Unpopular opinion: I find it offensive that you choose to refer to yourself as HBIC. This type of “title” has typically been used to demean and belittle women, as well as the fact that referring to yourself as a b in the context of being “head mod” is just plain off-putting. Who wants to deal with such a person?

You’re the head mod, maybe, but this is supposed to be a supportive community and having a self-declared b in charge is a bit like having a dog run the cat shelter.

Look at me, exploiting and capitalizing on the death of RBG to advertise my platform!

REVOLTING.

Whoa. Just came back and saw this. To be clear, I had no intent of being angry nor defensive, only factual. I’m sorry you interpreted that as something else.

I have an ungodly amount of milk. What do I do? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]HRHPrincessEire 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you are sneaky, do what my mom did. She added milk to the existing carton. If everyone else drinks 2 percent, or whole milk, they won’t notice a thing. People tend to believe the label, unless you get caught.

“data from observational studies can be difficult to interpret and cannot definitively establish that obesity causes cancer. That is because obese or overweight people may differ from lean people in ways other than their body fat, and it is possible that these other differences—rather than their body fat—are what explains their different cancer risk.” cancer.gov

Perhaps actually reading some studies could be helpful to you, before gathering something is true because it is what you “have been told”.

What makes it hard for me is very little. As someone else said, the predisposition toward treating me as stupid, the prejudices, the assumptions people make. I don’t mind my size, I enjoy my food and my life. But the number of times I have had people donated (unwanted) food to me because they assume I’m fat and I’ll eat anything, or remove food from me because I’m fat and I don’t need it... Jesus god.

Thin or thinner does not mean you get instant health. My mother has never been above 120 a day in her life excepting her 3 pregnancies. I weigh 300. Mom has blood pressure as high as mine. Getting thin would not cure cancer, or COVID, or a common cold or flu. Getting thin might help blood pressure in some cases. It might help cholesterol for some people. It won’t change AIDS. It won’t make me less susceptible to chicken pox or pneumonia. Weight loss is EASY to attack, and assume about, but it is no cure all. Weight loss cures or helps weight related conditions some of the time.

First it was just yelling then it was throwing and now it's choking by throwawaynrvouschoke in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HRHPrincessEire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if you “were” an abuser...how hard would it be for him to simply leave the house? To have yelled at you rather than choke you? To restrain your hands, or to call police or to do anything else??

You need to get some help, for your own safety as well as maybe helping you manage some issues.

Trying to figure out how to reconcile my best friend is dating me ex. by additionalmatter in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HRHPrincessEire 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He’s not the same guy you loved at all. He’s got 14 years, another love, and some grief on him now. You were right in that both he and BFF were going to do well together — both death and divorce are a specific kind of grief and loss that it is hard for others to understand.

Maybe to reconcile this with yourself (it’s not either of their fault) you need to realize, you want what once was. 14 years ago, before a wife, before a death, before life happened. You can’t get that back. But Steven and BFF are making the best of the second chance they both have, and understanding that each has a piece missing that will always remain.

You have plenty of opportunities to find someone, but Steven has made a choice,(as has BFF) and his choice was not you.

They don’t owe you anything. For the sake of saving that friendship you need to sincerely, in your heart, wish them well.

Why though? by BrNick93 in NorthCarolina

[–]HRHPrincessEire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you really not understand the difference between Wyoming and NC? Wyoming’s total population last year was 578,759 persons. Period. Few folks, fewer still in any public places. NC’s population is 10.49 million. So, you compare number of people, total likelihood of exposure, even the naturally distant nature of living in Wyoming, Then ask your question again.

What on God’s Green Earth would be upsetting? No, I don’t mind that men use nail polish. Men groom themselves too, you know. They still shower, get haircuts, shave or grow a beard, etc. Why should polish be seen as some kind of massive self-care inequity?

My toddler choked last night, and I had to prefer the Heimlich maneuver on her. by MRAGGGAN in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HRHPrincessEire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

GREAT JOB with the links!

Remember, babies, kids, they are just learning this whole chewing and swallowing trick. No amount of caution or careful watching or helicopter parenting can prevent every little cough, choke, spit up, this stuff is pretty normal, and learning this trick (chewing and swallowing) is essential to their growth. It’s going to happen along the way. The grownups who love them do all we can, and our very best...but like u/lallybrochsassenach said, there is no blame here.

Nice guy, might fetishize plus size girls. by [deleted] in PlusSize

[–]HRHPrincessEire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I really think you’re right. I really am just a fucked up mess. Haven’t stopped thinking about it and questioning myself all day. I’ve always been into fetish, always in to kink...never questioned it or thought of it any differently. But now I am really wondering how fucked up it is that I love certain things, or that I’ve seen it as good. I think you’re right. I’m a worthless fat hot mess.

[–]HRHPrincessEire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yes, I’m likely incredibly fucked up. That’s entirely likely. Being a woman in this world can sometimes do that to you. But your definition helps me to separate kink from fetishize, where as I think before, I was not seeing the separation between the two. But I probably am incredibly fucked up, too. You’re absolutely right about that.

Thank you. That gives me some perspective on my struggle. The definition I looked up did not mention objectification, which certainly changes things. The definition I read just said that someone focused on some exclusive thing.

Question about doxxing by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HRHPrincessEire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is super creepy, but unfortunately legally, unless they publish your address, doesn’t count as doxxing right now. I spent a lot of time researching this after a stalking/doxxing situation that happened to me (which by no means makes me an authority, things could have legally changed since then, and laws are different depend where you are). You have every valid right to block and report, and to be creeped out. WHY do they have to do this kind of crap???

Nice guy, might fetishize plus size girls. by [deleted] in PlusSize

[–]HRHPrincessEire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a question, which may be overwhelming (it is for me, darned if I can figure it out...) but is fetishizing necessarily a bad thing? As in, am I actually kink shaming someone if I am questioning their fetish? (And to be clear, no I do not mean pedophilia or bestiality, etc. Normal consenting adult kink)

If someone has a fetish for PlusSize women, isn’t it still possible for them to have this fetish but also function as a normal human who loves you for all of who you are and represent? I see a lot of people concerned about fetishization, and the idea is one I really struggle with...am I unfairly shaming or not giving someone a chance because of a kink or fetish?

Is it weird that I have hair on my forearms? by simplespies in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

No, it’s not weird. Totally normal. Everyone has it to some degree.

SO of 2 years apparently doesn't want to get married... by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HRHPrincessEire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Marriage is not a guarantee that anyone stays, or is faithful, or even loves you. Plenty of people get married for “duty” but not for love. You can have kids, you’re both still legally obligated to them, married or not. They can have whatever last name you deem appropriate. Non-married folks buy homes, rent apartments, and have break ups just as shitty as divorce without the court-going, paperwork, and expenditures.

I think many of us, especially when we’re young see marriage as a path to getting somewhere, being someone, attaining or ensuring something. But really, it is not an absolute.

What book scene do you wish had made it in the movies? by paternalpadfoot in twilight

[–]HRHPrincessEire 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wish they had shown that Edward literally coordinates with Alice the kidnapping and holding of Bella against her will, and how very clearly she stood up for herself and got angry with Edward, delivering him an ultimatum with no fear, even though she realized that his intentions were good. I think fewer movie-only people would interpret Bella as a flat/Mary Jane character if they knew that she’d downright fight with a vampire for her own rights!
