If misandry doesn't exist, then why is it a formally recognized word with a definition?

If unicorns don’t exist, then why is it a formally recognized word with a definition?

harbinger-of-reason

All it means is the hatred of men, you are trying to change the definition, doesn’t make you right.

theexodvs

No, all I’m saying is that something doesn’t need a definition to exist, and that misandry doesn’t exist in more than isolated incidents.

harbinger-of-reason

Except in a school system where boys graduate at lower rates and a work force where they die at higher rates.

hardboiledoldman

how is that caused by misandry tho? what historical realities that involve ‘social hatred for men’ caused poor graduation and the likelihood that men would go into more dangerous jobs? i don’t think it was a collective hatred of people with dicks.

proctain

Official school policy to treat boys like damaged girls.

Laws specifically structured to penalize men.

Feminist lobbying groups who specially target men.

The National Organization of Women pushing college administrators to turn down qualified male applicants for under-qualified female applicants.

Teachers Unions putting into policy to grade girls on “emotional learning” and penalize boys for their gender and sticking to fact based learning.

The Federal Worker Safety Bureau being focus on the emotional safety of women over the physical safety of men.

The list is actually rather longer and just because you refuse to acknowledge it does in no way make it any less real. Currently society is in fact structured against men and any time and group tries to bring up the issues of men it is shouted down and attacked. This includes even just trying to have talks on the FACT that men are ¾ of all suicides and suicide attempts and ¾ of all homeless. Or that 49% of all abuse victims are male but there is no help for them or in many cases they are accused of being abusers while still suffering from near fatal wounds inflicted by their partner.

All of this happened because a small group who do hate men just for existing have lobbied powerful people to discriminate against men in every part of life possible all on the false premise of “defending women.”

theexodvs

OK, suicide is a choice; otherwise, it is murder, not suicide. Men last longer on the street by themselves than women do, telling by how many Jane Does compared to John Does there are, so the male homeless people are counted. And the estimates for how many abuse victims are men keep increasing almost every time a new MRA reposts from me.

proctain

The stats are based on new studies that feminist tried to block. Men and children receive the majority of non reciprocal violence from women.

The number one cause of death for children is their own mothers.

There is only one abuse shelter in North America for men.

There are many more dead men who are homeless. Just because the news papers gloss it over does not mean it doesn’t happen. Because to the news dead men are a statistic, while homeless women are a tragedy.

Again you seem to not care about the dead. You are doing everything in your piggy little brain you can to ignore the NUMBER of dead men.

When will it matter?

10 to 1

100 to 1

1000 to 1.

How many men without any options or any resources who are demonized and told they deserve to die by the media and politicians is equal to one woman?

If you even think it should be more than one, then you are a sociopath an are in need for extreme levels of therapy and counseling.

theexodvs

There is only one abuse shelter in North America for men because women are disproportionately the victims of sexual crimes!

And I never said men should be the majority of suicide victims. I was saying this wasn’t caused by any sort of systematic misandry.

proctain

Your lying again. Can’t you just stop.

The lack of shelters for men is the result of direct action of feminist lobby groups making it unlawful in the US for public funds to be spent on men. This is on top of Erin Perez being threatened by feminist to stop her initiative to help men after she discovered that the violence goes both ways equally.

Studies show that moment start interpersonal violence more than men and make up 75% of nonreciprocal violence. Women also make up 49% of rapist when the gendered language is removed from the definition.

Women make up the vast majority of child murders, killers of their own children, and are the vast leader in child molestation stats.

So not only are you lying you are lying about what i said and what I asked.

I ASKED YOU HOW MANY DEAD MEN DOES IT TAKE TO MATTER BEFORE WE FOCUS ON ISSUES THAT EFFECT THEM EQUALLY OR

theexodvs

And if you know anything about, well, combat, police brutality, drunk driving, and other men-dominated behaviors, you know men’s hands are not exactly free from the blood of children either. But I guess it doesn’t matter if they’re responsible for the death of other people’s children.

I’m going to have to see some VERY heavy sourcing from non-MRA sources that women start interpersonal violence more than men and make up 75% of nonreciprocal violence.

Men’s deaths matter just as much as women’s, but some nebulous group of powerful women is not responsible for men taking their own lives. And it is shameful to use suicides to push your agenda.

proctain

THe CDC you biased twit.

N.O.W. is not a fucking nebulous group sent protestors to stop men’s shelters. The National Women’s Lobby of the UK was responsible and took credit for attempting to murder Erin Perez with mailed BOMBS.

You need to get out of fantasy land. Because you call anything not reaffirm your position MRA.

