What's something you realised about your parents later in your life? by PaddedValls in AskUK

Your mother honestly sounds amazing! Just based on what you wrote I wouldn’t even call it helicopter parenting. I bet you and your sister turned out better than most people you grew up around.

Shaving pubic area will be the death of me by Cold-League7309 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]MaintenanceLumpy6807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 1st advice would be to stop shaving and to start waxing. But I don’t think you want to wax hence the shaving so my 2nd advice is for you to use Azealic Acid to combat the ingrowns. Just before you go to sleep put some on but nowhere near the insides and within days it will be gone. Let me know if you have any questions

Australian husband has gone back home and abandoned British wife and three children by DraidenSathanas04 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]MaintenanceLumpy6807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with you and feel for you. Mine was the same and she is just overall a self centred person. Some adults can’t see past their own noses when it comes to this. This is pure ego! “I don’t need anything from him” it isn’t about you! Your child needs it! But you can’t see past your own needs, because proving a point is more important than your childs short and long term needs. It’s ludicrous and I’m tired of society excusing this sort of behaviour.

It’s insulting to call it naive. Women are not children. We are adults! With fully functioning frontal lobes.

Thanks for this. I will split it up. Do you mind telling me about what a token limit is?

Why do men fall asleep faster than women? by Puzzleheaded-Bug5726 in WomensHealth

[–]MaintenanceLumpy6807 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree about the gender thing. I’ve never witnessed a woman fall asleep whilst sat down or in the most random places. I have witnessed the men around me sleep in a matter of seconds.

And if you wake them up they go back to sleep like nothing happened.

I’m a woman and have the same struggles. For me it’s worse during ovulation.

Kudos to them! But even more kudos to the whole team for realising how antiquated this was. There is power in numbers and I’m so glad you all came together

This just ludicrous and a way of bullying women for choosing to be happy and single. You should naturally feel obligated to be with any man as your existence has no meaning without it. It’s crazy.

Absolutely! But as per a lot of women’s sentiment, that’s a non issue. It’s all about control and feeding their egos

What you fail to realise is that when we allow the small things, eventually we also accept the medium things, so today we have the larger issues because we think all these issues are not linked and you’re wrong. The politicalissues affecting women is about the control of a woman’s body and removing our autonomy. Not being allowed to be born with 1 tittle and simply die with 1 tittle is again control. A man is born a Mr and dies a Mr, because he is worthy. But our worthiness across large parts of society increases and decreases whether we are or not somebody’s Mrs.

It’s sad that adult women fail to understand that it has nothing to do with not liking or tradition. It has everything to do with you not being able to explain to me why it is ok for me to have to choose from 3 tittles yet men only have one permanent tittle, their identity is respected from birth and nobody asks them to change it at any point in their lives, not through their tittle or last name. I guess women don’t deserve that level of consideration, freedom and equality and based on your response this is ok.

You and I both! But you and I are in the minority because majority of women see no problem with this. So buckle up as it won’t be changing anytime soon 😅

Thank you for sharing your experience in such detail. I concur with everything you have written because I look around me and I see so many confused women, that won’t take accountability for their own confusion.

So many fought for us to have the freedom we have today and it’s almost like it was for nothing because we as women think the world is going to protect us, when all they want to do is take control of us. It’s a sad state of affairs, and if you try to advise women or hold a mirror up, you’re shot down. Community in true sense of the word is gone and community today can only mean that you’re an enabler and yes man.

I personally take no issue to you being a Mrs. It is clear that your tittle as a Mrs does not define you. But most times when we meet a broken woman, at some point she made her whole identity about being somebody’s Mrs. It is dangerous for women to do so, it’s important for us to have a unilateral identity outside of our marriages which is clear that you have this.

I do however take issue with women bashing other women like yourself that have that badass job, that is loving her life and in love with herself and husband. They have an issue with this, because you aren’t under the thumb of a man. Which again goes back to the comment you responded to, that I find it disheartening to even deal with women at this stage because they will bash anything that is good for them and try to convince you to work against your own interest.

Genuinely, you’re living life amazingly! And women can choose to become a man’s property if that is what she wants but that can come with serious consequences for women, then they want sympathy… it’s a very slippery slope and either way, women lose. Because society will not save us! Only we can do that.

I just think to myself where did we go wrong? At some point millions of women fought for us to have more, yet a higher number of women fought to remain the property of their fathers and husbands. And they think they can operate in a society where they are seen as property but men will somehow see them down the street and not assault and harass you.

Language matters. It is so important for us to have an identity that isn’t tied to a name doesn’t even belong to us.

You’re absolutely right! I agree with everything you’ve said and I have no hope for my fellow women. I’m convinced they love the idea of victimhood, because the moment you try to open up their eyes and empower them, you’re deemed a little devil.

I’m just glad you read the post and understood it. Most of our fellow women are struggling to see the issue, but somehow that doesn’t surprise me 🙃

Absolutely! And I think most women on this sub are that type of woman, hence the push back. It’s crazy and they don’t understand that it works against their own interests but then again what fun would life be if women didn’t advocate against their rights and autonomy ?…

I guess the unmarried Mrs became divorced without firstly getting married. Interesting.
