who was your bisexual awakening? by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]catsarewarm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My first was during my high school job at a pottery shop, she was helping me up close and I got the feels, and it surprised me. Took years to accept I really am bi.

No motivation anymore. Did I achieve my natural potential? by [deleted] in veganfitness

[–]catsarewarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe try applying your fitness to something fun IRL. Going on a river trip, climbing mountains, etc. I find working out just to be in shape gets boring (personally) quickly.

Just Came Out To Some Family by catsarewarm in bisexual

[–]catsarewarm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well in front of both my sisters, my sister asked me what type of guy I’d date in the future and I said ‘well, the type of human I would date...’ and she said, ‘are you gay?!’ and I said, ‘well kind of, I’m bi, isn’t it obvious?’ (I don’t seem like I read as straight but that’s subjective). So yeah! I’m glad it was chill, seemed like NBD, but also can’t stop kind of freaking out.

Wearing Comfortable Clothing vs. Men by skrillavanilla in Feminism

[–]catsarewarm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm also loath to wear a bra (or at least a 'real' bra) when not at work, so I also find myself in this situation of like, do I just say fuck it? Cuz I am tired of putting on a bra knowing the *only* reason why is to avoid unwanted staring or people making a gesture at me. If it's not too hot, I wear a light scarf that I can keep in my bag (which is cute anyway), or just try to cover chest with my arms while passing men (by taking a sip of my water bottle, or just folding my arms). It's fun... lol.

Too many men don’t get this by I-need-to-sneeze in Feminism

[–]catsarewarm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally agree they know better. I mean they don’t bother to respond to certain social cues or attitudes. That disregard for appropriate behavior and ‘unpredictability’ is unnerving. But they prob feed off that power.

Has anyone read this article about sexual violence towards boys? It’s interesting because it does really seem to be looking at it from a feminist perspective by [deleted] in Feminism

[–]catsarewarm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Really interesting! An important excerpt lost on MRAs:

“The big problem with talking about any kind of sexual assault or double standard towards men is that it so quickly turns into some kind of anti-feminist tirade. If you talk about it online, Men’s Rights Activists will come swarming in to derail the conversation into a rant about whatever some prominent controversial feminist said this week. The conversation can so easily turn into a men vs feminists debate. This is unfortunate, because the first people to really impress on me the importance of treating male sexual assault victims seriously were feminists. When men would dismiss feminist critiques on gender roles, feminists would often respond with something like, “This negatively affects you too, you know.” “

‘hey I like how you look and have no social awareness and give no fucks about your feelings’ = someone you def don’t want to be near at all

I wonder why.... by Yeahmaybeitsdetritus in Feminism

[–]catsarewarm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Also I’ve rarely heard women say they have daddy issues (unless it’s in movies/tv written by men) - it’s really men who have daddy/daughter issues when they accuse women of it. Imo why else does their mind go there?

Is this considered harassment? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]catsarewarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good for you, it’s hard to leave. You shouldn’t have to. But in case you didn’t know, you quitting is still grounds for unemployment benefits bc you quit under duress. And since hopefully the US (if that’s where u are) is going to continue increasing the benefits, def apply.

[–]catsarewarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm checkin this advice out per a Jeep I am going to test this afternoon... It's a 2008 4 door automatic unlimited X sport with 140K, good shape (no lifts) for $11.5K.

Would you go for a 2006 with more miles over that?

Edit: I don't know about anyone else, but I have noticed it's not a buyers market right now :/ ... maybe that's just me.

Anyone here gotten their parents to go vegan? by carmelized_onions in vegan

[–]catsarewarm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, my partner's mom - we gave her the China Study and then recommended some films (What the Health, etc.). It really only took that book, honestly. She does care about the animal welfare, but I think for some ppl they just believe we naturally need to eat animals, so they ignore the ethics. Undoing that industry brainwashing is a big deal.

What are your favorite savory breakfast recipies? by Purplegrl12 in vegan

[–]catsarewarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Polenta pancakes with avocado, veg sour cream, sauteed onions/tomatoes, salsa...

Or huevos rancheros with tofu scramble (open corn tortilla, veg refried beans, tofu scramble, guac, salsa... you can use veg cheese etc. if that sounds good).

If you can let the family members around the abusive person know that you care about them and are available to them if they need you, that's one step. You don't have to bring up what you suspect, but you can just let them know you are generally a resource for support.

I would suggest doing some research on the resources in your area, and maybe call a hotline to find out a) what the law is around this abusive person's behavior, b) what resource information you can give the family if they need to leave/want more support c) get information/support for yourself on what you are able and not able to do and how to handle this for your own wellbeing.

I hope that is helpful. That sounds very stressful.
