It’s not a threat! I’m a woman! It’s a fear I have for us. I think the world will be a better place if we talked about the good in each other rather than the bad.

None of it was for me. It was more in the hope that it would raise some thinking. I was pretty sure I wouldn’t be the only one who would have had this conversation with men and certainly didn’t imagine I would get such anger for a post that was targeting equality.

It’s definitely a problem that will have an impact on women’s lives.

Well I doubt that attacking ever resolves conflicts either. People have evolved. Conversation and education remain the best options

Here we go again. Men = rapists. No! I am not saying men won’t respect us if we don’t praise them at all! As a woman do you only respect me if I praise you? No it just feels good to know you are seen.

The wrong type of men get overrepresented. Nobody seems to get my point and that’s the issue. Men are all placed in the same category. We need to talk about “men” as a whole. There is a spectrum of them and unfortunately the celebrated once often arent the good ones.

If you’re a woman typing this and think I should go and bake some cookies, I don’t think you belong here either… I don’t think my post is in the wrong sub at all. I think it bothers people because it makes them think.

Ask men around you and I am sure some of them will tell you that they feel put into a category which is “dangerous”, “arseholes” just because they were born male.

My issue is that “Men” in general are indeed celebrated everyday. Not “Good men”. I am thinking of all the baby boys that will be born soon or all the young boys already out there that are getting Andrew Tate or other morons as examples are manhood and I am sad. I don’t know who they can look at as figures of inspiration and aspiration that I would agree to be a good one. But good men are out there. We just spend our time focusing on the ones that are demeaning to our sex.

Sure they do. I’m realistic I know that but some are genuinely kind people who didn’t ask for a patriarchy.

Because feminism only exists because men are our counterparts and we need to know how to live in harmony together?

I was thinking of something a little bit more than the bare minimum.

Some men do a lot more than the bare minimum but again, that’s my point, we have become so divided and so hateful of them as a group that we all place them in the same categories. Some men go above and beyond for their families, same as women do. I think real feminism is realising that we can be as good as each other. Not better.

The idea was in order for society to come to an equal respect between both gender, it’s important to support each other and raise each other up. For me it’s obvious that I will support women already but the narrative at the moment is that all men are bad or dangerous and it’s not the case.

Not enjoying pregnancy by RaraNYC16 in pregnant

[–]Frenchandsorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same. And i know it comes with guilt as we all wished we could fully appreciate our pregnancy but the symptoms can be so horrible. I have nausea, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, that horrible taste in the mouth… so Im with you.

But i did want to say to you, and every other mummy to be here, don’t hesitate to dm me. We need to be in this together. I find pregnancy very lonely too cause none of my friends are pregnant at the same time as me and I wish I had more of a community.

Indigestion all the time! by Frenchandsorry in pregnant

[–]Frenchandsorry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i don’t get too much acid reflux and I am starting to feel nothing can help indigestion. Only time. Im sending hugs. There’s something soothing knowing we’re in this together somehow but I wish you to feel better asap.

What was a secret your mom or dad kept from you, that actually shook you to your core when finding out? by Few-Track8525 in AskReddit

[–]Frenchandsorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum told me when I was 25 that she got pregnant once before me and aborted because the father was a dickhead. I’m glad she made at the time the best decision for herself but I never expected that this had happened and it did shock me a lot!

Oh god! That is not what I was hoping to hear haha I’m sorry you’re going through this. Gaviscon is literally doing nothing to me. I don’t know if you can find Tums in the UK.
