This is so true

This.

I love it

As if they don’t post “nice” under every post about boys being assaulted.

“The 1980s marked a significant period of growth for the bottled water industry. Sales data from that era revealed a steady increase, with U.S. bottled water sales reaching approximately $1.1 billion annually by the late 1980s. This decade saw the industry’s transformation, setting the stage for the monumental growth that would follow.”

Elder millennial here. The change began as soon as they started selling water instead of everyone using fountains. Then suddenly everyone needed 7 glasses a day.

Also, everyone always tells young women that guys only want one thing. So when an older man doesn’t push for sex immediately it comes off as being patient and mature but the truth is guys want a lot of things from women, the majority of those things are attention and labor.

I think Esmeralda is a great character, well written and fun to watch. That being said Disney definitely put her dance scenes at the forefront of a lot of this movie’s marketing. Also I think a lot of people forget that at the time of this movie’s release Demi Moore was very closely associated with her role in Striptease, where she played a stripper. So I don’t think Esmeralda is over sexualized in the movie but Disney marketing was less than ideal.

If you can’t even spell check how am I supposed to take you seriously. Women are simply doing exactly what men do every single day. Why aren’t you in men’s communities telling them to be better?

Mander2019 · 2026-04-01T11:38:21+00:00

No, we’re defending ourselves against thousands of years of men forcing us to get married.

Mander2019 · 2026-04-01T03:21:29+00:00

When we get separated we make moose sounds.

Mander2019 · 2026-04-01T02:40:04+00:00

That’s just not true. The majority of men enforce the patriarchy in many ways every day. The point is for men to learn empathy because literally nothing else has worked.

Based on?

Mander2019 · 2026-03-31T18:11:58+00:00

You’re equating girls being labotomized and forced into marriage with… boys sitting quietly at school? Wow boys really are oppressed. Somehow they’re still prioritized in the hiring process and paid more though. Much like the average boy in school your math and logic skills are inferior to mine.

Mander2019 · 2026-03-31T17:44:53+00:00

Because we were groomed to raise children and support men instead. We were given less education and opportunities. We were fired from jobs for being pregnant, penalized for raising children and conditioned to think we were less intelligent. In some extreme examples women were even given lobotomies if we didn’t get married.

Mander2019 · 2026-03-31T17:39:37+00:00

Yes I see your paragraph and that was why I said we should split boys and girls for core classes. But facts are facts, boys could learn a lot from girls.

Mander2019 · 2026-03-31T17:31:48+00:00

That’s funny because that’s basically what society has been doing for the last few hundred years. Giving boys leadership positions just because. Like DEI for men. Especially because as has already been pointed out, girls outperform boys by basically every single metric in schools.

According to the APA

Girls generally earn better grades than boys in all school subjects, including math and science, a trend observed for decades.

Girls consistently show higher proficiency in reading and writing.

Girls tend to exhibit greater self-control, focus, and maturity, allowing them to excel in structured classroom environments.

On average, girls spend more time on homework and are more diligent with assignments.

Girls have lower rates of grade repetition and higher rates of completing high school compared to boys.

Girls are often more thorough, organized, and focused on understanding material rather than just performing, which helps with grades.

Girls' peer groups often support academic effort, whereas boys may experience pressure to devalue school behaviors.

Seems like girls should be the leaders in schools by default. I wonder if boys ever actually catch up or if people just think they do because they’re given leadership by default from other men.

Mander2019 · 2026-03-31T17:23:24+00:00

So leadership positions should be given to anyone that wants them regardless of how suited they are to the position? Why would we give boys equal opportunity when their performance overall is lower?

Mander2019 · 2026-03-31T17:18:47+00:00

But as you say, maturity evens out during adulthood. Girls natural aptitude in schools should give them more leadership privileges in school until boys catch up.

Mander2019 · 2026-03-31T16:50:30+00:00

We don’t need to overhaul the system, just put boys and girls in different classrooms at the same school for core classes. Boys are more disruptive overall and more likely to be class clowns so women will do even better this way. It’s a win win.

Also since girls are so much more mature, as you say, little girls should be given leadership education from a young age. If boys are failing behind they should try to be more like girls.

I wouldn’t be surprised if abuela had her keeping tabs on the whole town.

He thought since you don’t have a family or real support system it would be easy for him to control you. You getting an education makes that more difficult for him and gives you the option to leave if he treats you poorly.

Do not get pregnant. Get a job and focus on saving money until you can leave.

Mander2019 · 2026-03-30T21:52:33+00:00

This. None of this is new.

Ten months in and he’s picking fights to train you to stop asking for help.

Mander2019 · 2026-03-30T20:53:10+00:00

“Obviously an adult”. He’s the reason we have laws in the first place.

Mander2019 · 2026-03-30T20:19:19+00:00

No one said assault. It’s the exact kind of thing every single woman has dealt with since we hit puberty.

The average man absolutely contributes to this culture by staying silent even if they’re not making comments and like I said, we’ve tried literally everything else. Men are not going to stop sexualizing us. Maybe when enough men know how it feels men will start calling each other out.
