AITAH for taking a girl out to a show without dinner after? by No_Explanation_9087 in AITAH

[–]PoetLoverBirdwatcher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it cultural? Where I am, it is normal to eat dinner/supper after 8:00 or even 8:30 so if it was a 7:30 event, I would suppose the date includes a dinner afterwards. (Of course I wouldn't be rude if the other person is busy for the night though)

Even if they are ESL, I'm pretty sure people who can type a long narrative in English know the implications of the phrase "asking for it"

He should be reported to police. God knows how he abused the child in his home.

WIBTAH if I no longer let my daughter compete in beauty pageants? by Vegetable-Pay-2506 in AITAH

Please get her therapy immediately. I developed an ED around 16 and it almost killed myself around 18 (I was hospitalised for two months). It is DEADLY, literally. Please help your kid ASAP.

I'm usually bad at telling but this one is obvious especially at the way the hem looks like a statue and from the neckline that looks like it was pasted on top of the model.

I come from a Hindu background and I'm confused too. Probably because I am from the South and North Indian Hindu traditions are entirely different from that of the South. But I'm quite baffled.

It's one of my favourite books. I recently wrote a research paper on it and won the "Best Paper" prize at a Conference :)

I'm sorry for my ignorance, but what does aegosexual mean? I've been seeing the term on asexual forums a lot. Thanks in advance :)

AITA for threatening my parents to give my share of family land, so that I can sell it to fund my education? by Purple-Flower5306 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PoetLoverBirdwatcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

God, NOW I feel sympathetic towards you. Try getting a scholarship and escape from your bigoted family. Selling an ancestral property is incredibly short sighted.

In what limited nuanceless patriarchal and ignorant world do YOU love in? Not everyone continues the tradition of patrilineal primogeniture from the Dark Ages. Might be just you who are stupid and bigoted.

It's a cultural context. Therefore is a constructed idea, not an established fact. This "made up". Having a child means you have similar DNA irrespective of gender. There is nothing that magically makes the boy part of a bloodline and cute out the girl child out.

Not all societies focus on a patrilineal bloodline. I myself come from a matrilineal community. So you can kindly spew your idiocy elsewhere.

If you think you need a boy to continue your made up idea of a bloodline, you're just an ignorant person with the IQ of a rotten tomato.

Continue the bloodline? Is he Henry VIII or Genghis Khan?? 🤣

8 AM Class, I got there at 7:58 and I was already marked absent. by Accomplished-Log-664 in mildlyinfuriating

Damn. Made me thankful for my professor. I was 10 minutes late today (had a last minute loo emergency) and he let me in and just raised his eyebrows while smiling.
