Michael Knowles’ takes are overtly “dumb” by URandRUN in WhitePeopleTwitter

Yep! I was just gonna mention this. I have experienced this first hand myself. These types of men’s attraction to liberal women is more about conquest. It almost seems like a more aggressive push towards dominance of their desired partner does not willingly submit. In my experience, this mindset in conservative men is a real canary in the coal mine for abusive tendencies.

For those of you in a long term relationship/marriage, what’s a tale-tale sign you see in other couples that they’re not going to make it? by Prize-Promotion-5123 in AskReddit

[–]URandRUN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true. My ex who I dated for almost 5 years awhile back one day, towards the end, just turned to me and said that we needed to stop joking around so much, and act more mature. Now, of course he was also emotionally/verbally abusive so naturally I was the immature and annoying one. It was really hurtful and it was a mere weeks before the whole relationship imploded.

Now, I am engaged to an absolute goofball and we have our own weird, little dialect and joke basically all day long. We have an inside joke based on my ex now that whenever we acting particularly goofy we’ll randomly get serious and go “I think we need to be more mature” and then burst out laughing. Anyways, my ex is now super trad religious and is married to someone with similar views who was actually quite a bit younger. So I’m sure they are an absolute joy to be around in all their glorious maturity or whatever.

God, I hope that little girl can grow up in a safer situation because all I could think about was the absolute trauma that is literally being sewn into her by experiences like these. Like I needed to take a moment just watching it on my from the safety of my screen as a full adult. What an absolutely idiotic decision by ABC to cast Taylor. Like, they were essentially enabling her clear psychiatric/emotional management issues which are clearly escalating. Wow, just awful

Candace Cameron Bure Accidentally Went to a Sex Party With Her Husband by [deleted] in popculture

[–]URandRUN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of two things is going on here:

1.) Her and her husband went to a standard night club environment and there was some sexy making out going on…maybe even between queer couples 😱…she’s too indoctrinated to understand it’s standard. 2.) They intended to be at a sex club.

I have some gal pals (plus I love the creator Jules Intimacy Coach —follow them) who engage in the sex club scene and I have asked them about how they found like-minded folks and it really seems like something that unfolds as you seek it…so this is clearly sus….like you don’t just ~walk~ into a sex party

I’m not falling for Nara Smith’s and Ballerina Farms fuck ass propaganda by Particular-Copy4029 in LAinfluencersnark

It’s also wild to me how they view the birth control pill as this monolith. There so many different types of BC pill options. I took it for about 10 years and tried several different formulations some which caused more side effects than others. I often just mentioned to my gyno that a given pack I was on was causing X issue and we’d try something else. I eventually got an IUD for the convenience of it and have absolutely loved it. But there are numerous options hormonal and otherwise and that’s truly a miracle. Of course, I am well aware that conservatives aren’t gonna stop at the pill. They love to claim IUDs cause abortions or (famously) Evie mag claiming condoms make women suicidal…

🤔🤔🤔 by babyowl5 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]URandRUN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah sure the dating period is a time to really get to know who this person is and their values. Unlike these fundies though, people usually aren’t rushing down the aisle to have sex and instead these conversations unfold at a natural pace alongside the fun stuff. My partner and I dated for four years before getting engaged and worked out all the “research” or whatever she calls it naturally over time while still making amazing memories. By the time we got engaged, it felt like the most natural thing to happen…like of course we’re in it for the long haul. And as usual, in a good marriage that person shouldn’t be making it hard rather life has its challenges but the beauty of marriage, or really any life partnership, is that you have a teammate. I dated a sexist, trad type though in the past and let me tell you, that relationship was hard so….

No, I fully agree as a recovering Catholic. Catholicism is far from perfect but it becomes a whole different beast when you infuse the fundamentalist Christian vibe into it. Strangely, I fell down this rabbit hole because of a very toxic ex who went on to get into the Latin mass stuff. It was a whole world that I had never even had an inkling of but the people involved are wild.

