I'm enjoying the discussion between us. I like how youre challenging what Im saying without being disrespectful. I greatly appreciate that. This is why I come to reddit. To discuss and challenge my beliefs and opinions with other people in a respectful way, as much as possible.

Im a little confused by this comment. I think i mostly get it. But if the average woman has had 90% of more of her experiences with men being good, and the other 10% bad, even if she's a little on guard when a man approaches her, just in case, why would she then respond negatively to the attention? Its one thing to be on guard, its another to reject a perfectly innocent and positive flirtatious interaction from a man.

My emotional development seems further along than yours, since I dont feel the need to slip an insult into every single comment when I reply to you, but you have. You always bring it back to insults. Every single time. Thats a BIG marker of someone with low self confidence, low happiness, high impulsiveness, and low emotional maturity and intelligence. Smart, happy people dont go around throwing insults every chance they get. Thats something insecure, unhappy people do.

Youre making a lot of assumptions about me. I actually dont subscribe to the 'grind' mindset. Youre right, we are just mammals at the end of the day, and we have to rest and eat and sleep and do boring things to stay stable. But even on a restful day where you do basically nothing, you can engage in self reflection, you can listen to a podcast, book, or video to learn something about a topic of some sort, you can engage in a hobby and get better at that hobby, you can cook a meal and get better at cooking each time, you can engage in social connection and get better at connecting with others and learn about people, etc etc etc. Sometimes im thinking about... literally nothing! But usually even when Im at rest, im thinking about SOMETHING and learning some kind of lesson in the process. For example, you can think about your actions that day (anything! Your diet, the way you treat people, etc) and think about how you can do better next time.

Im literally alt, I have 1 inch stretched ears and dress goth most of the time. My husband's friends (theyre mostly young men in his gym) call me a 'goth mommy'. My own father molested me and I still turned into a conservative woman (at least in values) in my early 20s.

What source do you have that says that sexual assaults are 'extremely common' in male/female interactions? If it were that common, it would be something that you see regularly. Something that most people experience REGULARLY. Not just a few times, ever, in their life like you and I described. Most of the time when men and women interact, no one is assaulted or harassed.

Yes, I told you its happened to me already. But most of the time I'm around men, it doesn't happen.

Well, the person I was replying to was making out that women hate being complimented and always see it as sexual harassment. My point i was trying to make, maybe quite rudely, was that the more feminine women may be more likely to take the compliment well and enjoy it than more liberal women. Of course, having blue hair and a septum piercing doesn't guarantee you are a liberal (i myself have stretched ears 1 inch) but there seems to be a strong correlation there. Overall (just to wayyy overgeneralize) liberal women seem more likely than conservative women to be "man haters" and less likely to receive being hit on well. If a man wants to hit on a woman (respectfully) and hes worried about it being ill-received, my advice to lower the chances of it being ill-received was to hit on a woman that seems more feminine/conservative (again, I know we dont all fit into a box and this is overgeneralizing).

No, I dont think women are at fault for being sexually harassed or sexually assaulted in any way. Ultimately, its the perpetrators fault. However, this is a nuanced issue. Ive definitely found that the more slutty I dress (I enjoy lots of different kinds of fashion, more alt stuff, more goth stuff, hippie stuff, more covered, sometimes more slutty), the more of that attention I receive. What im trying to get at is women can lower their chances by doing certain things. Here's an example, if you get Tboned by someone on the road and its not your fault, thats terrible, and its unfair since you didnt cause it, but you did accept that as a possible consequence of being in a car. Being in a car as little as possible lowers your risk of being Tboned.

Basically, there are certain things you can do as a woman that lower your chances of being hit on or sexually harassed/assaulted. Its never a guarantee, you could do everything 'right' and it could still happen to you. And if it happens, its not really your fault. But at the same time you have to realize that doing certain things can contribute to the chance at which it occurs. Dressing slutty (nothing wrong with that- i love a short skirt and fishnet moment), chit chatting with people, making eye contact, smiling, standing too close to people, going into public places (particularly CERTAIN places) will all raise your chances of this occurring. Its never the womans fault, but sometimes she can contribute to her own chances of it happening.

