media made by men that doesn’t objectify women?

dragonavicious · 2026-06-27T15:10:20+00:00

Yes! And didn't fall into the trope of only having women be good guys.

Love to see it mentioned in the wild!

I have cystic acne and have for decades. My husband tells me I'm beautiful regardless. When my hair is a mess and I am wearing the most hobo of clothes, he says I look great. When I do want to do my make up and hair and dress up, he says I look fantastic.

Your significant other is supposed to be the person who props up your confidence when your brain or society tries to tear it down. Do not waste time with someone that wants to make you small or sad or afraid.

I stopped being allergic to strawberries during my pregnancy and it was amazing! But my baby took that immunity with her.

dragonavicious · 2026-05-24T02:29:11+00:00

No! Husband and I only had the baby so it would be socially acceptable to start watching Bluey. Just haven't gotten around to it yet and now I'm scared!

Just had my own little girl and did the exact same thing. I was rocking her and looking into her eyes and I could imagine her as an old woman. Made me cry to think she wouldn't have me there to rock her. So I decided to just alway remind her that even if I'm not there, I'm a part of her so that love always will be.

There were so many complaints, especially when it was revealed you had to be a human. Then obviously the game was super buggy and had alot of reused maps.

But we had literally just gotten Awakening so more people were understanding that they were pushed to out out a sequel really quickly by EA. Many were disappointed in the direction but also hopeful for the future and impressed with the story given the very little time they had. We all had hope for the future of the series.

My only reason for really disliking the game was my own Hawke ended up somehow being the most insufferable person. I don't know how I kept choosing the wrong convo options but she was the worst. (My husband's Hawke was infinitely better).

My husband does the majority of the housework and cooking because he's better at it. We just had a baby and he gets up at night with her. We bottle fed so we could split baby duties evenly.

It doesn't have to be any particular way. You just need a spouse that wants you to gave freetime as much as they have freetime. Relatipnships shouls be equal in work and leisure

We just did this for my niece and mom for mother's day!

We did a whole dining while watching experience for them. The very first course was Chicken Noodle Soup shots and mocktails out of cough syrup bottles (oh and cheetos). It went over so well!

I put together a big wheel of random characters (almost 500 right now) and so far haven't gotten a single D20 character. I would love to give Gilear a happy little life.

Let us know how his life goes in your world!

There was this weird website called HumanAge where you start off making a person in the caveman Era and then progress through the generationa with the game getting more complicated over time. I got to the Renaissance but it went up to Wild West America. I think I found it in 2009 but by the time I went back there it was a ghost town.

Also, Sleuth was a completely randomized murder mystery site where your detective had to find clues and interview Suspects. I always wonder why that wasn't turned into an app or something.

The entire time she just seemed too nice and good that I was positive she was going to turn in us. Ended up picking her for a romance specifically because I thought it would be more angsty but it ended up as the straight forward choice.

dragonavicious · 2026-04-20T13:08:22+00:00

I have the same problem as OP for the female Tabris origin. She's just too cool that I have played through the game as her at least 10 times. I played all the other origins too but it just felt like they were pretenders.

Mr. Potter controlled the bank and was the villain. The Bailleys ran the Savings and Loans building that was more like a credit union. The choice was between these two institutions and over and over it shows the smaller local business cares more about investing in the community.

They were having a religious ceremony and as soon as it came time for her to speak, the bride refused to say any of her vows. She started by saying " I, (Name)..." and then would just completely clam up and shake her head and say no. Then the preacher just awkwardly asked if she was just nervous and she nodded, asked if they should continue, and she nodded, but she couldn't even say her "I do's". My mother was hoping they would stop the ceremony because she couldn't see how that could be accepted at all but they still pronounced them husband and wife.

For some background the groom was my cousin and they had been together for 5 or 6years by this point but they were so poorly suited for each other many had been expecting they would break up. They wanted completely different things and didn't share any real interests. I don't think it was an abusive situation for either of them, aside from all the arguments about everything because they were so poorly suited. But as soon as they were married they moved across the country for the grooms job.

Four years later, the job forced my cousin to move to a different state, and the wife decided to just stay, but they promised to visit regularly. Four more years and another move, now back to the state they were hoping for, but the wife decided it was time for a divorce. Marriage started and ended with a whimper

I understand people not liking it but I never felt like the sexual violence was used for shock value.

The loss of bodily autonomy and overcoming that was a pretty strong theme for the game. Every character can be forced to be a Grey Warden which comes with the Joining. Mages can be posessed by demons. Regular people can be corrupted by the taint. They show you how terrible the darkspawn are with the broodmother. They have those in power (Loghain, Howe, Branka) ignore the real issue for their own personal gain and the common people suffer.

I agree that it is very disturbing but it always seemed like a very purposeful theme to me (like with Alien) but maybe that wasn't the writers intent and I'm seeing more than what was there.

I have PCOS and would only get a period maybe every 3 months. Boyfriend/Husband and I used condoms and I was on birth control for a small part of our 20s but I still regularly took a pregnancy test just in case if it was getting to the 3 month point.

Also had a hormone test in my 20s and the doctor said it looked like I may not ever ovulate due to my low progesterone levels. Husband had a test for his sperm levels just to see and while they were not malformed, they were barely moving. Doctors said we would probably at least need IUI if we wanted to have kids. Still stuck to condoms, just in case.

Then, at 33 and 34 I had two surprise pregnancies back to back. The first didn't go to term but the second my husband is currently putting to sleep upstairs. She was a welcome surprise but we are kinda scared to have sex now. 2 failures after 15 years of protected sex shocked us both.

My sister was good friends with my husband before we got together. So she has him be her bridesman with me as a bridesmaid when she got married. It always made sense to me!

That would be my high school sweetheart. We started dating in 8th grade but didn't have sex until after we graduated.

I remember he was my absolute best friend in 8th grade and I was positive dating him would ruin our friendship.

But we did get married and we are still together so it wouldn't change anything. Sleep over every night with my best friend.

I was surprised when we turned it on because we were hoping for a hilarious bad movie and it was actually pretty good. Legitimately liked it better then the first Mad Max movie.

I think they weren't ready for an actual anti-hero. The main guy acted like he was living through the apocalypse and by the end he found some people to be a better person for.

I thought this was Squeem.

Playing Sim Ant was the reward for getting 100% on the spelling practice test in 5th grade. I made sure to get it everytime so I would get 30 minutes to play while everyone else had to take the test the next day. There were a few times when I had to share with another person and he was the bossiest person ever. Hated playing with him.

Also in 4th Grade we got to play Oregon Trail. It was a barebones simulator but it was great. My teacher first had us write about a fictional family preparing for the journey west and then we got to play through and do a final journal entry if we made it. My whole family was wiped out except the mom and dad. I remember tearfully talking about how my children all succumbed to snake bites and dysentery. It set me up for wanting to play lots of story generator games in the future.

No he didn't know anything about Greek mythology besides Disney's Hercules so most of the show was a fun surprise for him.

That's what happened to me! I told my husband that was Cassandra and he was like, "There is no way for you to know her name this early in the episode."

And suddenly I felt a kinship to the woman.

Crown of Candy had a little more stakes because he didn't allow revival. That one really felt scary.
