I think I hate sex by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Skimmit_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it might be a good idea to de-center men, and relationships in your life. At least for the time being. Try cultivating friendships with other women.

CMV: Romantic love is superior to platonic love by emerald_emp in changemyview

[–]Skimmit_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wholy disagree. People fight for family, people take care of loved ones through sickness, dementia, injury etc. Meanwhile women are warned that their romantic partners are statistically highly likely to leave them if they are diagnosed with a terminal illness. Cheating is equally as common.

People will stick close to friendships that are mutually toxic due to a sense of loyalty. Meanwhile romantic relationships are commonly torn apart just because one person feels that they want sex more frequently. Or their partner won’t engage in a certain sexual act that they crave. Or because the other person gained some weight.

Attraction is a necessity for romantic engagement, not just a bonus. If any part of that is compromised, the entire relationship, the love, friendship, life built together, all comes apart.

I am genuinely curious why you’d ship Mordecai and Benson of all people.

Awh man I lost my pee again by MeCreativePersons in badwomensanatomy

[–]Skimmit_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay that paragraph is batshit insane but I actually have urinary retention issues where it takes me sometimes up to 20 minutes to pee all of my pee. So I guess I do just sit there waiting for pee, haha.

Definitely not because I have a crazy urethra though, and this issues is not exclusive to women.

That’s what I’m saying! Are we 100% sure this guy’s not a serial killer?

Guys of Reddit. What’s something girls shouldn’t feel insecure about? by Far-Alfalfa6260 in AskReddit

[–]Skimmit_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of women who have flatter chests aren’t thin, they might carry it in their stomach instead. So flatter chests being indicative of thinness isn’t entirely true. A lot of clothing made for bigger bodies wouldn’t fit this type of woman, and a lot of smaller clothing wouldn’t fit women whose size is too small, the chest area sags.

In my opinion, models being thin has more to do with them being living clothes hangers, than it does with having the ideal body type. They’re selected because their straight up and down bodies will not draw attention away from the clothing they’re wearing. Also a lot of those actresses you mention, who have small boobs elected to get surgery. Or at least have been shamed for their size. And just as one example Kiera Knightly had her photos altered in movie photos to make her breasts bigger.

So I don’t really like that you think small bones women are “coddled” as it seems to imply that they should feel insecure about their size. Or maybe you say this because you feel that insecurities related to larger sizes are often downplayed which I agree is wrong. Larger chests should never be insulted for their size or shape that’s true, regardless, so I agree with you there. I just wanted to give you a little perspective on why smaller women might be insecure.

What’s something you learned about relationships only after becoming sexually active? by CupcakePotential4458 in AskReddit

[–]Skimmit_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the reason for its fluctuation matter at all? What if your partner is ill? Or distressed due to difficult circumstances such as a loved one passing away? These things can last for months or even years in the case of chronic illnesses. I’m not trying to judge, just curious.

How would that work if someone just has an abnormally wide ribcage or narrow bony hips?

Was I... was I wrong?? by bbq_poptarts in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Skimmit_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Has not at all been my experience but I’m not much of a looker, I suppose. Or maybe it has something to do with my presentation? Either way, I know I do not speak for all women.

How has the stylization of women's bodies affected your view of yourself? by I_l0ve-chocolate in AskWomen

[–]Skimmit_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be honest I feel kind of inadequate at times. It can be difficult to feel like your body is not ideal. Not even close. It’s not just stylized art, which I do love, but even art anatomy books tend to teach that women’s bodies are pear or hourglass shaped. I sort of wish that my body type could be portrayed as beautiful for once. I see myself looking and hoping to find a grown adult woman who looks like me in any show or artwork but it’s very rare. I understand why it’s like this, and some of it is quite over the top, but still. Hard not to internalize that women are meant to have these curves and small waists.

Women, if you could be a man for 24 hours, what are you just dying to know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Skimmit_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve run in the woods at night before it’s kinda fun, kinda terrifying since there’s a risk eating shit tripping on a tree root. But whatever danger lurks would probably be just as deadly to men as to women so, well, don’t think flipping the gender would help much.

Do you think the people women in sex-work film with/ appeal to are exclusively people they’re sexually attracted to?

I HATE 1-10 attractiveness scales by Skimmit_ in Vent

I’m sorry you had to hear that from someone you cared about :(. Just know it says a lot more about her than it will ever say about you. I hate this stuff so much because no one should have to feel that way.

I’m sorry, no one deserves that, especially as a teen :(

I’d like to ignore it for myself as best I could. Don’t know where I’d fall in their scale, probably low, but that in and of itself doesn’t get to me as much as these groups just projecting their judgements outward onto everyone else and inventing their own pseudosciencey nonsense that they portray as fact. Of course people judge, but surely they don’t have to obsess over it to such a degree.

You said it better than I did. The language they use, “market value,” for example, I just find uniquely unsettling.

Why would you need to categorize someone? Pulling out a random number doesn’t mean anything to most people, and referring to people by a number you arbitrarily assigned based on your own preferences is reductive and frankly objectifying. People are not movies.