Would a film by a feminist showing the lies and hypocrisy of feminist be enough. The Red Pill, a movie by a well respected feminist that received death and bomb threats just for interviewing actual MRA and not feminist only.

You are delusional and need to come to terms with reality.

There is one, ONE men’s shelter in North American and feminist campaign daily for its’ shut down, Salon a self avowed feminist mag calls for it to be shut down say its very existence is “violence against women”

The only person making nebulous claims is you and all for the most childish temper tantrum reason and then when corned you try to backpedal uphill.

A attack on yoru views is not an attack on you and a attack on a the disgusting views of a political group is not a attack on women or a attack on you personally.

The hill you are choosing to die on is a hill of diarrhea.

theexodvs

All I said is that women’s power, or whatever you guys say is going on, is not causing men to commit suicide. Suicide is complex issues and only a moral monster would use suicide the way you are to issue political statements.

Oh, and if you want to call your opponent childish, don’t talk about “hills of diarrhea.”

proctain

Look you weasel word spewing backpedaling pile of tripe. I am saying that you are choosing to attack men and abolish feminist of their responsibility. You are doing this while directly saying dead men matter less than living women. I am saying out rite without menacing words that you are choosing to take and hold a position that is at the top of a pile of filth.

If you can’t see that both you are your position are in great need of reevaluation then you have lost yourself in a childish fantasy. A fantasy where you place yourself as a hero atop piles of men killed by a society proven to be apathetic about their pain and with supreme obtuseness you claim that women whining about coffee on twitter is MORE IMPORTANT THAN DEAD MEN.

You see proof of feminist placing into law hatred of men and it is killing men then you claim women are the ultimate victim.

That is a delusion. It is a fantasy and you cling to it above evidence and reason makes you the mental equivalent of a child.

theexodvs

You are putting words in my mouth again.

Oh, and men’s abuse shelters directly benefit rich and powerful men and no one else. Period.

proctain

You just proved how delusional you truly are. Because you saw men, you saw a service they desperately need, and then made a absurd LIE to uphold your childish fantasy.

I placed no words into your mouth. You have made the most horrible of specious claims time and again to uphold your false position and now you are trying to take the moral high ground. Of which you have none.

It is immoral to demonize a GENDER just so you can play victim and ignore what EXTREMELY SERIOUS issue they face.

siryouarebeingmocked

>Oh, and if you want to call your opponent childish, don’t talk about “hills of diarrhea.”

HAMLET: Do you think I meant country matters? OPHELIA: I think nothing, my lord.

CHIRON: Thous has undone our mother. AARON: Villain, I have done they mother.

IAGO: I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs.

DROMIO: A man may break a word with you sire, and words are but wind. Ay, and break it in your face, so he break it not behind.

Ah, Shakespeare.

>Oh, and men’s abuse shelters directly benefit rich and powerful men and no one else. Period.

Because rich and powerful men need abuse shelters? Can’t they just stay in a hotel, or their second home, or just get the woman arrested? Is it some kind of tax-write off? What’s the lolgic here?

Are you just saying out whatever thrice-turned excrement comes to mind and hoping it’ll be the devastating one-liner that makes proctain give up?

theunnamedstranger

> Oh, and men’s abuse shelters directly benefit rich and powerful men and no one else. Period.

What kind of dense motherfucker types this out, hits “reblog” and thinks “yes this is a sensible thing to say and not retarded”

coal-lk

The dictionary specifically describes unicorns as “mythical”. In other words, that they exist only in stories and shared imagination. It does not do this for misandry. The entire conversation is moot.

siryouarebeingmocked

Wait, you mean theexodvs is just saying whatever comes to mind as a deflection, without actually thinking about it?

Preposterous.

You’re going down punk, just you FUCKNG WAIT!! You will learn that this fandom is far worse than you will ever want to know. We may seem soft and shy, but we’re just being NICE! We can be cold, cruel, mean, and make you suffer and wish you had never said what you said. We can send you into the farthest most empty reaches of the galaxy, summon demons to our disposal to make you suffer, and make you feel the feelings that we experience, and don’t fucking think for a single goddamn second that’s easy! The amount of emotions that would boil inside of you would literally kill you. So keep your motherfucking distance and we won’t hurt you, so stay the hell back, asshole. If you so much as insult us one more time, we will bring firey hell upon you and bitch slap you into oblivion. Your move, dildo.

