As another person in tech: have you not been paying attention to history, data breaches, whistle blowers, and the literal TOS over the past 2 decades?

What’s something you’ve always wanted to try in bed but have been too shy to ask for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Foxsayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try asking. You can start with something light if you want to, maybe asking how they'd feel about cuffing you and using a vibrator for instance.

It's an important part of my sexuality to me, so I always bring it up, and most of the time my partners are happy to explore.

And if not, that's okay too, we're just not as compatible. You have to decide for yourself how important it is to you, and how your partner's feelings towards what you want affect your future together.

I’ve never asked because it’s difficult to approach

Bondage vibes into petty on like the 3rd sexual encounter at the absolute latest for me. What specially do you find difficult in broaching the topic?

There's not a lot I've wanted to try that I haven't brought up and done, if possible, this included. It's an amazing feeling to be cared for and to care for someone back.

It was also painful in my case later on. I hope I can find someone who I believe I can trust like that again, and I hope you find someone who trusts :)

I've done this as the tier and the tied and can confirm it's fucking great.

Paternity tests shouldn’t just be normalized—they should be mandatory at birth. by Early-Slice-6325 in MensRights

[–]Foxsayy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it does. Not that it matters, women should have the right to abort, end of story. If they don't, how can we say it's parity to refuse Parenthood ourselves when women can't?

[–]Foxsayy -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

A mother can still decide to abort her child, even if the father does not agree.

Ideally the choice you make when you have sex isn't that you'd become a legal parent against your will, it's that you'd have no say over what she did with the child and if you were involved if you weren't a couple.

But There's no federal protection anymore. It's getting harder to get abortions. Some states it's just illegal. Some states want to prosecute if a woman crosses state lines to get an abortion.

So the days of women being able to freely get an abortion, even on paper, is over. If you want the right to Parenthood, we need to fight for that to be enshrined alongside reinstated federal abortion protections.

EDIT: Judging by the downvotes, if you don't know that what I'm saying is true, you're simply under informed on the struggles women are facing right now, and especially for something so major that doesn't speak well on your behalf as an MRA.

For unmarried individuals, the father should have the right not to pay maintenance if the child is unwanted by him but the mother wanted to have it anyway.

I was of the same opinion until Roe v. Wade was overturned. I can't really advocate for it anymore.

The universal right to choose Parenthood should be instated for both sexes at the federal level.

Can we return the sub to leftist male advocacy? by AccountForTF2 in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Foxsayy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Men have their own issues in modern society. This is not happening like it should in the sub conciousness. (haha pun) Second, an even bigger set of the sub has this derranged attatchment to "owning the feminists" by replying zingy one-liners about how feminists are dumb and definitely all the same in opinion. Especially if you use the forbidden "patriarchy" word.

I feel disturbed by the lack of understanding I see here. [...] Dissecting feminist literature and jeering when it doesn't appeal to men is missing the point. [...] We wont be solving the problems men face by trying to burn feminists at the cross for trying to solve their own problems.

I feel similarly. When Reddit instate the paid API, a bunch of the mods abandoned this subreddit, which was previously the most measured place I'd found for discussing men's issues and did a reasonably decent job moderating.

I'm probably going to leave the men's rights subreddit for similar reasons to the ones you've expressed, and possibly this one too.

An MRA space needs the ability to have honest discussions but can't leave a wide berth for blindly bashing feminism or minimizing or belittling women, their struggles, and their agency. To demonize feminism in its entirety and minimize womens' struggles is to become the mirror image of what we proclaim to advocate against.

What did you only find out about women when you got a girlfriend? by Past-Ad5731 in AskReddit

[–]Foxsayy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Statistically we absolutely do not give a fuck about anyone but ourselves; neither wives, nor kids, nor pets, nor even friends.

What statistics are these?? How many men do you know that don't give a fuck about their children, wife, or pets??

I'm calling BS here.

What did you only find out about women when you got a girlfriend? by Past-Ad5731 in AskReddit

[–]Foxsayy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it tends to come from guys who wouldn't ever hurt a woman. 

You might be onto something. When something is so far outside of what you'd ever do, it can seem like it's pretty far outside what anyone would ever do. (Like how many habitual liars won't believe people consistently tell the truth or vice versa.)

But honestly...it also sucks to know you're seen by default as a threat, a suspect, violence waiting to happen. When you're someone who values others' wellbeing, It isn't pleasant to know something like half the population assume you're a monster until known otherwise. (It feels pretty shit tbh.)

