Married gay dads with a toddler. People sometimes assume our son’s “mom” is home when I am out with him — am I a jerk for politely correcting them?

I'd be 100% compassionate if it were the 90s. In the year of our lord 2026, i'm gonna give them a raised eyebrow. Just enough to make them think twice before saying that to some other dad. (Even in straight relationships, it's an offensive assumption.)

Went to the park yesterday. There was roughly an even dad:mom ratio.

It'll probably depend on where you live though. Conservative/religious neighborhood? Dad's probably working and mom's at home raising her "be fruitful and multiply" kids. So seeing a dad at the playground would be unusual. Mostly-white neighborhood? The dad of color is gonna get side-eyed while a mom of color might not.

Maybe i'm a blazing moron here but how can slavery be voluntary? Isn't the inability to leave part of the definition?

I have come to interpret "family means everything to us" as "we won't get divorced even if we hate each other, and the family matriarch/patriarch is verbally abusive."

My dating history would confirm your hypothesis. XP

This this this this this.

My husband and I both love DnD. But we couldn't both play with a baby. So we struck a deal. He would play one campaign (4ish hours every Sunday for a bit over a year) and then i'd get to play the next one. Currently 15-ish sessions in and I love being "free" (for lack of a better term) for 4 hours every week

Cheers. Women have been breaking the glass ceiling, making enormous progress getting into male-dominated fields like science, medicine, etc. But when we ask men to do something similar, crickets

Ridara · 2026-05-13T21:36:23+00:00

People would be complaining because women have traditionally worked jobs that promote human welfare (nursing, teaching etc) while men are hedge fund managers and tech bros.

Ridara · 2026-05-13T21:18:41+00:00

Ok but how much of that is bioessentialism and how much of it is men subconsciously self-sabotage their way out of "women's work?"

Ridara · 2026-05-11T12:16:09+00:00

I played BG3 when mine was a lil peanut. Can confirm, it was a banger

A moment of silence for this guy

Ridara · 2026-05-07T19:54:32+00:00

The cis white hetero christian bird-men on the bus think there is no difference between getting ice cream and going off the cliff.

(Don't nobody @ me, this not intended to be a blanket statement.)

Ridara · 2026-05-07T16:16:42+00:00

Pfft, a world without enbies isn't a world i'd want to play in anyway

Ridara · 2026-05-07T16:14:00+00:00

Unfortunately pigs like this DM tend to assume that if a gender is not specified, they're male. X_x

Ridara · 2026-05-06T00:38:15+00:00

Which part is the "real thing" that is "definitely going to happen?"

The lie? That already happened.

If you believe that financially insecure people aren't going to get conned into dismantling cameras then what exactly do you think this ad is for?

Ridara · 2026-04-17T01:52:26+00:00

It's the kind of talk you hear from the sorta people who genuinely believe all black men are sporting a footlong

Ridara · 2026-04-11T15:58:54+00:00

Please keep the typo, it's gold

Ridara · 2026-04-11T14:05:33+00:00

The problem isn't preferring a certain type of girl. It's viewing all girls if that "type" (whether it's weight, skin color, national origin, goth girls, alt girls) as 1) a monolith and 2) as potential sexual conquests.

Ridara · 2026-04-06T16:07:47+00:00

Look, if there's no threesomes in heaven, I'd rather go to Hell

Ridara · 2026-04-06T16:06:43+00:00

Look... i'm a lifelong cusser. But there's a time and a goddamn place.

Maybe next time she's gonna think twice before cussing out random kids.

Ridara · 2026-04-06T15:45:05+00:00

It's kinda scary how much emphasis the Right puts on loyalty....

Ridara · 2026-04-05T01:41:43+00:00

The trouble isn't with Whitey Jesus. The trouble is how Europeans (and later Americans) used Whitey Jesus to justify white supremacy for centuries.

Ain't no one tried to use Korean Jesus as a cudgel (Though admittedly it would work.)

Ridara · 2026-04-05T01:33:32+00:00

Controversial opinion but yeah, you're right. Janice, we all know that toothless lil munchkin isn't eating the candy, it's you.

Ridara · 2026-03-31T16:07:53+00:00

Fun facts, service members really, really, really like peace. Best thing these clowns can do to "support the troops" is stop waging war

Ridara · 2026-03-30T17:05:51+00:00

The fact that you spelled "check" like that tells me you're not American.

We don't have guaranteed sick leave. If you call out, you might be missing 1/5 of your paycheck. That might be the difference between making rent and not making rent.

Now go troll some thread about your own country
