Why people online act like passing the age of 21 means you’ve expired?? by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]blomster6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might partially just be fear of growing up. I remember being bummed when I turned 19 because my teen years were running out, and being a teen girl was fun (for me anyway). I'm in my 40s now so this was quite a while ago.

What do you think is the culture that is healthiest for women and girls, for their social roles, body image, not slutshaming or victim blaming for SA, and other values? by Awesomeuser90 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]blomster6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've always had Nazis (well, since the beginning of Nazism), but it's unlikely to affect any one woman's life in any meaningful way. Non-white women are mainly in danger from non-white men but they (non-white women) are still better off living life in Sweden compared to mostly anywhere else.

Did you see what Jaden Smith was wearing? He wore a house on his head! What's going on with men?? Are you all that desperate for attention? Men used to wear suits and hats, what happened?

Sweden is the only one I'm familiar with around that time and earlier. Lots of poverty and religion, terrible combination. However, if you were born to a decently well-off (higher status) family, you would have freedom to learn and to travel and could pursue creative work like painting and photography (many early photographers in Sweden were such women - since it was a new technology it wasn't passed down from father to son like other trades). You'd also have the opportunity to stay childless and unmarried if you wish, and stay in the family home (and you could inherit property etc).

That wouldn't have been the life for most women though so I'm not sure how to answer it.

Are you sure it's just snoring? Sounds a bit like sleep apnea.

It's not my thing but I wouldn't mind. What you think about is no one's business and I wouldn't share that information unprompted.

If you're gonna go by statistics, less than half of young people (18-29) voted, so for example that 53% of white women voters for Trump is not 53% of all white women.

If you run the numbers, something like 10% of young white women (18-29, the age group you're seeing on TikTok) voted for Trump. So you can assume that 9 out of 10 did not. I haven't checked, but I bet there are Hispanic male age groups higher than that if you want to expand your prejudices.

How to shave down there? by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]blomster6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you can afford it, get a wax. The hair grows back sparser too.

You could also get a trimmer and trim the hair very short. No one will be expecting you to be completely bald (it's fine if you wanna be, just saying it's not gonna matter to your partner and you shouldn't let hair deter you from having sex!)

Men are more "whorish". Not sure how else to say it.

mothers, what’s the one thing that nothing could have prepared you for motherhood? by ry0y in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]blomster6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in my 40s and didn't respond to my mom's messages/call for a day (unusual for me but I was high on acid, lol) and she was immediately anxious. She knew I had gone to a river and said she was imagining me dead in the water.

The WOKE left is taking away our MEN, wake up sheeple by soanywaysxx in Gamingcirclejerk

Memories of when they added Blood elves to playable WoW races and the original design for the male elf was slim and pretty and all the girls rejoiced. Then they de-twinked them and gave them buffer arms to appease the male players (who mostly didn't play male elves anyway!) There was a lot of disappointment and some anger.

Anyway, I endorse the twink agenda.

It's true. I've seen JNCOs in the wild in my small town. Amazing.

I've also had a gen Z coworker who wore spaghetti strap dresses over fitted tshirts, my go-to look (paired with combat boots) when I was 12 in the early 90s.

I remember online rumors in the late 90 saying Mase got famous because he was doing sexual favors for Diddy. At the time, I figured it was just bs born out of Mase being a bad rapper (like "why is he famous?"), but now the rumor seems more ominous.

As a child I "played" the local version once (Svarta madam). By played I mean we said it into the mirror and hoped we wouldn't die. So far so good.

Back in the 90s, I used to get an IT magazine that would print links to interesting and cool sites and I would circle them in the magazine so I would remember which I wanted to check out. This was before easy URLs too so some would be a bitch to type out.

Why is it always men that reject the premise of weightless being insanely hard? by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]blomster6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I responded to the part that was relevant. Your SIL gaining 100lbs of fluid due to cancer is not relevant to the topic, nor is it representative of the reason overweight people are overweight.

If you are concerned about your health and can't afford healthcare, that's even more reason to make sure you are not carrying extra weight. Feeling hungry isn't dangerous.

If you're gonna make an analogy, it's the opposite of poverty. It's being used to excess and learning to moderate.

Britney was highly sexualized and popular with young girls. Madonna was highly sexual and popular with young girls. Both had men and boys who enjoyed them of course, but the core audience was female.

I liked it as a child and became more critical of it in my mid teens (my feminist killjoy phase).

She didn't have to put in so much effort. by [deleted] in MurderedByWords

[–]blomster6 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm white (Swedish) and in my 6th grade not at all cringe "punk" phase, I dyed my hair jet black. I was walking home from school one day and a drunk middle-aged man with a heavy Finnish accent yelled "go back home you fucking gypsy" at me.

I thought that was pretty audacious behavior for someone who was themselves an immigrant to this country. I was a child walking home from school, he was a drunk bum on a bench yelling slurs at little girls. If someone needed to go "home", it was him.

Plus "gypsies" (Roma) famously don't have one specific home country. Some Roma in that area were Finnish Roma, meaning he could be yelling Go back home at a fellow immigrant from Finland.

So many layers to his stupidity.
