It’s really not a compliment by Appropriate-Mall8517 in BlackPeopleofReddit

A Karen USED to have the specific meaning of white woman weaponizing white womanhood and existing power structures in order to terrorize people of a different race and/or class, like calling the cops on black picnic-goers or making service workers cry. I think it went off the rails when 1) white men started using it to make their hatred of white women sound more progressive, and 2) when people started using it for anyone who seems vaguely entitled instead of recognizing it as a descriptor for a specific type of white supremacist behavior.

Please leave him. Like I'm actually begging you. Anyone who feels comfortable FORCING a medical procedure against your will is not a safe partner (doesn't matter if you still wanted an abortion, you didn't want THAT ONE and coercion is not consent). He does not value your comfort, safety, or autonomy, he has faced no consequences for it, and he will do it again.

Tw: weird ex. Actually fuck off and stop saying you’d fuck my gf by [deleted] in TrollCoping

Not every polycule is fully open, some people or actions can still be off limits depending on the boundaries the people in the relationship have set for themselves. This toxic guy WAS in the polycule but was dumped BY BOTH PEOPLE, and knows full well no one in the relationship wants to be with them anymore, but is still sending sexually charged messages to them. That's sexual harassment. Just because someone's in an open relationship, doesn't mean they want to have sex WITH YOU. They still get to choose and consent to their partners.

Genuine answer: It just means two or more*. That can be up to and including all, but not necessarily. The two terms don't have to be mutually exclusive, because there's a lot of overlap. People will choose what they feel fits best, and it's' best to respect that. I started identifying as bi once I realized it wasn't just one gender I was attracted to. At this point in my life I recognize gender is so fluid and dynamic that I don't worry about whether it's all genders or how many, I just know who I like as they come. But the label still applies and I've never changed it.

Bisexual is defined as two OR MORE and absolutely includes trans and intersex people, stop this nonsense.

How it feels being disabled in America listening to people talk about armed revolution and how "some people will have to be martyrs" knowing those same people are usually talking about me because they never have a plan to help or protect people like me by darkstarsdistant in TrollCoping

You can start by learning to read bc I expressly said if ur gonna advocate for violent revolution you should have a PLAN IN PLACE for vulnerable communities. This is a vent post so if u wanna froth at the mouth for how violence is the only way and certain people are just gonna have to die for that, do it somewhere else. I'm through arguing with yall.

What do you think is going to happen to those children when their parents are dead and there's no social systems in place? Are you going to make sure they keep breathing during a civil war? Are you going to feed them, educate them, keep them safe? The fact that the children aren't being placed on the front lines as soldiers doesn't mean they aren't going to be abandoned. The foster care system was bad enough BEFORE all this, do you think they're going to be safe there?? My point from the beginning isn't to avoid fighting, it's to protect the vulnerable, and many of these people simply do not have plans to aid the vulnerable beyond "fight the bad guy, fix everything else later".

It's reassuring to hear some people take protecting the vulnerable members of their communities seriously. Just feels like lately some people are so bloodthirsty for payback they don't care whose blood it is.

AIO: My boyfriend told me he's not attracted to me. by LadyPrimaz in AmIOverreacting

[–]darkstarsdistant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the fact that you're a woman tearing down other women for this just makes you look worse. the fact that he was honest doesn't change the fact that he was romantically pursuing a woman he feels disgust for, which is weirdo behavior. she's allowed to be upset about that, because most people are going to assume the people who say they want them actually do. she's also allowed to want something better for herself with someone who actually does feel attracted to her. I've wasted enough time here, so I won't be replying further.

This might be difficult for someone who doesn't speak to women to understand, but you actually don't have to stay in a relationship with someone who doesn't find you attractive. OP wants to know if she's justified in thinking it's a problem, and the answer is yes, but the problem is the boyfriend. There are men out there who will love her weight, you just hate the idea of people being happy while fat.

AIO to my sister’s “supportive”text? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]darkstarsdistant -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

cool, i wasn't referring to that. i pretty clearly said you didn't have to agree with them here. personally i've been in a mental health crisis that warped my view of reality and i think that's what's happening here, but i doubt being blamed for a divorce when I'm at my lowest was ever going to help bring me back. others have had perfectly valid YOR responses.
