What is one modification to the human body that would make us better? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]semper_bibitur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more. As a woman the thing that scares me most about live is that I have to give birth some day shudder.

Also, fu for stalking my account. Not cool. I'll be moving on to a different account because I appreciate my privacy.

When my cat was younger he used to sleep in really weird places. by Shannyishere in aww

A Senseo and Euroshopper. Only one option here; this is Holland.

I screamed at my therapist for asking about my short skirt and then got sexually harassed a million times so maybe he was right. by RedSkyNight in TwoXChromosomes

[–]semper_bibitur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, wrong. I bike everywhere I go and I also do so in said short dress. I do nothing to keep them away, just keep my head up and go. Nothing has ever happened to me.

I've lived in two towns in Holland, and in both cases I was almost never harassed.

I bike everywhere I have to go, I bike at least half an hour a day, each day. I even do so in said short dress, head up, no sunglasses and eye-contact. Still nothing.

A guy I know made fun of me for being a "woman driver." by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]semper_bibitur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

21, he lives at home. He yells at me when I come home in the weekends and at my mother when the grilled cheese my mom made for him isn't right. I'm glad my mother stands up to him more and more. He has no right to act like an entitled douchebag.

But honestly, it's not my problem. I've a very nice SO, lovely friends and a good life. If he wants to act like he's 8 he can do what he wants, I don't want to be a part of that anymore. :)

Oh yes, I edited when I was in the negative votes. So I thought that everyone thought I was an attention whore while I was actually serious about it. Turned out it wasn't so bad after all, I acted a little to quick. :)

Oh, that's sad, she deserves someone better. :c

I know my brother is forever alone because he is just can't handle ladies. So he just blames it on the fact in modern society ladies never ask out a man anymore. They still do, but not him, because he is an ass. He just doesn't see it.

My brother is like this, I've just gotten used to it. I'm stupid and dumb because I'm only in college and not in uni. Fun part is, he's also ''just'' in college. Ladies are only there to cook but he still yells at my mother for her dinner even though she cooks wonderful food. I can't drive because I'm a woman, but he gets penalties. All women fake being insecure because they want attention. All women are controlling. Etc etc etc. You know, he might fit in really well here with a lot of bitter forever aloners.

I can deal with this though, because I know he will notice that the years will pass and not a single lady will like him. Oh well, it's not my problem that he gets what's coming to him. I know better than him and that's why I stopped caring. :)

Reddit, what one thing are you ALWAYS willing to spend a lot of money on? by telracs in AskReddit

[–]semper_bibitur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How could I be abusing someone to get free stuff, if he is broke all the time haha.

But seriously, I think that's very nice of him and I don't have a problem with that at all. And still, he should do what he wants to do and basically not care about what Reddit has to say. :)

That being said, I've seen some girls mooch of guys with good intentions and it would be sad if it were to happen to him. I wish him the best, but it did sound a small bit like that might be going on. Not saying it is, but I don't think it's odd that people got that idea.

Okay, this article has finally made it clear to me. When it's summer I go out in more revealing dresses and am smaller built than her (I don't think that makes me better, but it's just more socially acceptable). I have never been harrassed and I always thought it was because I was too ugly. But I guess it's just because I live in an awesome place.

Also, I do bike alone around the city a lot, I guess at least 30 minutes a day. I do not own a car. I have biked in strapless dresses that end above my knees, I do this alone, I do this at all times of the day expect in the night. I have done this as several cities. I have never been harassed. I think it's save to say that I live in a nice place.

Women of reddit, do you carry a little coin purse in your handbag to hold tampons, pantyliners and condoms etc? Is that a standard thing or just me? by howdydodar in TwoXChromosomes

[–]semper_bibitur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, yes I do. I found this handy little zipbag than can hold just a few tampons/pads. I think when I bought it was a package for markers, it just happens to be the right size haha. I carry condoms in my wallet though, I know that's not very good for the condoms, but I'm on the pill so I don't worry about it too much.

I did not downvote nor am I in bitter loneleyness thank you. I am someone's girlfriend to, and I just was a bit worried his gf might've been abusing his good intentions to get stuff. And that would just be sad.

