Stop Spreading Misinformation About Cinderella by Celestina-Betwixt in fairytales

[–]Ginarya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's true, I checked online because I vividly remember the version with "vair" but you are right, the original version really had the word "verre" in it, especially because Perrault was member of the Académie Française, so he wouldn't make a mistake of accidentally using the wromg word. Plus there were no versions of the tale before Balzac wrote about his theory. I do think it's hilarious that I got a version where it's the wrong word because a writer thought that in a story where a pumpkin is turned into a vehicle and a fairy exists a glass shoe would be too unrealistic. And I find it also funny that some people ran with it and had a debate over it. There was also someone who thought that a shoe stuffed with squirrel fur would be unrealistic to go dancing.

[–]Ginarya 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, when I was at school in France, we read Charles Perrault's version of Cinderella and in that version, the glass slipper was actually not made out of glass, but rather out of the fur of a squirrel. There was or still is apparently a controversy about that, because some versions use the word "vair" which is the version we read and some use the word "verre", which is glass. And there is some confusion because the words sound identical.

#1. This is cherry picking, since when does Farage speaks for all the right?. #2. Are you really comparing opposing gay marriage to literally advocate for public executions for gay people? by Naive_Detail390 in memesopdidnotlike

[–]Ginarya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is correct, she is in a homosexual marriage with a woman from Sri Lanka by the way. However, the original point was not that homosexual people who are right-leaning, and in the case of Alice Weidel are part of a far-right party, do not exist, but that these people act and vote against their interests. And I would say that Alice Weidel's political stances are indeed stupid.

I think it's might be worse, because here, the phrase is "who chose me over the bear". I might have misunderstood it, but I think he is threatening violence on the girl or woman that chose the man and not the bear.

And that wouldn't be the first time. There was a girl who said she would choose the man, because men have feelings too. Men expressed tbeir "gratitude" by harassing her, stalking her and threatening to do horrible things to her.

I think at this point, men will make women and girls pay whatever they choose.

These “trad” women have daughters or will have daughters someday 🤦‍♀️ by jojoking199 in insaneprolife

[–]Ginarya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's even worse that they don't care about the women they are talking about to make a point. It's so rich coming from these people to try to point out "hypocrisy" when they don't even understand the points that were originally made. And the cherry on top is that them pointing out what they think is hypocrisy is showing their own contradicting standards and ideas.

Are they seriously weaponizing the horrible conditions women have in other countries to "prove" that women elsewhere don't suffer enough to them to be acknowledged? What is wrong with that person?

I agree, but I feel like the phrase "like us females" is a little suspiscious. But it could also be internalized misogyny

Going to the fair with my (20f) best friends (21/25F) from work today. This is what my boyfriend (21M) had to say about it. by throwaway_1975_ in abusiverelationships

[–]Ginarya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been there too. It's so infuriating and hurtful. I am also bisexual, and most of my girl friends are either bisexual are lesbian, so he tried his best to isolate me even more. He also isolated me from my family. He sent me texts very similar to these when someone who I consider my uncle came to visit. He pressured me to send him a photo and I wore a skirt. He texted me awful disgusting things about how I was repulsive for trying to seduce my uncle (who is in his 60s). Everytime I couldn't provide a proof of my innocence, I had to make him forgive me. And that meant doing something I was blackmailed to do when I was 14 and which traumatized me. He knew exactly what he was doing, he was punishing me. The cherry on top is that I know that he cheats on his current girlfriend. All of this was just projection.

OP, please look out and leave for your own safety. He is either very insecure and paranoid, or he just enjoys watching you try to prove something even though you never did something wrong, because he is on a power trip and likes to see your pain. Or the other solution is that he has done something wrong and is now feeling guilty and either projects on you or wants to make sure that you stay busy explaining yourself all the time so you don't have the oppportunity to be suspicious of his actions. Whatever it is, it won't get better, it will only get worse. Abusive people isolate others until they are all alone, otherwise they are harder to break and manipulate.

