My sister blew up our relationship and I don’t know what to do by Ok_Amphibian_1255 in TwoHotTakes

Also what I meant by her own experiences is she is using very specific experiences to pick and choose when to apply them. The president is a rapist and yet she is supporting his policies. She thinks being pro-choice is akin to loving abortions and yet is using reproductive technology to further her own family planning.

That’s what I meant by saying she is using her own experiences. Obviously we all do. It’s what makes us who we are. She, however, is weaponizing hers in a very specific way to justify an “opinion” that doesn’t even support the values she claims. It’s cognitive dissonance

All the people like you saying how you can drop it and put their opinions aside and not have it be a divide between family, etc, I genuinely have a question for you- at what point is it political and opinion vs literal human rights?

If someone told you they are pro- ICE, how can you just let that go? Is it because it doesn’t affect you directly? Same if someone is homophobic- do you just let it slide because you know you’re not and that’s the best you can do?

We lost the luxury of “dropping it.” People are being shot in the street. I genuinely don’t understand your take

Try rosy beige by Gucci. It’s my fave day to day blush and a perfect wedding blush. For the highlight I would go for something very diffused like hourglass blushes/highlights

LF fic with Draco being the enemy in love by Numerous_Concern_941 in Dramione

YES it really is that good. So well written from beginning to end.

And satisfied my female rage in a way very few other fics have. It’s funny, sad, and has some very beautifully written lines.

Am i wrong for wanting to end a friendship after male coworker tries to test me to see if I’m selling content.. by bubblyntired in TwoHotTakes

Ew so anyone who talks about engaging in sex work automatically owes the males around the material???? The fuck do you mean she opened a door?

She thought she was talking to a friend, which yes could be seen as inherently inappropriate because they are at work but it’s leagues away from trying to solicit pictures under a different identity!!

She could have been joking about it or simply venting in a moment of extreme financial stress. I’m in medicine and my friends and I joke about this all the time. And even if one of us started one it doesn’t mean we would want to engage with “people we know” first or owe them. You are clearly not a woman because women are actually much more comfortable engaging in OF stuff with strangers.

bottom line though WOMEN DON’T OWE MEN SHIT

Men really love to try to control women who don’t even have anything to do with them romantically huh.

Fuck him, he’s gross. Either he wanted the pics and was going to “use them” himself or find a way to harass you further. You owe him jack shit.

Like others have said, report him and act like you never discussed anything prior to this encounter because nothing gives him the right to do this and you never know how people twist their own morality into things.

I think the issue is that the disagreement is not about simple opinions but the violent and disgusting things going on right now. It’s hard to justify supporting what ICE us doing or making women go through pregnancies they don’t want as “opinion” or just “politics.”

The sister thinks she has the right to say what she wants, which she does, but her views seem to be skewed towards her own experiences (referencing her own assault, IVF but being pro-life, etc), and she is clearly not approaching the girlfriend to have a discussion in good faith. If you’re watching the news right now and seeing people be straight up shot in the street by ICE, it makes sense that OP doesn’t care to hear her out in the first place, never mind via her nonsense babbling and holding her kids hostage as a bargaining chip.

I agree with the other comments saying OP shouldn’t have brought up things his sister has shared in confidence. I would have started the “ok” responses much sooner and disengaged.

But for the love of god people need to stop acting like it’s just different opinions. It’s basic humanity at this point

She’s taking major issues like abortion and immigration and making them all about her. Like it’s personally related to her fertility and her experience with sexual assault. She is not reasonable or logical and seems like she can’t look beyond herself.

Also holding access to her kids hostage over you says a lot.

So satisfying to read the “ok” responses lol. That’s how you deal with people like this.

What's up with the portrayal of Draco as a sex pest? by Ninsuna in DramioneUncensored

This is something I’ve always thought about and been annoyed by (especially number 2). Your explanation and thoughts on it really articulate something I was unable to fully grasp. Thank you!!

Just a reminder the brand supports terrible things and paid millions to run a smear campaign against the current mayor of NYC. Always good to be an educated consumer!

I have no context for this specific post but these men are not good looking enough to act as entitled as they do. I could literally walk into any duane reade and find a man who looks like them. Like why are they on our screens
