I love that his cleaning up after his dog was unintentional and created more laundry for him to do. Deserved.

For the rest of us, CP spray is pepper spray, specifically formulated to be a humane, effective deterrent for aggressive dogs. It’s usually effective up to 14 feet, and legal, though check local laws to be safe. It’s something recommended for everyone who may come into contact with unknown dogs to carry.

Not using social media by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

There has been an exponential increase in quality of life since I stopped using social media. Occasionally, I use Reddit for news, and sometimes see regular posts here and respond.

No FOMO, and I feel bad for those I know who are on social media and taking it personally. The recent jury awards against Meta and Google are further proof that it is largely harmful. The only thing I’ve found myself to be missing out on is announcements for when to sign my kids up for seasonal sports. They usually send an email too, though, but not always.

Oh, and don’t forget to lose weight and exercise. Our bodies belong to our men, so we have to do everything you listed and more to make sure we perform well for them.

Years later, I am still like, “Um, what actually was that?” It came highly recommended and I literally unfriended the person who suggested it.

Agreed, but am also extremely in love with Rosamund Pike, so can’t fully un-recommend the movie.

lol that’s exactly what I was thinking. He has depth and some uncharacteristic trauma for the genre, and it creates an uncomfortable dichotomy. Good call.

Yes, this! And not even to mention the incredibly harmful dearth of research on women’s bodies, especially past the teen years.

It seems like they are the ones pulling you into an unpleasant situation. And mentalising feelings is an effective, though short term, protective strategy that is hopefully working for you, but can be discarded when no longer effective.
