When a man starts
explaining a concept you already told him you understand,
instead of saying “I know” over and over until you die, try one of these:
Ok, which aspect is confusing you?
It seems like
you have the basics down; Would you like me to recommend some good articles so you can get a more nuanced understanding?
So did
you have a specific question, or do you just want a more in depth
explanation?
SAVAGE
teacher-zone him
I’ve also had some good results with, “Wait, stop. It sounds like you’re disagreeing with me, but nothing you’ve said has contradicted anything in my initial argument. What, precisely, are you disagreeing with?”
i don’t even need to know the context of this drawing
pussy game so strong it scared the devil
no but literally that is what is happening, there have been long periods of western history where spirits were said t be frightened by the site of lady business. Sailor’s wives used to flash their husbands ships (mind you this was a time before underwear so you just lifted your petticoats and BAM) in order to scare away the spirits and devils that made storms. A woman could flash her crops to keep away spirits that might ruin them.This was also back when the vagoo was seen as something taboo and horrible so literally looking directly at some labia was thought to be so scary the devil would poop himself. Misogyny so intense it gave the pussy superpowers.
“Women often internalize that sense of responsibility for men’s needs. Stormy Daniels felt so responsible for coming to a stranger’s hotel room in 2006 that she felt obliged to provide the sex he wanted and she didn’t. She told Anderson Cooper, ‘I had it coming for making a bad decision for going to someone’s room alone and I just heard the voice in my head, “well, you put yourself in a bad situation and bad things happen, so you deserve this.”’ (It’s worth noting that she classified having sex with Donald Trump as ‘bad things happen’ and the sense in that she deserved it was a punitive one.) His desires must be met. Hers didn’t count.”
How do I not remember hearing about that when she did the interview…?
“But the follow-up story to the #MeToo upheaval has too often been: how do the consequences of men hideously mistreating women affect men’s comfort? Are men okay with what’s happening? There have been too many stories about men feeling less comfortable, too few about how women might be feeling more secure in offices where harassing coworkers may have been removed or are at least a bit less sure about their right to grope and harass. Men themselves insist on their comfort as a right.”
Yeah, I’ve been getting some of that from my own advisor, who keeps complaining about how professors can’t have meetings with their students with the office door closed and he’s not allowed to make any remarks about female colleagues’ appearance, even if it’s just that they look professional. One of these days I need to tell him that it’s fine to make a comment on a woman’s appearance if and only if he would make the exact same comment to a man and no one would find it odd or “gay.”
Good men in my grad program had to shield me from a man who does not understand a woman’s signals that she is not interested. I really appreciate the good men.
It makes me kind of sad that some men are so socially incompetent that they think that any woman who is nice to them for a few minutes at a party must want to sleep with them. And part of the reason for that is probably that if they’re sufficiently awkward and weird, people usually aren’t nice to them. But then if they start creepily following around any women who are nice to them, that’s going to discourage women from being nice when they aren’t interested.
And here I am engaging in gratuitous “himpathy.” Typical.
Apparently it’s a new YouTube trend of tying up your girlfriend while you break her makeup?
What???
Heterosexual things: abusing your girlfriend and destroying expensive shit she owns
each day i somehow get more shocked by how truly unnerving heterosexuals are
I feel like you must really be stupid to not realize that both of these people in the videos have agreed and it’s literally just for views.
And you’d have to be fucking stupid to not understand that these thousands of pranking videos involve the same dumbass unfunny bullshit where it’s basically just “causing emotional distress to your significant is funny”. It doesn’t matter if this shit was planned for views, it’s stupid, unfunny, wasteful and it just adds to people being downright fucking cruel and passing it off as a prank.
It’s not just that, it strikes me as blatantly misogynistic. It’s supposed to be “funny” because of the stereotype that girls/women are vain and place too much importance, and spend too much money, on their appearance. Completely ignoring the fact that society also constantly sends women the message that all their value lies in their appearance, that attacking women’s appearance is always fair game as a replacement for criticizing their ideas or qualifications (see: all women in politics), that they will be punished for not meeting the absurd standards set for them in media and advertising.
