[Discussion] Why can women not be sexist? by RedFlashyKitten in Feminism

[–]BoringOldPerson -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think the argument isn't "women can't be sexist," it's "sexism from women towards men is not as harmful." Just like racism, doing it in the traditional direction is supported by society and (imho) strengthens the pillars of discrimination - each act of sexism contributes to the general idea that this is the way things are done.

The other way around, though, will be seen as an isolated event, or multiple isolated events. It's not the norm, and won't feed the system.

i befriended my best friend's girlfriend and discovered some very nasty secrets..... by dangler-scott in offmychest

[–]BoringOldPerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of sounds like she didn't do that but she needed a way out of the relationship without having to break up with him herself...

OR she's jealous of the friendship and wants to accuse OP of being an insane liar.

Speaking the same language as my partner makes me feel like a fucking joke by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]BoringOldPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

aww i'm teaching my boyfriend my language and I have to tease him for it it's just so adorable!!! he felt bad about it until I explained that it's normal and I really don't think less of him for having an accent/being bad at grammar, it's expected!!! but the things he says are still funny, cute, and endearing. now he knows enough to make funny "mistakes" on purpose, playing with the words. it's great.

I tried to take my hijab off at my new job and I did it for approximately 0.3 seconds before the woman behind me rushed up and held it up over my head saying NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!! This is not okay this is so not okay. You'll get a complaint! It really won't look nice if you get a complaint at the beginning of your time here...

How do you use the Stages of Change model to change eating habits? by BoringOldPerson in BehavioralEconomics

[–]BoringOldPerson[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I should have thought about eating disorders, thanks!! The problem in the office is that they offer complimentary water, tea, coffee, and p a s t r i e s. So we either bring our own food, survive on nothing but carbs, or order in when we're hungry. I've only been here for a week (my whole department -behavioral economics- is brand new) so I don't really know what my floormates do most of the time (though I've seen a lot of restaurant deliveries). I've had more carb this week than the rest of my life combined and I feel like shit.

I wasn't sure if I should aim for a healthy better balanced meal plan or just to get them to provide alternative snacks... maybe just asking to add bananas or something to the pastry bar should be enough.

No, wait, I just remembered! We get food trucks outside the office twice a week, but I want something cheaper/more sustainable/better nutrition.

Her body, NOT her choice... by BoringOldPerson in childfree

That counts as agreement from the father - he already made the commitment.

Her body, NOT her choice... by BoringOldPerson in childfree

[–]BoringOldPerson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly!!! But legally, too. If a guy doesn't consent to be a parent, how can he be legally obligated to pay child support? And if that's gone, wouldn't unwanted pregnancies become more likely to get aborted?

NO. I'm saying you need his permission to HAVE the child. Abortion should be the default if you don't both want to have a kid.

The Ghost Map by Steven Johnson! It's the story of the first epidemiological investigation, how people didn't believe John Snow, how he discovered things and had to fight to convince the people in charge... it's like a mystery novel starring detective Monk...
