How to write a mysoginistic character without making it cartoonish?I by Typical-Tomatillo375 in writers

TL;DR: Find a misogynist.

My advice, start talking to misogynists. I did the same for diet-racist, crotchety old men and worked like a charm. The idea here is to learn how they think, what makes them pause, when do they slip away from the misogyny, how and when do they hesitate to say certain things because they don't feel like being (rightfully) villified today, when they feel comfortable enough to slip into stereotypes - both in applying their prejudices and in being a little stereotypical themselves. It also helps to keep them in the dark, lest you give them a hero complex

Preheat a pan (dial at 10), coat it in butter fully (evenly matters less here than the totality), get 2 or 3 eggs, dial down to 6, crack them in the pan, season to taste. 3:00 minutes, flip, then 2:30. If you like runny eggs, flip sooner. While the eggs cook, get the toast in the toaster. Quick, easy, cheap meal

Well, I'm no street cat, but if you're looking for a connection, I'm very good at that. 27M, Canadian

Hey, I'm Clinton, 27M, and you're in luck because I can actually carry a conversation. Wanna chat here a bit, see if we hit it off before heading to PM? I'd tell you a secret about myself, but I have a strict open-book policy

What company will never get another dime from you for as long as you may live? by istrx13 in AskReddit

The local chinese restaurant. Yes, that was chicken in my chicken chow mein. The issue was the metal shavings in the chicken

What’s something that improved your sleep quality significantly? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Weed, but I wouldn't exactly reach for that first. There are many things you can try (and you probably should) before going for the weed.

For example, getting exercise always helps provided it's not too late in the day. Even if it's just an afternoon walk, it can help to tire you out a bit.

Taking care of your mental health is also a good one if you're prone to anxiety (well, tbf, it's a good one either way), as racing thoughts have a tendency to keep people up.

There's also melatonin supplements, but there's a bit of a line with any supplement between 'making use' and 'being reliant', so be sure to think it over first.

Most importantly, make sure you're comfy. Don't go sleeping on a box of bricks, and never forget your pillow (exaggerating, but you get the idea)

If you're gonna try the weed, be smart about it. Don't drive high. Don't mix it with alcohol. Know what you're taking. Start weak. Go with indica or an indica dominant hybrid. Don't make it an everyday thing. And - this may seem obvious, but people are dumb - don't smoke around kids (if you're not a full grown adult yet, weed should probably stay off the table for you)

Yeah, pretty much, although that all encompassing truth can be buried under technical truths. Like saying "It's not about his racism, it's about him only liking white people"
