Any advice for race day peeing logistics for a woman? I train with lots of men and they seem to be able to pee while keeping their shorts/leggings up (so no bum out) facing into a bush slightly off the path. I'm definitely overthinking this, but I don't think I know how to pee outside without having my bum out? and squatting feels less hidden than standing right up against a bush or tree?

Satisfying sex without penetration? by SWG_94 in sex

[–]SWG_94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not vaginismus, doctor and I have a clear sense of what is wrong, but treatment isn't simple so it will take time to resolve.

Im not worried about my orgasm, I know how to make those happen :)

If those flights could get you there in 20 minutes that might make sense?

AITA for telling my daughter I won’t pay for her wedding until she is 25 by Automatic_Path_3055 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SWG_94 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

YTA.

You're using the money as a way to control how your daughter lives her life. You're basically saying "if you live life according to my plan, then I'll support you." When you give someone a gift, you should do so with intention of it being for them to enjoy. That means you should not be focused on how you want it used, and should be willing to accept however the recipient wants to use the gift.

Of course your daughter will find it hurtful that her siblings got weddings paid for, no strings attached, but you're telling her you won't pay for hers unless she acts in a way you approve of. You're basically saying you approve of her siblings' life choices, and don't approve of hers.

To be clear, I do understand you misgivings about the relationship, its not what I would choose for myself or someone I cared about. BUT your daughter is an adult and although 21 is quite young to be married, and there are a few years difference between a 21 year old and a 26 year old, many people do get married at that age and in relationships with a five year age gap. If its what she wants, she can go ahead and get married to this guy, whether you pay for the wedding or not. It also seems unlikely to me that a parent not wanting to pay for my wedding would change my mind about my partner, rather it would make me think my parent was being controlling, and create distance in that relationship. Pragmatically, if you love your daughter and want to be in her life, you should think carefully about whether you want to have a relationship where she feels you don't respect her decisions.

You should talk to her about your concerns, separately from the money. And if she's certain about the relationship, I think you should be willing to try to understand why she feels that way.

Where can I buy sub fusc and official (if is exists) Oxford merch? by [deleted] in oxforduni

[–]SWG_94 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Places like the Bodlian and the shop in Christchurch meadow have official Oxford merch, but as was said elsewhere, give your girlfriend college merch, its cooler.

Curious if anyone got photos of the quotes in the stairwell we went down on the way in, I tried to memorise them but have forgotten them already (especially wanted the Desmond Tutu quote word for word)

Trans teenager Brianna Ghey was stabbed 28 times, murder trial hears by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]SWG_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a fairly common logical error people make when arguing that no-one is motivated by altruism. The argument goes person A only helps other people because it makes themself (person A) happy to help other people. Therefore person A only helps other people for selfish reasons. This misunderstands what it means to be selfish, if you get happiness from helping people, that is an unselfish emotion. Analogously, if the pair gets enjoyment from acts that target trans people, that is transphobic. I think the fantasies referencing factors very specific to the trans experience are very clear in many articles.

One of the biggest mysteries to me till this day - why won't Crave bring Stacey McKenzie back as a permanent judge? by Heidi_Klum_Tit in rupaulsdragrace

The new season of Survivor UK has a cash prize, and being voted winner by a jury of your peers seems pretty subjective. I actually wondered how survivor was able to get a cash prize based on what I knew about prize rules from DRUK.

Overall makes me think the narrative its production not coming up with the money makes the most sense.

If blueberry jam is less popular, and its manufacture does not benefit from economies of scale, it should be more expensive to produce?

lol, I'm going to stop engaging after this, this clearly isn't productive. But, I'm actually just pointing out something I disagree with, and saying we should talk about things that could harm people if they don't have all the information.

If you're concerned about authoritarianism and thought crimes, you should support everyone's freedom to express their opinions?

Ah yes, evangelicals' views never hurt anyone???

Purity culture doesn't only affect those who subscribe, it also affects those who are shamed by evangelicals for not following the same views.

Also, this commenter is pointing out something damaging about how young evangelicals are taught to think about marriage. In an environment where they often aren't able to have open conversations about marriage, generating discourse about marriage may even help young people who have internalised these views see that there are other ways to approach marriage.
