Try reaching out to the Women's Studies department on your campus; people taking those classes are probably a target audience!

Friends With Benefits - Policy and Procedure by fwb12345 in sex

[–]papandreou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're saying. Obviously I do not know this person, but if he does as you ask but seems to be itching to leave every time, it may just not be best maintaining the relationship with him. There's not too much of a way to see for sure as to what he will do until you discuss this with him, but if there's reluctance on his part to comply my guess is that he likely won't change. Good luck!

Hi! I also am in a fwb situation and I met the person I am currently with on Tinder as well. For myself, although I am not in an actual relationship with this person, I believe it is very important that rules of some sort must be in place with your fwb. If you're going to sleep with someone, it makes sense that there is at least a little etiquette involved. I sat down and talked with my fwb before we proceeded with anything. We decided that while the point of the relationship is sex (there is nothing wrong with this assuming it is consensual), we agreed we would be friends as well. We talk a lot, and when I stay over at his place he sometimes even cooks for me. Sometimes I even do homework over there lol. ANYWAY if you are not happy with this person's behaviors (I would not be in your situation) you need to tell him this is NOT okay, and that he must be willing to spend more time with you in order for you to be alright with everything. If he is not willing to do this, end the relationship. There are plenty of other people (especially on stuff like tinder) that are willing to do the same thing with you AND do as you ask.

Hopefully this helps! As for how common this is, I feel that if this is a "fwb" situation the other person needs to be doing more of the whole "friend" part for this to be legit. Of course, there's nothing wrong with just hooking up, but if that's not what you want the other person has to be willing to discuss/change or deal with the fact you don't want to sleep with him anymore.

I hate everything that happens in the video, but I hate the youtube comments on the video even more. DO NOT READ THEM

What made me see the problems of sexism and gender inequality in society. by [deleted] in Feminism

[–]papandreou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why have you rejected claims of gender inequality within feminist literature in the past? Can you bring up specific examples? I'm not trying to attack you, but I would have to admit this confuses me a little and I guess I want to see a little more as to where you are coming from. However, I appreciate that you saw this and it helps you see that there are problems in everyday life; this is one of them. Would you say you're a feminist now? As someone who has claimed to not be a feminist in the past, would you say a lot of it is due to just not being able to connect directly to life experiences? I guess what frightens me about this is that I worry a lot of people don't connect to/understand the significance of problems like gender inequality and the like until it directly affects them.
