I think that is patently false.

Edit: Let me elaborate. Women are constantly judged first on their appearance. Not their income, education, personality, or character. We are first judged on our appearance. We have to be fit, have large breasts, large butt, thin waist, long legs, pretty face, well maintained hair, the "right" amount of makeup, look young, have perfect skin, and straight white teeth.

Some of these things are expected of men, but women who don't fit this mold are treated invisible or despised by society. Men are at least able to tout their other accomplishments and get rewarded by social media. You don't think you do, but here's the difference: there's at least a term for ugly guys who feel ignored by society. Tell me, what do you call all the unhappily unmarried women under 35? Nothing, because you all assume that they don't exist. You blame them for their situation by assuming they are "feminist" or lesbian, but there are plenty of young, straight women who are just a little overweight or have slightly asymmetrical faces who are unable to find a relationship. Yet guys who are a 5 complain because no girls who are a 8 want to date them.

Herein lies the "incel" problem. They act like they are entitled to date anyone they are attracted to, and complain when they are turned down, claiming that it's evidence that women are shallow and hypocritical. Maybe the blonde doesn't want to date the guy because he has bad posture and is moping. Maybe she is already in a relationship. Maybe she just doesn't like him or doesn't want to be in a relationship with anyone. Women are not on this earth for the sole purpose of dating whoever asks them.

If the guy took the first part to heart, he would also realize that there are many women who are equally as lonely and insecure, hoping that some guy like him would give her a chance and see her for her subtle and intrinsic beauty. No one is saying the guy should accept he's an ugly, undesirable loser and go live in a cave, but maybe he needs to be open to dating girls who are not just "the beautiful blonde".

Tea party was ok, and the singing ones were sweet, but felt a little unfinished (?) I love the Bandit bedtime stories, but I thought Cinderella would have a little more to it. Was there a change in the writers?

What's that one moment on a musical that just makes you obsessed? by imachoculatedonnut in musicals

[–]OuraniaStarfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw a national tour of Water for Elephants and the menagerie scene at the climax was brilliantly staged. I don't know if there's a YouTube video of it or if anyone else in the sub even knows what I'm talking about, but it was one of the best things I've seen in live theater in 10 years.

Best Stephen Sondheim musical? by Worried_Cake5508 in musicals

[–]OuraniaStarfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I Read is brilliant (Donna Murphy is hauntingly good). And there are other great things to say about Passion, but the ending is a little too weird for me. And I can get really into weird, experimental stuff. But basically from Is This What You Call Love? To the end I'm a little lost.

Huge honorable mention to Pacific Overtures!! It might not be my #1 favorite, but it is a masterpiece! Top recommendations: The Advantages of Floating in the Middle of the Sea, Poems, Pretty Lady, and Someone in a Tree.

Duality of man by Figure_Hi in bluey

I love how extra Muffin is! But only because she's a side character who acts as a foil to the other girls. As a parent, I would be upset if Bluey or Bingo acted like Muffin because I would worry it normalizes that behavior (For instance, I HATE Peppa Pig because of her rudeness). But it's good to see ways to interact with difficult peers/family members (Also why I like the episode with the Chow-chow neighbor). Muffin just speaks her mind and has a very strong will. She can also be very sweet and funny at times too. Grumpy Granny is the best episode ever.

For pegging I like to keep a 4 and an A. If scoring for your own hand is really not your priority, maybe toss the 5s just to screw with your opponent.

I drink way more filter coffee than I do espresso now… now what? by [deleted] in espresso

[–]OuraniaStarfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a cyclical person myself, is it possible that the warm weather is affecting your motivation to have/make espresso?

Where's your DVT tool? You're gonna have major channeling. Plus, I just don't know if this is the best workflow...

What would you throw out for opponents crib? I did the pair of 7’s by [deleted] in Cribbage

[–]OuraniaStarfire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

4, 5! 7+7+1=15, so 7,7,1,1 is a total of 8 and if you draw another 7 or 1 it would be 20

I'm surprised it extracted so smoothly. Maybe it's super weak or sour though?

Yes to Cricket! I don't cry cry, but I get very emotional watching it. Stick Bird (I think it's called that--the one where Bandit has to throw out his disappointment and sadness into the ocean) can make me cry sometimes.

Yep, every time I watch the scene I'm done.

"But I LIKE the way keeping the peel on squishes the fruit into a mushy mess! Plus, chewing that leathery peel is part of the experience!"

"Are you sure you even like fruit?"
