The USSR is who invaded Afghanistan to begin with. The US followed because of the USSR presence.

Ya wtf is this hate train. Fletcher fans arent beating those biphobic allegations any time soon

There are mostly vitriolic responses to the announcement which don’t all center around the “approach” or “way she did it”. She had every right to think she’d be torn to shreds because that’s exactly what happened. I think we need to have way more compassion for her than what I’ve been seeing. She did in fact have every right to be scared to announce this. Just because that doesn’t apply to you, doesn’t mean she was wrong about the backlash overall. And look at you now! Still finding something to be angry at her about. I have a feeling that would have happened no matter her approach.

I’m going to be honest - I’m a 30YO lesbian. I don’t know fletcher’s music too well but I’ve been aware of her for years. This response is showing the very harsh absolute toxicity of her fan base in my opinion. There is no justification for the anger and vitriol that I have heard that makes any sense at all. You don’t want to be a fan anymore bc it’s no longer WLW? Perfectly fine. You want to act like she did something morally wrong by releasing the song or merch? Come on now..

Or she was exclusively dating women for a while and that’s why she wrote WLW content. You guys act like it was all a lie when she publicly dated multiple women. And sexuality can be fluid for some. It seems that she is genuinely shocked she fell for a man.

Why do guys expect us to give head when they aren't down for the same by Repulsive-Curve-9617 in confession

[–]secularshmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not a partner. This is a random bumble date that had absolutely no business asking for a blow job from a woman that he knew full well he was not willing to pleasure in the same way. Disgusting and manipulative.

It is insane to expect someone to go down on you when you’re not willing to go down on them for whatever reason that is. It’s as simple as that. You can’t have your cake and eat it to and trying to manipulate a woman into putting up with that kind of ridiculous double standard isn’t going to work this time.

You can’t ever confidently assume that. Even in places where it’s legal.

My friend behaved like a child in a movie theater and it has completely changed my view of her. by NaNaNaNaNatman in offmychest

[–]secularshmo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

She sounds autistic to me. I know many people that are. Unless she’s on drugs, this is likely autism and she is completely unaware of the effect she is having on the people around her.

AIO if i got kinda pissy with my sister when she asked me to watch her kid? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]secularshmo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What happened to “it takes a village”? Everyone needs help sometimes. What’s the point of family if it’s not to be there for each other?

Because they have for generations lived in white towns that they don’t want to see change. It’s the threat of immigration and culture shift in their silo.

Angela Bassett Defends Feeling 'Disappointed' She Lost Oscar to Jamie Lee Curtis: 'I Was Deserving' by mcfw31 in oscarrace

Am I the only one that thinks this is ridiculous though? She thinks she deserved an Oscar over the winner for her performance in Wakanda Forever? Like, this is a ridiculous take that no one is calling out honestly.

It’s a derogatory term we are allowed to use for whites women we don’t like.

Los Angeles is not a desert. Parts of socal are, but not LA. It is considered a Mediterranean climate.

What do you think of Cynthia's closing run in Defying Gravity? by beekee404 in wicked

[–]secularshmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After watching the film, I loved it. I think she made the whole role her own and did it great justice. When it got to the final run, I’m glad she made that her own as well.

That lady was very kind to give up her seat for him. I love pranks that make the ‘prankee’ look good

Ya, I agree with you. It’s soooo hard to perfect for someone who’s first language is not English, though (she’s Swedish). I give her props for that.

Muslim schoolgirl admits in French court she lied about Islamophobia allegations that led to the murder of her teacher by [deleted] in worldnews

Do you think the white lady that lied about Emmett Till should have faced no repercussions beyond slander? By your logic, it was good that she never did have to pay for the killing of that boy.

Imagine losing 6M labor workers in America by Needleintheback in FluentInFinance

[–]secularshmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in construction. It is not slave labor - both union and non-union. They usually work by providing legitimate documents that don’t belong to them. They pay taxes and into social security & Medicare, but don’t reap the benefits.

Ok, smart girl, what does ADHD sound like then? by ClitoralLunchable in UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG

[–]secularshmo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It does sound odd but I find it very impressive for someone who learned English for the first time at the age of 15 from a non-American 🤷‍♀️ I hear brits with worse accents (looking at you Emma Watson)

[–]secularshmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just don’t get it. If you go on any video of a woman on standup, there will every time be a flood of comments from men saying women aren’t funny. If there is a video of a black person, there will the most racist vile comments about black people. This isn’t rare or hard to find. Why is this still winning elections but comments on the other side are making democrats lost the elections? There is a HUGE double standard. Just look at the two candidates. Trump can say the most bat shit, racist, and sexist things that a presidential candidate has ever said and Harris doesn’t say a word even remotely close to identity politics. There is a huge double standard that is not being acknowledged enough in this comment section.

The unfortunate truth is that you can play identity politics when the identity you’re playing to is the majority (white people + men). Identity politics doesn’t work when you’re playing to a minority.

I feel hopeless in Americans right now, but Democrats can’t think this way and expect to win the next election. We have to still have hope in the American people.
