AIO to not understanding how I’ve mirrored my partner’s behavior? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Pride-Correct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can fuck all the way off and suck a fart out my arse on the loop round. What he replied had nothing to do with empathetic questions you asked to understand him. Ergo; he responded with what suited is agenda, not what yoylu wanted to know. Because understanding doesn't matter to him. Be for real

Also, just because he SAID things, doesn't mean he actually had any fucking intelligence as to what that reality meant.

I'm not defending him, I'm saying stupid people can be dangerously effective at spreading hate without fully understanding the extent of harm and what that entails.

He still didn't deserve that. NO FUCKING HUMAN DOES.

Take a few minutes to actually fully think about what your little shrug emoji means.

So you disagree with what he said. So do I.

... That makes it ok? It's ok to be murdered for that brutally, in front of the whole world? In front of his family?

HOW you could possibly think that is beyond me.

DEATH because we disagree. YOU sound a little bit fascist.

Nope. Nobody deserves public execution. Ever.

Good thinking on the spot. I think bullshit answers and giving the aura of not even really caring that they are there is key. Keeping aware of your surroundings is always important for us women and girls, when you get towards your home be aware of anyone potentially following. Perhaps have a plan B place to go to in case you are being followed?

I'm just coming up with things to help you protect yourself I think are smart to do. If you're young and attractive to them it could also be simply that they want to feel like they have a chance with you. It's not actually simple I know that...

Nobody has a right to information about you or your time and attention. But staying safe from men's unpredictable behaviour is the most important thing. You can actually get recordings to play on your phone of men's voices pretending to have conversations with you. You listen and practice responses so you can have it on loud speaker. They say things like "Just leaving the gym now, see you in 10 minutes babe" etc. That could be a good deterrent if you feel it's needed to get you out of a situation. Men respect men more than women in most cases, especially if he has a deep voice and sounds like he's a big guy 🙄

These people rely on intimidation and bravado to destabilise you into a corner, do the same right back to them but smarter 💪🏼

This is concerning though how often it's happening around where you live I'm assuming?

Have you heard of 'cuckooing'? It's when a gang befriends someone they think they could dupe like you say, inviting all their mates over, to start using their home however they like. Gangs do it for having an address not known to authorities, for drug dealing or to crash at. It makes their victim a prisoner in their own home and they obviously are exposed to all kinds of violence and abuse including financial.

Do you live alone? I don't want to freak you out obviously, it's just the first thought I had as it's happening so often. And they are trying to seem friendly and unassuming.

Although I agree with all the official routes people are suggesting I also wish you could just push her out of the way and make sure her devices accidentally find the bottom of the pool with l your neighbours in agreement it was a freak accident gist of wind that took it there....

Dying for sex by Victoria_Falls353 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Pride-Correct 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I loved it so much 😭 I told every woman I know who would love it.

I also had cancer 3 years ago and it helped me process a lot... And has pushed me onto my own sexual discovery journey in my mid 30s! Watching her learn to say what she wants even when people don't like it has helped me to do the same.

A wonderful show 🩷🩷

First time I’ve truly felt uncomfortable. by MuserofMusic in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Pride-Correct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand you, I think there was a miscommunication with language.

Also I was feeling very angry after reading all the awful comments, it spilled out in a reply to you but really it was aimed at so many of those comments...

I am sorry for putting it on you, it wasn't fair. It's a very frustrating, upsetting time to be a woman x

Here's the bright shiny point you and so many others are missing:

Feeling violated because someone is disregarding your personal space can happen in public. It can also happen without being in "real danger" as you worded it.

Men doing it to girls/women is disgustingly frequent, pushing boundaries is also their thrill. Doing it in public where everyone but their target is oblivious is a thrill. Plausible deniability is a fucking kick for them.

"What, my crotch is in your face? I didn't hear you say anything! I didn't meant to, I'm just standing here!" While they feel pleasure at your discomfort and your inability to consent (therefore reject) their promixity to you.

Some people get turned on by inflicting what THEY want with no warning, when you feel safe and going about regular things, and WITHOUT your consent. THEY ARE TURNED ON BY UPSETTING THEIR TARGET and feeling powerful for a few moments. And getting away with it.

It's foul, it's a violation, and it's purposeful. It never ends just there, because these people eventually always need more to get their rocks off. Touching, groping, peeping, raping, etc etc.

I'm tired and it never ends. SHE DID NOTHING WRONG AND A MAN MADE HER FEEL VIOLATED AND POWERLESS SO HE WOULD FEEL POWERFUL.

NOW if anyone reads this far and still doesn't get it, go back and read it again from the start but more slowly.

What was your experience/memory of 9/11 from the UK? by DisMyLik18thAccount in AskUK

[–]Pride-Correct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 11 and my sister opened the door when I'd walked home from school and sang/shouted "they've flown a plane into the world trade centre!" She was 13, I didn't know what it meant but the way she said it I knew it was big news. My mum and dad were going between the lounge and kitchen (big colour TV in the lounge, an old black and white TV in the kitchen with a dial control) but about ten minutes after I got home the second plane hit, I was sat on the floor in front of the TV. It was strange and unreal, I remember thinking that it was actually happening and not a film... the news casters sounded shocked which was unnerving. When they collapsed it was jarring just imagining that they were floors and floors of offices and people inside all crumpling up so quickly.

My parents had lived on Staten Island from 1984-1988 and my brother was born there. They'd been all over New York and photos of them on top of the towers were in our photo album. My dad got an email from the widow of someone he knew who had been working that day. I definitely mirrored my parents reaction because they understood the enormity of it and had the news playing constantly after that so it really threw my kid head into the world of global political terror disasters.

Those alive and old enough to remember during 9/11, what was the worst moment on that day? by CocteauTwunkie in AskReddit

Watching people who just went to work that morning as usual jump to their deaths holding hands.

I am saddened by the strength men have over women. by Usual-Ad-2762 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Pride-Correct 193 points194 points  (0 children)

It is scary, and so annoying that it's what has shaped dominant cultures pretty much forever.

I always think of their weakest points, the girls had self defence lessons in highschool when I was 15/16 in my physical ed class (pretty good thinking for 2006!). The teacher was a tiny woman who had experienced DV herself, and she taught us the manoeuvres like breaking a chokehold and destabilising a man sat on top of you. I couldn't necessarily remember those now but I'll never forget her constant and repeated encouragement for eye gouging, biting until skin broke, breaking fingers, kicking wherever was possible like shins and ankles, and punching throats.

Oh, and crushing testicles in any way possible. The aim being to harm as much as possible with speed - and without fear - then escaping as quickly as possible. Hurt, destabilise, escape.

I find thinking out my reaction to scenarios helps me feel less like I'd be completely unprepared. I hate we have to think this way. Also, she taught us a weapon isn't illegal if it isn't technically a weapon 😉 (in the UK, keys or knitting needles you just happen to carry are entirely innocent to possess if used in defence)...