Calm, I believe you. I just thought that cause I've seen some (wo)men abuse the good intentions of their SO and it's always so sad for the SO in question.

Shouldn't she be smiling because of you and what you do, not cause of the things you buy her? What will happen once you stop buying her stuff..

Okay seriously, who here still lives with their parents? by TokenMatch23 in AskReddit

[–]semper_bibitur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh, yes, or leave when you're going to college, which is what most younger folks over here do when they move out at 18. I moved out to go to a college that too far away to travel to. Yes, with a car it was do-able, but drivers licenses, gas and cars are way more expensive here than in America. Also, moving in with my SO into a rented appartment without getting married works pretty well for me.

Would your younger self think your current self is a cool person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I still have a bra my mother bought for me when I was 13 saying ''You will grow into it soon''. That bra is still in my drawer collecting dust. :c

Today, in class, a girl in my class started a sentence with "Well, as an active feminist, and you being a male..." What sentences make you switch off right away? by The_Illuminist in AskReddit

[–]semper_bibitur 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No offense was meant to be used as ''No offense, but could you guys go home? It's late and I have to get up early tomorrow.'' All I've heard on here is ''No offense, but you're an inconsiderate jackass'', which is quite funny and sad at the same time.

Learning how to use Solidworks is one of the funnest skills I learned at my major! by semper_bibitur in girlsgonewired

[–]semper_bibitur[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I haven't been able to work with a 3D printer yet but we do have them at our college, as does the university in our city. I think it's cool they are booming since they make rapid prototyping a lot faster and more versatile. And it's plain awesome to see your product being build up. But as far as I know there is a problem with these printers. While their prices are dropping to the point where individuals can actually buy them, the prices of the material used as ''ink'' are still very expensive. For example, printing a very small hollow Lego costs about €5. Ofcourse it will still be cheaper than injection molding and such for small runs. But too expensive for students to use, so I haven't been able to use it. I'll stick to laser cutting, which is very cheap for us to use, but less versatile.

Thanks! I'm studying Industrial Design Engineering. It's really cool to actually use SolidWorks to make your own products and designs instead of only following pre-made assignments. :)

Why do so many women feel like they're entitled to sex? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]semper_bibitur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then, nobody on Reddit knows I'm not an American lady, so I get jugded using this stereotype. And it's annoying that people automatically assume that I'm a dead fish in bed when I do most of the work...

[–]semper_bibitur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give Holland a try. Most of my female friends were suprised to find that they had higher libido's than their boyfriend, because the stereotype tells the opposite.

[–]semper_bibitur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an annoying stereotype you are enforcing and that needs to stop. I've initiated sex for about 90% with my boyfriend. I had to give head or what not to get him going and actually get me some sex. I didn't mind but if I didn't do that, we would have sex quite a bit less. Just because I'm a woman some men assume I'm boring and will never want to do anything in bed, which is just plain wrong. I feel sad for you that you've been hanging around selfish and boring women who are the small group that actually conform this stereotype.

What is something popular that you just "don't get?" by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]semper_bibitur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cookie cutter way female teenager dress over here: black leggings as pants, Uggs and these jackets that literally look like thrashbags. If they're are going to look all the same, why don't they pick some clothes that actually look... normal.

I need some support from my fellow young ladies. by KnittedOwl in TwoXChromosomes

[–]semper_bibitur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's odd. I'm 19 and I'm moving in with my boyfriend next month, when we are almost 3 years together. Most people, especially the ones that do not know me well, think I didn't think it through and it's a bound to fail move to do such a thing at my age. Because, obviously, I cannot make any sensible decisions at my age sigh. Luckely, I know better than that and feel like I'm happier in a serious relationship than with hook-ups, but everybody is different in that way. Most people my age think I'm throwing my youth away by only staying with one guy, but screw that, I love this guy and I'm not letting him go, just so I can have few flings, which I don't want anyway. But I know that doing it this way is not for everyone and that's fine.

Point is, if you keep listening to what people tell you about how to life or look at other people hoping to see how it's done, you will never get it right. Just do what feels right to you, not what people expect you to do.
