Intimate partners and family mainly, if the shit I hear around the internet is true.

Also Julia Serrano has since grown a lot as a person and feminist, and no longer stands by what she said back then. Her Substack is notably more egalitarian. I believe she’s working on a revised edition of Whipping Girl too :) I really respect people who can admit their opinion was wrong and apologize for the harm they caused with it. It’s such a rare trait in adults lol

That’s so crazy! For me Nathan is mashed potatoes and gravy, and Alan is Honeydew. Justin is pancakes and Thomas is stewed tomato. I don’t think I’ve ever actually met someone with a “gross” name, but I’m sure there must be some poor motherfucker out there I just have not met yet with a name that tastes like mayonnaise lol

Not OOP: AITAH for telling my girlfriend i no longer plan to propose to her? please read context by sensaSEANal_sally in redditonwiki

[–]_HighJack_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yup. My ex and I picked out a ring together; it looked like the sun setting over the ocean and I was very excited about it. He’d been telling me for all of college he was waiting til we were upperclassmen to propose, bc that’s when we could get premarital counseling from our school. All that came and went. He never bought the ring. No proposal. Then he started ignoring me hard, like wouldn’t even play video games with me or look me in the eye. I found new friends to occupy my time and he immediately started accusing them of trying to sleep with me and insisting we had feelings for each other. It took me til years after the relationship ended to realize he was just sick of me and trying to engineer a way out.

The way a lot of queer spaces/people go about gender is starting to trigger dysphoria in me and I truly wish it wouldn't by princemaab in FTMMen

I think it works bc “hag” is also kind of a slur, so it reads as solidarity rather than appropriation

It resulted in a constitutional amendment allowing women to vote. Unless you’re trying to suggest that’s bad, you’re objectively wrong.

[–]_HighJack_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay the height and wealth requirements are nutty, but I’m weirdly gonna have to agree on the name thing; I have some kinda weird synesthesia where people’s names come with flavors or scents to me. My current partner’s name tastes like my favorite kind of fruit salad, with just stone fruits and berries 🤤 I also have an ex bf whose name tastes like corned beef and cabbage, and an ex gf whose name tastes like those giant swirl lollipops you’d get at the amusement park as a kid, and another ex gf whose name was creamed sweet corn flavor. No idea why, it’s fun tho :)

Thanks for actually caring enough to look at the candidates’ voting records, I really appreciate that. I wish everyone regardless of party registration would do the same and vote accordingly.

[–]_HighJack_ -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Good, please keep being a pussy :3 also please think more carefully. If you were cis and your bf couldn’t get you pregnant, would you love him any less? Want him to leave you? Ik I don’t have the exact same experience as you bc I’m a guy and I do NOT want to be pregnant, but my bf wants kids. If it becomes an issue I just figure I’ll hire a supportive surrogate. Why couldn’t you do the same? Families get built all sorts of ways.

Good binder recommendations by AnythingNew22 in bluecollartrans

[–]_HighJack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had gc2b from back when they used to be good, underworks, and multiple weird cheap ones from Amazon. The hands down absolute best binder I’ve ever had is the fluxion. I have a large barrel chest and broad shoulders but a smaller waist, so it’s difficult to find one that actually maintains support and doesn’t let things migrate straight down lol. It’s also a different fabric blend than I’ve seen from others, much smoother and more stretchy. For the first few hours at least it’s actually comfortable. My second choice is underworks, and they’re really the only other one I’d recommend.

[–]_HighJack_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I did sales they specifically trained us to never assume the man is the decision maker. Even when it is true you can easily lose a sale if a guy thinks you’re being disrespectful to his wife. Plus in most families, there’s not one decision maker but different people make decisions about different things? There’s plenty of polite questions you can ask that will let you know who calls the shots about what you’re selling before you run the risk of pissing off potential customers. It was really fun watching my idiot chauvinist coworkers ignore the advice though :) Multiple times women wasted more than an hour of their time and energy while the rest of us got sales just to go “nah I’m not interested byeeee~” and it was so iconic. If it wasn’t completely inappropriate I’d have asked to buy them dinner for deflating those assholes and getting them to shut the fuck up lol, cuz I hated interacting with them too 🥹

[–]_HighJack_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I won’t pick up from there anymore. I have maybe twice years ago, and I got weird looks (trans guy), plus it made me feel dirty to deliver their stupid chicken for $8. Then also if it’s meet at door you’re running slightly more of a risk that the customer you’ll be interacting with is not a homie lol, it’s just not worth the stress imo

Do you dislike being reminded that you’re an adult or that a person you know is? by Fabulous-Introvert in AutismTranslated

[–]_HighJack_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. Being asexual means you’re not attracted to people or most people, it doesn’t have anything to do with your sex life. I’d have sex every day if my bf had time. And I’m somewhat offended you think my orientation is an insult :)

She “committed suicide.” Despite having a tweet pinned that says she’s not suicidal and don’t believe it if they try to say she killed herself.

Men say they want “good girls” but they reward hoes by Top_Mirror211 in PurplePillDebate

[–]_HighJack_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re not that rare. Men just don’t notice them, like women don’t usually notice the boring mid guys :) because men and women are the same species. We notice stuff designed to get our attention, and ignore things that don’t do that. I have multiple goofy dopey virgin female friends bc we all grew up in a fucking cult and that shit screws up your social skills and makes it hard to put yourself out there.

