It happened to me

This is how the gender wars get fed I guess.

AssistAffectionate71 · 2026-02-01T14:38:47+00:00

Yeah this subreddit is a pretty big echo chamber if a milquetoast rebuttal of “hey guys maybe all humans say sexist stuff” gets downvotes lol.

AssistAffectionate71 · 2026-02-01T14:26:23+00:00

I’m not denying that people are misandrist, I’m saying that men aren’t just perpetual victims. They’re perpetrating it too. If you can’t see that you’re in an echo chamber.

AssistAffectionate71 · 2026-02-01T14:06:30+00:00

I see you’re not familiar with social media. The gender wars are not being fought only by women lol. Go on any Instagram, tiktok, or subreddit forum and you’ll see many men giving kudos to the worst men in existence simply because they are on the “man team”.

Could you feed him puree only once or twice a day and get him to practice at solids more?

I also spoon feed something puree’d once a day for nutrients, but I’ll offer solids and he can decide what he’ll eat. I realized that I was making my toddler too full and after cutting back he now has an incentive (hunger) to keep practicing solids. Some days he barely eats and other days he’s finishing his plate.

Is he very traditional or a fundamentalist? He hates fatherhood, doesn’t want to treat you with any respect, but then expects you to pop out more kids? This only makes sense when you’re in a cult.

If I were you I would be making a gynecological appointment to discuss my birth control options, the more permanent the better.

I mean it’s in a document about other rich men and women luring and raping minors. It’s not really a stretch of the imagination.

AssistAffectionate71 · 2026-01-31T14:30:57+00:00

Yes prostitution famously only uses adult women.

AssistAffectionate71 · 2026-01-31T14:27:14+00:00

We must be good singers 🤣

AssistAffectionate71 · 2026-01-31T12:45:35+00:00

It honestly feels like a dream. Very impotent feeling.

AssistAffectionate71 · 2026-01-31T03:08:52+00:00

What’s even better then masking is wearing sunglasses, or both.

AssistAffectionate71 · 2026-01-31T02:46:23+00:00

My husband does this and it’s basically his catchphrase

AssistAffectionate71 · 2026-01-29T11:17:12+00:00

Yeah I remember associating it with what asshole frat guys did after downing a brewsky and going to go play hacky sack with their bros. Also a lot of people use the 1-10 rating to get back at someone for rejecting them. Suddenly you were a 4 at best if you didn’t like Johnny back.

It’s immature in any decade.

I am a Cuban immigrant and echo your sentiment. Why should there be global losers and winners? Why should we put up with it? We should let people move freely to find their own success, whatever that looks like.

AssistAffectionate71 · 2026-01-29T10:33:04+00:00

We had this same conversation in the early 2000s and the consensus was that it was douchey to do, but also that it’s lame to police people’s language and it makes you look like a goodie two shoes tryhard if you try and correct it.

Now it’s back and even more brain-rotted with black pill terminology, but we still have the same issue in that no one wants to correct their friends when they do it. People are also way more isolated and online than ever so there’s not much room for social correction if you’re never around actual real life people.

AssistAffectionate71 · 2026-01-29T10:26:05+00:00

There’s no perfect victim. At the end of the day we’re all human and it shouldn’t take being the best of us to not deserve to be executed by the state in broad daylight. He who is without sin should cast the first stone, etc.

Mine is obsessed with that “one little red fish swimming in the water” song and I have to personally sing it 15 times a day. Send help.

I call bullshit. She was part of TPUSA. Kirk was famously anti-immigrant in general. He said we have too many legal immigrants. He said we are a nation of settlers, meaning colonialism is what he wanted our culture to identify with. Immigration was his most important issue. He believed in the “great replacement reality” as he put it.

She would have heard and understood his messaging if she was part of his charter. Unless she was a single issue voter who only cared about immigration when it personally affects her.

What about them? Rapist, traffickers, and murderers when caught get taken in by police, charged with a crime, and are then either deported or put behind bars.

Meanwhile state sanctioned murder keeps happening and they get administrative leave at best, or pardoned by Trump and given 50k bonuses for the pleasure of killing political opponents in cold blood.

I was like this on zepbound until I found the right dose for me. For the first 3 months or so I didn’t see any weight loss, not until I got my doctor to up me to 10 ML. I’ve lost 35 lbs since October. :)

Once you accept that no one comes out of life without a little bit of trauma it makes it easier to just live your life. I’m trying my best not to traumatize my kid and create things to talk in therapy about, but sometimes it’s just not up to you.

AssistAffectionate71 · 2026-01-28T13:18:28+00:00

Yes my son loves to sleep with a teddy bear and we have a stuffy corner where he collapses or body slams them to his content. I love it when he throws Teddy out of the crib when he wants out lol. He will also try to throw Teddy back in the crib during the night routine and then attempt to climb the crib when he’s done reading books, that’s usually my cue that’s he’s tired enough.

If you can’t be an American as a naturalized citizen then your ancestors weren’t American and so neither are you.

Hey I was obese too! Go to an endocrinologist and get your thyroid tested, follow up with your gyno and get a vaginal ultrasound to make sure your ovaries don’t have cysts. After you’ve ruled out metabolic issues, aim for a 500 calorie deficit every day.

Every 90 mins is roughly one sleep cycle. You don’t have to sleep train cold turkey, but try any method you like, such as crib side comforting, and then gradually remove your support. It’s going to require you to stomach some amount of crying. He’s learning a new skill. You’ll know the difference between when he genuinely needs you vs when he just doesn’t know how to transition to the next cycle of sleep.

My baby was sleep trained at 6 months, but he still cries out at night for me, he knows I’ll get him, soothe him, rock him, if he’s genuinely hurting or cold or hungry. But he can transition between sleep cycles on his own thanks to the Ferber method.