#i need some adults to TEACH ME SHIT ABOUT LIFE

flutterjedi-deactivated20140413

I’m an adult.

thatsnicebutimmarried

Some shit about life, from a bonafide adult:

even if you get along great with your family you will get along even better with them after moving out

generic is almost always just as good as name brand. But there are some things you never buy generic, including: peanut butter, ketchup, liquid NyQuil, Chips-Ahoy chewy chocolate chip cookies

just imagine the person on the other end of the phone hates talking on the phone as much as you do. Even a receptionist. I worked as one and I hate talking on the phone

at least once in your life you will go to Wal-mart to buy something under $20 like an ironing board or something and your debit card will get rejected. No one will judge. Everyone at some point in their lives has had $2.98 in their bank account.

thrift stores

everyone else is too busy panicking about everyone else noticing every tiny thing that could possibly be wrong about them to notice any tiny thing that could possibly be wrong about you

you will screw up. a lot. you live and you learn. and when you start to think too hard about that embarrassing thing that happened and how you wish you could change it, just tell yourself that what’s done is done. There’s no changing it, so just forget it and move on. It’s the only way to stay sane.

do the dishes before the sink grows its own ecosystem

you can’t put Dawn dishsoap in the dishwasher.

if you are the only one in the aisle at the grocery store, and you need to get from one end to the other without even looking at anything in that aisle, then you should totally cart-surf down the aisle. Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional. Hold on to the little things. They make all the difference.

never try to make cake from scratch at 3am. You end up with a topographical map of Middle Earth.

15% tip.

the best way to get money for food is to tell your grandparents about how you basically live on microwaved mac and cheese. Their horror may result in twenty bucks and orders to go out and get yourself “a real dinner”.

sometimes life sucks, and knowing that it might get better doesn’t always make it suck any less, but you’ll never get to the non-sucky days without enduring the suckiness.

no seriously, NEVER put Dawn in your dishwasher

250darkstars

Do not buy generic brand spaghetti sauce either.

Always check the type of light bulb that goes in lamps. A 60w is not interchangeable with a 40w.

Dollar store batteries work just as well as store brand.

shrineart

Reward yourself from time to time when you do things that you needed to get done. It’s a good way to remind yourself to do them. Going out to pay a bill? Get Starbucks or something you don’t get often. Rewards don’t have to be huge, they can be small things like that.

Rice, pasta, flour, sugar, cheese, eggs, milk, a pack of chicken, a pack of frozen veggies and a well stocked spice cabinet go a long way food-wise. Splurge and get the biggest container of rice you can. You don’t have to go back and buy it again anytime soon and it makes a TON of meals in the meantime.

Rice can be cooked on the stove. You don’t need a fancy rice cooker. Two parts water to every one part rice (two cups water for one cup of rice for example). Get your water boiling, add rice, put a plate or lid on it, put it on low for 20 minutes. It should be done.

Keep a calendar on your pc of bill due dates. If your bills are set up at inconvenient times, like all of the services started on the first or something, then call up the company and find out if you can get your billing date switched to something more manageable. A lot of places do try to work with you.

There is no shame in calling a company and asking for an extension on a bill. Let them know what you can pay, pay that amount, and they arrange when the rest of the payment is required. This can stop you from having services shut off man. It shows responsibility on your part.

Take time to eat, even when you don’t feel like eating. Your body needs energy to live.

Wash or rinse your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. It prevents gross caked on junk.

“The Works” is an excellent cheap toilet cleaner.

MAGIC. FUCKING. ERASERS. THEY WORK ON EVERYTHING JUST DON’T SCRUB HARD. I took the ring out of our bathtub with one. Also generic ones work just as well.

Keep some bleach around but if you use it for cleaning? Dillute it. There’s rarely ever a case where you need to pout straight bleach on anything. A cap full or two in a bucket of water works just fine.

DO NOT MIX CLEANERS. Chemical reactions are can be very dangerous. Here’s a good list. (Note that vinegar and baking soda can actually be a good combo for removing smells from things but it’s not very good at actually -cleaning-.)

If you drink? Don’t take meds at the same time it’s just not good.

Make sure you check the dosages on your pill bottles. No one wants to accidentally overdose on cough syrup or ibuprofen.

If you have a uterus make sure you have a heating pad and ibuprofen on hand for the pain. Hot baths also generally help and Ginger Tea is excellent for any nausea.

Buy a first aid kit. It’s worth it in the long run.

You can often do your taxes online at places like TurboTax.

Here’s some good sex ed resources because I had to explain what a yeast infection was recently.

Petroleum jelly (aka Vaseline) is good for chapped lips and you can get a decent sized tube or tub of it (generic brand version) for cheaper/same price as Chapstick.