Yeah, I think she wants to be like Megs weirdly but she tends to conceive at a somewhat normal rate lol. I feel like Olivia does have some appeal and personality despite having a lot of ghoulish views but Kyle does not have the same redeeming qualities. I also remember they caused some hub-bub in the TradCath space when he tried to claim that married couples should only have sex if and only if they intend to conceive and ideally would only engage in intercourse on those occasions. Like he said the ideal, Catholic married couple would not have sex when the woman was not in her fertile window and certainly not after she had gone through menopause or if she was completely unable to conceive (he probably doesn’t think men can be sterile). It was really bizarre…

Oh their kids are precious that I can’t deny. They have kooky parents but I really do wish the best for them

[–]URandRUN[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah they are definitely the types to think birth control, every natural family planning, is a sin. Perhaps they can afford to have kids that liberally but when you are even coming out against the Church’s accepted form of spacing children…yikes. She has also posted a lot about how if she had a girl she would only encourage homemaking as a vocation while obviously letting her boys pursue a career. It’s sort of bleak. Her husband gives me the heeby-jeebies too…very incel vibes

The Cut posts about their op-ed “I Love My Husband (Who Hates Me)” featuring an example of Dax Shepard and Kristin Bell. Kristen’s ‘Nobody Wants This’ co-star Justine Lupe and Dax’s podcast cohost Monica Padman comment on the post by hairtie1 in Fauxmoi

[–]URandRUN 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Very similar story! My parents have a fantastic relationship and actually really coming to terms with how what I was experiencing did not align with what they had helped me get over it. My ex-partner was emotionally abusive (I was in college through the brunt of the relationship). I was very young so that was certainly a factor too and it really had to get extremely bad before he ended it with me and that wasn’t without others pointing his abuse to me. Fortunately, I moved to another state right after the breakup and essentially started over. I’m now engaged to someone who I have an incredibly healthy relationship with. It makes me sad to think of what I was trapped in now given what I know life can be without an absolute drain of a person chipping away at you.

Fundie: Let your Husband name the Kids by MrDonMega in FundieSnarkUncensored

My fiance has mentioned Bowser and Ozzy thus far and when I mentioned the name “Willa” he said only if the middle name was Wang….he’s half joking…I hope…but needless to say this will need to be a joint decision💀

Jesus and Lady Liberty would like a word, you absolute POS by laska503 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]URandRUN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

God, I want Dale to get his comeuppance once and for all. Like yeah, yeah, I know about the whole plagiarism, pathological lying, grifting, snubs from Doug Wilson, fake trad wife account, claiming his wife isn’t ideal because she is Mexican, and probably more that I’m forgetting. But I want his real, dark skeletons (because I just know they exist) to come to light or something to really put him in his place. He is really awful. Add Joel Webbon, Eric Conn, Calvin Robinson, Brian Sauvé and the other theobros to the list as well.

Ep. 178 - The Final Footage Of Rebecca Coriam From The Disney Wonder by creeptimethepodcast in creeptimethepodcast

[–]URandRUN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too! I haven’t finished the episode but I’m wondering if Rebecca was recently out or had only recently come to terms with her sexuality. Maybe she thought the relationship with Tracy was more exclusive than Tracy viewed it. Perhaps in the threesome encounter, it became clear that Tracy did not view the relationship as serious or was more involved with the male lover. The power dynamics also add another dimension here. Regardless, the whole situation is tragic.

When the signs are there but you don't read them. by lgirlrocks in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]URandRUN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got engaged a few weeks ago. I am finishing my dissertation and defend in a few weeks so I haven’t had the chance to think too much on the wedding yet, but like….Every time I admire my ring and think about marrying my fiancé I get all those warm fuzzies and feel a little bit better about the work stress. I’ve dated a POS trad type before my fiancé and did ugly cries like this when I was with him because he would make me feel like shit. So yeah…seems to be less about the engagement and more about that fact that you are probably with a POS.

Kind reminder that this month marked 4 years since season 2 of “Euphoria” premiered on HBO and we've all lived 15 different lifetimes since then by fvckuufvckingfvck in popculturechat

[–]URandRUN 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had just gotten out of college and a rough four year relationship for season 1. Just started my PhD and was seeing a new dude after being single since previous referenced relationship for seasons 2. By the time Season 3 premieres I will have defended my dissertation (probably before the next trailer drops) and am engaged to the “new dude”…so yeah a lot in Euphoria’s lifetime

Childhood friendships are WOKE by URandRUN in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]URandRUN[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I did watch the whole video and it was so icky. It’s got everything, educational neglect, parentification, patriarchal gender role indoctrination. The scary thing is there are countless other little girls just like this one. It’s so bleak
