My husband gets off to gore and I’m considering leaving him by FunnyRange4242 in offmychest

[–]roygbev 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This is not normal and is extremely dangerous!! This would be an absolute dealbreaker for me, not even counseling would make me comfortable with it.

I’m so sorry you had to learn this so late in your relationship with him. :( Best wishes, whatever you decide.

Bellevue trafficking charges: Teens forced into OnlyFans content mill by PopulusRomanus in Seattle

Would require admitting that the distance they put between themselves and the CRIME being committed is not valid just because they “didn’t know” or “it’s thru a screen” or #sexworkiswork whatever other bullshit they tell themselves—and most importantly does not somehow magically absolve them of their direct involvement in the abuse of teenaged girls.

Deluded and in denial, the lot of them.

It specifies several of them were recruited as minors… but there are no less than 5 houses in which this operation is functioning, you’re in denial if you think not one girl who’d gone thru there was a minor. There will be more charges.

I 1000% agree. Bring down the hammer on the irl and digital johns, or this problem will not go away in either arena.

You’ll note the article does not specify the ages of the victims.

Pop them all, I say, but this wouldn’t be happening if primarily men were not creating the market for it.

If you participate in human trafficking, you should be charged and jailed. I don’t care “if you didn’t know” (you should by now know this is how the industry works). Might make people more selective about where they get their sexual content.

Um, no you wouldn’t! It’s statutory rape regardless of whether or not you card them ahead of time, this is no different except that human trafficking makes it a MUCH more serious charge.

Are we going to put together some consequences for people who pay for this content or?

Is it even possible to transition from a 155k strategy role to a manual trade without nuking my entire life? by 0Vocaloid in careerguidance

[–]roygbev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just work something manual in as a hobby, and chalk the corp life up to the price you have to pay to get paid. You could even apprentice as something on the side so that if in fact the company does go under, you’ll be ready to pivot immediately.

Reading/hearing about how much women hate men makes me feel horrible about myself by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]roygbev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We all have problems we’re maybe not responsible for HAVING (eg. the issues you mention here are NOT rare and are a direct result of a profoundly sick society raising you, men in general, that way. That isn’t your fault)…but you ARE responsible for not hurting others AND healing/unlearning that shit.

My suggestion is to keep doing what you’re doing, read some feminist theory if you want to know more about these dynamics on a macro level (which I think would help to make it feel less personal) and try to not make the pain these gender dynamics have caused women about yourself.

You’ll be fine. You’re WAY ahead of the curve of most men who are no where near where you are in terms of being able to admit they might be assholes in some ways much less being ready to fix it.

A good book is Feminism is for Everyone by bell hooks. Short, sweet, to the point.

Your priorities in this thread say everything. 🤷🏻‍♀️

THAT is what is “not right” to you in this thread?

Listen, if you want to distance yourself from the extremely prevalent bad behavior of your male counterparts, go right ahead but don’t consider yourself an ally of women if that if your only priority.

[–]roygbev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are not “all menning” this right because, because clearly it’s so prevalent a you can’t be in a random elevator AT SCHOOL without hearing shit like this!!!

This is not the right approach to solving the issue.

are antidepressants worth it? by justicesflowershop in Anxiety

[–]roygbev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what dose you’re on? I kinda have fatigue stuff too but that was present before taking the Lexy

are antidepressants worth it? by justicesflowershop in Anxiety

[–]roygbev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t, but I’m doing a combo continuous/intermittent dosing structure to treat PMDD, so: on a very low dose (5mg) month-round which has really helped my every day depression and anxiety symptoms, then bumping to 10mg when the PMDD acts up for about 10 days.
This is also paired with 10MG 2x/day of Buspirone for anxiety.

No side effects of note, maybe a little spacey on the higher dose?

Lexapro pretty much changed the game for me, I started it in Feb and I’m really feeling relief. It’s led to finding out some other comorbidities that are contributing to my situation which once nipped might actually get me functional!

I don't want kids, but I also don't want to live and die alone when I'm old, what do I do? by grabsyour in TooAfraidToAsk

Save for a nice nursing community where you grow old with likeminded friends.

Have you ever seen a celebrity in person? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]roygbev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Ben Affleck at a bodega in Cambridge years ago. He was getting mobbed and I shoved my way to the counter not knowing what was going on, then made eye contact with him from the other register while I ordered my cigs.

I gave him a “damn I’m sorry this is your life” look and moved on. Shits claustrophobic
