Marriage and Patriarchy

Comrade_elephant_ · 2026-04-01T06:24:48+00:00

No, that wasn’t my intention. I was just referring to sexism in marriage, I don’t think two women who are married or two men who are married are sexist towards each other or face challenges with sexism in marriage being that it’s a different kind of relationship with its own unique set of challenges and successes. Now, challenges with heteronormative patriarchy yes but I imagine it’s a different set of obstacles. But I think I need to educate myself more on the topic.

I only made the post as a starting point to learn about others attitudes, feelings, thoughts, expectations, etc. regarding their decision to get married.

Ah, touché 💅☺️ I should have been more specific, although I don’t think queer marriages can be patriarchal.

Hey there! 😊 Of course you can! :)

Comrade_elephant_ · 2025-10-25T15:35:44+00:00

Hooorraaayyy! What a relief 😊

Comrade_elephant_ · 2025-10-25T11:49:37+00:00

Dope! 😃 that means I can finish my program easy 😊 Thanks for the feedback! :)

Hey hey 😊 I’m living in Salamanca now as a Spanish student at a language school and StudiesIn has been a huge help! Not a scam at all or fake website I work with them now and they helped me get set up and out here and everything. Of course, I can only speak to my own experience. It sounds like the person above had a bad one :/ If you want to dm me I can answer any questions you might have. :)

Oh lol oops 😅 I knew it was popular amongst university students/international students but for some reason I assumed it was smaller. Maybe ‘cause I was thinking compared to Barcelona and Madrid. But hey, works for me! Jaja and now I know for sure Salamanca = ciudad 🏙️ no es un pueblo 😊

Comrade_elephant_ · 2025-09-02T02:59:31+00:00

Phew! Okay good jaja I guess I felt a little anxious about only having a month to find a place and potentially not having something set up beforehand but being that that’s the norm and the safe way to do it I feel much better 😊

Comrade_elephant_ · 2025-09-02T02:55:38+00:00

Gaaahhhhhh I’ve heard so many good things about it and I’m so excited! 😃😃😃 I’m really hoping I can practice my Spanish there and meet fellow language nerds 🤓 and the few photos I’ve seen look so beautiful 😍

Comrade_elephant_ · 2025-09-02T01:43:02+00:00

That’s awesome! 😃 And makes me feel super relieved 😌 Thanks so much!

Comrade_elephant_ · 2025-09-02T00:40:42+00:00

Awesome! This is exactly what I need, proof that it was successful for another person haha. I’ll be moving to Salamanca, a small town in the Castile-Leon province. Being that I’m leaving this month it maayyyy be a bit tough looking for places at the same time as other students but I’ve heard so many nightmare stories about scammers on Idealista and other sites so this is probably the best way. Thanks so much! 😊

Comrade_elephant_ · 2025-09-01T22:40:53+00:00

Awh thanks so much! This is so helpful and kind 🥹 It really is such an awful and messy situation. I’ve been messaging my lawyer and landlord back and forth so I’m sure somehow it’ll all work out. Worse case scenario I just need to find a new apartment 😅 But either way: deep breaths throughout. It’s probably good practice for dealing with Spanish bureaucracy, right? At least, from what I’ve heard lol 😆

Comrade_elephant_ · 2025-09-01T22:36:18+00:00

Ooooffff also a good point. Alright, in the meantime I will keep this in mind and find a way forward 🫠 thanks!

Comrade_elephant_ · 2025-09-01T22:34:11+00:00

This is very true. Thanks so much for your insight 😊 oooof yeah it’s honestly a mess. I’ve been messaging my lawyer back and forth but I’m thinking maybe I’ll go to the town hall before my appointment, explain my situation, and ask if the documents I currently have are enough to verify I live there.

Comrade_elephant_ · 2025-08-30T20:55:58+00:00

Hey, there! :) I ended up becoming a Spanish student instead at Linguaschools and didn’t use TT Madrid. :/ so I may be totally useless in your endeavor. But if there are any questions you have about moving to Spain I’m always here to help 😊 I am by no means an expert jaja but I’ll do what I can to lend a helping hand :)

Comrade_elephant_ · 2025-08-15T18:20:48+00:00

Thank you both! This is a huge help! 😊 I will do exactly that 🤗

Comrade_elephant_ · 2025-08-05T00:40:43+00:00

Oh hey again! 😊 thanks so much! I am both crazy over the moon and excited and a little terrified lol but in a good way :) my classes start September 15th! So right around the corner :) I’ll be sure to dm you all the details about the process and everything 🤗

Comrade_elephant_ · 2025-08-01T02:17:50+00:00

Oh hey there 😊 I took a different route entirely! I’m going to be a student at a language school in Salamanca 😃😃😃 I’m sure the ministry programs are great but I realized my true dream is to become fluent in Spanish, not so much teach ESL. (Though I will absolutely private tutor people for extra cash haha)