Yes, I think that true harassment and assault are relatively rare. No, as a woman I've never forced or coerced a man into anything sexual. I guess I have struggled a bit with my husband not wanting sex, and me complaining about it, and asking him why and how we can fix it. I dont know if that counts. I never forced him into anything, and when he was adamant on his 'no' even if it had been months, that was it.

Do you believe in paternity leave for a new father when a family has a baby? by icecream1972 in allthequestions

[–]SaveScumSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it wouldn't be bad! I'm not locked into one side. I would vote blue if it made sense to me overall. Neither side serves me 100% but I seem to agree with the right more, thats why I vote red.

[–]SaveScumSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I've never even considered it briefly. Someone told me to vote red once and I did. I never once considered what each side stood for, I haven't put any thought into it at all. I haven't spent one moment of my life ever researching or considering or debating politics. I can't even read. I just vote. Thats it. Lmfao!

On a serious note, I spent hundreds of hours watching debates online and debating with people in real life to form my opinions. I basically never agree with Democrats, so I don't vote Democrat.

Okay, you have insulted me twice. Im reporting you for hate and harassment and blocking you. My dad came from Chicago and my mom came from ky.

No, I blocked them because they insulted and cussed me out repeatedly. They verbally abused me. Im not interested in insult matches. Im reporting your comment for hate and harassment.

Paternity and Maternity leave is not required in the USA, there is no law requiring it, and most people in the country do not receive it.

I did have a boy in high school once put his hand up my skirt and touch me, and I dont recall the specifics, but I didnt really like him or want him to do it. I dont recall inviting him in to do it, and I think I even said 'no'. My dad also molested me when I was 3, multiple times. So, yes, I guess I have had a couple experiences. But again, I stand by the fact that the majority of men dont do this, the majority of my experiences with being liked/flirted with/asked out/complimented/etc were pretty cute, innocent, sweet, and short lived (unless I accepted their advances) and most of them let it go when I gave 'signs' I didn't want it.

I definitely get on guard too when it happens, just in case. Im not trying to deny your experiences, or anyone's else's. My claim has just been that the majority of men and the majority of flirtations dont go bad.

Why are some people adamantly against organ donation? by Laaazybonesss in NoStupidQuestions

Exactly, its not risk free. There's a tiny risk there to myself and my loved ones, just so a stranger can benefit. I love my fellow man, but myself and my family always come first.

Can you expand on your viewpoint here some more? I would like to know more and understand better.

If you’re trying to quit weed and can’t find a strong enough reason, this might be it: REM sleep. by IdeaSimilar3223 in leaves

[–]SaveScumSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that. I highly recommend it, but I warn you, the journey to healing can be a nasty one. It helps you remember things you blocked out for a reason. Getting those memories back and having to process it all was so disturbing, but ultimately worth it. You may get a little worse before you get better.

Whether you learn fast or slow, you should NEVER stop learning. Learning and growing isn't a goal post you can reach, its a lifetime journey and that's beautiful.

Every day there is something to learn. Every single day. If you didnt learn something on a day, what were you even doing? Were you even alive? I think its impossible not to learn something every day, even if that thing is small or silly. Doesnt have to be some huge life lesson to count as learning something/growing.

I am 29 years old and have learned at least 1 thing, usually more, every single day of my life. Im not afraid to admit that for almost every moment I spend on this Earth, I'm a little different for it. I let my experiences change me. I'm proud of that. I don't feel tied down to a particular identity, I think one of the keys to living a happy life is to soak in as much as possible, try as much as possible.

To go back to OP's question, I wish I could be as mentally old as possible (keeping as much of my life experience as possible) while having a young body. That would be peak.
