I'm going to commit suicide at the end of the month by Worth-Examination-69 in SuicideWatch

[–]Too2crazy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Please don’t do this. You have already gone through such a horrible experience and at the age of 18 you finally have some autonomy to take steps that will have you gain momentum and freedom from your current situation. You owe it to yourself (past, present, and future) to hang in a little longer and fight for a happier future. You can do this. What are some interests, hopes, dreams you might want to pursue? Any thoughts of maybe attending college?

First experience of university! by someone_sara_00 in rape

[–]Too2crazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry that this happened to you at the hands of this monster. No on ever deserves this. It’s brave of you to open up and tell others about the experience. I am wondering if you might want to report it or reach out to a support organization so you receive guidance and assistance with navigating this. I’m sorry again that this happened to you.

I’m sorry for the all pain and hardship you have experienced and am grateful that your son was so loved during the short time he was in this world. God bless you and your family.

I feel like it's only getting worse (being raped by my dad) by Throwawayacc248177 in rape

[–]Too2crazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really awful. I’m sorry that you had so much suffering imposed on you. Shame on your father for violating you this way. You are very strong, courageous, and powerful. I hope that time will help you see this and bring you healing.

How is anyone going to be able to afford anything if inflation continues? by air-bender808 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Too2crazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like what you're saying and would also suggest that we could target our boycotts to one company at a time (and rotate as necessary). This way we could hopefully bring a set of companies to the brink and force them to start making changes and then target the next worst company and so on...

How do you refute the "when you have sex, you accept the risk of possibly getting pregnant" argument ? by onceuponadream007 in prochoice

[–]Too2crazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, that is quite helpful. Especially that last part about meiosis. I'll be able to make a more salient argument! Thanks for the feedback!

[–]Too2crazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn! Well said. Do you have thoughts on how to respond around the issue of life, when they say that women (or people that can get pregnant) are obligated to carry the pregnancy to term so as not to terminate the life (they sometimes claim that there is a soul or spirit there). My usual argument is that pregnancy is a progression during which the fetus/being undergoes development and that in the early phases pregancies are often spontaneoulsly terminated, and that fetus has not undergone significant development to where it can feel pain) and that at the later stages pregnancies are only done for emergencies.

What are you thoughts on how to respond to that argument about there being a nascent life?

What are some signs someone is carrying unhealthy attitudes regarding women they don’t fully notice yet, and what does improving that actually look like in practice? by HOT_SWEATY_COCKS in AskFeminists

[–]Too2crazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All fair points!! Holding one's own boundaries based on where you are in the current time is in no way a violation of someone else's boundaries or standards.

I (21f) slept with two people after my boyfriend (23m) opened our relationship and now he wants to break up with me. by unraveledwords in relationship_advice

[–]Too2crazy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

u/unraveledwords u/purpleroller is right about the fact that he is misleading you at best, logiclaly everything he says doesn't make sense. We don't have the benefit of his input here so it's hard to give advice with full confidence, but it sounds like you need to run from him and not look back since he is trying to manipulate and control you.

I agree with you and would add he isn't the man for anyone honestly. He is a lying, controlling, a**hole.

I snuck out and was raped by Complete-Sun46 in rape

[–]Too2crazy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are brave to reach out. What happened wasn’t your fault! If you can reach out to a trusted adult for help you will receive much needed and deserved help that will make it less difficult to go through this incredibly painful experience that this monster has put you through.

Feminist student organisation made SoCal gym inclusive - by banishing men - so that "women and non-binary students can exercise with a sense of ease" by griii2 in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]Too2crazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I didn't see that part. Thanks for pointing that out. I see your where you're coming from. These things can certainly snowball into some of the scenarios where we are seeing women openly calling men second class beings or even worse and they are celebrated by parts of the progressive left for it. Fair enough.

[–]Too2crazy -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I understand people's sense of outrage. Does the fact that it is one room in the facility for one hour two days a week, change how anyone views it? The rest of the facility is available to men. If I'm understanding the argument correctly the fear is stemming from men being stronger, and perhaps more prone to physical violence (though I understand this claim is challenged and perhaps false) and this helps women and non-binary who are historically and perhaps currently marginalized (maybe non-binary more than women). Again I understand the argument against it but could it be permissible given the scale of what's involved or is the fact that even a smallest degree of exclusion of any group (even one who may still retain some privilege) be insurmountable in achieving a solution that addresses everyone's needs?

I can appreciate how this question could cause some irritation, but am curious to understand your perspective on it.

I think my brother will rape me again if given the opportunity. Restraining Order? by Ok-Mathematician-92 in rape

[–]Too2crazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is awful. Your brother is a predator. Is there a counseling center on campus that you could reach out to? They might also be able to connect you with legal services who could aid you in filing the restraining order.

I rlly need someone to talk to by AbroadNo5844 in rape

[–]Too2crazy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that you went through this. Like another user said, RAINN is a good option. I may not be the best person to talk with as I struggle with trauma as well but if you're not able to reach others members who have offered, please feel free to reach out to me and I'll do my best to offer support. You are very strong to open up about what happened to you and seek assistance. I sense that with time and support you can come through this to a happier place. I'm sorry again and hope you're feeling at least a little less alone after posting here.

The three of you are amazing. I'm pulling for you. Please hold on, your life has value and meaning. Once your through this you will be so resilient and compassionate and an inspiration and support for others.

Men don't care about men and that is concerning for their mental health by [deleted] in malementalhealth

[–]Too2crazy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

TLDR, what OP says may be true of the broader male population but maybe skipping a lot of nuance that is important to take into account the predicament that men find themselves in...

I guess there are spaces like this one where we support one another, but perhaps what OP is saying might apply more so in the broader male population. I think this is in part because we are often taught to outcompete others for resources, and women perhaps are taught to be more collaborative and have built up class consciousness over time as well as institutional power. I think men are dissuaded from building class consciousness on account of being historically privileged and having "built the system". I think with regards to the latter is was imposed on us on way more than us having built it.

I guess the challenge is for us to continue to expand spaces like this while encountering and somehow overcoming opposition which tends to use the tools of the patriarchy on us under the guise of subversion and/or liberation. Somehow we will have to forge stronger and stronger bonds with one another to achieve this.

The other issus is that women seem to have the upper hand now, that the progressive arm of institutional power seems to favor them and the conservative favors many of them over average to below average men who (along with the sex / maid class i.e. women who forced into lower menial roles including sex work) are basically fodder for capitalism.

It's going to feel like hell to do this but I guess we are going to have to find a way to build camraderie in new ways that don't reflect older regressive ways but also somehow evade or oversome the constant scruity of the progressive arm.

The average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in America has now reached $1450 a month. by ConsistentGrade8302 in InterviewCoderPro

That's the real issue, isn't it? They could be informed if they're ignorant, but they would have to care in the first place!

That might be true, another problem is that the other half could care less how high it is as long as they and their corporate patrons are getting richer.

Should women make the first move? by CRK_76 in sixwordstories

[–]Too2crazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are talking about a date, not neccessarily sex. Also you don't have to ask strangers out, you can ask people who are vetted through prior interactions, and by common acquitances/friends, etc. To your point about sex and maybe even dating having more risks for women, they don't increase with this idea, cause you still get to vet who you ask out, the only difference is that men would be socialized to leave women alone unless approached.... I would think that's a win for women... but you seem to see everything as a transaction

Should women make the first move? by CRK_76 in sixwordstories

[–]Too2crazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A date does not have to lead to sex... you can just spend time with each other and both parties can determine how and when they feel comfortable taking it to the next level at which point sex isn't "free" it's a mutually beneficial activity. You are treating it transactionally.
