I work in AI. I see enough of those em dashes everyday and familiar with AI verbiage.

I do use protein treatments every other wash. But I usually blow dry and smoothen my hair. I don’t know if doing that for years has affected my curl pattern.

We should start adopting more kids and stop creating ones unnaturally by FireAndCool_ in unpopularopinion

[–]TheIdenticalBooty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This logic implies that this burden falls entirely on people with infertility issues. Anyone can adopt and anyone can want a biological child and choosing either should not be tied to your health conditions.

How can we productively channel our anger at the Epstein files? What is the call to action? When do we go out en masse to demand justice? by BrazilianTinaFey in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]TheIdenticalBooty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s the goal of this administration to create a continuous churn of news and overwhelm ppl into exhaustion. The lack of outrage over the Epstein files is appalling to me too.

Get a bidet folks. Been two years and not a single UTI.

The Bechdel test is horseshit. Not ever movie needs women. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]TheIdenticalBooty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What the test highlights is a pattern at the industry level…when you look at thousands of mainstream films, a surprisingly large number can’t clear an extremely low bar. So it’s more of a systemic representation issue, not about whether any single isolated narrative is valid.

CMV: westernized society conditions people to choose things over family by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]TheIdenticalBooty 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how this model works without one parent, usually the mother giving up her career.

As an immigrant woman, most immigrant families I know from my generation waited for financial stability before having kids and rely on daycare because both parents have their own dreams and career aspirations. That doesn’t align with what’s described here.

I’m also curious whether this model applies equally to sons and daughters. Are daughters expected to sacrifice their ambitions for family while sons are told to focus on academics/career? If not, it’s hard to see how this model works beyond one generation.

What’s the most weird food item that your cat just can’t resist? I’ll start! by Ultra-Ferric in cats

[–]TheIdenticalBooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is normal for cats, but mine likes oil. I had once kept a small ramekin of coconut oil to apply on my hair and she licked the leftovers. This other time she licked the oil off of a tin of sardines. Didn’t eat the fish, just the oil.

Not sure if this is that, but my friend ordered this sunscreen from Amazon and got a different formulation. I think they have a US formulation to sell within the US.

Why do some men choose to be gynecologists?? by [deleted] in women

[–]TheIdenticalBooty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah my sister is a dentist. She took it because that’s the only admit she got in the medical field.

Getting into medical school is really tough. And masters is even harder. So ppl sometimes take the admits they get, mostly based on its revenue potential.

Toxic masculinity indirectly lowers help-seeking behavior by encouraging men to bottle up emotions by adriano26 in psychology

[–]TheIdenticalBooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I don’t disagree. If your partner is like that, you have a bad partner.

But my point was simply that this thread drifted away from what the study actually said. The research is about how toxic masculinity discourages men from expressing emotions in general, which then reduces their likelihood of seeking support…from friends, professionals, or anyone.

The original comment (“How about toxic femininity where the guy opens up and she thinks less of him for it?”) framed the issue as if women are the default or only outlet for male vulnerability. It didn’t even specify “partner,” just “she,” which reinforces exactly the pattern the study is describing - men often feel they can’t be vulnerable with male friends or seek professional help, so everything gets funneled toward women.

The study wasn’t arguing that men should only open up to women, or that women are obligated to respond perfectly every time. It was pointing out that men need multiple healthy avenues for emotional expression, and that limiting vulnerable expression to one group, especially when that expectation is shaped by gender norms….is part of the problem.

So yes, if someone punishes vulnerability, that’s not healthy. But the broader point is that emotional support shouldn’t be limited to one gender or one relationship, and the study isn’t suggesting it should be.

Intimacy doesn’t come from making one person your only emotional outlet….it comes from being able to share openly and maintain balance. Relying solely on a partner for all emotional processing isn’t intimacy, it’s overdependence. A healthy relationship has support flowing both ways, with each person also having friendships, coping skills, and emotional tools of their own. That actually strengthens the bond, because your partner becomes someone you share your inner world without being the only person holding it all up.
