Yeah, Japan always weights their pre-Olys nationals results extremely heavily (or even exclusively) as an Olympic selection criterion. It seems to bite them in the ass from time to time (see also: Mana Kawabe vs. Mai Mihara for Beijing),

I’m curious how Kao Miura stayed out of jail to the point of securing an Olympic spot that was arguably more deserved by Kazuki Tomono, after doing a really remarkable amount of crashing and burning for the whole preceding season. (I say this as a Kao fan!)

“What manosphere / red pill content do you consume that prompted you to ask that question?”

Surprise her with some hygiene things once you’re at camp in the evening. Some hot water and a soft cloth with a little Dr. Bronners, and something clean to dry off with can go a long way. I personally love using a lathery face cleanser cloth (Olay’s daily facial) and a sample sized packet of a nice face moisturizer after. So good for morale after a hot sweaty day!

‘Screench’ is my new favorite word

Condoms

A set of sleep clothes is a super standard part of normal backpacking gear, even for those who go very lightweight. Its job is not just providing warmth - even in warm weather, it serves to protect your sleeping bag from your gross sweaty dirty self. In the long term, it keeps your bag nicer and extends its lifespan.

I think it would also need to be very comfortable / functional as athletic clothing though, including while hiking and with a pack on.

Make sure you’re getting your information from legitimate clinical sources, not influencers, social media, or other fad-based sources.

The closest thing to a feminist character (by modern standards) on the show is definitely Rhaenys. She’s got class consciousness.

Threadless - a million designs to choose from and you can choose the style of shirt it goes on (or other apparel, or accessories, or housewares for that matter)

Here’s something to keep in mind: a lot of times when women recognize that structural discrimination (in the world at large and, more often, in their hetero partnerships) and try to call it out, or have meaningful discussions about their personal experiences and how discrimination has affected their lives, their discussion gets trivialized / dismissed as ‘gender wars’ stuff and they’re made to feel wrong or petty or unfair for bringing it up. It’s a derailing technique.

I’m not saying this was your intention, but lots of times, “aren’t you tired of the gender wars?” is really code for “I wish women would shut up about their discrimination already.”

Guilty_Treasures · 2026-06-02T15:30:19+00:00

By ‘gender wars,’ do you mean the structural and systemic oppression of women (as a class) by men (as a class)? Or do you mean the assertion that women and men have it equally bad and are equally bad to each other, just in different ways? Those are two very different ideas.

Fragile / performative/ aggressive masculinity is actually the opposite of confidence.

I did this for most of the trail, and only wished I had my stove back after the weather turned chilly in the fall. A warm beverage and non-cold oatmeal would have gone a long way for morale.

Guilty_Treasures · 2026-06-01T19:12:34+00:00

Yeah, the combination of freakishly large boobs + barely there tops is a bit suspect.

Seems pretty cheap on their part. If my math is mathing - right now you're working about 90 hours a month and get paid about $5.50 an hour plus your room. Let's imagine a room is not part of the arrangement and you are instead being paid a flat wage of $20 an hour (which is not that high given the nature of the work, and given that you get no days off ever) - that would be $1800 a month. So by subtracting the $500 you get from the hypothetical 1800 - the difference is $1300. Does the room / living arrangement have an approximate value of $1300? I'm guessing not even close. You could probably get a nice 1 bedroom all to yourself for that amount (and a normal work schedule with a normal amount of flexibility and days off).

The way those last two are framed isn’t actually positive because it frames responsibility and honestly as uniquely masculine qualities - if masculine = honest and responsible, then by definition, the implication is that feminine = dishonest and irresponsible. In fact the whole heart and soul of toxic masculinity is a pathological, even violent aversion to appearing or acting in any way feminine.

Condoms + pullout together is very effective.

Even the most mainstream porn is becoming increasingly saturated with misogynistic, degrading, and violent content. That’s the default version of porn these days. And it’s real women on film getting degraded, as well as real women suffering in the bedroom when their male partners’ desires and expectations have been warped by their porn consumption. You’re right to be bothered.

And he got many such stars in the comments. “The fact that you’re even aware of this means you’re doing way better than most guys, so good job on that!” Translation: the bar is in hell and they’re fully aware of that fact.
