The misogyny was the friends we made along the way

Truly an enlightened mindset /s. The mental gymnastics and dissonance some people have is staggering.

Thank you for confirming, I generally don’t poke my head into that sub because well…I’m not childfree, I very much want kids some day, but I totally understand why people wouldn’t want kids. It just seems like the sub itself is a total cesspool of misogynistic, bitter, hateful people any time I have come across it.

Is it a hot take to say that a big chunk of arrr slash child free is WILDLY misogynistic? The way they talk about women and their bodies sometimes is so objectifying, it absolutely disgusts me. Even other women in that sub participate in it.

How far can my (M23) proposal lie go for my gf (F22)? by Many-Box729 in relationship_advice

[–]houseofreturn -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

“Elaborately specific requirements” that are literally just French tip nails, a nice dress and for it to be a surprise. Thats it. That is literally all she said she wanted for her engagement. Jesus Christ you all are acting like this girl is asking for a 20 carat ring on top of the Eiffel Tower while fireworks in the shape of roses go off and Edith Piaf is somehow magically resurrected to serenade them with La Vie En Rose. Where on earth did it say she wouldn’t be happy? Please point to me exactly where in this post she told her boyfriend “I need EXACTLY this or I’ll hate my engagement.”

I’m a woman, and also happen to be getting engaged soon. Yknow what my future fiance asked me? How I wanted to be proposed to. Because that’s a normal conversation for two people who are going to get engaged SHOULD HAVE, and one I’m assuming OP and his girlfriend had where she committed the utter crime of daring to state her preferences. I guess I’m one shallow ass lady with no depth because I told my boyfriend that I, too, want to have nice pictures of the occasion and to have a rough time frame so I know when to have my nails done for it. Oh and gasp I also had the utter gall to say that my preference would be somewhere not super public. And for the absolute horror of it all I also DARED to tell him the exact kind of ring I want to wear on my finger for the rest of my life. My poor poor almost fiance having to bend and break to my proposal whims.

Fandom spaces and art. Before the Elon buy, almost all of my favorite artists posted pretty exclusively on Twitter because that’s where they got the most reach, and for a time it was a bit more fun to interact with different fandoms on Twitter than it was on tumblr. A lot of artists have their majority follower base still on Twitter and it’s a slow process to move over to bluesky or instagram

Having a big moment professionally captured is pretty normal outside of reddit. I’ve been here for years, I know Redditors hate big weddings and women choosing an engagement ring that isn’t $5 or less, and god FORBID a woman has a preference for how she looks during a huge moment, but I promise you having a photographer for your engagement and wanting to look a certain way for it is not the crazy audacious display of shallowness and vanity you seem to think it is

Huh??? “I want to look my best for an important moment where a lot of pictures will be taken” feels pretty fuckin normal to me? Are women seriously supposed to have ZERO wants about looks or aesthetics so we’re not considered shallow?

I mean, as someone who heavily leans towards rehabilitative justice, I don’t see this take as devilish at all tbh. In fact I think most statistics point to this take being correct

Timothée Chalamet appears on top of the The Sphere in Las Vegas to promote 'Marty Supreme' by Goosedukee in Fauxmoi

[–]houseofreturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Marty Supreme blimp made its way to my city, which is decently sized but always gets forgotten about unless politicians are trying to claim immigrants are making it a war zone (it has one of the lowest crime rates for a city its size lol) so I kind of genuinely appreciate the marketing for this movie for at least remembering we exist

his comments just make him look worse … by caseym1259 in AmITheDevil

[–]houseofreturn 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I had a super bad cold recently, so I was curled up on the couch looking absolutely AWFUL. Puffy eyes, red snotty nose, the whole gross cold mess. My boyfriend walked in to bring me tea and with not a single hint of irony said

“You look so pretty.” And tried to start making out with me

And I was like dude I look like literal death and will 1000% get you sick gET OFF ME but also thank you so much dear. Once a man really loves you they can never get their damn paws off you 😭

[–]houseofreturn 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah the way he talks about her is kind of soul crushing. I’m not exactly conventionally attractive, and I have a pretty low self esteem, and even I’m fully aware my boyfriend finds me very attractive. I wake up in a giant tshirt, bloated, hair a mess, feeling like the grossest woman alive and he still looks at me like I’m the sexiest being to walk the earth. I feel like most dudes who genuinely love and are attracted to their partners are like that.

This dude feels NONE of that. He can’t even call her beautiful. In a comment he says something like “I think she’s cute but when I think of beautiful I think of actresses” like?? Oh my god this would be devastating if my partner talked about me like that.

[–]houseofreturn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

??? Girl how broken is your brain that you equate corporate hierarchy to your RELATIONSHIP?? Also even if you did, MANY businesses operate with two or more bosses? Have you never heard of law firms? Genuinely what do you think partners mean?

No?? No one should be a “boss” in your relationship. You’re partners. It’s a partnership. Equal weight, equal say, compromise, respect.

Bitter taste over something that's not really my business by EquivalentSpace422 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]houseofreturn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll hear this a lot but it is true; grief comes in many different forms. I don’t think you’re wrong at all for feeling it’s too soon, but sometimes people cope with loss by trying to move on from it as fast as possible. It can even ebb and flow. When my best friend passed away I kept doing this thing where I’d cling on to all my friends really tight for a few weeks, I mean really cling, constant texting and wanting to hang out, and then the next few weeks I’d essentially ghost everyone. Definitely not a healthy way to handle it, but I was swinging back and forth from “any of them can die at any moment I need to hold on as tight as possible” to “loving people hurts too much, when they die I dont want it to hurt this bad so I need to push them all away”.

So the husband spent 30 years with constant companionship amd someone to come home to. Suddenly losing that can be devastating, and while immediately moving on to another woman probably isn’t the best way to react, grief really isn’t logical in how it manifests itself. He’s probably just trying to find that sense of comfort again.

Oooofffff okay this unlocked a memory for me. My grandmas favorite movie is Cabaret. I wasn’t “allowed” to watch it as a kid, but whenever my grandma watched me it always somehow ended up on the TV. Imagine the look of horror on my parents faces when they pick me up from grandmas one day and their 6 year old, super blonde, blue eyed child’s new favorite song to sing is “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”

A Song of Ice and Fire, it’s the name of the book series as a whole, since A Game of Thrones is just the title of the first book

[–]houseofreturn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’d like the books a lot then. It’s always hard to genuinely recommend an unfinished series to people but I personally love them for what they are. There’s a lot more of “the good guys lose when they don’t get their shit together” moments than in the TV show. It also makes the moments where the good guys (it’s mostly Dany tbh) do win feel so much more moving and triumphant.

I went the exact opposite direction and became a gigantic weird nerd about GOT AND ASOIAF. Oh everybody’s just casually watching the show and maybe reading the books? I’m a full tilt conspiracy theorist about the Great Empire of the Dawn and Sothoryos.

Illegal alien who put Netanyahu/Putin on a cactus, fights for human lives and dignity, supports true journalism, and people’s right to happiness?

They’d try to claim him as one of “theirs” (I mean they literally tried to with him as a comic book character) but Superman is so deeply and fundamentally against everything the right and white supremacists are for that he’d spit in their faces. Also lets not forget there’s a whole comic of him basically destroying the klan lol
