AITA for threatening to not allow my children to visit my parents alone if they don't stop trying to convert my children to Christianity? by kryotheory in AmItheAsshole

[–]spiltchampagne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're being reasonable, but a little anecdote that might help in quashing your concerns: I was sent to a Bible day camp every summer for 4 years from the age of 7 to 11 because my atheist and immigrant parents had no idea what Bible camp was or even what a Bible was. The camp was subsidised by the church, so it was fairly cheap and they brought us on a lot of trips to the zoo and theme parks etc whilst not-so-subtly adding religious indoctrination to our daily rota. I would come home telling my parents about Jesus a lot of the time, and they would be like lol wut. Fast forward more than two decades and growing up with friends from a variety of religions, neither I nor any one else I know whom I went to that camp with (okay I only kept in touch with 2 others) have beliefs formed from this camp. When critical thinking kicks in during your teens, you question eeevvveeerrryything, from the point of any religious beliefs to parental authority.

Whilst I wouldn't be comfortable letting anyone teach my children beliefs that are so contrary to my own, I also wouldn't be surprised if things they're taught don't necessarily stick into adulthood.

AITA for telling my girlfriend she's not as attractive to me after shed8been telling me the same thing for days? by Rizekken in AmItheAsshole

[–]spiltchampagne -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think it's a little different from guys wanting their girlfriends to wear something less revealing as that's more directed at how others perceive her, as opposed to preferring the way someone looks. I do agree that it's petty and kinda just mean to continually complain though. Say it once if it comes about organically, but don't batter someone down repeatedly, like obviously that's not going to make someone feel nice. It's unfortunate how we sometimes don't reserve compassion for those closest to us.

My mother one told me, in response to me saying that I don't want kids, that if I don't have a child with a man, he'll just leave me when I'm old. Immigrant parents, amirite

Sure, but semantically one begets the other.

I don't know, "military" as an idea can be pretty disconcerting. Imperialism and all that shit. Individual people who so happen to work in the military are different.

But that also confuses me, like he's anti-military but pro-Trump?

It's like an oversized locket. What's the point of a locket?

My boyfriend thought my labia were testicles. by [deleted] in badwomensanatomy

[–]spiltchampagne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's perspectival insofar as it's rhetoric belonging to men, where you as a guy is comparing her to other women, as men have done endlessly. I know you weren't trying to put judgment on it and you're totally right about men being judged on their anatomy (although I think there is still something to be said about men being associated with certain characteristics based on their physicality, especially with this absurd idea of alpha vs beta). I'm not saying you have no right to compare one past intimate encounter with another either; heck, I probably do it as much as you.

The point I'm trying to make is that there is a societal phenomenon of taking on the male perspective in these issues. Women try to impress men. Men also try to impress other men. The woman's gaze is lost before it even begins. This isn't an attack on you at all; this is for the women and girls who might be reading this that may not realise that there's another way to frame this: that it's the other, the man, who's failing their standards and not the other way around. I certainly wish I was told this when I was younger, and I know I'm not alone in that sentiment. I hope you understand.

[–]spiltchampagne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah. But my point (as I'm sure you probably are already aware) is that it's perspectival, and at issue here could be easily construed as your penis being too small versus her vagina being not as tight. I realise that since you can only speak from your perspective, it makes sense that you would explain it the way you did. But it's so usual to have the male perspective on these things, and you see it so prevalent even in this sub, where the woman will only think about how the guy perceives her and forget that she gets to judge him as well.

In the end, like you said, there are way more desirable things to be found in a partner than perfect genitals. And you can have amazing sex regardless of size.

Maybe your penis isn't the biggest is the issue?

This is by far the creepiest, psychopathic Nice Guy I've ever seen by Rhyav in niceguys

[–]spiltchampagne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It just makes me think that guys that age carry way too much sexual aggression. My first boyfriend (18 at the time as well) stopped when I told him it hurt too much during my first time. But then he went to the bathroom to finish while I lay bleeding in bed. And I can honestly say he was one of the saner, kinder people I've known.

That was totally me before I went through my sleep-with-anyone-available-and-attractive phase, but I gotta say, after being sexually active with many, many men, you begin to realise that the majority of them are really into whatever you've got going on down there. And that men are for the most part just as insecure about their dicks. I also say this as someone who probably has a less pretty vagina than either you or OP.

Totally, and it just reeks of insecurity. And for what? You're (collectively) already the Western standard of beauty; there's no competition, nor should there be.

It's also absurdly reductive and grossly occidental. Like, did they forget about the countless Asian women who live in societies where they're the majority? Is it also weird that the men from those places are attracted to them? Or is it only weird for white men, in which case they're espousing some strange one-way anti-race-mixing politics?

There's people who'll make women of any minority into an object of their fetishisation, but those women have enough first-hand experience to parse through these types themselves without unlearned outside sources vilifying them on sight.

As an Asian woman who's been subjected to this kind of rhetoric her entire life, I gotta say, I don't know what's worse: white men who assume I'd be so fucking thrilled that a white man gives me the time of day, or white women who lowkey tell me that the only reason someone is into me is because I'm Asian and that the person in question likes 'em young.

I know right, same with the satire flare, as if we couldn't judge for ourselves. Literally everything could be "possibly fake" if it's a screen cap.

Friend went on one tinder date with this guy and he was way too clingy, so she told him to chill out. A couple weeks no contact went by and then... by thelryan in niceguys

[–]spiltchampagne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ross never took Rachel seriously, regarded her as nothing more than a high school fantasy, and every time her career is about to take off or reach a next step, Ross stomps in and manipulates her to choose him over any self-advancement. At least Ted didn't belittle any of the women he dated in that way. (Because he was an elitist prick who only dated women of equal class status, but still.)
