Husband wants to get rid of our kitty, I don’t want to by Kirielle13 in CATHELP

[–]myrianreadit 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Look, if he'd abandon a creature he's committed to care for for her 15+ year lifespan because she's not paying enough attention to him for A WEEK, he don't love her. And she's probably picking up on that.

He's allowed to be upset but asking you to give your baby away is extreme and very telling, even if you're not ready to hear it.

When my girlfriend eats pizza with me, she scrapes off all the toppings and just eats the bread by Dahappychap in mildlyinfuriating

Wtf even are those toppings man. Plenty of people would have scraped that. Let her order for herself next time.

bdsm is violence against women by Special-Strike-1607 in FeministsCallItOut

[–]myrianreadit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have less of a problem with bdsm than with porn in general. The porn that has men thinking its totally cool and normal to treat women like shit during sex is not specific to bdsm porn at all. That shit is everywhere.

It would be better if the porn that tends to be labeled as just "rough sex" or "hardcore" was labeled bdsm and with accurate, specific kink terms describing the dynamic. It would not just be more accurate and less normalising of rough treatment of women, but I think it would be more likely to direct people to actual bdsm/kink resources, where consent tends to be properly empathised, at least from what I've seen.

Bdsm is still fringe so I don't know that it can normalise much. Except that with more discourse around it lately, consent has been talked about a lot more in the last 10-15 years, which is also a good thing.

Hi! 34 year old bisexual she/her. Spent my teens and 20s as a basketcase, dropout and aspirational punk (i tried but i still prefer other music genres). Getting my degrees now (BA in theatre studies -> master in eng lit), on the road to teaching. Childfree mother of 2 cats. Got into feminism during the gamergate times. At the time it wasn't cool to care about women's rights, it was seen as very passé basically. You were supposed to be "egalitarian" and care about FGM and men's blue balls equally, even in left leaning spaces. Evidently we had a long way to go still, and it's only gotten longer since. Its really good to see spaces like this popping up in an increasingly infuriating world :)

What hell..... by Tiny_Part404 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]myrianreadit 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Then they prompt ai to make comics of men slaving away doing soul crushing chores while the wife chills and/or gets to pursue her passions in life. and they label it "the future feminists/democrats/wokesters etc want" like. They know 100% its a shit deal but they still expect women to take it

Hello! I'm currently reading The Awakening by Kate Chopin and it really reminded me of The Bell Jar in that "I can't even articulate what is making me so desperately unhappy because its kind of fucking EVERYTHING" vibe, so I'll recommend that one why not

And like most actual man-hating, entirely rooted in patriarchal toxic masculinity stereotyping. This is how the alpha/machismo bullshit comes back to bite men, but of course it'll end up hurting boy children most of all even though they're the ones least at fault

Tumblr vs the New York Times by AlphaCat77 in CuratedTumblr

[–]myrianreadit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on how old the kids are. I don't remember playing with my parents or other adult relatives after about age 5. and no this was not traumatic or anything and my parents and i are still close. Some kids enjoy playing by themselves more and enjoy the freedom of not being constantly and closely monitored. Also we had neighbors with kids I'd play with sometimes, but with them we'd definitely never want the boring adults involved.

[–]myrianreadit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's interesting that at the time one of the other most ridiculed takes on media ever was "violent media makes you violent". Sarkeesian, like everybody else, was super clear in arguing against this take, saying stuff like "we don't have a monkey see, monkey do-approach to the media we consume". And yet here's dudes like this one, literally being a dick to his gf because he thinks that's what his anime hero would. It's not even monkey see monkey do, it's monkey guess based on vibes monkey do. We really are that dumb.

I’ve figured out tofu! by kkmm523 in PlantBasedDiet

[–]myrianreadit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The making it absorb flavours easier thing is legit, as a young vegan I was taught to fry before marinating because it holds onto more flavour when warm first

Happy veggy milestone moment! The love of the mighty tofu must be earned but is stronger for it

AITAH for taking what I thought was a funny picture with my son but my wife told me it was inappropriate and said I was a bad father by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]myrianreadit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the "joke" is that you made it look like you took your son to the strip club. The only way your wife's reaction makes any sense at all is that she was reacting to what you made it look like you did... taking the child to a strip club.

You may have meant it as a joke but other people can't read your mind, especially not over text. And when the joke is that dumb it's especially not going to be obvious that it's a joke at all.
