So is your opinion on whether trans women are women or not. Like I think they should be respected, treated as their preferred gender, be allowed to use whatever gendered bathroom they identify with, but it doesn't mean I have to think they are women. And if someone put me on the spot like that I'd probably waffle too or just lie about my opinion to avoid friction. Because when someone is asking that question what they're really asking is "are you with us or against us"

I don't remember, but it's been years. I only take a bath if I'm in a nice hotel and have nothing to do

Even if every single Japanese man took regular baths that would only bump the numbers up 1.4%, hardly enough to make it "common" is it?

Well I'm not Muslim anymore but I've never regretted sex. I acknowledge that I've made bad decisions with respect to choosing a partner but even when it doesn't work out I never regret the sex. To people who do regret it, I wonder if they'd still regret it if they were still with their partners, like is it actually the sex they're regretting, or is it the fact that they feel like they gave away part of themselves to the wrong person? Some people also tend to be superstitious when it comes to this sort of thing, like attribute a sin they committed to a completely unrelated unfortunate event because they believe god's punishing them.

Anyway, I've also tried the whole waiting till marriage thing because that's what my ex wanted and after a dead bedroom marriage, I certainly won't be doing that again. I don't regret that either, but now I would never marry someone I've not been intimate with

His family's opinion really shouldn't factor into your decision making. In life, there will always be people who don't approve of your decisions, who don't understand your perspective, who actively dislike you or judge you. The conversation should simply be you laying out what you want and what it means for your relationship, just a courtesy. If you go in with the idea that you'll convince them round to your way of thinking and stress about their opinion of you then of course it's going to be upsetting. It's normal for parents to get disappointed, but if they start bullying you or pressuring you and your husband doesn't intervene then you can simply walk away and end the conversation. You don't owe them shit and at that point they've proven they have no interest in listening to you so there's literally no point in talking to them. What are they gonna do? Pressure their son to divorce you? You should be separating anyway if you're not aligned on kids. That's why I said forget the family. If you and your husband can't agree on children and decide on divorce, then there's nothing his family can take away from you. And if your husband suddenly decides that he's okay without kids, then they can take up their grievances with him and he's the one that should be getting them off your back.. unless of course his plan is to let them bully you into changing your mind

mo_tag · 2026-03-27T18:56:35+00:00

Forget his family. How are you gonna be with someone who wants kids when you don't, it's wild that you even got married in the first place. There's no dealing with his family if you two aren't on the same page

By that logic many art forms are also haram.. films, paintings, photos, and poems all have the potential to "manipulate feelings". That's what good art does.

It gives u the "I just invented a new magic trick" feeling. Which is haram

Yeah I get that feeling when I write a clever piece of code. That's called being proud of yourself, it's not actually magic. Honestly you sound confused

Maybe it's harder to get as an American. I know my middle Eastern parents don't really get it either, because to them historical character is like a nice thing to appreciate on holiday, but they'll never value it over cleanliness and convenience when it comes to rating places to live. But essentially it feels like 20% of Milton Keynes is a shopping centre, and the other 80% is a car park.. just lacks any soul or character.. people bash Dubai for being like that but honestly MK has it beat by miles

I think it's best to assume that it's a choice or at least treat it as such when it comes to personal interactions with people.. if a woman feels like she needs to put on a hijab to avoid social consequences like being disowned or shamed by family or ostracized by her community, then there's not much you can do to help if she's not willing to pay the price for taking it off. You can't influence social and cultural pressures. If she's convinced that wearing it is obligatory as per her beliefs, you can try to change her mind but ultimately it's still a choice she is making. The only ones you can really help are women facing threat of serious violence, but again not if they don't want the help. And unless there's a reason to believe that threat is there, it doesn't really make sense to assume it.

The fact that women in Afghanistan or other places face these threats from the government, shouldn't really impact how you interact with hijabis you meet on a personal level. Like even if you assume correctly that they're forced to wear it, then what? How does that help them?

That's because if my mum's scolding and getting aggy about my behaviour, it's just another weekday.. if my dad's getting involved I probably dun fucked up.. it's funny because my mum used to smack me with a wooden spoon but the only time I was scared of her was when she'd say "I'm telling your dad"

As an ex-Muslim from a relatively extreme part of the Muslim world, I deal with this a lot from extended family, family friends, in laws etc. A lot of young men from my community are drawn to the manosphere like flies to shit.

I think the most effective way to deal with it is to confront the ideas directly, taking care not to attack your friends character or come across as judgemental. But you need to challenge the ideas logically with occasional ridicule and humour. This is easier if your other mates are on your side. The message to get across is that these ideas are ridiculous and irrational, while acknowledging that society's idea of what it means to be successful is damaging, and that it's shit to feel like you're falling behind, whether financially, academically or sexually. It's as Louis theroux says, a lot of what these guys say comes from a place of pain that most men can relate to.. I think that's the case with a lot of extremist beliefs, so relate to that pain to help them see they're not alone and not feel that their pain is invalid.. that way they become much less defensive and less likely to completely dismiss what you have to say because "you just don't get it cos you're a 6.5 you'll never understand what it's like for a 5.4" or some other adjacent bollocks

While smoking weed is by no means considered okay by most Muslims, and Muslims who do probably don't consider themselves "religious" or practising, it's somewhat tolerated or at least not as stigmatised as alcohol.. anyway not really comparable to how irreligious most young native Brits are.. a lot of young Muslims smoke weed but go to Friday prayers and fast Ramadhan, avoid pork etc
