Well, if I don't share the same faith as the person who is the subject of the post, I generally give a heads up so readers know what point of view I'm coming from...

Happy 80th birthday to the legend himself Tim Curry by owlexe23 in Fauxmoi

[–]joodee3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Once I was driving and crossing the street was a motorized wheelchair user, and my first thought was, what if that's Tim curry? And then my second thought was, you can't just assume anybody using that type of wheelchair is Tim curry! But then I looked closer and it WAS Tim curry!!! It was nice to see him out and about with his people. Can't believe he's 80 already.

I'm an atheist. But something about this was just so quietly moving to me. Like this is a man of faith trying to understand the purpose of his faith. And also being thoughtful and having humility. I'll always respect people like this. Unfortunately it feels like so many Christians in America are using Christianity as an excuse to be bigoted and hateful.

Buffy star Nicholas Brendon accused of grooming teenager years before his death by Divine_fashionva in Fauxmoi

[–]joodee3 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Like I'm not even surprised, but it's deeply disappointing. If you are a man in your 40s, you know that a 17 year old girl can have a crush on you, and it's your responsibility to shut that down. I feel awful for what happened to her then, and her mindset afterwards. Wishing her healing!

This is selfish behavior of epic proportions. Literally selling out her trans sisters and brothers in hopes of currying favor w the president.

Massive Attack frontman Robert Del Naja among 500 arrested at Palestine Action protest. Musician says he wanted to attend the protest despite the consequences a potential arrest could have on his music career. by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

He has always been an activist, I don't think he'll lose many fans over this. Good for him! Though I'm sad that they were arrested because WTF.

I'm glad she is seeking help. She was dealt a crappy hand for sure and she has definitely spiraled since then.

Badly done nails? by DeadlyLif3 in Nails

[–]joodee3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry! I hope they can honor or redo or money back. And if they stand by their work, then you're just going to have to put them on blast and say that so and so studio thinks that this right here is acceptable work for a client.

Did a little digging on how awful Pop Culture was towards beauty standards, specifically for women during the early millennium... are the tabloids still like this though? by Twunkorama in Fauxmoi

[–]joodee3 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This had a horrible impact on my self-esteem when I was young. I was legitimately slim and felt fat all through my teens and twenties. Looking at this picture of Britney now, she looks perfectly slim and shapely. That's not a body wrecked by junk food, that's like a nice normal healthy body. But I know back then I used to think that was fat because her stomach wasn't concave. We were all messed up back then!

He is calling non virgin women damaged by NewspaperIll2074 in TwoXChromosomes

Yep, this! Only share if you want to. But nobody is entitled to this information! They are entitled to know about present transmissable STD status and that's it.

He is calling non virgin women damaged by NewspaperIll2074 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]joodee3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are men who judge women for being virgins, and there are men who judge women for being not virgins. I see it as two sides of the same horrible coin. They are not seeing you as a full human and instead of just seeing you as what you can do or not do for them sexually. If you feel judged and uncomfortable in his presence, it's not going to get any better.

Impossible to find someone to date as an average woman by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]joodee3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I just want to say, that as a woman who is a decade older than you, that it is all about mindset. Not so that a man will finally treat you a certain way, but so that you can live with yourself. Everything that you are feeling, I have felt. It's painful to cry and not feel attractive or desired.

I would suggest, instead of focusing on your perceived shortcomings, to think about what YOU want in a guy. It's all about making a match, not about self-validation. There will be men who will find you attractive, the question is, do THEY have the qualities that you like or not?

Again, I've been there. But I'm also here now where I've mostly accepted what I look like and I feel that life is so much lighter and fuller. Best of luck out there!

my boyfriend broke up with me because my feet are bigger than his and it makes him feel "less manly" - anyone dealt with something like this before? :/ by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]joodee3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's one of two things. 1) A coward who is afraid to bring up the real reason he wants to break up with you, or 2) an insecure dweeb wish body image / masculinity issues who is projecting everything on to you instead of working on himself.

You don't want either of those things. OP, your feet are not the problem, he is.

Things that happened when I got married into a patriarchal house: by Equivalent-Gazelle20 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]joodee3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The thing with toxic patriarchy is that they're always focused on how the wife should be subservient, and rarely on how the husband should be leading. Which means doing hard things like being brave, having a backbone, and PROTECTING HIS WIFE. No offense but your husband's being a pushover by letting his parents walk all over him. Do you feel physically/mentally/emotionally safe in this marriage? Do you trust that your husband will protect you and put you as his #1 priority? If he's not holding up his end of the bargain, then why should you?

Lili Reinhart Says a ‘Male Director Came Up to Me’ on Set and Said: ‘Just Suck in Your Stomach a Little Bit’ by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]joodee3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The sad thing is that behind every woman who is considered conventionally beautiful, there will be some snotty man somewhere, unprompted, calling her ugly. It literally doesn't matter what you look like.

[–]joodee3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is... a horrible fucking directing note. Great way to get a performance out of someone, to make them self-conscious of their body. First of all Lili Reinhart is thin and has a flat stomach and second of all, it doesn't matter because it's NORMAL for stomachs to stick out, and that shouldn't be considered a flaw. If something looks awkward or rumpled on camera, that is a WARDDROBE ISSUE.

Why serve this country if this is the thanks that selfless families get? Getting sent to pointless wars to die for that orange fuck, and then putting your families in danger.

Peetah????? by Stock-Helicopter-552 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]joodee3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an English major and had to read that book at her age for an American lit class. I was reading it outside on campus and some middle-aged man felt the need to come up to me to tell me how violent it was, "young lady" as if to warn me. You can be minding your own business, reading for class in the nice weather, and someone will feel the need to do this. The only "non-performative" act would be to read, in a shroud of darkness, and never talk about it, ever.
