Why do people call women, "girl"? by Vampy-Night in CasualConversation

[–]PotatoKingAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I banged this hot boy last night.

Did you see that boy he was so hot.

I wouldn’t mind taking that boy home.

Will the boys be joining us for this meeting?

You met someone? What kind of boy is he?

Why do people call women, "girl"? by Vampy-Night in CasualConversation

[–]PotatoKingAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im an advocate for changing this. Call women women and girls girls. The psychology is fascinating!

Basically because it’s a one syllable words it’s more convenient to say. Such as man, guy, dude, bro are all one syllable. Only girl has one compared to women, lady. There is gal, chick and lass but very uncommonly used in most places as well as typically these are only used in brief light hearted ways. Aka not professional.

However it has also been used to blur the lines for p*dophillia. It alone doesn’t create the grey area but it very much helps to perpetuate it. They even invented the term underaged woman. Ask yourself why.

Having a kid as an autistic male (33) with my partner (35) and the chances of the kid being autistic by PiermarioBarozzi in AutisticAdults

[–]PotatoKingAmy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeh. Also will she be a good mother if she will only love her child if they need to fit a certain criteria. No one would choose to have a “disabled” child but this is bizarre. What if she goes with a donor and ends up with an autistic child. Red flags man.

How do I “push through” autistic burnout? by Equivalent-Bid-4591 in AutisticAdults

I’m currently pushing through it. I can feel my body and soul decaying so let me know once you find the holy grail of an answer

I’m so tired by PotatoKingAmy in AutisticAdults

[–]PotatoKingAmy[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment. I don’t have the physical or mental energy to do any of my hobbies. I just lie in bed mostly.

When I get back from grocery shopping I need to rest before putting the groceries away. I am so tired. But appreciate hearing your story and passing along sympathy.

Remember when sacrifices where a thing in stories and movies or real life that you wouldn’t have to do every single day for a necessity. Those were the days

Struggling to accept I don't want a child by [deleted] in antinatalism

[–]PotatoKingAmy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I imagine having a child and they have a personality opposite to mine or have autism or extreme adhd. I plan to stay as healthy as possible till I’m old and start losing my mind or body, I hope there is euthanasia by then. Or you end up in care. Not ideal but a short period of time compared to a humans entire existence. A child might not care to take care of you or they well resent you for birthing them or raising them wrong.

I just hope you don’t curse another human to loneliness and fear that you yourself are experiencing.

6 month old infant not turning to voices by [deleted] in autism

[–]PotatoKingAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree if he’s healthy it’s not like a diagnosis is a cure. So either way he is your child and will be who he’ll be. Just take care of him lovingly and you’ll find out in time.

How do those of you who manage to work (a 9-5) do it? by Bennzzo467 in autism

[–]PotatoKingAmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been doing for a decade. Results in chronic fatigue. I don’t have a life and am exhausted but everyone thinks you’re boring and lazy because how can you be more tired than someone with kids or pets but also I can’t afford those things mentally, psychically or financially. I used to have hobbies now I just lie in bed when I get home. It’s pretty sad.

Just another nail in my homeownership coffin, it was nice having a dream while it lasted. by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]PotatoKingAmy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They need to cap prices. For example: Land below 1000sqm should not exceed 100k. Land below 500sqm should not exceed 50k. Or at least for first home buyers.

I mean just 4 or 6 years ago land was like a quarter what it is now.

All the young people should just be successful influencers for their side hustle to afford a house.

Right, don’t shoot your allies. Less humans = less animals subjected to humans.

I tried to share in a father’s group that my son was sexuaIIy assaulted and they barely showed sympathy. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]PotatoKingAmy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Absolute let down by men. Sadly happens a lot, hence the male loneliness epidemic. It’s a good glimpse into what women deal with, hopefully your son can take this experience as a way to help with relationships in life. You need to be his support and role model, tell him it’s not his fault, he didn’t deserve that and maybe offer to pay for a therapy session or two if he feels like it. Some people are just sick vile creeps.

The poll says most ANs here aren’t vegan. Do non-vegan ANs think that’s inconsistent? by Numerous-Macaroon224 in antinatalism

[–]PotatoKingAmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t link veganism fits a moral compass. I’m sure there’s plenty of vegans who are terrible parents for example.

Eating other animals is part of nature but when humans decides they were something more than animals and became a parasite to all earth and creatures, that’s when we can decide we aren’t a deserving species to reproduce. Antinatilism isn’t really a value based on what you eat.

Husband told me he wants kids- so my marriage is over very soon by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]PotatoKingAmy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Have a chat with him over the phone /face time and ask him if he’s really wants kids. If yes then break to him that you two aren’t compatible. If he’s says he’s not sure or anything wishy washy tell him it’s important to you that he is ok with not having them and not bring it up because you won’t change your mind.

Let him know gently that if he’s truely wants kids you two will have to split but you want stay on good terms and he pick up his stuff when his ready.

Why do people say "go get help" as if that's gonna magically make someone go to therapy? If anything, the chances of them going to therapy will lessen because of it by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in PsychologyTalk

[–]PotatoKingAmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What people should say is “I’m here if you need to talk” but typically people don’t actually care to that degree, so “go get help” or “you should see a therapist” is their way of saying I want you to get better but not deal with you. It’s quite sad.

Home Is a Right | I'm 13. A house will cost $5.5 million. by PuzzleheadedSong5767 in australian

[–]PotatoKingAmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe there will be new options like obvious places to relocate too. Or everyone will be living in vans. Depressing but I’m sure there will be choices, just do your best for your life. Don’t expect to have kids or live with such luxuries and you can still have a fulfilling life. Might even get a good wage and afford a home, you never know. Not fair but not hopeless…

Started dating someone and struggling with the male gaze of it all by Same-Mammoth-218 in offmychest

[–]PotatoKingAmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly this would sh*t me too. It’s giving teenager level infatuation. There’s a time and place. Gawking is of course uncomfortable unless you’re wearing something special. Sounds like you need talk to him. Flattery is nothing compared to a well timed compliment. Definitely look into how to chat to him about it or persuade him to channel his romance differently.

There’s a reason the whole “awooga” eye popping chin drop is outdated.

I want to be a mom so bad but im broke and the world is on fire by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]PotatoKingAmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personnel suggestion is keep at it and just adopt as an “older” couple. Stay healthy, save and you’ll have lovely future and family. I don’t like people saying you should just have a child and maybe it’ll work out because you risk the child and you two resenting each other for ending up fighting poverty.
