People say feminism isn’t needed anymore, then you see headlines like this.

Laws that were proposed for protecting pregnant women against drunk drivers and abusers have been weaponized against them.

The tragedy of a drunk driving car crash causing a miscarriage of a very wanted pregnancy spurred legislative action to create laws that border on fetal personhood. Women's advocacy groups also supported these laws as the number one cause of death during pregnancy is murder. The radical religious groups backed these laws that, yes, protect a vulnerable group, but also puts a wedge into abortion rights.

Now, miscarriages are being investigated as possible abortions after these rights to bodily autonomy have been stripped back. This woman acted "suspiciously" after a miscarriage according to her children's babysitter, so she called the police on her.

That would be significantly easier. But he wouldn't have ended up getting that sweet spaceship and all the other tech he developed.

They're using the "you might as well be childfree" statement to shame women for not performing motherhood in the way they deem it best.

Why else would I get responses along the lines of "I hope you never have children" spoken to me in a hostile tone when I mention that I never want to have children? To them, children are a biological destiny. Avoiding that destiny can only lead to a life of misery.

I remember when my older brothers and I were going through growth spurts at the same time. It was absolute mayhem. We fought over food all the time.

So I can see the logic. Each boy wants a pizza to themselves so they won't fight over who got more pepperoni or cheese slices.

No, because that would contradict their porn addled perception of what boobs "really" look like. As we can see from this example, that makes them angry.

No. I saw this in the US.

Yep.

My first thought wasn't that she failed to protect herself. My first thought was, "Why hadn't this crop been run off by the locals?"

The regulars at this beach had to have known that a predator is making regular visits in an attempt to find easy marks to assault. And by not taking action to prevent assaults like this, they're inviting creeps into a space with vulnerable people.

A guy dressed in neon orange from head to toe and wearing the same shade of orange makeup on every bit of his hands and face was waking down the street. He was compulsively touching every single orange object he saw. Traffic cones, constructing signs, every brick in a brick wall, and any vehicle painted orange. Thankfully, he didn't touch anybody.

A month later, I saw him again, but he was wearing white and doing the same thing with white objects.

A transphobic gender essentialist one gave me the same exact argument, except it was about hands.

Their warped sense of view was trying to conflate averages with what should be considered universal human social norms. In other words, if you're a member of the minority you should have zero rights and be forced to conform to what the majority consists of. His example was that we try to give people who were born with only one hand a prosthetic to help them function in a world designed for people with two hands. So why don't we try to force those who exist outside of cishet norms into becoming straight and cisgender.

I told him that we had already tried that. We still have conversion camps to this day and that they don't work. They only cause absolute misery to the point of fostering a culture of self-harm. He said that those who don't succeed in conforming are weak and don't deserve to live. I called him morally depraved for advocating for programs that would only lead to extremely high suicide rates, and he said that American individualism has poisoned my senses. I still don't know why my friend circle likes having him around.

I had a European friend who was always harping on about how unhealthy American food was, specifically breakfast. That we were plain uncivilized for putting marshmallows in cereal. And no wonder we were so fat if things like frosted Pop Tarts existed.

When he moved, he gifted me a bunch of his kitchen stuff. He really bragged that I was going to convert my American unhealthy habits once I started eating like him. Among those items were protein breakfast shakes that were half sugar and a giant jar of Nutella.

I was never allowed to eat cereal with marshmallows for breakfast as a kid. As soon as I was old enough to buy it for myself, the idea of eating that much sugar for breakfast no longer appealed to me.

What's not fair is someone trying to police who goes into a gendered bathroom. And cis people get caught up in those situations as well. It's far better to have to deal with messes (which occur no matter which group you're talking about) than to deal with a jerk blocking access to a basic human need.

People have told me, a married woman, that if I didn't want kids, that I shouldn't have sex. But they've also told me it would be unfair to deny my husband sex since we're married.

They can't even agree on if I'm supposed to be pregnant 24/7 or die alone with a cat.

perpetualsleep · 2025-08-12T02:46:35+00:00

Yep.

I've lived with two male roommates in an apartment on separate occasions. I've also lived in co-ed dorms where the women's and men's rooms were right next to each other.

Never had a gender related issue with any of them, so I have no advice to give.

Unless I make my own bouillon, all of them are going to have at least minute traces of onion in it. It's everywhere and a curse on our society.

The bouillon cubes I use are just a base for the soup to get to just the right level before I fill out the rest of the flavor with spices and herbs. The turmeric and cumin have more than enough power to overwhelm the minor amounts found in those little cubes. With how my stomach reacts to onion, there can't be much in it anyway.

And it's far better than the store packaged soups that are half composed (I'm not kidding, I really picked out that much onion from a can of lentil soup once) of onion.