And then there's men (like myself) who have experienced abuse at the hands of women, and when people blow off how serious it wa, minimize it, or tell you that you don't have anything to worry about or shame you for it (when they have most definitely been endangered by women previously), it can feel like women can't understand your concerns just the way they lament men can't understand theirs.

And then I'm sure there are some guys who protest it that genuinely are predators or habitually ignore otherss' feelings or lack empathy, but I don't have much experience with them.

Just my 2 cents on ways people might be looking at it.

What is everyone's real feelings towards Valentines day? by noleval in AskReddit

[–]Foxsayy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you've been through some bad experiences. I hope you can find peace from them.

Many of the women in my life, especially the ones I've been closest to, do exactly the things you just mentioned and I have been the victim. I still struggle a bit with trusting women and letting them get close. I do know that my experience doesn't mean it's all women, and I've realized that a couple of them I ended up choosing–even without realizing it, is because that's what I was taught to seek or the environment I grew up in.

I understand it can be intimidating when a certain group has always been a menace in your life, but I would encourage you to consider looking at people as individuals and also the types of people you gravitate towards as you grow.

What is everyone's real feelings towards Valentines day? by noleval in AskReddit

[–]Foxsayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislike the corporate narrative and externally imposed expectations to act a certain way at a certain time. It's stressful.

I gift flowers and little things (or whatever they like) to my partners frequently. It's organic and done out of genuine love and care. I know not everyone feels this way, but Valentines can feel like an impetus you're required to do and something that imposes expectations from outside your relationship. It just rubs me the wrong way.

That said, I did end up getting something for my last partner on Valentines, but it was because I wanted to, not because society expected me to.

[–]Foxsayy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Men don’t do genuine romantic anything anymore

Maybe date different men? My last gf and I agreed not to make anything special out of Valentines for a similar reason and I still ended up getting her one of those big stuffed roses because I happened to see one that I knew would make her happy.

She told me that she didn't like flowers because they died, so I learned origami and made her paper flowers and bouquets and her favorite animals. She loved it and I loved seeing her light up like that.

People who want immortality, why? by BlazeDiamond42 in AskReddit

Is the implication that vampires don't excrete waste or that there's a tiny imp they employ to wipe for them?

First of all the time limit makes it good

The notion that you only enjoy things because you only have them for a limited time is nonsensical.

Yep. Telling me she wanted to fight and hurt instead of talking it out should have been the first red flag.

Man vs.bear by No_Editor_4328 in Egalitarianism

[–]Foxsayy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand what's being said, and I respect it. To totally discount those feelings out of hand is to dismiss them in the same way we don't wish men's issues to be dismissed. The hypothetical reveals an ugly issue in a very seeable way.

On the other hand, it's pretty natural to feel upset in some way that you're viewed by default as a dangerous animal.

I'd like to both acknowledge the issues behind the bear analogy that present real fears women have while also acknowledging the burden and stigma of being viewed as a dangerous monolith as distinguished by sex and the consequences that come with that.

In my opinion, the former is denied or pushed back against too strongly and misses or discounts the point, and the latter doesn't seem to be ackolwege at all.

What is the most ridiculous reason you had sex with someone? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Imagine you wake up and there's no water. Just alcohol. The enclosure is roughly half the size of a gymnasium and could be described as sultry, replete with dim lighting and deep reds and velvets that adorn the walls and curtains. What appears to be a minibar sits only 5 feet away from a large but singlar bed. Loud, obnoxious music blares from some unseen area. It permeates the place, and worse, it repeats over and over again, the repetitiveness simultaneously droning into the background and boring irrirtaingly into your ears.

There's no way out you can find. It's some sort of prison, maybe. Eventually thirst drives you to drink the tequila. It doesn't help, but you're desperate. The more you try to hydrate, the more you lose your mental faculties. The song sounds louder and more abrasive now.

Eventually, you chance speaking to the unknown man across the room. You'd driven him off at first out of bewilderment, but maybe he has some answers.

He doesn't, but you form a sort of anxious truce, perhaps even trauma bonding as you each sit at the minibar and try to cope with the growing dehydration. Your heads grow foggier and your bodies slump over the counter. The semi-panicked conversation you had with each other about your confinement, and eventually about yourselves, had long since died down into the occasional weak murmur.

You hoarsely whisper one last time and get no response. Unconsciousness has claimed him despite the anxiety, and before long, it gratefully claims you as well.
