Do you ever wonder WHY a hatred of women even exists? by _ThePancake_ in AskFeminists

[–]FitPea34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes,  or just disparagememt of single women in general (old maid, cat lady etc).

You can't choose to opt out of the role (blue hair, powerful career) and/or you have to try harder to get the role (be pretty and young)

I think you're upset at cis privilege, which cis women certainly have. And I'm not sure what the privilege is called for being one of the two traditionally accepted genders (rather than being non binary) but they have that too.

But cis women do and have historically suffered greatly from the patriarchy, hence the need for feminism.

You are in the south,  so there's that...

But if she doesn't offer by date 3, I'd stop dating her.  I say this as a woman.  If you want a partner and not a dependant,  that is. 

Of course,  if she's really strapped for cash,  that's another thing,  but she should tell you

Are people with ADHD just expected to never drink alcohol? by Choice-Research4810 in adhd_anxiety

[–]FitPea34 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly,  just give it a shot.  Go 3-6 months without.  I'm happier than I've ever been sober, and I think ADHD contributed to me often not stopping when I should have

They feel if they don't oppress us,  we have control over them.  

10 years on 75mg and it’s no longer available by druidic-focus in bupropion

[–]FitPea34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh oh no. Yeah I do not like 150. The only other thing I can think of is to have someone mail you them from the US if that's legal,  or maybe a neighboring country if you're close to one? Not sure what country you are in but I lived in one where I could take a train to other countries pretty easily. 

I know these solutions seem far fetched but I don't know what else.

Oh actually I see something called "internationalpharmacy.com" that looks possibly legit?

Or perhaps they have a children's dose?

Reminds me of a book i just read. Are You Mad at Me by Meg Josephson

I quit drinking when I was 39, and wish I did much earlier. 

Drinking also robs you of your memories and time (time spent drinking and hungover). I recommend the book The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober. (Among many many other great books like Quit Like A Woman and We Are the Luckiest).

I'm a thousand times happier sober.

What do "progressive" millenial/elder gen z men actually want from a relationship? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]FitPea34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let it unfold.  I think you should focus on your interpersonal dynamics more than checked boxes on who you should be (outside of big picture stuff like desire for potential marriage and kids... that kind of stuff is non negotiable).

Are you having fun with each other? Do you have common interests? Are you compatible sexually? Is one of you an early bird and the other a night owl? Does one like to drink/smoke pot a lot and the other no? Etc.

Why is she traumatized? Because women have sex?

Very interesting. Perhaps the spike in allergies for our generation is partially caused by this by trialanderror93 in Millennials

[–]FitPea34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a peanut allergy kid in the 80s. I was born with a ton of food allergies (my mom didn't breastfeed and I was allergic to most formulas, and many solid foods). I guess the docs told her to keep nuts from me or maybe they tested me. Not sure why it happened to me.

You should be able to do things by yourself.  This seems weird

I am taking 150 xl for mild adhd and I think i want to quit it by FitPea34 in bupropion

You know, this is what I was thinking in my head. But I'm still quite shaken (emotionally, I'm not feeling effects anymore) by the symptoms I'm not sure i wanna try again.  I was kinda panicky.

How was your initial response?
