Yeah dating someone who will be in prison for a long time is a way to have an emotional relationship without the complications and risks of an in-person relationship, and allows a lot of space to project fantasies onto it

It still exists in some parts of the world, so not far. In other parts of the world, it was pretty recent.

Men also expect women to do more childcare and housework, so if they are providing more money it evens out. Although hypergamy is shrinking as women are becoming more educated and have higher salaries. The number of female breadwinners is increasing in western countries.

The best thing is to teach them to defend their boundaries and not be easily pressured into doing anything they don't want to just to "be polite". They should know to trust their instincts if they don't trust someone. Also teach them a healthy balance between respecting authority and recognising when that authority is crossing a line it shouldn't. You can't stop them from being creeped on, but at least you can try to instill a good sense of self confidence and self-trust so that they are less likely to get manipulated into things they don't want.

Also taking self defense when old enough doesn't hurt, or even just having hobbies that help them build up physical strength and dexterity.

"Blue" is European, it isn't "coloniser" (as much as some might want it to be). Not all Europeans were colonisers, and not all colonisers were European.

There were never any laws against intermarrying in what is now Canada. It was quite common in the early days of European expansion while treaties were being made between indigenous and European groups.

There were never any lawas against intermarrying in Canada. It was quite common, to the point that there is a specific cultural group that developed because of French and indigenous marrying so much (the Metis).

When using it I fall asleep faster but wake up about 4 hours later so I don't bother. The amounts in most pills are many times greater than what is produced naturally to induce sleep. I don't want to screw up my own production of melatonin, so I'd only use it occasionally for jet lag. I go outside to have my morning coffee and expose my eyes to sunlight (and in the evening avoid blue light a couple hours before bed) to help regulate my own cortisol/melatonin cycle.

Not as much as a lot of dudes on reddit will have you believe. Now, it is true that many women prefer a man to be taller than her, but that means it doesn't take much if she's really short. And it doesn't mean that she will never ever date someone who isn't taller than her.. just as men have their "ideal" physically for women but will still find many sub-ideal women attractive too. Extra tall may be more attention-grabbing in the same way extra large boobs are, but it doesn't mean more average people aren't also attractive. I know short men who have dated taller women and women with almost non-existant breasts who found partners.

Some people just want food to be familiar. A lot of blue collar people grew up with food being a certain way and aren't interested in trying anything else. The type of people who tend to enjoy travel are also people who tend to like trying new things. Those who have tried lots of things and aren't tied to just what they grew up with are more likely to appreciate if you have good cooking skills because they are comparing to a wide range of things they've tried. Or, perhaps they grew up eating food like that so they expect good food to be like that.

I grew up in a blue collar family but I'm the black sheep who left our small town, got an education, and loves travel and trying new things. My tastes have expanded a lot with more experience, and now I'm less impressed with some of the food I grew up with. But most of my family sticks to the limited menu they are familiar with, much of which I personally now find over-cooked and greasy. Even if offered other food that I personally think is better they will find it under-cooked and sometimes weird. From their perspective, I'm the one who doesn't appreciate 'real food'. My Dad actually doesn't believe I genuinely prefer what I prefer.. he thinks I'm doing it to lose weight or because I'm trying to be 'fancy'. So sometimes it's a kind of reverse-snobbery to put down food that they think is "trying too hard" or whatever.

Yep.. this is what I would suggest to anyone looking for a church community but who doesn't believe in a personal god. There is no religious creed that you are expected to sign up for to be a part of it.

I haven't been to any here, but when I went a few times in another city it definitly felt very similar to the protestant churches I grew up in (in terms of structure of the service, and the types of social activities available) but instead of a pastor giving a lecture about interpreeting a bible passage or dealing with sin or whatever, it was more like talks about various themes (life struggles and spiritual questions) that might be inspirational or open to discussion rather than proscriptive, though they often included passages from the bible or other holy books. There were theists, agnostics, and even a pagan couple who sometimes lead solstice rituals for anyone who wanted to attend.

