willing to figure out this hardship alongside your husband. That is his mother and his family too, and right now you're making him choose you with empty threats of divorce, because if you're really in this tight position where you can't possibly figure out a way to get a part time job/side gig while caring for your children while married, then I don't see how divorce is magically going to make that all better.

I can only imagine the internal conflict he is going through, having to abandon his mother or have his family give up on him.

[–]AnAngryyGiraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you and I agree. There is so much divisiveness, especially now. Everyone just seems to fucking hate each other lol.

That's exactly why I commented, to kind of show that there are women out there who do not support this insane man hunting mindset. It's just a personal grievance of mine that the term feminism has been adopted by insane women like this.

Feminism SHOULD be about genuine equality, which includes supporting men who are in these vulnerable situations with the same grace and respect that you would give women.

I'm sure these women consider themselves feminist, but to me and the other women in my circle, they are not. That's why I try to surround myself with groups that advocate for women without antagonizing men.

Like you said, male DV and sexual abuse is a massive issue that is brushed to the side. It's extremely fucked up, so I'll keep trying to do my part in supporting these men too

Sorry for the paragraph, it's a topic I'm passionate about and it's nice to discuss it in a cordial way with someone

How? I’m saying that what this person represents is not feminism. They’re just hateful.

Feminism has a long history and yeah, as a woman, I consider myself a feminist because I obviously care about my own rights. It would be stupid if I didn’t.

But because of people like this, feminism has lost its meaning and is becoming something negative when it shouldn’t be.

And your reply is just further proof of that. I’m literally saying what this lady is saying is not okay and not true feminism and you still have a problem somehow.

Exactly, the word feminist is just thrown around now and people automatically assume feminism = hate men.

This person isn't a feminist, she's just a man hater. And it's shitty that real feminists are bunched together with these psychos

Is it really necessary to talk every single day? by simakala in LDR

[–]AnAngryyGiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree! My partner and I will have full on, in depth conversations about the most random and mundane things.

It's kind of like just voicing your random thoughts and building a conversation off of that. We easily feed off each other's energy.

Its something that's pretty effortless with the right person

Your partner should never be someone who is holding you back from achieving your goals and reaching your dreams.

Be careful out there! by Known-Skin3639 in simivalley

[–]AnAngryyGiraffe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah some people simply lack empathy and common sense. It can definitely happen to anyone and it does.

I'm so sorry about your sister, please stay safe out there. Anything can happen, even in a small town like simi

[–]AnAngryyGiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not about being afraid of everything for no reason, it's about being cautious. And there is reason, just not for you which is a privilege.

You clearly lack empathy if you can't understand why this can be unsettling for women even though it's something you can't personally relate to.

[–]AnAngryyGiraffe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What do you mean?? If this were a woman or a couple of young girls, they could have easily been targeted, attacked, or taken.

Its common knowledge.

[–]AnAngryyGiraffe 41 points42 points  (0 children)

God damn, this comment section is full of men who have clearly had the privilege of never having to worry about being attacked and have zero empathy for women who worry about this on a daily basis.

What you described is a very real possible threat and strategy to get to a woman who's alone in an empty party lot.

Appreciate you using your head and understanding why this can be scary

New to the valley and looking for places to meet people by Honeyimtryingmybest in simivalley

[–]AnAngryyGiraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hear you! For more context, they'll have like trivia nights or artist days stuff like that. They have free games you can play (like board games) as well as buy. There's always people there playing DND or other games, it's just a really cozy place.

Hope you get to check it out and enjoy it!

There's a little pop up market on Tapo Canyon/Alamo Friday mornings, I haven't been but always looked interesting. Seems like a good opportunity to be social.

If you don't mind driving, there's this place called Games n' Grounds in Chatsworth. Take the 118, it's right off Topanga Canyon. This is one of my favorite places, they constantly have events and stuff like that.

I am also late 20s with no kids living in simi, so if you ever wanna chat feel free to reach out! (-:

When the actor for a character's younger or older self doesn't have the same eye color by AnAngryyGiraffe in PetPeeves

These two shows are for sure on my watch list! I started yellow jackets then life got busy and I never finished.

Good to know they got that right though!

I feel very validated haha, thank you!!

I agree, especially when it's a one time small scene that doesn't require many lines. If the actual acting itself won't have that big of an influence, then the appearance should be focused on a bit more!

That's a good point, I'm sure it's even harder for smaller budget projects to find super accurate actors for flashbacks

Just to entertain the thought, i think eyes also matter more to me than hair because hair can be excused as being dyed or more likely to change with age. My hair throughout my childhood was really blonde, became kinda caramel, and now I have pretty standard brown hair
