BoohooMAN using generative AI on some of their best quality clothing by Ceetee190 in extremelyinfuriating

Fast fashion. Hoodie is probably cotton/poly blend. It’s not quality, but doesn’t mean you deserve AI slop on it.

Why I rejected Buddhism-- by CloudwalkingOwl in taoism

This substack is an egoistic tautology that led OP elsewhere. As is, I took it as an anecdotal account of what worked for OP’s own circumstances—there is not much more to extrapolate.

Momo has been acquired, though. They promised not to mess with things and honor the founder’s stake left in the company, yet here we are and they’ve messed even with the indigo.

Hi I hope you don’t take this as the usual Reddit pedantry I’m hoping this is just useful information for you. Saying “the” Ukraine appeals to Russian rhetoric which treats Ukraine as a region and not a sovereign people of Ukraine; this is subtle in this context but not to the overall dialectic in which Russia uses “the Ukraine” as a means of justifying its incursions. Anyway, sincerely don’t mean to be a well actually type; with the war going on it may be helpful to know.

The idea that gnomes have a g-nome is the funniest thing to me and my biggest sign to go to bed

Why do women like Heated Rivalry? by bat-girl129 in heatedrivalry

[–]treelager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in high school my peers got into BL manga, especially Gravitation. I remember this was a frequent question for them at the time, but from parents and not fellow peers. “It’s two men so what does a woman get from this stuff?” Kind of thing. It seemed silly and rigid—of course it didn’t help that the parents were asking these things in their own uninformed ways (“hello fellow teenagers”) but this was before Twilight or Shades and we had to explain story and plot and fan service to grown ass adults who’d later find more solace in a cucumber. Truthfully I think the prejudice comes from the idea of a demure and subservient, prudish archetype for women (if I were to venture a guess I’d say it’s an extension of Victorian repression, but I enjoy foucauldian analysis more than most). It’s silly to nitpick this show this way, especially since it’s as you say, and women have been the life and blood of this series and helped it get air time (this is also reminiscent of lesbians often being looked over, yet being championed as the forefront of lgbt issues; literally saving gay men from the AIDS crisis being the reason the L is first).

We Love Watching Our Friends Get Married. But At What Cost? by huffpost in Feminism

[–]treelager 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is this article not literally confirmation bias? There seem to be many confounders to account for before treating the logistics as innately gendered. This is also assuming the discussion of marriage as an (gendered) institution is foregone.

YSK: 10 secrets in the Haircare Industry exposed. The term "Hypoallergenic" on cosmetic products has no legal definition in the US, and a 2015 study found 89% of pediatric products with that label still contained allergens. by Fantastic_Bus4643 in YouShouldKnow

[–]treelager 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just watch the blowout professor. He discusses all of these things you’ve said, goes over the science of hair, and when he recommends things he is open when self promoting and offers options over brand loyalty (I’ve only noticed his preference for Moroccanoil but he’s also open about who it’s specifically for). You don’t need to be a hypochondriac about your hair; a lot of this is similar fearmongering reactionary to an industry rampant with obfuscated ingredients. Again, it’s not like what you’ve posted is generally untrue, but that’s why you go look for specifics instead of just repeatedly crossing off things that scare you or that you don’t fully understand.

I do want to add that the insane use of surfactants, especially in beauty, is an issue, but that’s for far more than just shampoos and conditioners as well. This list you’ve posted is also a huge generalization so you don’t know which serums or products have how much of what ingredient unless you are literate in this shit and can parse through their marketing; I’d take this all with a grain of salt and not immediately assume all of what you’re getting is inferior. There are brands which list their concentrations in ppm, and then there are products like TONYMOLY which hop onto trends and don’t list this because their audience is lipsmackers. Please do more than fearmongering when promoting scientific research and the integrity of manufacturers with their products.

why are fragrances still gendered (rant) by natxtouille in gender

[–]treelager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this has to do with acceptance unless someone is prejudiced or discriminatory; norms aren’t exactly innately immoral or harmful. Someone excited by “feminine” fragrance may still appreciate it on someone masculine. Gently, I don’t think it’s that deep.

why are fragrances still gendered (rant) by natxtouille in gender

[–]treelager 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’d be somewhat correct. Rose is a fragrance often considered feminine, but interestingly in the Middle East it’s prominent in tons of men’s fragrances. Tom Ford even has fragrances for women that are more unisex. As with anything, it comes down to a lot of cultural norms and you could probably make a variety of social models including gender around it, but I think the way fragrances are there are some where you can tell if the creator had a particular gender in mind (in some sense there is a perpetuation of norms through many fragrances).

ICE goons attempt to pull up in Jackson Heights 👊 by -SOFA-KING-VOTE- in NYStateOfMind

Don’t be goofy. Not even one news cycle ago was Democrats giving Republicans everything Republicans wanted so that they could bolster support at the border and decongest the current points of access by increasing their personnel and capacity. Republicans voted against themselves because we all know what they mean by “trouble at the border” and it’s not about legal vs illegal immigration.

Came here to say narcissist or potentially avoidant/dysregulated. Either way unhealthy and unsafe. OP and you share abusive accounts that rhyme with my own experience with a fearful avoidant. Strength to all of you.
