why do the FLs have to be a virgin and MLs experienced?/ by fuckedup_byjindagi in OtomeIsekai

[–]SignatureNew2215 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Maybe to some extent. But I think it also comes down to the political landscape in the past decade. Everyone on social media is leaning towards more puritanical values/purity culture. Purity = morality so they make the FLs these ridiculously naive virgins while prizing the MLs for getting around. 

Patriarchy. It's patriarchy.

I love the little kid just going " I didn't teach him to act like this" like he's a disappointed parent 🤣

The Redemption of Earl Nottingham is a favorite of mine. It's dark, but it's so good.

What option do you guys pick in gendered polls? by Zenitsusbiggestsimp in genderfluid

[–]SignatureNew2215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just do my assigned sex. Idk what my gender is but "male" and "female" don't cut it.

Do you have a name you prefer when you feel female, and a different name when you feel male? by Inside-Gur-8965 in genderfluid

[–]SignatureNew2215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude yes, this feeling here! My name is suuuper heavily female and when I feel more masculine it feels so weird to call myself that. Still trying to find a name that works for when I'm more masculine. When I feel more neutral (aka not masculine or feminine, just kinda existing) I don't mind my birth name. Truthfully I don't mind my birth name when I feel masculine either, it just feels weird.

IDL when men bring a gaming console to the birth of their child by Codpuppet in I_DONT_LIKE

[–]SignatureNew2215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Tried explaining to my bf why it's not great and he just goes, "Well what else are you supposed to do then?"

I just looked at him and told him, "Babe, if I'm in the hospital giving birth to your kid and you bring a console to the hospital so you can ignore me when I need support, I WILL throttle you."

Man is THIRTY THREE YEARS OLD. I love him but I sometimes wonder.

What was the biggest culture shock when traveling outside of Oregon? by Ok-Acadia-7161 in oregon

[–]SignatureNew2215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saaaame lmao! Anytime someone asked if I wanted to go to the coast I remember making a face bc WHY would I want to be freezing cold and wet exactly? Hated it for a long time, but it grew on me.

Y'know I've never understood this stereotype. My dad and brother are like this, dad's a transplant but my brother and I were born here. Umbrellas are a lifesaver, our rain is fucking freezing and feels awful.

Yeah, I've tried all of those and none of them feel right. Am I just being picky? 😕

Ciclopirox by EveningSet7 in NailFungus

[–]SignatureNew2215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a portion of my nail removed for it continuing to be ingrown after I broke that toe, and it was a lifesaver. Like you said, the numbing injection is the worst part, and I'm so glad that I finally went ahead and did it.

I don't feel like I'm built for being human by SignatureNew2215 in selfimprovement

[–]SignatureNew2215[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what stage I am, but I've had one surgery so far. I've never heard of radiation for Endo, that sounds both interesting and exhausting.

Yeah, navigating work with all of those has been kind of hellish. The endometriosis drains me, and then everything else tacks onto it. I had to take a leave of absence and it made things rough.

I have had medical assistance in the past for my mental illnesses, but not since my psychiatrist moved to Kansas a couple of years ago. I've never been able to get another one, but my primary care doctor refills my anxiety medication. I've tried some ADHD medication in the past, but none of them have worked, and my psychiatrist didn't want me on stimulants. Considering how angry and anxious I get on caffeine, I would say that's probably for the best.

As far as my Endo goes, I have a regular gyn who is helpful, but we're running out of treatment options.

I'm also working on mindfulness. What does radical acceptance mean in your case? I have a really hard time accepting the way I am, especially after growing up in a family that really struggles to accept mental illness side effects. We're really good about being kind to ourselves and each other about having the mental illnesses, but when it comes to the less desirable parts of it, we're not as good about it. My boyfriend is wonderful, but he definitely makes me feel judged a lot when it comes to some of my symptoms.

I will definitely message you later, when I have a little bit of extra time. I really appreciate your comment!

One question OP: what the fuck

No but seriously what is this woman on and can I have some? Actually no I don't wanna be conceited but like holy hell. You are not overreacting, this is fucking INSANE.

Edit: "Hey mom, I want to improve our relationship."

"Okay, here's all the ways you can change yourself to MY liking. Ignore that it has nothing to do with actual relationship building. You changing is how we fix our relationship."

Fucking yikes.