KEEP TRIPLE ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT IN YOUR HOUSE FOR CUTS AND SCRAPES AND SORES.

~~Medications~~

Over the counter medications (stuff you can buy right off the shelf no prescription needed) have a name brand and a generic name. ALWAYS buy generic if it’s available it is literally the same thing and way cheaper usually.

Some names to remember when you’re looking for meds!

Acetaminophen = Tylenol

Used to treat pain and reduce fever. Do not take with Ibuprofen.

Ibuprofen = Advil, Midol, Motrin

Used for pain and fever, is an anti-inflammtory. Is good for period cramps because it is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).

Naproxen = Aleve, Naprosyn

Treats fever, pain, arthritis pain, gout, period cramps, tendinitis, headache, backache, and toothache. Is also an NSAID.

Acetaminophen + Asprin + Caffeine = Excedrin

Usually marketed as “Migraine Relief” as a generic.

Asprin = Bayer

Use for pain, fever, arthritis, and inflammation. Makes you bleed easily so should not be used for periods. Might reduce risk of heart attacks.\

Triple Antibiotic Ointment = Neosporin

Used on cuts, sores, and scrapes to reduce risk of infection and promote healing.

Also a general mutli-vitamin isn’t a bad idea and if you don’t get a lot of fruits or milk/sunshine in your diet you might want to get vitamins C and D specifically for daily use.

kiokushitakaa

if you do accidentally lapse and put dawn in your dishwasher, run it empty and put hair conditioner where the detergent goes. that’ll clean it out (tip given to me by dorm custodian when roommate did the thing).

if you live off ramen, add stuff to it! add veggies you like, don’t use the whole flavor packet to cut down on sodium and msg or don’t use it at all and add your own spices.

if you’re making something with potatoes in it (beans, stew) potatoes are done when you can easily stab a fork through them.

you can microwave a hotdog as long as you put it in a microwave safe container of water. microwaves work by making water molecules vibrate. also, when reheating rice leftovers, add a small amount of water, like maybe a spoonfull, so it doesn’t get hard and crunchy.

the rice cooking advice above is for long grain rice. if you’re making short or medium grain rice, a 1:1 ratio (one cup water for one cup rice) is better, so the rice doesn’t come out too mushy.

buy a few cans of chicken. wholesale club stores like sam’s, costco, or bj’s tend to carry multipacks for a good price. they’re incredibly useful for when you forget to defrost meat.

buy meat on sale and put it in the freezer. buy vegetables on sale, and put them in the freezer. frozen veggies are often as flavorful and good as fresh ones, keep longer, and often come in microwaveable bags or with microwave directions.

soak ink stains in milk to help get them out or at least lighten them.

soak blood stains in water as soon as possible, with a bit of detergent or stain remover. scrub at them. use cold water, heat binds proteins to fabric. tbh, there’s no real need to change the washer from cold-cold setting unless the thing you’re washing says to wash in warm water.

acetone, found in most nail polish removers, dissolves super glue.

I’m the newest of new adults but I’m gonna throw these little tips in there. IF YOU HAVE AN OLD CAR:

-coolant or water if your car overheats (coolant is preferable cause it won’t hurt the engine in the long run but hey i know money is tight)

-flashlight in case you break down at night and need to check under the hood and your phone is dead

-SPARE TIRE.

-jumper cables.you will at some point leave your lights on. you just will.

AAA or any other road side service is never a bad investment i swear. (try to mooch it off your parents as long as you can though)

shipperqueen93

Know how to change a tire. You’re going to need to do it at some point in time and you can’t always rely on someone else to do it for you.

Don’t be afraid to go to your local food bank. They are there for a reason.

Don’t be ashamed to ask for help period. Life is hard, everyone needs help occasionally.

woodelf68

You can put a LOWER wattage bulb in a lamp that says it’s for a higher one, but don’t put a HIGHER wattage bulb in. Also, watts refer to the amount of electricity used. LUMENS refers to the amount of light put out, and can vary quite a bit between brands, even though the wattage is the same. Look for the one with the highest lumens unless you actually want a slightly dimmer bulb in a certain location. Those dollar store batteries? Fine if they’re alkaline. “Heavy-duty” batteries, however, won’t last nearly as long. You can microwave a hot dog and bun simply by wrapping them in a toweling for a minute, less if you don’t want them scalding hot.

Reblogging to save lives.

faranae-moved

Two adulting (kitchen-related) tips from me!

1. Buy a roll of parchment paper from the cooking shit aisle. A big roll will last you for-fucking-ever. Pretty much any time you’re using a baking pan you can line it with that stuff and save yourself A: food sticking to the pan and B: it’s a quick rinse and it’s clean.

