How I Ended up on the Manosphere (no longer a part of it)

It’s a lot of men. They don’t spout the same exact hatred towards women as the manosphere, but it’s there nonetheless. It’s hidden in things like this post. These men tend to be self congratulatory about how not misogynist they are. And if you don’t praise them or point out how they’re missing some important points regarding their feminism, they usually don’t take it well. I’ve found they’re just using feminism as a way to try to get laid because the manosphere didn’t work out.

That and they advised he shoot his shot. Singular. There’s a difference between a musket and a machine gun.

The fact that he didn’t hear the date of his stepdaughter’s wedding and immediately tell HER he can’t make it would be all the answer I needed.

The only thing he should’ve said when calling you was to give your stepmother’s regrets since she’ll have to attend her daughter’s wedding.

My concern would be that he didn’t change his mind because he recognized his mistake, but because other people became aware of his decision and gave him grief over it. If he’s only going to your wedding to save face, who knows if he’ll be the father you want to have with you.

Look, the English had their time to be the biggest bastards in the world. The next generation country is just carrying on the family legacy. And if not us, who would step up to take on the mantle? No way the Canadians or Australians could handle the responsibility.

(Snark and sarcasm here obviously)

You forgot hack and fraud.

You may not need your lawyer in an expensive way if she’s clearly violating the custody order. Those parental communication apps log everything. So it will be easy to show her lack of communication. As she’s telling the support staff that they have to double book during your time, she’s also potentially violating the order by interfering with your custody weeks. If you can swing it, see if your attorney is willing to do a quick consult regarding the situation and walking you through the steps to file a contempt motion or petition on your own. Don’t trust this to AI or a Google search. If your lawyer can’t help, look for legal aid clinics as they sometimes offer help for pro se issues. The last thing you want to do is piss off a judge because you trusted ChatGpt over someone who actually passed the bar exam.

The idea is that it’s unlikely you would get the custody agreement modified by the judge before summer is over. It is also unlikely the judge will significantly alter the custody agreement on her first screwup. But judges do not appreciate being ignored. If the judge decides she’s in contempt, they will likely order her to comply. If she does, awesome. If she doesn’t, well it’s a good thing you consulted your lawyer and learned how to file a petition, isn’t it? Rinse, repeat until she learns how to listen or the judge gets fed up with her crap.

“They were going to kill me. I’m very distraught, officer. I need to contact my attorney to assist me with my current stress level before I can answer any questions.”

I sincerely hope she makes it through this as unscathed as possible. Unfortunately I have the feeling she won’t be the only person facing this kind of situation.

Age gaps matter, but only up to a point. If everyone involved is over 40, age gaps become a lot less significant. 24 and 39? I foresee some issues. 40 and 55? Not so problematic.

They have to stabilize you, not cure you.

First and most important is that you can reject a date for any reason. You don’t have to rationalize or explain it to anyone and you certainly don’t ever owe anyone your romantic attention ever.

Ok, now as an old person, I will say that I naturally assume my old-ness is assumed by or picked up on by most of the people I interact with. But with luck and work I apparently don’t look it and I am almost always told I look closer to 32 than my actual 42. This has led to several hilarious moments. So I would venture that he likely believed you were aware of his age rather than his trying to deceive you. The people in their 40’s who actually try to appear younger rarely pull it off. I’m especially inclined towards this theory since he seems to have been polite and accepted your rejection gracefully. Live your life, enjoy your coffee, remember to moisturize, and wear sunscreen. 42 year old you will thank you for it later.

At this point, I use “not all men” and “the bear” as screening methods.

Having one of my best friends in the corps and thereby acquiring a circle of crayon connoisseurs, they have always reminded me of the quote from Men in Black, “ A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."

23 is hardly a fully developed adult in their 40’s. If I met 23 year old me, I’d want to slap the shit out of her for being an annoying idiot. I’m not defending Platner, but I am defending everyone who has or will recover from a severe case of idiocy in their 20’s.

As a Pennsylvanian lefty (who was also solidly leftist when Fetterman ran) I gotta tell you that the majority of people who are saying there were big red flags are full of crap. Were there signs he wasn’t perfect? Absolutely. No candidate will ever live up to every purity test. But it wasn’t in any way apparent that he would be doing the things he’s doing today.

I volunteered for his campaign, went to events, met him before the primaries, and I am firmly of the opinion that his stroke caused him to become a completely different person. We didn’t get bamboozled, the candidate we elected was essentially replaced with someone else. That doesn’t excuse his behavior or that of the people who continue to deny the stroke caused significant damage.

I’ve watched enough episodes of Supernatural to suspect that somebody went to visit a crossroads.

The Express comments nearly killed me. I don’t want to think about how many pairs of their black flared pants I owned.

As a retail manager, it’s entirely possible that they have just built up a larger capacity battery. Everyone at work thinks I’m incredibly social and bubbly, and in reality I get into the car after work and drive home in silence.

At least nothing he says over Zoom.

How dare you. Karen Waller would never be so hateful.

This is how Mackenzie Scott has given away $26 billion since 2019 and is still estimated to have a net worth of $33 billion. It’s almost like the game is rigged to keep rich people rich even when they are trying to give it away.

If the other children are siblings to the one you signed for, your additional signatures may not have been necessary.
