Not that I think all marriages are doomed but when deciding who to marry you should ask yourself “is this someone I’d want to divorce?” As in, is this someone I believe would be mature and fair, even when they’re upset and don’t particularly like me at the moment. Is this someone I could continue to trust while going through an adversarial process? And if the answer is no, don’t marry them.

I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.

He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense

Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.

My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.

Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.

He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM

I do think "literally zero evidence indicates that gatekeeping medical transition does anything to prevent regret, but the harm done by gatekeeping is extensively documented" is a much stronger argument than "regret isn't real" cause there's always going to be some anecdote that puts you in a weak-looking rhetorical position for the latter, but the former is pretty unassailable.

i wish there was a way to say "you're right, but this is really ineffective and even counterproductive messaging to anyone who doesn't already agree with you" without sounding like an asshole

Why, when a man does something wrong, all he has to do is be hot, but when it's a woman it's demanded that she get on her knees and beg for forgiveness and sob and people will still deny that she felt guilt or remorse?

Yes, this post is about Annie leonhardt

weird how abled people don't want you to have supports because it may Annoy Them. no, you can't have a shower chair, it'll get in my way. no, you can't put subtitles on, im here to watch a movie not read. because the needs of the disabled are somehow lesser than the wants of the abled.

If you tell neurodivergent people they need to "get comfortable with being uncomfortable" I am putting gravel in your shoes. No you can't take the gravel out. You have to deal with it. Dealing with it makes you a better person. What do you mean "pointless suffering".

Mentally ill and disabled people are in fact allowed to prioritize living a full life above "recovery", "being responsible" and "making healthy choices." Don't hold people who are already struggling more than the average person to even higher and more impossible standards than the ones you'd place on your average abled individual.

[redstonedust]

a sucky part of any disability is when you fight and claw and push your way past a limitation to achieve something and it was awful but you DID it despite everything fighting against you. and people respond with "oh you did it? guess it wasnt that difficult huh." yes it WAS difficult thats the PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no more divine feminine/masculine as repackaged gender roles, no more crystals to cure cancer, no more higher self instead of looking at yourself, no more starseeds, no more fear mongering around protection magic, no more calling toxicity "energy vampirism", no more applying new age terms to folk practices, no more anthropomorphizing spirits, no more

Ärligt talat tycker jag att det borde vara högre krav för att simhallar ska bli HBTQ-certifierade i Sverige idag. Det är löjligt hur många simhallar som säger på sin hemsida att de är certifierade, men sen kollar man trivselreglerna och ser att det är typ omöjligt för transpersoner att bada där. Du kan inte:

ha krav på att alla ska duscha (nakna, dessutom)

endast erbjuda duschrum för herr och dam

förbjuda att vuxna går in i "fel" duschrum (och dessutom vägra svara på hur simhallen bestämmer vilket som är rätt och fel)

och fortsätta kalla dig HBTQ-vänlig.

Det går liksom inte att göra rätt som trans badgäst när reglerna är så. Det spelar ingen roll om simhallen har särskilda omklädningsbås som HBTQ-personer kan byta om i när alla ändå delas in i binära duschrum efteråt. Åtminstone en av de tre punkterna måste ändras för att transpersoner ska kunna följa reglerna, och minst två för att transpersoner (eller jag, i vart fall) ska vara bekväma. Den första regeln är den som jag faktiskt tycker borde vara kvar, av hygienskäl, men om inga anpassningar görs är den ju lättast att skippa.