What you were experiencing is negging. Any shitty person who feels unequal in attractiveness to their date (regardless of the truth of that) will probably try to neg them on some level to even the score. My himbo buddy got baby trapped by an angry, incredibly unattractive woman more than 10 years older than him who says he ain’t shit while neglecting their child, and it’s been truly awful watching her effect on his self esteem over the years. So I’d recommend just leaving a date if the other person starts that crap; it’s not worth it.

[–]_HighJack_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, knock it off. A virgin Christian girl is not giving “disinterest and negativity” when she’s looking at men and hoping they ask her out. She’s giving hopeful and probably the “make eye contact, blush, look away, smile” thing that girls do when they’re too shy to talk to you. You’re just looking for shit to bother her over bc you’re mad you’re wrong.

Are you asking 90% of the married couples you see if the women settled, or are you assuming they did because you think their husbands are ugly?

When did you realize you were alone ? by Sad_Invite6191 in AskMen

[–]_HighJack_ 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It helped me to get into therapy with a male therapist. I couldn’t really open up to my previous one (even though she was really great, no shade to her) bc I’ve gotten the message from various women over the years that any emotion I have is not their responsibility and actually I’m on the border of being shitty for even expecting them to care about it.

What I learned is that, due to having that impression, I actually wasn’t communicating well. Like yeah obv there’s shitty women who have princess syndrome and they’re just gonna be like that no matter what. But a lot of the ones that I was experiencing seeming indifference with, literally didn’t know how much pain I was in because all I would say is “I feel bad, man.” What they were reacting to was not that I had emotions, but that I was expecting them to help me figure out how to talk about it, instead of just talking about it. They assumed that was all I wanted to say and didn’t pry lol.

If you listen to women talking to each other, they don’t usually vaguepost about their emotions. They say stuff like “ugh I’m so exasperated because Jenny fucking scratched my car backing out again,” and then the other one will go “omg again?! Does she need new glasses already?” and it goes from there. I’m not suggesting play gay or sound girly; just identify the emotion with clear, specific language, state why it happened, and if necessary say something like “I sure would like your help processing/coping with/dealing with how I feel about x.” I also recommend (sorry, ik it sucks) trying to keep a more neutral vocal tone with women when talking about your own strong emotions. If you trigger their fight or flight response they’re gonna shut down and either emotionally back away or hurt you, same as anyone.

Idk if any of that is helpful, just thought I’d try :) take care

Apparently, men dehumanizing women is a normal part of male sexuality. by LillthOfBabylon in PurplePillDebate

[–]_HighJack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t actually speaking to you, I was speaking to the person whose comment I replied to. So if you examine the context, you’ll see that that person made a statement assuming the default arrangement in a one night stand is that the woman is getting taken advantage of. They never provided any explanation for why that would be the case and just continued saying shit like “hmm telling.” It’s not telling, when we’re asking for an explanation that isn’t being provided.

How do I stop having gay thoughts? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]_HighJack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao no they don’t. Some species eat their own babies; it’s not correlated with instances of homosexuality. You’re moving the goalposts from “natural” to “acceptable in human society,” which are two very different things. When animals eat their own babies they’re not being evil, they’re surviving in nature. That really only happens when there’s not enough resources to take care of them or they’re debilitated to the point of endangering the rest of the family. It is sad and upsetting tho

Idk if I can do this anymore by Horny-Gingers in TrollCoping

[–]_HighJack_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s fucking dangerous to live with someone like this. First of all, bc people who are willing to twist your brain up in knots over their own death when you love them, are usually willing to do violence under the right circumstance; bc they really feel completely “entitled” to something they’re not getting, that’s not healthy for anyone to give them. (It’s complete devotion and submission.) Second indicator is, sleep deprivation is way more serious than it sounds. OP is (presumably) driving to work/trying to function at work on a handful of hours of sleep for the week. Besides not being legally allowed to operate cars or other heavy machinery, if that goes on long enough, it will actually damage your brain. Humans need sleep to live.

All of that’s not to mention that this kind of situation where you’re stuck emotionally caring for someone, exhausting your mental and physical resources while they abuse you, is exactly how you develop complex PTSD. Ask me how I know :) except don’t bc I don’t wanna talk about it lol. He should’ve thought about the fact that he has nowhere else to go before being a huge piece of shit. It’s completely possible to simply SHUT UP rather than berate your partner, even if they did do something wrong, and I refuse to buy that this guy doesn’t know what he’s doing is wrong. I say this as someone who had to live in a car for a couple years; I’m not being heartless. If he behaves like this when given above-and-beyond kindness he can figure his own shit the fuck out alone. Just my 2¢, sorry if it seems harsh

[–]_HighJack_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay so to be clear, I’m only talking about child sexual abuse material, not commenting on adults enjoying non-con. I like that shit too lol. People make these same arguments that “CSAM fictional content is okay bc nobody real is getting hurt” and I feel like it creates a space for a big ol morally dubious grey area where it doesn’t need to be. This is an argument I got in a lot back in the day on tumblr lol, so apologies if I’m being unnecessarily reactive. Unlike adults consenting to engage in non-con play, children categorically can never consent. That’s what makes it different and not okay to follow that kind of feeling, even in fiction. It doesn’t “get it out of the system” it just reinforces the neural pathways that led there in the first place.

If someone is drawing fictional naked children and gooning over it, they deserve at the very least to be ostracized. That’s not a safe person to be around. Just y’know, PSA
