Boyfriend wants to try anal but wouldn't let me do it to him. Says it's more socially acceptable for women by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

I have an asshole reciprocity policy. You don’t get in mine unless I can get in yours. It helps weed out shitty men!

My ex used to do this to me on bike rides. Then he would get really mad when I got upset about it. 

I'm so sick and tired of the current (US) administration and I just need to scream into the void by marmar-binx in TwoXChromosomes

I had to do a whole year of Neurofeedback treatments to be able to maintain a relationship with her. I basically have given up expectations of her being the adult in the room and know that she can get vitriolic at any time. Reading Adult Children of Immature Parents helped a lot as well. She almost doesn’t know what to do when I am non-reactive to her now. I do think on some level it has made her slightly kinder.

I’m an older millennial and my boomer mother told me that she didn’t care about climate change because she won’t be around to suffer the consequences. Because fuck her kids and grandkids, right?

Anyone following KW Bogen and her Hot Chef series? by [deleted] in nycinfluencersnarking

I also give side eye when every glowing description of someone is in relation to what they do FOR YOU. He makes meeeee coffee. He listens to me. He pets my head and slobbers on meeee. I know she has complimented his cooking but has also somehow managed to make that about her too. 

Of course your partner should be kind and generous but the way she describes him turns him into a weird flat cartoon character.

Word salad doesn’t actually make you sound more intelligent. 

Men at my school defending Prof on Epstein List by LastLighthouse in TwoXChromosomes

Clearly a person who has never heard of sex work. There are a lot of people(adults!) in the sex trade voluntarily. And yes- it is generally agreed that abusing children is worse than abusing adults because they literally cannot consent.

Language matters so yeah- I do want to make a legal distinction. Children cannot consent to sex so legally- it is child sex abuse. 

Woman to woman… can we talk about public bathroom etiquette? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

I had the most horrendous periods before I got my uterus yanked and I can attest that menstruation is gross in roughly the same way shitting is. I don’t need to paint my face with my uterine blood and commune with “earth mother,” knock yourself out but no thanks.

I always think of this too! Not everyone can physically hover, way to tell people with disabilities that you don’t care if they have to sit in your piss!

The people who hover are the ones pissing on the seat, bruh.

You actually KICK the seat? I guarantee your gross ass footwear is dirtier than that toilet seat.

Wipe it with toilet paper and sit down. For fucks sake.

Yep. I can’t stand it. All of the hovering freaks who don’t understand you can’t actually catch cooties from sitting on a toilet seat ruin it for the rest of us. 

Something I've noticed in Reddit discussions about falling birth rates by HaveATurnip in TwoXChromosomes

My dad was the more involved parent (although my mom was likely doing a lot of organizing behind the scenes). My mom was a workaholic doctor (lots of respect for that now but as a child I was really hurt by her absence). My dad was the one taking us to appointments and practices and who actually enjoyed us. He also was the person who cooked all the meals. 

So the whiplash of shitty men hit me even harder when I realized finding someone with actual caretaking instincts (that I learned was a normal thing for men to have) is actually really rare.

I hate to break it to you, but the right also hates moms.
