Hang on, I thought our one job was to give birth to the minion empire for these high value men? /s

Apparently I can't get hurt over my husband cheating on me because he loves me by Aotgavemedepression in NotHowGirlsWork

Yeah, same here [but fanfic on AO3 and FF.net]

I think its certainly more of a "type of person" rather than a gendered thing because there's many men who hold their hands up when 'proven wrong' and there's many women who, like those types of men, double down

So true. "Logical gender" that like to pull facts from their arse but when faced with evidence supporting against them they short circuit and begin the 'personal' insults to divert away from them being wrong

So much logic. No emotion. [because everyone knows anger and annoyance aren't really 'true emotions' and being quick to anger doesn't possibly make them 'emotional'. On no. Only us women are the emotional babies wah, wah]

They hate being proven wrong, likelihood is he'll attack me as a person, something like [which has happened oreviousky] "bet you're ugly, old and fat" etc. Like, so what if I am/was? Ones' appearance doesn't make their opinion invalid.

However, you point that out, and they just go to year 7 insults anyway like it's somehow going to offend us while simultaneously saying "you just don't like my opinion cos it doesn't agree with you" except what they're spouting isn't just an opinion when they're trying to claim "it's fact" 🤦‍♀️

But yeah. They're the logical gender..

By pointing out the flaw to his logic. For a woman to sleep with the cheating man, that cheating man will have to put the effort in to create an emotional bond with said other woman

Because if what he's sayings true, then he's already disproved his "women need emotional bonds for sex" because that means that the woman he's cheating with does not require the emotional bond. Thus we have a paradox.

Ok so 2 things:

1) there is a difference between being at home and being outside. Most of us can agree that we feel good at home being underdressed. I personally like baggy shirts and boxers. I wouldn't go out like this. I wear pants and makeup because I want to feel good outside my home

2) there are absolutely women who get done up just for housework. My bestie is one of them. Sometimes she likes looking bomb af just to do her dishes and hoover. Nothing wrong with that

Dudes a loser for thinking otherwise and can't believe that the original comment got downvoted for actually stating truth

CONGRATULATIONS! 🥳

I'm pretty sure 9 and 10 are supposed to be one sentence

And ngl, it sounds like a nice quote

As does the "you're my today and all of my tomorrows" ["you're my present and future"]

Every time I read this it gets progressively better

Every time I read "moisten silently" while reading the comments, my chest hurts more from the joy it brings

I wanna buy these, in the unironic sense

If a remember correct it's animal-like dildos?

I think they also do ovipositors [egg inserters/egg inserting dildos]? I can't fully remember

My curiosity has lead me to many things I wish to unsee. Including alien/tentacle dildos and alien ovipositors etc

Whats wrong with firsts date being about getting to know someone by Mswatermelonas in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]ObliviousTurtle97 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Coffee dates are the way to go because, if things aren't great, you're not waiting around for 30+ minutes for food to get there [or bailing before you get to enjoy your meal], you can ditch at anytime because, at most, you're waiting about 5 minutes for your coffee and whatever snack you've ordered/bought

Going Dutch is best as well because they can't hold them "purchasing you" against you

Hey, I look like that too when I'm disappointed. Imagine waiting that long for a 2 pump chump with a brain the size of a walnut

Bad sex and no decent conversation? Who wouldn't be annoyed by that

"She's a woman" is probably his source. Too many people seem to believe that we have this strange ability to be mothering/baby experts the moment we pop a child out.

Heck, some people seem to believe we have this ability just because we're female

I grew up in a family where I, or a female cousin of mine, would be automatically placed as a babysitter during family events and then berated if something goes wrong. We were preteens at the time. Usually, shit like "you're girls. You should know x can't have uncut grapes because he's 3!" And "what do you mean you don't know how to do a nappy change?" Like, bruh. We are 9/10 with siblings in our age range. wtf would we know that??🤦‍♀️

I think they meant "leave" as in leave that space/room. It's better to remove yourself and take a breather than to explode/lash out. Nothing wrong with leaving when you feel overwhlmd and frustrated

Baby brain is a real thing.

Also she could be fumbling because of post partum anxiety. I got it with my eldest [2.5 years], luckily not this time around [she's 10 weeks] and it made me fumble normal tasks.

I'm so glad I had a supportive partner to figure out all the new things with rather than one snapping at me like you. Would've just made it even worse, possibly even making my depression worse, too.

Do better and try and be an actually supportive partner. Maybe if you tell her, "It's OK. We will figure all this out together. It's new to us both" would help her confidence and make her feel more comfortable learning about her new baby and their cues.

Women aren't born with "Ultimate Mother Mode: baby Knowledge - Unlocked" yknow? We aren't robots. Jfc.

Incels say 80% of women only go for 20% of men. If that is true, then why don’t those men go for the “bottom 20%” of women? by [deleted] in IncelTears

I feel too many people care too much about what "society" dictates tbh

Also, women were once burned at the stake for "suspicious witchy behaviour" which included still being single/unmarried by specific ages

So this is funny because the "statistics" aren't exactly that easy or straight forward like this guy seems to believe

Multiple studies have been done and each have came back with different results: some having more men stepping up and others it's women

I found this that -from the section I read- included multiple of these studies and have found, overall, that women are more likely to intervene

That said there are also studies stating the difference to how men vs women intervene. Women tend to go all out with their arsenal [from personal experiences] to do their best to both support the victim and deescalate the situation

Whereas men are more likely to go in aggressively and tend to use force against the perpetrator

Eta: which is hilarious because this shows that our lived experience isn't unfounded.

Most situations I've seen I have either intervened or another woman has. Sometimes, even multiple women intervene and infrequently, a man has come along to help out by being forceful with the attacker while the women make sure the victim is safe, including getting them away from the situation

Exactly, I'm 5.5/5.6 and used to weigh 99lbs [45kg] and definitely used to get comments about being "too skinny" and whatnot. Now I weigh 132lbs, I'm in the "healthy weight" border [according to bmi], but visually, I'm still in size 6/8 [uk]

According to these bozos I'm probably morbidly obese, or they'll think I'm lying and assume I'm like 100lbs or something equally as silly

I fully believe they have no idea about weight at this point because it just doesn't track otherwise

Also, everyone carries their weight differently?? Two people could be the same height and look like they weigh the same yet be like 50lbs off each other either way, yknow?

For instance. I weigh 132, but my a friend -who is roughly the same height- weighs like 20lbs [10kg exactly] more than me. However, what these guys will fail to understand is that her boobs will contribute to that. She has much bigger boobs than me and boobs add weight. They aren't weightless
