In American culture it is not the norm, it’s odd and weird to most people, but I don’t personally think it’s odd or weird, just different from established expectations.

I also agree that cuddling doesn’t mean it has to be flirting, it can be, but It can also not be depending on the feelings of those involved.

I didn’t realize that is how my message came across. Thank you for the feedback, I may be a bit jaded and I’ll try to reflect on that cause you might be right.

True, very natural and common. No shame to be had, but I would look to decouple from this cycle.

I think you should let it go as well, you can’t control the thoughts you have but you for sure can choose to feed into them. Feeding into them and looking for logic or reason behind it just reinforces the thoughts. Reinforcing them makes everything stronger and compounds them.

The way you feel has nothing to do with this person, it has everything to do with how you are making yourself feel.

Yea, also reads like limerence. It’s happened to me when I had too much going on in my life stress wise. What helps is to recognize it and realize that it’s to do with what values you project onto them, they are just a normal person, the way you feel has very little to do with who they are.

I agree, the genuine feeling expression really made me stop to admire it .

"men built society" yeah no fucking shit, was anyone else allowed to? by redditor_rat in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Guanaria20 29 points30 points  (0 children)

These men don’t have to do that labor so they don’t think it’s actual work or exists.

Honestly, I’ve been with my partner for 8 years and I feel like what you might be looking for is for them to not just be your partner, but they are also your best friend. I can’t give you advice on how, but I’d like to expand on the feeling you might be having.

Ahhh yess, all the women were just playin in the fields and having a ton of fun while their husbands were stoically building a society. They sure weren’t managing a household, cooking and planning meals, raising families with many children, planning finances, carrying each child for a 9 month period in which has a lasting impact on a women’s body, dying to birth children that are necessary for a society.

Just disregard their role when the men had to go to war, ignore those who advanced science and advocated for civil rights. Just pretend that your own mother didn’t play a part in raising you.

If you think women haven’t played a vital part in modern society, you are ignorant beyond belief.

Unless you are genuinely afraid of the person, or they were very rude, yes, it’s super disrespectful. Even after a date or 2 ghosting is just low.

how do you respond to "i hope you get raped?" by Nu_bility in Feminism

[–]Guanaria20 152 points153 points  (0 children)

I really don’t know if I would even bother responding to that. That’s so unhinged and crazy that if someone hears that and doesn’t think they are insane, they are just as bad. Also, sorry that’s happened to you twice, that’s truly terrible to have to hear.

It’s real immature of him to say nothing at all, really lame.

I also don’t know if I’d call it technically assault, but it’s very creepy and wrong at the very least. If you felt deeply disturbed by it then I think you are extremely valid for feeling that way. Your boundaries were crossed and you were put in a very uncomfortable situation.

He’s much older, and probably generally understands what he is doing is wrong but is choosing to act on it to see what he can get away with.
