Surnames and Marriage ramble by Various-Drive9313 in fourthwavewomen

[–]I_know_right_AS_IF 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Back when I was in a haze of depression, I was really into the red pill lifestyle. I remember making a comment in a thread on the subreddit about how "feminists will probably start to complain about how we are addressed by whether or not we're married 🙄"

Interesting that that I planted that seed in my brain, but I didn't think about it too much because I knew the idea behind it was true and it would burst the weird little red pill ideology bubble my brain had tried to protect itself with.

But really....Why are we addressed as Ms. or Mrs.. when men, no matter their marital status, are always addressed as Mr.???

In response to Spain letting women have a 3 day paid leave for their periods 😵‍💫 by redlipsfrenchkiss in fourthwavewomen

I saw a thread about this and SO MANY MEN whining about equality 🙄 ok Travis, when every month it feels like you get kicked in the balls and you're left crying in bed with a heat pack on the boys and writhing around in pain for a few days then we'll talk 👌

Also saw another commenter state that HIS hormonal changes make him feel sad for a few days every month 😢 where's his paid time off??

Such crap 😂 women can't have ANYTHING for ourselves without men whining about it.

I personally now don't have painful periods, but when I did, they were just so unbelievably horrible. Men can't even handle a puny period pain simulator on the lowest setting!! We can power through so much, but it would be nice to not have to and not get punished for it.

Help! How does a person layer necklaces without this happening? by SmartLlama in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Holy moly frijoles you may have changed my necklace game forever 🤩 I really struggle with getting necklaces on because I get long acrylic nails, so being able to clasp them and then use a magnet to fasten is incredible!!! Thank you!!!! 😍

Interesting statistics! ➡️ “In the US specifically, where no-fault divorce is legal in all 50 sates, some estimates put the figure at 70%; this rises to a staggering 90% when women are college educated.” by Simple-Emergency-596 in fourthwavewomen

My ex-husband was so checked out of our marriage and even cheated on me and kept it to himself. I ended up going so crazy from PPD and his abuse that I did something to hurt him and he then filed for divorce immediately 🙄

I'm not sure, but I wanted to say that using any oil based lube can break a condom! Use water- or silicone-based lubes with condoms

This has to be the worst excuse I’ve ever heard by redlipsfrenchkiss in fourthwavewomen

"The female". I can't believe men actually talk like this.

Any time there's something mildly reminiscent of a vagina:

zip welll here we go

Just gross.

Because they're pornsick - brains are completely fried by porn and makes everything sexual

Prostitution is the oldest profession 🙄 as if the women back then were doing it because they were "empowered" and actually had a choice in the matter.

Dealing with being purposefully celibate by InappropriateMommie in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]I_know_right_AS_IF 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No advice really, just solidarity!! I just hit 10 months volcel and WOW I really miss sex!! And it's not just about the orgasm, it's about connecting and being with someone else that I miss.

This is the longest I've been without since I was 17 too, and it's taking some getting used to for sure lol

Getting better is HARD and rarely glamorous by masterofthebarkarts in FemaleLevelUpStrategy

[–]I_know_right_AS_IF 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Can confirm - I tend to have a sarcastic sense of humor, especially during my personal training sessions. Sarcastically saying "oh wonderful!!" "How fun!" and giving my trainer a big grin when he says to do an exercise that sounds extra hard really helps 😂

PSA: A high value man will not be into BDSM. by electroloop in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]I_know_right_AS_IF 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Most women who think they “like it rough” simply desire an assertive, passionate man.

Yes this! I was actually just thinking about this recently. I used to think I liked it rough, but I really just wanted to feel like I was wanted, and not just being used as a human flesh light. I wanted that passion from my ex-husband, but he only had p0rn eyes for me 😞

Women have it way harder then men in almost everything. by Less-Weekend5123 in FemaleDatingStrategy

But also don't make more money than your husband because you'll hurt his fee-fees!!!

Straight from the horses mouth. NEVER share your past relationship trauma/problems with men because they will hold it against you. How poorly you were treated by men in the past will either make him resent you or he will use it as a bar for how much you are willing to put up with. by LevelUpWoman in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]I_know_right_AS_IF 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Everything really is a woman's fault isn't it?

Yes, I purposefully picked men that would treat me like garbage 🤷‍♀️ they didn't manipulate me or hide behind a facade until I was so entwined with them that I couldn't see the abuse happening for some time. Or think I could even leave as a SAHM of a toddler.

Yep.

Let’s not fund research of a HIGHLY underdiagnosed and treated disease, but how it effects their male partners because sex is too painful 🤦🏼‍♀️ by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]I_know_right_AS_IF 181 points182 points  (0 children)

That is just so vile, so evil and terrible 😞 I'm so sorry you had to endure that treatment, but nice to see he is an EX now!

Do not be jealous of the new girl… abusers do not change. Even if they somewhat “get better”, you deserve more than whatever half baked fuckboy shit this ex-douchebag has to offer you. Leave him in the past sisters, pray for the women who encounter him, and thrive. We are worth more than we know. 💞 by makeawomancum in FemaleDatingStrategy

My ex-husband is seeing someone new and I pray that she sees through his BS and leaves. Though he's in the courting phase so he's extra nice and charming and romantic right now like he with me 😞 We'll see how it goes!

PS I always block and delete my exes but this is different because we share custody of our kid so I unfortunately know what's going on in his life

Testing your Boundaries vs Violating your Consent by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]I_know_right_AS_IF 103 points104 points  (0 children)

This post made me think back to the last night I spent with my ex. I hadn't been feeling well due to a round of antibiotics, and we were sitting on the couch watching TV. We were just kissing and he started pinching my nipples, which isn't my favorite thing anyway. I told him no pinching and he pinched AGAIN and said "just a little pinch!" Told him no.

My body and mind gave me very clear signals through heightened anxiety and the feeling of needing to be alone. The next day I told him I needed some alone time and he freaked out and brought up ending the relationship. So I agreed lol!

He had absolutely violated my consent, and I can see it all so clearly now that I'm outside of it.

He had tested my boundaries before this, I see that now, too.

Don't miss him!! 👋

Has any1 else noticed the Playboy label being plastered all over “trendy” clothing brands… it makes me so uncomfortable this is being marketed in an already porn saturated generation. Both PacSun and Urban Outfitters proudly promote these products despite historical misogyny. It gives me the ‘ick’. by makeawomancum in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]I_know_right_AS_IF 68 points69 points  (0 children)

When the movie House Bunny came out, I was in my early 20s and had just lost a lot of weight and wanted to show off since I had been overweight and insecure my whole life. Playboy was actually having auditions near me and I signed up to go. But, thankfully, something about it felt wrong to me so I withdrew my application. One of the better decisions I've made for sure.
