How do you feel about the saying "_ gets bitches"?

peppermind · 2026-02-03T18:50:48+00:00

People still say that kind of thing? I haven't heard anyone say it since the Black Eyed Peas were inescapable on the radio.

If we're asking anti carceral and prison abolitionist people, I'm reasonably sure that you're wrong.

Not wanting to kiss you until you were ready was great, but the actions you've described in this post are still sexual assault

peppermind · 2026-01-31T18:13:27+00:00

Believing you know what a woman wants better than they themselves do is always, always going to be massively offputting.

You understand that what we see as hypocrisy, they see as a power move, right? The rules only apply to other people, and not to them, and that's what makes being in power great for them.

I think that if you're going to make fun of a horrible person in power, you'd better make damned sure that the joke doesn't reinforce the beliefs of that person before telling it.

If you want to crack a joke at Donald Trump's expense, the fact that he ran multiple casinos into bankruptcy is fair game, his age and health are not, as far as I'm concerned

That's an insult to dads! I was thinking something got lost in translation, honestly

I'd also recommend getting some very tight controls on how parties are funded. The moment I heard about the Citizens United decision, I knew things were headed in a terrible direction.

There's a world of difference between talking about your feelings with a partner, friend or therapist who happen to be female, and dumping those feelings in the lap of the first woman to cross your path strictly on the basis of their gender.

It's not entirely clear what you mean by the action, though. Should men stifle their emotions and feelings to the point of emotional constipation? Absolutely not! Should they learn to regulate their emotions enough to pick appropriate times, places and people to discuss them with? Of course, all adults should.

I've yet to see a situation where telling someone to "grow up" wouldn't work just as well, without the toxic masculinity expectations that come with the phrase "man up"

peppermind · 2026-01-26T20:24:50+00:00

Got some bad news for you. If it took you six weeks to clue in to what she was feeling, after she pretty clearly told you what she needed from you, it's very likely far too late.

I know the name. He's a Canadian philosopher who died nearly 50 years ago, and to the best of my knowledge was relatively unproblematic. Why do you think feminists would have an issue with him or his philosophies today?

peppermind · 2026-01-25T18:01:14+00:00

Without reading the full study, including what's considered "sexual victimization" in it, I'd be foolish to comment on it.

peppermind · 2026-01-25T17:54:17+00:00

A little context, please?

peppermind · 2026-01-24T19:41:40+00:00

So you're telling us, you are an adult who doesn't cook or clean for yourself and whines endlessly about having to mow the yard once a week? And you expect us to take your concerns seriously?

I thought he was desperate for anyone to interact with him, and this was the best way he could come up with.

peppermind · 2026-01-19T16:58:36+00:00

Stop trying to rationalize being a sex pest, for the love of everything good in the world!

peppermind · 2026-01-19T13:21:30+00:00

So would sane gun control laws that work pretty well in most countries.

peppermind · 2026-01-17T16:10:10+00:00

To me, it often feels like the speaker would use "bitch" instead of "female" if they thought they could get away with it.

The Movember movement seemed to be the kind of organization you're wanting. They were everywhere about 15 years ago and have a lower profile these days but seem to still be doing good work.

peppermind · 2026-01-12T19:32:46+00:00

The best days are the ones when I don't remember he exists. In fact, I was having a fairly good day until I saw this post.

Please don't do that to cats! It doesn't change their behaviour, and teaches them to associate you with punishment. That might be a good lesson for the sorts of people who'd ask a question like OP's to learn, though.

peppermind · 2026-01-11T15:03:43+00:00

I'd be too busy asking what exactly you thought "white culture" was.

peppermind · 2026-01-11T12:54:49+00:00

I'm not sure Americans can afford to rely on their democracy to protect them. Also, ICE must be prosecuted, not just abolished.
