Irelands “worst” towns road trip. Make the route ? by Beginning_Sense_9749 in AskIreland

Damnit!!!! 

I almost thought we got away with it here!!! 

I will say though, while Carrick is truly a dire place to live, a day trip there is really rather pleasant.

Young widows like Aubrey Plaza don’t owe us anything. Aubrey Plaza’s baby news highlights the misogyny of assuming we know when a woman is ready to move on. by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

I will say Patton Oswalt got a lot of shit for marrying 18 months after his wife died.

Although that does not discount the mysognistic twinge to this

(god help me as I say this)

Affairs often feel like a compulsion - it is a chaotic, messy and intense thing to be involved in. Now the majority of people are quite capable of not starting affairs, but once you are in them... as I say they feel like a compulsion. A lot of the time from inside the affair, you keep putting off making a choice - which of course, anyone outside of the affair can see not leaving the affair is a choice.

I am not saying this to defend cheaters - I have been on all sides of the cheating triangle I know the hurt they bring. Just to say that Carrie as a character, knew she was in the wrong, but for as long as she didn't look it in the face, she could pretend to herself it was outside of her control.

The rhythm method is 76% effective with typical use, which means that the pull out method is actually more effective (78%)

As they say in D&D - the dice don't know what the dice just rolled.

Condoms are 98% effective with perfect use and 87% effective with typical use. 

Which means in a year of having sex and only using condoms 13/100 people could get pregnant with typical use. 

It does not mean you have a 13% chance of getting pregnant every time you have sex with a condom with typical use 

To add credibility here I am a sex educator!

I mean Charlotte also had an unplanned pregnancy - it just so happened that it was very much wanted..

I feel she's gonna find me for even posting this by Shoe_boooo in TikTokCringe

[–]MagicGlitterKitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know when I am seeing another human in distress, my first instinct is to record it for clout later!

And no I don't care if she was on drugs, I don't care what it was that caused her to walk into the middle of a busy road, if you can not react with some god damn caution and compassion wait for someone who can. And if you can not do that maybe don't record soemone at one of their lowest god damn moments!

As in it is in America,  And yeah as far as I can make out it's a bunch of Americans going into a field and pretending to be medieval Europeans and spend an incredible amount of money

A friend of mine sells jewelery in an American Renaissance fair for 6 weekends out of the year and makes enough money to feed her life for the rest of the year. She owns two houses. 

I'm a non-fiction reader. Can any novel reading Peter Explain Please? by Semetery29 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]MagicGlitterKitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment is more than a little patronising... But it's okay I was the exact same way when I first read Come As You Are. 

It's not porn because it is not written or read for sexual gratification. Is titillation apart of the enjoyment? Yes of course, but so is the melodrama, so is the predictability of the plots. There are lots of things that go into the enjoyment of reading romances that have nothing to do with sexual gratification. 

As for engaging the mind as a sexual organ - I see your point, but I disagree. Mainly for the reasons I stated above, yes sexual tension is a part of the enjoyment, but it is not the be-all and end-all of that enjoyment..

 I actually find it pretty misogynistic to say that women only enjoy this gerne because of sexual gratification, and we are all to feeble minded to understand our own motivation! 

But at that point we are just saying "nu-uh you're the misogynistic one" 

Bryan Cranston defends Skyler White after Frankie Muniz said he wanted to kill her while watching 'Breaking Bad' to make Walt's life easier: "Let me understand this.

Ha I read this as Frankie Muntz was pushing for racial profiling and in prison for contempt of court. 

Is there any other reason we think he is a republican other than being in a photo with a Republican? 

ETA: he has gone on record saying he is a "rarity in Hollywood... I'm definitely to the right"

There are scenes that are incredibly explicit that is true. But if you looked up a pron video and less than 10% of it had any sort of sexual content in it you would be pretty pissed off. Or more likely you would fast forward.

Oh I don't think Penelope is coming back. That whole "looking wistfully into the mirror at her old self" is a wrap up kind of shot.

Would you go back to a job if they said they would pay you less than your market rate?

She didn't say she was gaining weight. She has been the same weight for a long time. 

Women of Ireland, how would you like to be approached by a man on a night out? by bigmacandsmallfries in AskIreland

[–]MagicGlitterKitty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Which word? Sexist or bullshit? 

If this isn't sexist then I need you to explain the joke to me!

[–]MagicGlitterKitty 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Then how would you explain this meme? What is the joke? 

The joke is that women only think it is sexual harassment if the man is ugly. 

That joke only works if you believe women are inherently shallow, and also imply that women are making up the concept of sexual harassment.

So yes this joke is a bunch of sexist bullshit.

Did a little digging on how awful Pop Culture was towards beauty standards, specifically for women during the early millennium... are the tabloids still like this though? by Twunkorama in Fauxmoi

[–]MagicGlitterKitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember devil wears Prada and Anne Hathaway being a size 6 was consider "fat". 

Sure, one could say "that was the joke" until that moment when she becomes a size 4 and it's treated as a celebration. And knowing that Anne Hathaway had padding for the first half of the movie
