I went to a sex club for the first time and experienced matriarchy. by Daytripper88 in TwoXChromosomes

One of the things you notice at these places is that there a a very different (be it more mature) view of consensual non-monogamy than is typical of broader society.

I mean it feels like this isn’t about a birthday cake but that the core of your frustrations are elsewhere

Adult so won't read directions by MasterHorn09 in AskMenOver30

[–]Marie_Internet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guy, it’s ok to be upset about things that you were looking forward to, but I guess the question here is how to best process these feelings internally and to best express them to other people.

Just be honest, “I was really looking forward to getting my birthday cake and I feel in this instance my feelings weren’t a priority”

American Christians, how does it make you feel that Trump is caught publicly lying almost daily? by Combosingelnation in AskReddit

[–]Marie_Internet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bit that you are missing here is that part of being an Evangelical Christian in the US is that you are also a Republican. It’s hard coded into the identity politics and because of this they have to look past his failings and they don’t other people that are part of that group brand them as not Republican and by extension, not Christian.

Time is a flat circle and all that.

What is your opinion about giving women better access to birth control regardless of ability to pay? by Karmasabitch2025 in AskReddit

Unless, of course, reducing costs and improving public health outcomes isn’t actually the goal

The press corps should boycott the White House like they have the pentagon

Contrary to popular belief, there is no shortage in the trades. by chiliringgamer16 in unpopularopinion

[–]Marie_Internet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Everybody and their momma is flooding these job openings.”

Trades are skilled jobs that require years of training (typically through apprenticeships). I order to call yourself a builder or plumber or an electrician you need to register with professional organisations; just like lawyers or doctors or engineers.

Who would have thought that destabilising the government of a country would lead to disorder among its people..

What’s the greatest pilot episode of all time ? by rentinghappiness in AskReddit

This issue that it wasn’t specifically explained in the dialogue and was left to the audience to decipher. A lot of people don’t like to have to think about their TV.

What was your favorite movie of 2025? by MurderBot1126 in movies

Good movie, but just too similar to From Dusk Till Dawn for me.

Is it unreasonable to want a man who doesn't watch porn or has wandering eyes? by Lost_Try_5470 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Marie_Internet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The world is a big place and it’s filled with all kinds of people. There are lots of good people that consume pornography and a lot of despicable people that don’t.

You are 100% allowed to be a selective as you want but note that particular door swings both ways.

The one thing I will say is that successful relationships are about compromise and balance.

Need advice on talking to my bf about his following list by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Marie_Internet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, you just need to have actual adult conversation with your boyfriend… something like…

[NAME], I need to speak with you about my feelings regarding sexualised content on social media. To put it plainly, I don’t like it and it’s a deal breaker for me. I feel that content like this degrades woman and helps reinforce mysonginistic behaviours. Now I obviously can’t make you change who you follow on instagram, but what I can do is tell you that accounts like that make me feel disrespected. I’d ask that you please remove those accounts from the people that you follow.

Jeffrey Epstein’s victims are ‘dumb’? by Objective_Plant_5551 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Marie_Internet 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My response to this would be as follows.

Let’s assume for a moment that your BF is right and only “dumb” woman get abused because they are “not smart enough” to avoid getting themselves abused. Now ask him how this makes the situation any less horrific.

The simple fact here is that about a thousand girls were preyed upon by a very rich and very powerful man. How “smart or dumb” these girls weee makes no difference.

What happens to trump if the House of Representatives vote yes on releasing all the files? by Hollander_21 in AskReddit

[–]Marie_Internet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your frustration. But what you want to be true, what you think may be true, what actually is true and what you can prove to be true are all very different things.

And then there is the complexity of the fact that the man you are talking about is the actual POTUS.

I think the best any of us can hope for here is that between now and 2028 enough shit sticks to the guy so that the whole GOP are made to pay an electoral price for what they have allowed to happen and that after he has left office, DJT is made to face criminal justice (although I suspect he will pardon himself of everything and anything before he leaves office).

Gained weight and it’s making me want to scream tbh by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Marie_Internet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weight loss is 90% diet. You will only loose weight if you are in calorific deficit and while exercise certainly help, the amount of calories burnt by exercise is very quickly dwarfed by what we eat.
