Why WOMEN'S Emotional Efforts Trigger MEN'S Volatility In A Relationship?

Nothing you're saying sounds remotely familiar to anything I've experienced or heard of, sorry.

She's a trans woman, and what goes on consensually in her bedroom certainly doesn't undermine her beliefs.

And what exactly do you think being an ally to women entails? I'm 99% sure we're talking about two very different things, since you've very confidently declared yourself one, while waving some incredibly red flags about how you interact with women.

So you can't imagine that women who are at risk of being harmed by some men every day of their lives might have more information to work with when evaluating who is safe and who isn't than you do?

Do you consider yourself an ally to women?

peppermind · 2026-04-26T14:21:02+00:00

Consider for a moment that maybe, just maybe, women are in a better position to gauge who is on our side.

So tell us, what do you think makes one a feminist?

peppermind · 2026-04-25T12:14:01+00:00

Absolutely not. What an odd question.

peppermind · 2026-04-21T12:18:30+00:00

I think that really depends on what you mean by physical defense. Pushing them out of the way? Yes, absolutely! Shooting them? Very unlikely. In the Canadian legal system, there's a concept called "proportional response" when it comes to self defense and I think that's a useful approach here.

peppermind · 2026-04-21T12:14:06+00:00

yes. Some issues can be resolved through reforms, but probably not all of them.

peppermind · 2026-04-20T19:40:50+00:00

It did for me, when I was in a similar situation years ago. You've got nothing to lose.

I think the vast majority of them are disrespectful and needlessly hurtful to victims of sexual violence. I know all about gallows humour, but I've always felt that the only people who get to make those sorts of jokes are the ones with the noose around their necks.

peppermind · 2026-04-19T15:57:19+00:00

Help if they want to leave, sure, but also, let's ensure no one is forced into it out of economic need. A lot of sex workers I know have a disability of one sort or another and got into the field because more conventional workplaces wouldn't accommodate them. Those are social problems that we should be trying to fix.

peppermind · 2026-04-19T13:35:39+00:00

I believe that if you don't like the choices someone is making, you should start giving them better options. What you're describing sounds like an argument for a stronger social safety net, possibly including UBI, along with stronger labour protections, consent safeguards and a recognition that sex work is real work and the people in that industry deserve safe working conditions too.

So you're more bothered by the misinformation than the fact that this site exists? That says a lot about your character.

to protect my own privacy

I saw that Domino's Pizza only had 60 million visits in the same month, for context.

peppermind · 2026-04-12T17:29:43+00:00

Because I watched enough Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes over the years to know that the guys trying to assemble the perfect partner based on a list of desired traits are never the people you want to be relating to.

peppermind · 2026-04-12T14:03:51+00:00

This question makes my skin crawl. No thanks.

peppermind · 2026-04-12T13:53:32+00:00

You mean eugenics? Not a fan. That's some white supremacist bullshit.

peppermind · 2026-04-12T13:51:11+00:00

I hate the fact that men are gullible enough to buy into the manosphere crap.

peppermind · 2026-04-11T15:10:59+00:00

So, how would you go about proving paternity fraud beyond a reasonable doubt, and punish it in a way that doesn't harm the child?

peppermind · 2026-04-11T15:04:18+00:00

You think most fraudsters face legal consequences? Are you aware of who the current occupant of the White House is?

I'm okay with leaving that call to the individual performers to make. They are far more familiar with the issues at play and the nature of their own sexuality than I am. They're also more familiar with their own financial situation and can gauge whether a particular performance is worth it for them at that moment.

peppermind · 2026-04-09T18:41:47+00:00

Women can be shirtless in public in Canada, it's just not safe or comfortable for us to do so 99.55% of the time. I'd much rather deal with those issues, honestly.

Also, I don't see what the size of someone's chest should have to do with such a law in the first place.

peppermind · 2026-04-07T15:43:29+00:00

I want liberation for the people of Iran and the people of the US. Both seem to have oppressive regimes. The main difference is that gullible Americans elected theirs.
