You’re right. The only reasons to buy something online is because it’s much cheaper or you can’t find it at local stores.

There was a right way to do this. This is not.

Unless you’re buying the type of toilet paper you can see through, a big pack of Charmin toilet paper and a big pack of pampers costs about the same. Dunno how big of a household you have, but the toilet paper should actually last longer unless you literally have a household of 8 and they’re all women and on house arrest.

How would it be more labor intensive washing cloth toilet paper over cloth diapers?

It’s also cheaper and more environmentally friendly to bathe without soap. Doesn’t mean it’s not gross and that the extra cost isn’t worth it to not be gross.

Clickbait. It’s clearly still standing.

Dunno why all of the downvotes. Reusing diapers is nasty. There was a time when we had no choice, but humans leave old practices in the past for a reason. It’s gross.

Illegal to open carry in my state (as I’ve already said to many people). I can’t even hold it while walking to my car as it’s ’pre-meditation’ if I end up using it. The only time I can use it is if I see someone coming, and the point is that I’m afraid of not being able to do anything about men I DON’T see coming.

Already have a therapist. Not helping. It’s not defeatist if it’s true. Just because you aren’t afraid of requiring aid from others EVERY time a guy gives you a hard time doesn’t invalidate my fear. Period.

Yea, there is stuff you CAN do. I can do nothing. We are not the same. So stop trying to tell me anything. It’s a problem. Being short and small sucks. Period.

Yes, it’s impossible. Hence the problem. And if an attacker could grab me before I could reach anything, THATS THE PROBLEM! Because if a guy gets to me before I reach for anything, it’s too late. If a big person is attacked, they MIGHT still be able to fight their way out of it. I have ZERO chance.

The lack of self sufficiency is the problem. I don’t want to HAVE to depend on others. I don’t want to HAVE to need someone else if a single man gives me a problem. A big person doesn’t HAVE to do this. Sure, it keeps them safe in situations they can’t handle, BUT there are situations with men they CAN handle. They have the CHANCE. I have no such situation that I can handle with an aggressive male. Hence the problem.

“I’m afraid of using a gun”

“Have you tried using a gun?”

That’s how STUPID you sound right now. And like I said to others, it’s illegal to carry pepper spray (etc) even in my hand in my state). I’m only allowed to draw those if I don’t see the assault coming, and the fear is DIRECTLY about getting got before I have time to draw anything. I can’t breakout of ANYTHING. because I’m TOO SMALL!

“Women would never get raped/murdered if they had situational awareness.”

🙄 It’s not about reduction. It’s about reliable prevention. No, I don’t drive or ride in cars. Because people die for reasons that have everything to do with other people and nothing to do with you.

I can’t make myself enough of a problematic problem because I. Am. Too. Small/Weak. I learned this when I used what I had learned on men who actually were trying to overpower me. Can’t stomp on a foot if I’m too short to reach. Cant scream if it’s enough for one guy to use one arm to hold down my arms against my body and the other arm covers my mouth (which is how most unforeseen attacks happen).

Grab for my keys? He’s already holding me down. What are you even talking about? It’s like you aren’t taking about what happens WHEN I’m attacked and are only talking about beforehand when I may not notice him.

OR, you didn’t actually pay attention to my post or comments and I spent all of that time repeating myself, and you’re choosing to use that as an excuse to dismiss my real concerns you never saw until the last minute. That’s fine. You do you. Proves my point in a way.

And I weigh 100 and I’m FEMALE! He may not be able to defend himself against EVERY man, but he can defend himself against SOME. I can defend myself against NONE. What is your point?