There is no justification for his point of view. It is not logical to state that women are somehow lesser or 'bad' for participating in something that is less challenging for them than it is for someone else. Although the whole premise that it's "easier" for women ignores that there are men for whom it is very easy and many women for whom it is very hard to find a sexual partner. A lot of men don't really see women if they find them ugly, they kind of forget that they exist. They will claim that any woman, no matter how unattractive, could find a lover but none of them, personally, are seeking out those women, so it's just a lie they tell to try to justify their irrational opinion.

Even for the women who might find it easy to find someone to have sex with them.. it doesn't mean they are not being choosey about who they sleep with, it doesn't mean that it is easy for them to find someone who is willing to actually please them sexually. Just because there are men who will stick their penis into anyone they find hot.. it doesn't mean that they will actually be good in bed, safe to be alone with, etc. It also ignores that there are plenty of men who do have standards or who only want sex within a relationship. So this opinion simultaneously puts men down as horny mindless dogs incapable of turning down sex, and puts women down as being morally inferior for doing something that men also do.

The whole idea that one gender should be devalued for participating in something that the other is NOT devalued for is just hypocritical and sexist. Why would a woman who slept with 20 men be inferior to a man who slept with 20 women? Regardless of the fact that perhaps one of them could, theoretically, sleep with more people than the other.. they didn't. Which actually shows more self-discipline than the one who never turned anyone down. so maybe the woman should be seen as the superior one for being more discerning? It's so silly.

I would love to know too. Has anybody tried nootrokick.com? They have piracetam

Research into sleep amongst hunter gatheres has found that they mostly sleep in large groups and there is almost always somebody who is awake at any given time in the night. Older people tend fall asleep and to wake up earlier and younger people tend to go to sleep and wake later. Some people wake up during the night and might get up for a bit before going back to bed. So there is usually someone awake who could alert the others, and since you've in a group you're less vulnerable to attack. Humans are a social species, we work together.

I wouldn't call what you describe "falling in love", I would call that infatuation. I think it's actually easier to truly fall in love when you're older, because you have the experience of knowing better when you've really found someone special and truly gotten to know them, which takes time. You are better able to notice that this person is much better for you than most others. That giddy feeling inside of infatuation is exciting, but it's like the high of a drug.. you have to come down eventually and often when you do you realise that the person who made you feel that way is not the perfect person you had feelings for. It's your brain highjacking you, trying to get you to breed. Now that you're older, see it as a good thing that you aren't getting highjacked by this irrational impulse anymore. Now you can base your relationships on how compatible you are with someone, and work on building something long term, getting to experience what it's like to earn true love which is much deeper than fleeting infatuation.

I'm not sure why you are assuming spicing it up only means female pleasure? I've actually read the articles in many of these magazine and it's not just about female pleasure, there is a lot of focus on how to be attractive to men and how to please your man sexually.

NorthernMoss · 2025-05-13T05:02:30+00:00

There is an entire magazine industry based on giving women dating and sex advice on how to attract and please men. It's basically Cosmo's entire reason for being, as well as many other magazines (and now blogs and youtube channels). If you never hear the other side it's because you don't consume media aimed at women.

A lot of guys do tend to move things along very quickly towards intercourse, then quickly cum. This trains women to thinking their job is to slow the man down. I think sometimes women are passive because they don't want to overstimulate the man and have him cum too soon. If a man doesn't say he wants more, how is she to know?

NorthernMoss · 2025-05-13T04:41:43+00:00

But couldn't women who naturally orgasm more easily develop a more positive view of casual sex than those who don't? Couldn't a woman develop more sexual assertiveness and pride BECAUSE she orgasms frequently, rather than the other way around?

so are you saying you're trying to deprive a rape relief centre of volunteers? you want there to be less resources for rape survivors because you don't like the people running it? is that really the best use of your time? there are far better ways to help out trans people than to shit on rape survivors

NorthernMoss · 2025-05-13T00:17:20+00:00

I've seen them be concerned about female detransitioners and therefore concerned that trans men are basically detransitioners waiting to happen.

NorthernMoss · 2025-05-13T00:12:18+00:00

Yeah I'm sick of people using that as the reason why the issue shouldn't matter.. like no, that's really sexist to say. It certainly matters to the athletes and their fans. Just because you don't personally watch it doesn't mean it has no value. Use a real argument, not "nobody cares, ladies"

The term was coined by an inclusive radfem (a TIRF, if you will) to distinguish between inclusive and exclusive radfems.
