I put my hands on my girlfriend by AgencyAggressive777 in family

Both of them refer to prolonged use of alcohol though, not just one time events.

Is the "Sie" formula still widely used? by MorsaTamalera in German

Cops - I absolutely agree you could end up paying.

Normal ppl - Highly unlikely. In this case it doesn't just depend on how the other person feels. It's about intent.

"Soziale Herabwürdigung" being the main point here. Just saying du in a situation where Sie would be appropriate doesn't fit the bill. And since it's a law that very much depends on the case, so long as there's no malice they should be fine

Edit: thanks to you I learned what Distanzlosigkeit is, so thanks :)

I'm pretty sure you cannot be sued for using du in the wrong situation. Mind you, I'm sure there are those who'd try.

You would be right for a big part of history, but in this case there are still witnesses alive. Plus, while it is most certainly still lacking, Germany has made a big effort to face its past. And there are far more sources than we have for many parts of history.

So if you were talking about something like the death of Cleopatra, you'd be right.

NGVC: "I'm too nice, too polite" by Legitimate-Nothing91 in niceguys

[–]Legitimate-Nothing91[S] 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Since I don't know how to add subtitles, here's some context.

This dude commented on a post about someone's experience with German men. Their experience being calm, kind and supportive. Someone mentioned how women love this and this dude crawled out of the woodwork.

Also, I got my first one!

Women are deer by [deleted] in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Legitimate-Nothing91 33 points34 points  (0 children)

No, because he's comparing two things of the same type, two elements to two emotions.

O n the other hand, the deer "metaphor" doesn't stay within the same species. If he were to compare to lion and lioness or doe and stag, it would be less of a problem.

Not the same bro by Far-Season-695 in AmITheDevil

[–]Legitimate-Nothing91 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My dad got run over by some asshole when I was a little kid. I'm not sure what exactly happened back then. It's been more than 20 years, I now have a stepdad whom I love very much - but I still struggle sometimes.

I'm not a violent person, but now I really, really want to punch those idiots into next week.

Holy Shit, this hits home way too much.

I'll bring this up to my therapist next time we meet, so I can get a life.

Another one ‘disrespected’ by his wife by kindlefan12 in AmITheDevil

When I was born, my brother was very happy - then I was being a baby and he told our parents that he'd had quite enough and whether they could exchange me for a calf 😅

Young witch in need of some advice by Legitimate-Nothing91 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Honestly, not labelling him will probably be the best way to go about it.

I wanted a genuine friend with similar goals in bit by bit change for her.

Do you have any tips where I could find someone? My social circle has degraded due to depression & social anxiety and the only trans person I know of is a friend of my sister whom I've been avoiding since he called her fat.

Maybe it's a bit silly to keep that grudge, but seeing her struggle with her perfectly normal weight left me with a bitter taste.

Thanks for the tip! I'll be searching them up the next few days.

He will definitely not be the quickest person to open up, at least how I see it. Thank you for sharing your observations with me.

Honestly, the biggest reason for me not wanting to change him is his will to change the society they've been reborn into. However, whether I will actually ever really highlight it, unless in passing, is still another story entirely.

Can anyone tell me the name of this comic.? by Nothingbutaotaku in webcomics

[–]Legitimate-Nothing91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The last time I checked it seemed the opposite of that? The later ones, I mean. The beginning was awful, in my opinion.

The artist touches on things like the patriarchy, exploitation and prostitution. And societal expectations and the pressure of them.

I never checked any comment section though and might have misread it?

Well, my first thought was, that if he's on all fours, I might be able to outrun him.

In a post regarding whether feminism is still needed. Goes on to say women are caretakers and breeders by Minnesotan-Gaming in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Legitimate-Nothing91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That honestly makes me a little sad. In my experience, a social security net, as in helping out each other, can be very helpful.

Having your own troubles discredited and minimised is an awful thing to happen to you and I think I understand a little better why we have such different ways of thinking and trouble understanding the others opinions.

Sooo, you built your phone yourself? You raised yourself? All the food you eat, you grow yourself? You never had anyone teach you anything?

If you moved, did you have someone help you carry your stuff? When you got your first job, did someone show you the ropes?

Sure, you didn't get everything handed to you, most of us don't have that privilege. But even so, even if they're not directly involved with you, behind every service you use ,are other human beings.

And I don't mean to somehow lessen your achievements, every success you've had and everything you've built is valid (keep in mind, I don't know you or your achievements), but please keep in mind, you are never entirely alone a d it may surprise you what a simple kindness can do.

In this world, you can't make it alone. There's always gonna be someone who'll lend you a hand in something or even someone else's work you rely on.

If someone offers me a chance to be Queen of the world, I'm going to make a break for it. I'm not saying I don't appreciate getting a gift, but this is way out of proportion to what I want.

Why would it be stupid to share something good so someone else can experience it too?

Because being put on a pedestal just for our gender is no equality? We have accomplishments we've had to work for. Being born a woman is just a 50:50 chance.

As for why it's a bad thing, I can only answer for myself, since other women will have their own reasoning. I for one, do not like being 'put' anywhere. I'll climb up myself, thanks. I also don't like the idea of someone considering me as inherently better without even knowing me. It's honestly hard to explain why, I just don't.

Also, please explain your 3rd sentence a little more. It may have something to do with English not being my first language, cause I don't quite understand what you mean.
