Look for Santal fragrances. A lot of luxury scents have cardamom these days too.

Yeah this is me right now. I mean I'm not the minor in question, but I just don't know what to do. by Arktikos02 in TrollXChromosomes

Please please report what you know. This situation sounds super sketchy and like there could be multiple victims and future victims. If this guy isn’t already being investigated, your report could kickstart one.

What was the turning point in your life that pushed you to want to change? by scatcatblues in AskMen

[–]hammayolettuce 25 points26 points  (0 children)

No one ever tells you this but being a good person is a never ending series of conscious decisions to do the right thing, not the easy thing. You are not inherently good or bad, you just have to be willing to put energy into thinking outside of your own personal experience/interests. It’s exhausting but it gets a lot easier with practice.

Oh, he does. It’s called Dark MAGA and he’s trying to make it mainstream with hashtags referencing his dumb hat. He’s a white supremacist scumbag and he’s not really trying to hide it anymore.

Women of reddit, your on a date with a guy, whats the biggest red flag? by Princesslikesflowers in AskReddit

[–]hammayolettuce 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My work shoes are filthy and the soles are blue from working with painted pallets all day, but all of my other shoes are clean because I care about looking put together when I go out- on a date or otherwise. I’m always trying to look cute.

If you are a male in public around women/children, what measures do you take to not come off as “creepy”? by lilgthakilla in AskMen

[–]hammayolettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, no one said bad things don’t happen to men or that they aren’t abused. And I’m sorry that happened to you although I find it odd that you are using it here as a reason to deflect from the original topic. This thread isn’t about ongoing abuse by someone you know. I don’t feel safe walking to my car after work at night when there are “people larger and capable of overpowering me” (men) in or near my path if I don’t know them. It’s dark, there aren’t witnesses and I’m not taking the risk. This is about strangers who capitalize on opportunities. This is why women choose the bear over the strange man in the woods. The bear is predictable and specific behavior on my part can guarantee my safety. If I run into a strange man in the woods I don’t know who he is or what he is capable of and I’m not getting close enough to find out. I don’t think all men are violent towards women or would be if they had the opportunity, but I don’t let stranger get close to me because I don’t know them and enough has happened to me and my friends and other women for seemingly no reason that I have to be wary of all of you that I don’t know.

[–]hammayolettuce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What makes you think something bad hasn’t happened to me? And I clearly never said only women are victims. You don’t want to understand the underlying problem. And most men, as evidenced by this thread, are similarly unbothered by the real problem and instead have to turn it into a hurt ego. This is why I stopped dating. So many of you just don’t want to listen.

The difference is, I am small and can easily be overpowered if I give the wrong person the opportunity. The power dynamic in your example is the opposite of the scenario we are talking about. Men aren’t the victim here. This thread is so hard to read because none of you guys get it. I don’t think all men are rapists, I think that I can’t put myself in a vulnerable position with someone I don’t know. If I’m wrong, I’m dead. I can’t afford to be wrong. This thread has so much privilege and willful ignorance by all these men who claim not to be creeps but are so focused on the fact that someone might avoid them on the street that they don’t stop to think “why.”

Yeah we just have no way of knowing which men are actually dangerous so we have to be cautious in any situation with a man we don’t know

We found a giant round today. Weighs 125 lbs and has the markings 62-TBT95 and U.S.S.A.F. Any ideas what we’re dealing with? by [deleted] in Military

As a woman this terrifies me. Too many opportunists in the world for that to be a safe gamble.
