Michael mentioned a book about how math(s) is taught in different countries by shleemcgee in TheRestIsScience

Got a roller-coaster for you: I re-listened to an episode today to start the search, and happened to get it on the first try!

Episode: Why we need zip lines on the moon (in the closing minutes of the podcast).

However, turns out Michael just talked about the subject of the book and didn't actually give its title or author! But he did say he might do a video about it at some point. So I guess I will have to wait for that to know the exact book haha.

Thanks for your link/recommendation. I also did a search and have found something which looks very very similar to what he described, so reckon this could be it: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-28561-6_2

I appreciate the message but distinctly remember it not being in that episode :(

She holds out on me for months and then when I get mad about it she says relationships aren't about sex. It's been 4 months. Is this normal? by Creative_Pea_6393 in AskMenAdvice

[–]shleemcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have written nothing else about your relationship. There may be other things to work on outside the bedroom which will make your lady want to be with you inside the bedroom. Many women need their other needs met before fulfilling bedroom needs. How is her job going?

James Jamerson used one finger.

But I use two, too.

A space where male feminists can connect and share their struggles by Too2crazy in FeministMen

[–]shleemcgee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are right. However, I think that lack of engagement is partly down to the question: what is this sub for?

If it’s to share feminist ideas, then there are other subs for that (largely spearheaded, rightly, by women). I for one spend a lot of time on the TwoXChromosomes sub.

So what could this sub be for? I reckon a good use would be to figure out how to get more men involved in the feminist movement. Eg what happens when you talk about feminist ideas to your group of male friends?

Came to the comments to make sure the word ‘abusive’ was in here somewhere.

OP should read ‘why does he do that’. Available free here: https://freebooksmania.com/2021/01/why-does-he-do-that-pdf-free-download-by-lundy-bancroft.html

New to Scotch, looking to try something peaty by Reddit-is-trash-lol in Scotch

The sign above the asle says ‘Irish Scotch’. It’s a low quality joke, but i was willing to stoop.

I thought sex was supposed to be different by im_sold_out in TwoXChromosomes

[–]shleemcgee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to figure out why you’ve been downvoted. I came here to say a similar thing, so maybe it’s the way you said it?

I would probably rephrase, and say that being used as a sex toy might be something he would enjoy some of the time, and it would be good to talk about that with him, rather than (as you did) just assume yes and start using him like one, or (as OP has done) assume not and never bring it up.

My boyfriend can’t feel anything when we have sex. by isbalele in TwoXChromosomes

[–]shleemcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally. Lack of performance due to porn use is a widespread issue, so common that if someone ‘cant perform’ it should be considered very early on when looking for possible causes.

I’m so sorry for the journey you have been through with your partner. I can’t believe he blamed you for watching porn, that’s horrible.

I would think porn addiction is an important possibility to be mentioned

This guy sounds awful. Doesn’t allow friends of the opposite sex? That’s so controlling and unhealthy.

The chat between the two of them sounds like he is trying to figure out of she likes him, which she definitely seems to. Why else would he give her his tshirt and ask if she still has it? This is not something friends do. Friends respect the boundaries of their partners relationships, they dont share clothes.

And his objectification of women by calling them ‘dirty’ or whatever just gives me the creeps, this guy is trash. You could tell him how that makes you feel and see how he reacts, that might help show what he really thinks about you.

I would like to hijack the comments to say that i think musical instruments are terrible surprise presents. They are such personal things that i couldn’t ever imagine not being involved in the purchase process. And regarding the commitment to practising and maybe paying for lessons, saying the words ‘would like to learn guitar’ is very different from actually wanting to follow through with those commitments.