2. Bread can get fucking expensive, so make your own. A bigass bag of flour and a bag of active dry yeast (store it in the friiiiidge!!!) works out a FUCK of a lot cheaper than buying bread at the store, and you can do so much more with it. Bread, pizza, rolls, cinnibuns, homemade pizza pockets. It seems intimidating but it’s stupid easy.

Seriously. It’s stupid simple to make, and most of the “3 hours” to make it is sitting around surfing the internet or doing whatever the fuck you want while the dough rises. If you have an afternoon free once a week to sit and play video games or surf the net, you have the time to make your own bread on the cheap. Here’s my simple-as-fuck recipe:

2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (You can buy a bag of this stuff CHEAP in bulk stores, the little packets are hella stupid priced) 1 cup warm water (think a hot bath) 1 ½ teaspoons sugar 2 tablespoons oil (any kind works for the most part) 2 ¼ cups flour 1 teaspoon salt

1. Stir the yeast, water, sugar, and oil up in a bowl. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. It will foam up VERY high, this is the yeast getting happy! If it doesn’t get all foamy, the water may have been too hot or not hot enough. Remember, Yeast is alive! Treat it like a nice girlfriend!

2. Mix your flour, salt, and the yeast concoction up in a bowl.

3. Knead that shit for about 5 minutes. It will start sticky as heck, but will come together into a nice dough. If it’s still super sticky, toss in a bit more flour. Here’s how to knead it:

4. Put your dough in a covered, lightly oiled bowl and leave it someplace warmish for an hour. At that point it will have roughly doubled in size, give it a gentle punch to release the gasses that have built up inside. Cover it again and let it sit for a bit longer.

Boom. You have bread dough. Here are some baking times and uses for ya:

Optional egg-wash: Just crack an egg into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and mix the bejeebus out of it with a fork. Brush (or if you’re like me, goop it on with said fork) that shit thinly on bread before baking for a nice crust.

Pizza: Stretch it on a pan, stab the fucker all over with a fork, add toppings, bake 425*F 15-20 minutes.

Bread Sticks: Make snake-shapes, let rest on pan 10-ish minutes, bake 400*F 10-20 minutes.

Dinner rolls: Make ball-sized (yes those balls) balls. Place on greased pan, let rest 10-20 minutes to rise. Egg-wash and bake 375*F 25 minutes.

Bread: Lightly score (cut) the top, let sit for 20-ish minutes on/in whatever you’re using to bake it, egg-wash, bake at 375*F for 20-ish minutes. It’s done when it sounds hollow if you knock on the bottom.

You bet your ass you can deep-fry this shit for cheapie yeast doughnuts. Roll that shit in sugar or dip it in whatever, it’s fucking tasty.

Bagels: YES. YOU. CAN. Form bagel-shapes out of the dough and boil them in salty water for about 2 minutes. Egg-wash them and bake them at 400*F for 10 minutes.

Cinnamon Rolls: Roll that shit out into a rectangle. Brush it with a mix of butter, cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt (no exact amounts here, do it to your taste). Roll it up into a log, and cut it into discs. Let them sit 20 minutes in a pan and then bake at 375*F 15-17 minutes.

You can add whatever you want to the dough for some variety, just if it’s dried spices remember you really only need 1-ish tablespoons. I personally like making bread with about 1 tablespoon of dill in the dough. Roll it out flat, sprinkle it with cheddar, roll it into a log, squeeze the ends shut, and bake it like a regular loaf of bread. Cheesy dill bread OMNOMNOM.

*ahem* That got a bit long. But yeah. Bread’s expensive, yo. Save your wallet.

(Also it’s ridiculous amounts of therapeutic to bake, for me anyway)

tempestcaliban

Being able to bake your own bread is pretty awesome, if you got the time for it.

KEEPING FOREVER

marcusseldon

(note: I have no romantic or sexualized experience myself, so I admit *some* of these points rely entirely on secondhand stuff and media)

One thing I think is not talked about very much is that straight men live pretty much desexualized lives if we’re not actually having sex at that moment, and then there’s not much room to be the object rather than subject.

As I’ve said before, we men don’t have clothing options for “dressing sexy” in masculine clothing (there is cross dressing but that is different). There’s no male equivalent to the short skirt or low cut top. There’s no male lingerie that isn’t seen as a joke.

Further, we just don’t get validation for our sexuality outside of a sexual partner. We are almost never complimented for our looks or sexiness from platonic friends like women are, especially same sex friends.

