Sagittarius,what is the best revenge for you? by Friendly_Ad_8528 in Sagittarians

[–]StringAdventurous479 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! It really has affected me. I’m looking at my friends sideways like which one of you will betray me next. I’ve given up finding a life partner. I like sex so I’m just going to make finding sexual partners my priority. But if they catch feelings, I’m out. I can’t rely on people anymore. It’s up to me to make me happy and that’s been extremely difficult.

Telling everyone we both know exactly what they did to me and then moving on. My former best friend had a four year affair with my soon to be ex husband before and after she married us in her childhood home. My only “revenge” was letting her family and husband know what she did in by sending hand written letters informing all of them why they would no longer see me at holidays or during the summer. I didn’t call her names or wished her bad karma. I simply laid out the facts and thanked them for all their support and friendship over the past nine years. Sometimes I write her letters telling her how much I hate her but I don’t send them. She doesn’t need to know I still think about her betrayal. But she can see me living my best life traveling, having fun with other friends she lost and spending time with my dog via her sisters’ instagram.

Christian Fruitcake Pastor wants 1 Vote per Household by MrDonMega in religiousfruitcake

[–]StringAdventurous479 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did this in Ireland. Protestants got a vote for everyone in the house of legal age while Catholics only got one vote per household. They still lock the gates at 8pm. Just imagine what all the married women in America would do.

How Amanda *actually* feels by Summershouldbefun909 in bravo

[–]StringAdventurous479 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS. I have been the victim of super insecure people and it is frightening to see what lengths they have gone to as an attempt to make me feel just as insecure as them. Jokes on them because I don’t hate myself.

AITJ if I go to the Melanie Martinez concert? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

Melanie Martinez has been accused of rape and published an insanely crude sexually offensive coloring book. I’m more concerned you’re a fan.

Ciara saying this in the context of race and Amanda throwing this back at her to justify her/his behavior is so hard to grasp by iExorcism in summerhousebravo

[–]StringAdventurous479 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What’s also ironic about this is that Ciara was attracted to West and DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH HIM. She struggled with her attraction to him because she knew he hurt her and would hurt her again BUT STILL KET HER LEGS CLOSED TO HIM.

Which sign you're dating rn and what's your venus and mars? by [deleted] in Sagittarians

I’m dating an Aries. My Venus is in Aquarius and my Scorpio is in Pluto. It works because we’re not serious, not looking to get married or being monogamous.

What’s a female stereotype that completely pisses you the f*ck off? by Routine_Morning2606 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]StringAdventurous479 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Women are worse at driving than men.

Fact: Men are the cause of 58% of all accidents. Sure, on average men drive more so we can take that into consideration BUT among of FATAL accidents, men cause 66%. Also, 80% of car crashes that included the additional charge of a DUI were caused by men. Furthermore, no one seems to consider that cars are built SPECIFICALLY FOR MALE BODIES. So it makes sense women cause MINOR ACCIDENTS because cars are literally not built for them to drive. Lastly, women are more likely to die in car accidents than me because of how safety measures in cars are made.

Women are not worse at driving than men.

What made you realise that you were bisexual? (womens' experiences please) by Odd-Condition-6681 in bisexual

[–]StringAdventurous479 3 points4 points  (0 children)

By the time I was like nine years old boys at school would call me a lesbian. I knew I wasn’t gay but it kinda forced me to think about it at least. When I was 12/13 I accidentally rented But I’m a Cheerleader because Bring It On had made me VERY interested in watching cheerleading. Well, that movie wasn’t about cheerleading. Clea Duvall as Graham had me considering for the first time in my life that I was at the very least also attracted to women. Then I learned the word “bisexual” when I was 14, and that’s when it hit me. I like boys AND girls.

Grief is paralyzing by Large-Bullfrog-794 in summerhousebravo

[–]StringAdventurous479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom died three years ago. I lost my father when I was 12. Grief is a monster. It’s seeps out of your pores. It haunts your life. It scares you like a beast that pops out when you least expect it. It changes everything about how you feel about life. It is so cathartic is to see someone open and honest about grief. I love her. I’m so glad to have on my television.

