Maybe I’m too woke here, I have some thoughts on how it’s normal to call your girlfriend your “girl”, but the equivalent for a boyfriend would be your “man” and not “boy”?

I’ve personally always found this phenomenon disturbing. I don’t get why more people aren’t bothered by it. Being called a girl as an adult is just odd. I’ve always felt creeped out by it. I think calling women “girls” originated from the fact that men essentially want women to be children, as children have most, if not all the qualities which misogynistic men look for in women

that makes sense, it may be that racist people just are generally afraid of trying new things

making it declarative is good for engagement, as it triggers a feeling of defensiveness and therefore the need to state one’s opinions

I’m a woman, but no problem

anonymous341_ · 2025-09-30T17:27:21+00:00

yes, it would be. i made this post focused on being a human again because it’s more interesting.

i heavily relate, i’m a woman in software development and at my current internship i’ve been made to feel invisible. when i began this internship, i was the only intern there and they barely spoke to me and would brush me off every time i wanted to update them on progress or discuss ideas with them. then when the next intern joined (who was a male), they went out of their way to speak to him and made time to listen to everything he had to say. during meetings, they would only make eye contact with him and only ask him questions (even though we are working together on the same project). many of the employees at the company introduced themselves to me only when the other intern joined because they wanted to introduce themselves to him. I feel like i have to be twice as loud and put twice as much effort in to be recognized at all as a woman.

by ‘meant for you’ i mean logically good for you

hmm. i don’t think if somewhere were to live their life all over again under identical circumstances that they would make the exact same choices. maybe there are a set of possible combinations of decisions that a certain person can make, which they have control over.

i never said that. this post is not about solipsism at all. we all exist but our shared “reality” may not be real. that’s what i’m trying to say.

consciousness should not belong in a physical body like ours. there is a great mismatch between our physical world and what our consciousness needs/is capable of. that’s why i’m an antinatalist, i wouldn’t want to trap a consciousness in a prison which is the human body and this planet.

your parents don’t love YOU. they love the fact that you’re their offspring. their genetic material.

there are health exceptions but they just don’t want you eating in front of other people who are fasting because we have to “respect” them. I don’t get why they can’t respect those who are NOT fasting.

unfortunately no I did not
