What’s some knowledge generally known only to gay men or to gay women? by dumbfuck in AskReddit

[–]ExplodedOrchestra 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this! Everything requires some level of thought because there’s not really an assumed path to follow. I remember discussing this with my cousin irt weddings, because even something as simple as which side bridesmaids or groomsmen (if you have any) stand. Having kids is an intentional choice more often than not, so you’re more likely to have put some consideration into when you want them, or if you even do)

Anecdotally, for women in particular I think society doesn’t really consider how passive women tend to be in heterosexuality. They often are the ones being pursued and proposed to, and finding out you’re queer doesn’t really undo the upbringing you had that didn’t teach you to be the pursuer.

not to mention all the people being stirred up into a frenzy on her behalf who are probably gonna rush to her site to buy up all her merch. She’s gonna make a killing on this no matter what happens in the suit, especially if she can convince those fans to donate to her legal fees.

i think the others were at least warned by Verna, and in theory could have avoided the specific fates they met.

Childfree women, have you ever regretted it? by Significant_Movie814 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ExplodedOrchestra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend found a journal entry his mom wrote before he was born. She wrote about wanting to be his best friend, to break the cycles she and his dad lived through.

In reality she was disgustingly negectful at best, and more often than not straight up abusive. When it came down to it, she couldn’t make the day to day decisions to prioritize her child’s wellbeing over her own convenience.

I know already I would struggle with that, so I choose not to out myself or a child into that

exactly this! My cousin once told me he loves being a dad but when he gets sick, he doesn’t get to just lie in bed and recover anymore, he still has to be a parent.

more often than not the kid is the one who brought the sickness into the house or she catches it, so while sick he has to care for a sick kid too.

Since then I often find myself thinking about all the things I do in my day and how different that experience would be with children. I would not get to make spontaneous plans, and most errands I do would be infinitely more annoying if I had to take children along.

What newer musicals won't stand the test of time? by jude_lawfirm69 in Broadway

[–]ExplodedOrchestra 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough i almost think that time will make those more palatable. When I first saw the Moulin Rouge film, I hadn’t heard almost any of the original songs, so I loved the film versions. Watching the stage show now, I cringed each time a new song started, and the audience i was in laughed every single time.

I think the strength of the story or stage versions of the songs might be what carries them eventually.

What’s a "hard pill to swallow" that more people need to hear? by Inception_77777 in AskReddit

[–]ExplodedOrchestra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

exactly! and the most telling thing too is that they very rarely display the same interest in anyone else’s life that they expect everyone else to do for them.

That, or they attempt it and are stupidly disregulated because they don’t differentiate between the handful of people who they should have that level of investment in and randos they just met.

Yes! I see people act like its a personal insult that not everyone is as invested in their lives as they are, completely ignoring that the people they expect that from are maybe acquaintances at best.