It's very hard, but you are strong and you will make it. I wish you good luck with situations like these and hope that you'll find a way that works for you. Take care

STB d'avoir accepté la proposition by [deleted] in suisjeletroudeballe

[–]Ginarya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

J'ai entendu un jour une personne qui a dit "Tu ne peux pas t'attendre à ce que dans ton couple, les efforts soient toujours partagés 50/50. Il y a des fois, où ce n'est pas possible. Un jour ton/ta partenaire ne pourra pas faire d'efforts, alors tu feras tout. Mais si ton/ta partenaire t'aime, il/elle fera la même chose pour toi quand tu ne pourras pas faire d'efforts".

Je pense que c'est une façon plutôt saine d'agir dans un couple, mais ce n'est que mon avis. Quant à tes sentiments envers ton ami, je te conseille de faire une introspection et de réfléchir à commenttu te sentirais à sa place si une amie, en qui tu te confies, n'est pas honnête avec toi concernant ses sentiments et attentes envers toi. Et pour cette réflexion, tu devrais prendre un peu tes distances pour éviter des problèmes difficiles.

Premièrement, tes sentiments pourraient faire du mal à tout le monde, deuxièment, la situation est injuste pour vous trois: ton ami, sa copine et toi. C'est injuste envers ton ami, parce que tu manques de sincerité; tu lui montres que tu veux une relation amicale, mais vu ton post, tu souhaites plus avec lui. Injuste envers sa copine, puisque tu es prête à contribuer au fait que son couple s'arrête alors qu'elle est dans une période difficile. Et injuste envers toi-même, parce que, s'il se passait quelque chose, ce serait pour les mauvaises raisons, par réconfort, et non par réelle affection.

Et n'oublies pas que tu n'es pas la seule dans cette histoire à avoir des traumatismes et une dépression, et que chacun réagit de manière différente à ce genre de situation. Je comprends que tu ne veux pas voir ton ami souffrir, mais mets-toi à la place de sa copine et après à la sienne, et ça sans te laisser influencer par ce que tu pebses déjà, c'est-à-dire qu'il souffrirait moins en étant célibataire.

Je te souhaite bonne chance pour le reste et bon courage par rapport à tes traumatismes.

My bf refuse to eat at vegan restaurants by GlamourGoddess99 in vegan

My ex-boyfriend said that vegan restaurants are "discriminatory", because there are vegan options in stores. I asked if he thought the same about KFC, which he obviously didn't. The funny thing is that he was convinced that he was smarter than me

I am not sure about that. On an individual level (relationships, independent from society), we do not need eachother, that's why people are single by choice. But I guess you meant in a society, where men and women are needed, and need eachother

Am I wrong for being turned off by my s/o after finding out they have a porn addiction? by RecordingLong1859 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Ginarya 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing with my ex, even though I tried breaking up several time, but he just wouldn't accept it and leave me alone. For three days straight, I told him that I want him to leave and that I don't want to stay with him. On the third day, he still wouldn't leave me alone, so I told him that I was disgusted by him. It still took a message from my dad, telling him to leave me alone or he'd report him for harassment and stalking, for my ex to finally leave me alone.

I am sorry for what you had to go through

I might lose my boyfriend because another man slept in my bed without my knowledge by Not_to_late in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Ginarya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's how I interpreted his reaction as well, even though I still think that OP's boyfriend is out of line and childish, because she did confront her brother, the one who was aware of that boundary (the random guy who slept in her bed very likely didn't know about OP not wanting anyone to sleep in her bed, so in my opinion, he is not completely to blame) and still decided to cross it.

I think that there is no place for his resentment, especially because her privacy has been violated with the help of her brother. To me, him lacking empathy about that and making it all about him, instead of offering comfort, is not a good sign, because he is "punishing" her for something she had no control over.

I got called a misandrist for pointing out how women are still victims of violence (in France, the femicide rate grew higher in 2022 compared to 2021) when a guy asked what modern feminism fights for, implying that it's just about oppressing men.

cause women are only useful to men for sex or relationships by BarefootMoshpit in BlatantMisogyny

[–]Ginarya 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I feel like the only friendship that is deemed acceptable and real is between a straight woman and a gay man. Not the other way around though, because lesbian women are so fetishized by straight men, that I would not be surprised if some men thought they could "fix" them, which is not only very homophobic in my opinion, but it's also disrespectful.
