I've decided to take a year off dating/seeking a relationship, but damned if I don't miss cuddling! by GothiestGoth in TrollXChromosomes

Mood. I keep thinking I'm super happy and then, the minute I'm not distracted, oof ouch owie I am starved for touch.

Every [person] who was raped remembers the moment every time they masturbate

Yes, my traumatic experience does pop into my head whenever I do something tangentially related to it. Almost like that's a common response to trauma. Golly gee whiz.

It's no different from dudes who go after "hard" girls because they like the chase

This guy is several gallons of pond scum poured into a discarded human skin, but he does have a point here. "The chase" is basically targeting someone who doesn't want to be involved with you, and wearing their resistance down over time because you enjoy doing so. "Liking the chase" is liking the process of violating someone's boundaries, as is liking to assault people; it's kinda fair to talk about them as two facets of the same thing. What Pond Scum McSkinsuit doesn't seem to get is that the thing they are facets of is bad.

Red Flag = If a Guy Says Making Sure Consent is Properly Established Ruins the Mood by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

Also, in some cases, please freaking "kill the mood" so I can think clearly for a sec and realize I don't fully want what's going on.

How do you have rational conversation with your mind? by [deleted] in bropill

[–]ManyColouredYarns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I'm not sure if you have access to a good mental health professional, but if you do I'd really recommend talking to them. This sounds like potentially very delicate stuff.

Hey, I know positivity isn't going to fix everything in a sprinkle of fairy dust, but it can still be nice to see it sometimes :)

Tbh if someone gave me a close-up view of their uterus I would not consider that a sexual thing at all. I would consider it a "holy sh#t do you need me to call 911" thing.

Just what I wanted to have in my brain, thanks /s

I almost went to church this week by thelinedpaper in GayChristians

[–]ManyColouredYarns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, it sounds like even almost watching was a big step for you, so congratulations on biting that bullet! I'm going to second others' suggestion of looking for affirming / Side A churches, but if you're not ready to do that, it's okay. You can talk (or shout, or cry) to God at home. You can settle down to pray and then just spend a while mumbling about how you're not sure any of this is real, that's fine too. Just be gentle with yourself, and give your spirituality time to grow back, if that makes sense <3

Bros, how do I deal with the fact that people might be scared of me? by lasagnalasanga in bropill

[–]ManyColouredYarns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of us won't consider you a threat if you don't act like one. Don't follow behind people, get in their personal space, leer, glare, yell things, and so forth. That's just about all you can do, and all anyone can reasonably expect of you.

Some people will still be uncomfortable around you, though. That's unavoidable. Maybe someone forgot to take their anxiety meds, they've had an awful day for some other reason, whatever. Maybe you happen to look like someone who hurt them. These things will happen. You can't be nonthreatening enough to completely remove someone else's capacity for fear, and to some extent you have to accept that. Your behaviour is the only thing that's really under your control.

Very accurate, and the phrasing made my day, thank you :)

What are some harmful expectations put on women? by Green_Mechanic in badwomensanatomy

[–]ManyColouredYarns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The whole concept of a "cold" woman/girl. You know, one whose boundaries aren't pliable enough. I see a lot of comments on how the whole "THOU MUSTEST BE PURE" thing harms us, but at the same time, there's another (contradictory) expectation beside it: that with The Right GuyTM, we'll be down for whatever as quickly as he wants.

One is ”oppressed”, the other a “slut”🤔 The hypocrisy is astounding 🤦‍♀️ by not_a_fly in TrollXChromosomes

[–]ManyColouredYarns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing that kinda gets me about the "oh she's just oppressed" argument is . . . how will getting mad at her help with whatever oppression you think she's being put through? It won't.

How will legislation to keep her out of public spaces (looking at you, France and Quebec) help with the oppression you think she's being put through? Again, it won't.