There really aren’t many straight male role models for raw aesthetic sexiness in mainstream culture (besides unnaturally muscled men). In fiction, male characters are almost never attractive for embodying sexiness but rather for doing things (saving the world, being extremely witty, being a genius, winning the tournament, etc.). Their sexiness is non-aesthetic and sometimes is in spite of their aesthetics.

Anecdotally, it seems like a lot of men aren’t even called physically hot and sexy by their own sexual partners, who themselves focus on personality. There’s not much room to fulfill the role of passive sexism object for you partner for many/most men.

I think it is telling that a lot of porn for men ignores the man’s personality and has a woman just throwing themselves at the man, overcome with lust.

Also there the fact that women seem to rarely approach men and some seem to often expect the man to do most of the sexual escalation, especially in the early stages.

We talk about women of color or women who are disabled being sexualized, but we don’t talk about how all straight men are desexualized and denied the ability to be sexualized object.

oh my god… that’s why they send dick pics

“witness me!”

thefutureoneandall

There are occasional reddit threads about things like this: “guys who send unsolicited dick pics, why do you do it?”

The answer always seems to be some combination of slot machine mentality (“maybe this one will like it, and make the other 50 worthwhile”) and a desire for witness. Surprising numbers of people admit that it’s validation even if the reaction is negative, simply because they’re still being viewed in a totally sexual context.

At the very least that has obvious consequences for people trying to reduce dick pic sending. There’s some core of people who can’t possibly be reached with “it’s not attractive to women” because that was never their expectation.

More broadly, I think efforts to get (Western?) men to emphasize with objectification wildly underestimate the challenge they’re facing. It’s not just a sympathy shortage, it’s a totally unfamiliar feeling. Making things even harder, it’s a feeling a lot of men say they wish they could have.

The usual narrative on not (politely) complimenting the appearance of unknown women is “sure, it’s nice if it happens once, but think about how annoyed you’d be if it happened all the time”. Fine in general terms, but I think a lot of men don’t have any way to intuit the emotional difference between too-frequent compliments and being pestered with too much of something totally innocuous like requests for the date.

The comments on those articles are frequently from men saying they’ve literally never received a single compliment from a stranger on their appearance, and can’t imagine what it would be like. The ones who have are often talking about a single, years-old compliment they still cherish. That’s not a framework that supports more than a purely theoretical understanding of what’s it’s like to be valued for your appearance too heavily - or at all.

Obviously that’s not universal, any more than all women are catcalled, but it seems like a really serious communication failure to appeal to a sense of objectification that much of your audience has literally never felt, and desperately wants.

Can confirm, I’d take literally any compliment on anything at this point, and would cherish it.

one day we gotta get all the men and all the women to sit down together and hash this stuff out between them, how hard can it be.

arjan-de-lumens

This discussion kind of reminds me of a story that made the rounds about a year ago, where a woman, after having gotten a bit tired with dick pics, decided to try to get her “revenge” of sorts, by sending unsolicited vagina pics to 40 random men:

https://www.thrillist.com/sex-dating/los-angeles/we-sent-a-preemptive-v-pic-before-dudes-could-send-dick-pics-heres-what-happened

Let’s be honest: while I enjoy penises, I don’t necessarily want unexpected visual boners intruding on my day. I wondered, “What would guys do if I turned the tables and sent them an unexpected vagina pic?” And so, in my own twist on revenge porn, I sent 40 unexpected vagina pics to men on Bumble.

This … didn’t work out the way she apparently expected it to:

Overall, I was surprised that I didn’t get my, “Gotcha!” moment. I’d initially hoped the guys would see how invasive it is to receive such intimate photos from a stranger. When I’m excited to get to know a guy, his penis isn’t the first part of him that I want to know. But given that men like to send dick pics, I suppose their enthusiasm for v-pics makes sense.

So, basically, women experience dick picks as a net negative, as an intimacy violation, while men experience v-pics as a huge positive, as validation and an indicator of interest.

This seems consistent with the above discussion, where it’s a pretty common male experience to basically never receive any sexual attention ever and thus respond really strongly positively to whatever scraps come their way (or to start trolling for attention - with the point of some of these dick pics apparently being to get any attention at all, no matter how hostile), while a common female experience seems to be more like being flooded with unwanted sexual attention and wanting a way to make it stop -

resulting in an absolutely massive inferential gap - with the result that if you’re on one side of the gap and try to describe your feelings and experiences to the people on the other side, whatever words you have will just fall on deaf ears because the feeling and experiences you describe are … not just unfamiliar, but outright alien, to the ones on the other side.

