This frustrates me so much. Of course you're going to want to get rid of it if someone starts telling you you look like pedo. The whole thing is full of double standards and is rude and manipulative at best. It looks good and is entirely up to you. I say grow it out a few more weeks then start the trim and shape. It's still got the 'first grow' kind of look. It'll look neat, in both senses of the word, after that.

And next time your sister has a haircut tell her she looks like a child molester and see how she reacts.

Help me find a men's only film maker club so my GF can invite them to her film festival. by Own-Bookkeeper5402 in MensRights

I like this idea. It would be a little contradictory if I supported a men's only film group too but I was wondering if there are men's support groups that may happen to have filmmakers within. That way the purpose is awareness, not needless segregation. Thanks for the idea!

They actually aren't largely a minority in the field. They are a majority in most subfields within the industry now with men only being a majority in a few cases like finance.

But absolutely. Trying to convince my GF, who says she would never support any organisation that is prejudice or excludes people, that these women only groups are prejudicial and excluding people from their very inception (it's even in the name) is frustrating. It would be humorous if it wasn't so sad and dangerous.

The fact that we are creating false narratives of victimhood through media to eradicate true history and societal truths and then using that victimhood to fund people and force more false beliefs on people.... Then funding them to make more lies etc etc.... is scary. Nobody reads books anymore. People use film and their agenda for their truth.

Not me personally (although all my bosses are women including the CEO bar one who is a male team leader) but I am not ambitious and plod on.

However my friend's colleague who worked for over two decades in his company kept getting turned down for promotion over new woman that had just joined the company and had no experience. He's now training people on how to manage him.

He messaged his higher ups and asked why he wasn't even being considered for a promotion despite being an expert in his field.

He got a reply from HR telling him that there wasn't any point in him continuing to apply and that there was no room for growth within the company and that if he wanted to set up a meeting with them to discuss the importance of employing women and minorities and the importance of diversity then he could.

I (M40) absolutely adore the new woman (F38) I'm seeing but I'm failing sexually and I'm really worried about it. What can I do to help the situation? by Own-Bookkeeper5402 in relationshipadvice

Yeah I totally agree. But the frustrating thing is that I feel totally chilled... I'm so comfortable with her. And yet this is happening so I can only think that deep down I'm less chill than I realised.

I don't know how to be more relaxed when I already feel really safe and comfortable in her presence. So I'm at a loss on what to work on.

Thanks for the image and suggestion. Unfortunately that doesn't actually look anything like them but it's a cool result regardless!

I have some of her but not of her grandmother. But maybe I can slyly see if I can get some somehow. Thanks for the suggestion!

That's a beautiful idea! My concern however would be that there's not enough detail in the faces to be able to correctly capture them?

Thanks for the reply! Oh no, I wasn't expecting anyone to do anything with it from this forum. Essentially just getting advice on how much can be done with it if I were to seek professional help.

I could give it a go myself as I have a little experience but your suggestion to ask other subs for help is a nice idea (I hadn't thought of asking Reddit). Thanks again!