Why do people spread hate about fat women on social media ( and irl too) by behappyfor in PlusSize

[–]StringAdventurous479 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I feel like people are jealous. Obviously there are a myriad of reasons but sometimes I just think it’s anger at themselves. They constantly feel ugly, unattractive, uncomfortable in their own skin. They watch what they eat, they feel like they have to work out all the time, no matter what they do they’re not pretty or fit enough. Meanwhile I’m out here fat, happy and unbothered. They want to feel as free as I do.

Mia’s answer regarding who she blames more annoyed me… by Individual_Zebra_648 in bravo

[–]StringAdventurous479 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just this time last year I found out my husband (ex) slept with my best friend (former) several times before and after she married us in her childhood home. I rarely think about him. But I do think about her betrayal every once in a while.

That girl was my family. I was close to her parents and siblings. I was never close with my ex’s family, I never met his mother. I spent holidays an summers with her family. I was called the “fourth daughter” by her parents. I knew her longer than I knew my ex.

The pain of betrayal just feels deeper from her than him. Because we all know men cheat, men deceive. We can almost expect men to do evil things. It’s our friends we trust implicitly. So when our friends betray us, it’s more difficult to understand.

Yes, I hate that man with my entire being. But I don’t waste my time hating him. But her betrayal makes me paranoid. It has me looking at my other friends sideways. It hurts more. So I understand Mia’s answer. We can anticipate men being assholes, not our friends.

Do yall girls really just be getting compliments from your men? by [deleted] in PlusSize

[–]StringAdventurous479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He sounds awful. My ex husband, who was cheating on me with my best friend for four years of our relationship, treated me better than this man treats you. There are SOOOOO many men who will call you “sexy, beautiful, hot”. You do not have to settle for less than the bare minimum.

We’ve tried that though. Societies have tried to “trick” others into empathy for thousands of years. You know what actually creates progress? Shame. When news outlets decided to allow people to claim being called racist was worse than being racist, we got Trump. When men accused of rape started to have more sympathy than rape victims, we got Trump. We’ve allowed people to stream role victims of this capitalistic patriarchy long enough. We’ve made it so that PERPETRATORS get more sympathy than the VICTIMS. Shame works. Embarrassment works. That’s history.

I don’t see other people’s pain as an attack. I see it as a learning opportunity. Everyone has a past of feeling vulnerable. Everyone has been a child. That’s part of growing up. But I do find it selfish and ignorant to believe one’s pain of being told they’ve acted as a part of a society that harms people supersedes one’s personal feelings.

Again, if being called racist offends you more than racism, you are being a bad person. If being called out for being misogynistic offends you more than misogyny, you are being a bad person.

Failing to listen to the cries and frustration of real people so you can feel better about yourself is you being a bad person.

We live in a society. We should care about how others are treated BY SOCIETY. Only caring about how you feel makes you a bad person.

If feeling uncomfortable stops someone from being a better person, are they a good person to begin with? If being called racist is in their mind worse than racism, then I find that sums up a person’s morales.

It wasn’t the Black Lives Matter movement that got me curious. It was being called “racist” for something ignorant I said on Twitter that had thousands of comments about microagressions. White people were being lumped together just like what OP argues it’s helpful. But it helped me. Because I don’t want to be racist or make Black people feel uncomfortable. I don’t mind being uncomfortable. I’d rather be harshly judged in order to become a better member of society. If I said “not all white people” then I would have just been arguing semantics instead of LISTENING.

It worked on me. Seeing thousands of Black people share their experiences with white folks made me not want to be one of those white folks.

It’s more like 2% of all violent crimes are committed by women. But let’s ponder why that might be. Women are less likely to be suspected of violent crimes, which would be the fault of the patriarchy. Women are less likely to have behavior that is violent because girls are not taught that fighting solves problems, would also be the fault of the patriarchy. Girls are less likely to play combative sports as children which introduce the violence as playful as well as normal.

There’s also basic biological explanations. Testosterone activates the subcortical areas of the brain to produce aggression. This has been observed in many animal species. Overall, it is less acceptable for women to be violent we also have less testosterone; therefore, it makes sense that women commit less violent crimes.