This alienness is … mutual.

For men, it feels like no men are sexy to women.

For women, it feels like all women are sexy to men.

It’s like one person dying of dehydration watching another one drown.

“It’s like one person dying of dehydration watching another one drown.”

the conversation has gotten longer, so i’m reblogging

the-real-seebs

… This is so cool. It actually makes sense.

jumpingjacktrash

but of course women are wary of just giving men compliments, because attention-starved men are likely to take it as a come-on. what a dilemma.

lousidity

So what I’m getting from this… Is that my idea of taking popular types of fiction and essentially ‘flipping the script’ so that there are sexy male characters as ‘damsel in distress’ types would actually be very good and help a lot of people become comfortable with their sexuality?

jumpingjacktrash

it could well! i’m not the guy to answer this really, i’m queer and also i’ve always been pretty comfortable with being the one giving the compliments (and just asking for validation when i need it). but i do think there’s a place in the world for fiction where The Sexy One is male.

consider chris hemsworth in ghostbusters. that one’s a bit mean-spirited, with him being hilariously clueless, but you’ve got that dynamic where what he contributes is, he’s hot. that’s it. and i found it kind of a breath of fresh air, not because it was a fuck-you to sexist tropes, but because it’s never, ever enough for a guy to be attractive, but here it was, and that was fun to see.

roachpatrol

i once thoughtlessly complimented a guy on his jacket, because he and his friend rounded the corner and suddenly i was confronted with an extremely handsome young man in a very fashionable black leather jacket, and i blurted out ‘whoah, nice jacket, you’re looking good!’ and the look on his face was just this explosion of surprise and delight– he actually kind of missed a step. the next minute i was like shit shit SHIT what if things get weird JEEZ but he and his friend were already walking past, and his friend just started laughing. kind of this ‘whoah, cool, what the hell’ laugh, and when i glanced back they’d both kind of lit up and were elbowing each other as they walked away. i was extremely relieved to have like dodged a bullet of ‘if you let a man know you are attracted to them at close range GOD KNOWS WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN BUT IT’S GONNA BE OBNOXIOUS PROBABLY’ and then also pleased that i’d made that guy’s day. but also like. i guess now i’m realizing i probably made that guy’s decade…

i wish it was more common to compliment people– especially guys– in a casual way. but when you live as a woman you can spend a lot more time dodging men’s attention rather than soliciting it…

maybe male poledancing is like, the next big fad to cash in on? guys can enjoy getting hit on and girls can enjoy there being a specific space for that, that they, the girls, can leave afterwards.

fozmeadows

I’d honestly never considered this before; it makes a lot of sense. *internally recalculates a bunch of stuff*

your-local-god

Actually this is why I started complimenting guys more out in public than girls. The girls always seemed spooked and the compliments unwanted. But the guys? They’re entire body lights up! They smile brighter, stand up straighter and just glow. Tell a guy he looks good. Most are too shocked to make any creepy advances and 99% of the ones I’ve talked to always seem happier afterwards.

seoulmate89

Super interesting read and a topic that should be discussed, but as a queer man I see this from an outside perspective. I believe this phenomenon is a result of patriarchy and toxic masculinity. This burden shouldn’t be placed on women to change, it should be for the men to change this culture. Once men are comfortable enough with male sexual objectification in media, and once men are comfortable enough complimenting other men on their physical appearance (just like females do to each other), eventually women (and men) may feel safe enough to compliment unknown men in public. It would be interesting to know the differences in countries where toxic masculinity doesn’t have as much of a stronghold.

badxwolfxrising

That analogy of a person dying of dehydration watching another drown…like fuck. The idea that men crave the very sort of attention women have come to dread is mind boggling. Just once, I’d like to be able to put on my makeup or dress provacatively without the assumption being that I do it to titilate men rather than feel confident in my own skin. I wonder if roles were reversed and men had always been the overtly sexualized ones would people feel the same way about this sort of attention?

perfectlygenericblog

As a kid, I was always told to “treat others as you wish to be treated.” Most people probably hear some version of this, but not necessarily in so many words. Maybe as a kid you called someone names, so your parents sat you down to tell you that it was wrong by saying “what would you think if someone called you names?”. Nobody ever tells their kids that, when it comes to sex, that whole dynamic goes out the window.

When women get upset at the stuff that guys do, especially very young guys, it’s usually shocking to them. “Why didn’t she like that? I’d love it if someone did that for me.” And as guys continue trying to get girls to like them, they keep fucking up. Some guys learn from their mistakes and change their behavior. Others build up a resentment towards women for rejecting what they believe are perfectly reasonable advances.

