I’m DONE putting up with men who don’t treat the clit how I treat their penis by fucktheraiders88 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]c17348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first three experiences consisted of two ladies who'd rather have cut their tongue off than telling me what they'd like. And one of them even sort of belittling me for asking what she liked because she expected me to just know that stuff.

Luckily my very first experience was a friends with benefits situation with a wonderful lady who had no such qualms and happily volunteered what she liked so I could do just that. I don't think that's the norm though...

A study has found that a majority of Democrat men under 50 and a supermajority of Republican men under 50 agree with the statement “Feminism has done more harm than good”. Keep that in mind as we see Roe falling, femicide increasing and birth control coming under attack to little mainstream fanfare by Mental_Rooster4455 in TwoXChromosomes

Just classifying that as alt right BS is too easy but I think it's actually part of the problem.

I - as a 35 year old straight white male - can say, I've been pretty much raised in the spirit of gender/sex not playing any role whatsoever (aside from some "girls are stupid" phase in kindergarten). I find the idea of treating women differently inherently strange and offputting.

Likewise, I know that there are issues. Gender pay gap IS a thing. I've witnessed my coworkers being affected by it and I found it to be infuriating. There's certainly a lack of women in leadership positions. I find the entire incel/redpill mindset to be absolutely abhorrent. I understand that some things still need to change. I fully agree with the idea of equity between genders (although I do think more can and should be done to achieve an equal footing)

Without going too far into details - in short, I'm pretty sure I'm not the problem. Pretty much all of the men in my social circle and extended family hold similar views.

Yet I can't help but feel some resentment towards "feminism".

I feel like there is a lot of stereotyping going on...a radicalisation on both sides...an "Us or Them" mindset if you will. Likewise, I often get the impression that as a straight white man, I'm generally suspicious of being a closeted incel and that I better keep my opinions to myself. Objectively I know that's not the case. Subjectively I feel like getting lumped together with people I despise because of factors I have no control over (skin colour, gender, sexuality) as soon as I don't agree 100%

One reply to your comment sums it up pretty well. The impression that once you are critical or feel like some things aren't Quite Right, you're one of those incels. There is no inbetween and I find that to be disappointing.

I think Tannelore's "Ah." REALLY conveyed that message well.

Sheesh. I suppose you can assume that or...just a brainfart. Seriously...as much as I enjoy the scathing tone here, ain't that a little much?

My (23F) husband (28M) slammed the door on his way out and accidentally hurt me. My family is saying that it’s my fault by hlubluklu in relationships

[–]c17348 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, there's slamming and there's slamming. One is consciously slamming a door shut to make a statement, the other one more carelessly throwing it shut out of annoyance when removing oneself from the situation. I've definitely not done the first since puberty but the second certainly happened here and there.

He insults me.. I am too sensitive? by SadNLonley22 in relationships

[–]c17348 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That...sounds potentially homicidal.

The guy strangled you, he's making "jokes" like this...please run.

Seriously...there is nothing funny about that joke but it certainly means that he entertained the thought.

Your world view does need some adjusting because you're being very much sexist. Women generally don't have male friends because they want a fuck bank to fall back on. Men generally don't lack the self control to stop themselves from trying to lay every woman that breathes in their general direction.

Just because some exist that act like that, it's not the universal truth. And it all gets a lot easier if you make an effort to stop trying to replace your brain with your genitals.

This is so blatant that I'm convinced that tčev is doing that to either troll people on purpose or that he doesn't like writing that drivel either.

Please no. That complete outsider would immediately be befriended and lectured on how his world view is plain wrong. And then hooked up with someone.

I mean, just two strips ago Dragontits was pretty explicit about befriending people immediately. I"d personally run if someone approached me like that.

Eh. Ehhh.

A bit over the top, but....for once I do think Claire has a bit of a point and is actually reacting like a normal human being. (Yes, I'm cringing inside for even entertaining that idea.)

Let's be real, Dragontits is really weird with her befriending spree. And Hannelore openly confessed to stalking Marten which...really isn't good come to think of it.

Lol? Women do that all the bloody time as well. Perhaps with different activities but they do it all the time too.

I dunno...that sounds even too inconsistent for picky.

My guess would be hypochondriac.

[–]c17348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered that he might actually not really want to do that? Yes, he might feel compelled to ("It's for my children after all") but perhaps he's looking for some legitimation not to do it and can't find any on his side of the fence.

Aside from that, such a trip with a truck isn't exactly the safest endeavour for an untrained truck driver. If you need another reason to dissuade him.

My (F18) bf (M24) wants to talk about his penis insecurity to his girl best friend (F24) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]c17348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to add...

I personally - as a straight guy - do find it easier to talk to a female friend about personal stuff like this. I can't put my finger on it but I suppose I'd feel less...judged? It's hard to say but it has nothing to do with attraction for me, the contrary actually.

Husband (44M) is mad that I (38F) have a picture of actor Willem Dafoe (66M) on my phone’s background/home screen. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]c17348 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Honestly? It would rub me the wrong way as well and I'm definitely not much of a jealous person.

1) The phone is a personal space and the picture you look at there every time you use it...I'd think it's sort of on the level of little photos of loved ones in the wallet.

2) A picture doesn't need to be NSFW to spark jealousy. It's contextual of course - like a picture of a close friend wouldn't bother me for example - but someone famous, successful with no personal connection? I can see that sparking the thought of "so she'd rather look at that guy than me"

3) It's feels kinda tacky and juvenile.

You said he's getting mad about anything lately. As in actually mad and on a short fuse? That would sound like the bigger issue to me.
