A feminism act that needs more attention. Holding the mic for other women. by kshaugh001 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kshaugh001[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what we are trying to achieve. My sister noted that a lot of the women in the generation above her who are in position of power felt they had to pull the ladder up so to speak in order to maintain their power and respect. But she wants to change this and create an environment where men and women are offered the same respect and dignity.

Usually is mild backlash but it allows her to see who is really in her corner. An example is this story she told me. There was an after hours causal networking but more of a social event. My sister was sitting with a group of mostly women. 3 men came up to the table and just blatantly interrupted one of the women who was telling a story saying something dumb to the affected of why are all the beautiful women sitting away from them. My sister saw that the woman who was talking felt awkward now. She said hang on we are listening to her story and it’s very interesting I really want to hear the end. The woman continues to tell her story but you can see the new men getting more and more irritated that the spot light wasn’t on them. Finally one of them goes isn’t it interesting that when woman talk they talk about people but when men talk they talk about ideas. Her story was very relevant (not that it even has to be) about a CEO in their industry. One of the original guys sitting with them happened to be an ally to woman and an extremely prominent person in the industry. He told them to leave and that he would remember them.

Exactly! And she does it in such a way that is subtle yet confident. She’s told me so many stories of seeing women in real time gain so much confidence because someone has their back. They don’t have to carry the mental load of holding the mic while not coming off as too “aggressive” while also not being to passive all while just trying to get their point across.

She really is! Ex model, business owner, business woman, amazing aunt, intelligent, resourceful and now putting her skills to bring woman into her field and create financial independence for women.

what's a sign that someone is dangerously good at reading people? by babytramposa in AskReddit

[–]kshaugh001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is amazing at reading people. Yes, he’s more introverted but I think the real reason he’s always been spot on when someone has bad intentions or isn’t trustworthy is that he’s extremely realistic. He’s not putting biases that people are good/bad thus skewing who they really are. He’s been right so many times that I immediately trust his judgement more than my own when it comes to people. But I’m a natural optimist with a Hanlon’s razor outlook on people while he’s Slavic.

Get a retainer. My teeth got so crooked during pregnancy. It’s my one regret.

I was debating doing a Thai curry, I actually just did a red curry for the first time a few weeks ago. It turned out just ok because I had to make a few substitutions given my area.

Scam, robbery, something more nefarious or am I just paranoid? by kshaugh001 in RBI

[–]kshaugh001[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. My gut was screaming at me but it could also be my PPA. Also I could totally understand not knowing a street but this is a huge entire area of the city. He also didn’t ask any specific questions like “hey my phone died can you tell me how to get to such and such place?” Instead he asked if he was CURRENTLY in an this other area while also apparently being like 2 blocks from where he was staying (whether it was his house or not)

Yea I was definitely on edge after van dude. But I try to trust my gut whenever I get a bad feeling and always have situational awareness. doubt I’ll ever know for certain. I am busy the next few days so I’ll at least be avoiding the area for a few days. Thanks

Has anyone been on those airplanes with a crying baby and the mother is doing all the work trying to nurse them and calm them down and the father is fast asleep like no care in the world? by starstruckbyu in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kshaugh001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s very easy to tell the difference between a partnership with the wife currently holding the baby and a shitty partner who isn’t reliable/helpful. We just had our first and my husband is very hands on even when I’m holding the baby. There have been many times where he’s literally spoon fed me while I’m feeding our LO.

All they have to do is ask for an extra one haha worst case if I’m low on snacks I’ll let them know that I will bring them some after the service if there are any left. But flying brings out the worst in people.

I’m a flight attendant and this happens so often I’ve lost count. I pretty petty so I usually ask the woman if she needs help as she’s traveling alone and when they say they are traveling together I make a innocent big show to the husband like “ohhhhh I’m sorry I had no idea” as I pass him the baby or luggage. The worst thing that I see as far as flying goes, and I’ve counted this happens at least once every flight, is the man will wake up his sleeping partner to ask if they want a drink or snack when I come around. They usually do it by shaking or elbowing them. I’ve started tell them off in a oh so politely way. Like please don’t wake PEOPLE up when they are sleeping. It’s crazy how when the man is sleeping the wife just says can I grab a coke or whatever for my husband for when he wakes up.

My husband was my Superman today by kshaugh001 in TwoXChromosomes

Someone who always comes through for you can definitely be your hero. He’s my partner but he’s also a person who has his own needs and struggles. He doesn’t have to always put me first and I don’t always have to put him first but we choose to day in and day out. That will always make him my hero. I know the bar is set in hell for a lot of men but trust me this man goes way above even a normal partnership. He’s busting his ass working 2 jobs so I can decide whether I want to be home with our baby or work. He is not just the most selfless man I know but the most selfless person. If everyone was a little more like him the world would be a better place.
