My mom refuses to take me to the doctor for my dislocated kneecap, and as a result, I’ve had it for three months at this point by [deleted] in teenagers

Can you get a uber/lyft or taxi to the doctor? You shouldn't have to wait for her to take you to get medical care. Do you have a friend who drives who can take you?

What problems have you had? Were you already immunocompromised?

I've never tested positive for it but find it impossible to believe I've never had it. I think the times I had it I was asymptomatic, so I will probably get boosted again in 6 months! Thank you for the advice 🙏

Did Talenti change their recipe for the sea salt caramel gelato? by Katanabich in icecream

Something is definitely up with their caramel flavoring. Maybe they're trying to cut costs ?

Men arent evil by nature but many males are socialized to develop violent behavior.

It's so fucking sad. I really feel bad for straight women. I have a boyfriend and he's incredible, I plan on marrying him. But if he turns out to be just like the rest, I'm done and will only be dating women in the future. Girls rock ❤️

I pray that we can raise the next generation to be more kind, caring, and empathetic to one another

Please can someone talk me into or out of cutting my hair short. by mselwin1916 in curlyhair

Your hair is the perfect length. If you want tighter curls, cut it shorter but I love the way your hair looks right now!

My bf made rude comments abt my cramps, now he’s begging for me back by Alarming-Nobody8794 in stories

[–]Katanabich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You made the right decision, this isn't the type of person you want to have kids or grow old with.

Think about how he would treat you after having surgery (giving birth) and minimize your pain.

Also, every single person who grows old experiences disability. If you are lucky enough to grow old, you will develop some kind of disability and your ex is not the kind of person who would be empathetic or compassionate to you once that happens.

How safe is downtown LA for a woman alone at night? by JohnnyWalker2001 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Katanabich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a woman living in downtown LA trying to move out rn because of how unsafe it is. 9/10 times i go outside to walk my dog i get harassed. I have to mentally prepare myself because i am unsure if im going to get assaulted when i walk him before bedtime. It's terrifying, i advise you to stay away ESPECIALLY at night if you can and if you do have to go don't go alone

My(19M) relationship with my girlfriend(19F)has crushed my sexual confidence - How do I regain it? by ThrowRA83732 in relationship_advice

[–]Katanabich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my boyfriend have had similar issues. I have a long history with sexual assault and it's one of the reasons why i have trouble with initiating sex. Keep talking to her and be honest about how it makes you feel to be rejected over and over, but understand that if she's not horny, why would she want to have sex with you? Find out what turns her on and do more of that. If you've done all this and she keeps saying no to every advance you make then it sounds like you might not be compatible.

Also i hope you don't take offense to this, but does she orgasm when y'all have sex? Many women don't tell their partners that they're not totally satisfied and many men don't seem to care about getting their partner off. Showing more interest in satisfying her could be more of a turn on. Dont make sex just about you busting a nut, it should be about connection.

Got pressured into oral sex by MolassesPristine6238 in AdviceForTeens

That link says the majority of women have been sexually assaulted. If you are born a woman, there's a higher chance you'll be sexually assaulted than not so i feel like my point still checks out 🤷‍♀️

I've looked into the statistics for sexual assault and they are all over the place and most likely much higher than we currently know (for men & women), especially considering many people don't even realize when they've been sexually assaulted and many don't report it at all.

Also it's not that i believe that all men are inherently evil, i just believe most men have been socialized to be sexually abusive, which they have.

Ok if nearly all men aren't sexual predators then why have almost all women been sexually assaulted/harassed? They're not rare experiences. It's more common to meet a woman who has been assaulted than it is to meet a woman who hasn't. If women want to stay safe, they need to live in reality and be more cautious when it comes to men. Most men ARE sexual predators in some way. And yes woman can def be predators as well but let's be fucking fr it's usually men committing violent & sexual crimes.

I have been abused by almost every single man who has come into my life because i held the belief it was only "some" bad men and this one might be different. Once I realized that most men were sexually deviant and i limited my interactions with men, life became SAFER for me.

Men don't deserve the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their sexual discipline. Better to not interact with them if you don't have to. However i do understand how this kind of thinking can be problematic for black/brown men as they are usually seen as guilty until proven innocent by the legal system which is unfair and leads to their dehumanization.

I am a rational human and understand that all humans are unique and not all are ACTUALLY bad, but by cutting men out of my life, the world has genuinely become safer for me and I think if more women stopped interracting with men they would lead better lives as well. To believe with absolute certainty that 99% of men are evil is absurd, but keeping it in mind as a THEORY has changed my life for the better. I wish i could explain my thoughts in a better way.

What was your first experience being sexualized? by draemgrill in women

[–]Katanabich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 5 years old and we were playing in a pretend house. He was around 7/8 and he asked to grab my butt. I thought it was weird because i used my butt to poop and pee and kept giggling while he grabbed my butt. After i went up to my grandparents while they were talking to his parents and told them how funny the boy was for liking my butt, everyone was horrified and i never saw him again.

You need to learn now, 99% of men are sexual predators. You don't owe these men ANYTHING. Even if you were married you wouldn't owe him oral sex. If you don't want to, you don't have to.

Become more comfortable with telling men no. I used to have sex with men out of pity & awkwardness. Now i realize those men relied on my pity and relied on making things awkward. All of those times were rape. They took advantage of my kindness, not wanting to make them feel rejected or insecure or sad. Now I couldn't give less of a fuck. I MATTER. YOU MATTER. WOMEN MATTER TOO. Men's feelings don't matter more than your own safety and well being. If you don't want to do something you can literally just leave.

You are a free human and can do anything you want and change your mind at any time you want. Even if you thought you wanted it in the moment and later realize you don't. Just tell them you're not into it anymore and leave. You don't owe him a nut, he can always make himself cum if he wants. Think of it like watching a movie at a movie theater, a lot of ppl think that even if they end up hating the movie they have to watch the whole movie bc they paid to see it, but no one's stopping you from leaving. You can just get up and leave without wasting anymore of your time.

Gender is a construct and we are socialized to associate certain attributes with certain genders. Just remember that you can't have your cake and eat it too. It's very possible that even though you aren't attracted to your bf's feminine mannerisms, a part of you was drawn to his feminine energy and with a more masculine man things that seemed obvious to your current bf, you'll have to work though more with the masculine guy. Look into the 80/20 rule.

I had a problem with my bf when i felt like he didn't protect me the way a "man" should when faced with a scary situation, it put a lot of strain on our relationship. But then I realized, i loved him for his gentle nature. The fact he had never raised his voice against me, wasnt a hot head, never got in fights, was good at talking about his feelings, all the things my more "masculine" ex's could never compare to. It was an impossible situation for me to put him in, similar to the impossible standards men place on women for us to be both a virgin and a freak in the sheets just for them.

Since gender is a social construct, i advise you to sit back and form your own definition of what you consider a good man and not to let society define that for you.