The “Chad/Incel” dichotomy is just a hugely distorted representation of this crucial point of development that some people don’t pass.

cookingwithroxy

Aside from the one person who decided to make this issue about ‘Toxic Masculinity’ (because sweet jesus apparently it can’t a thing be about a wide sociological issue having to deal with the ways we value men and women differently without someone deciding it’s all men’s fault somehow) this has been as always an interesting read.

siryouarebeingmocked

marcusseldon >I think it is telling that a lot of porn for men ignores the man’s personality and has a woman just throwing themselves at the man, overcome with lust.

Or reduces the man to a penis and set of washboard abs. I once heard someone joke “in porn, the man is less important than the couch”.

thej-key

Now, of course, as a dude who was kinda a big part of this conversation, I’ve gained a lot of perspective on this issue over time.

Someone in this list listed Chris Hemsworth in the Ghostbusters movie as a positive example of a reversal character, and that’s just not true.

While the damsel in distress trope is overplayed and all that, often the damsel is given at least a bit of development someplace in the world. Even Juliet had her own plans and agency.

Whereas in Ghostbusters the character was almost literally dumber than a box of rocks, and nowhere near an analogue to the character his was supposed to replace/represent in terms of the ghostbusters fiction.

Now in terms of the Toxic Masculinity brought up, I agree that the responsibility shouldn’t necessarily all be placed on women, but I also don’t think this is something men did to themselves. Both sides of the story contribute to society in some way, and I believe that both are just as equally at fault.

Something I had a recent thought about in terms of the clothing choices for men was that there was more emphasis on subtle changes than new actual styles. In women’s clothing there’s flapper dresses to ballroom outfits, all manner of ornamentation, cuts and coloring.

But men’s clothes? Men’s fashion? The different suits and shoes have more in common than apart. It becomes more of a game of detail for the experts to show their stripes than it becomes any sort of artistic expression of style.

“My collar is just so different from that collar, but unlike other stylists I have paired this collar with a jacket with *this* type of taper from the 60’s instead of the 50’s! How scandalous!”

And it’ll still be a black jacket on a white shirt with a red, blue, or black tie. You would have to reduce that suit to its lines to find differences and none of them would be meaningful other than for you to notice that they’re different.

I’m fucking tired of wearing blue.

I have been called hot twice in my entire life and one of those times was a female friend who I had to ask and she emphasized that I wasn’t her type but traditionally attractive so 1.5

siryouarebeingmocked

I know I’m attractive, but it’s mostly secondhand. I mostly have to infer it by the way girls stare at me moony-eyed or check me out. I can literally recall only one or two incident where someone personally told me I was attractive, instead of saying it to my sister or something.

I have cute eyes, apparently? I don’t see it.

sparklecorpse-deactivated201906

i dont care if u never listen to me ever again just let me be ur internet dad for just one second: dont start cutting yourselves please ever

sparklecorpse-deactivated201906

ok im gonna reblog this again bc i want more ppl to see it?? ive compiled a (by no means complete) list of the things u can expect if u start:

- u cant stop. its a legitimate addiction. there is no ‘seeing what its like’. its soso hard to stop it and believe me, because that was me. i thought i would sate my curiosity but all i did was make my life miserable - everything can become a trigger. someone carved things in a table?? trigger. u get a scratch by accident?? trigger. see something sharp?? yup. - the scars dont go away and if people see them (and no matter how hard you try, people will see them) they get this awful fucking look on their face like a mixture of disgust and horror and pity - u have to sit through people making shitty fucking jokes and calling people like you (real, struggling people like you) edgy emos looking for attention and it makes you feel sick but you have to sit there silently - in fact, any conversation about self harm becomes thoroughly uncomfortable because they’ll talk about it like no one in the room has ever gone through it (or, if they know, they’ll glance at you out the corner of their eye when they think you cant see) - any emotion can give you the urges- not just negative. ur body associates the happy feeling with the pain so ur brain is like ‘????? u cant have one without the other??’ - it can have been years. years. you can have stopped and got better and you’ll still feel the urge to hurt yourself and it makes you feel like you haven’t improved at all and you’re still fourteen and hating yourself - (maybe this is just me) but some part of you misses it?? you stopped and you know its horrific but its so difficult to get rid of your blades or whatever you use because you feel so weirdly attached to these things that are so awful and you dont even know why

god damn i just want yall to understand that you dont have to hurt yourself ever, okay?? just. don’t. trust me.

seriously, if you’re thinking of starting…don’t.

arguingtumbleruser

Hey hey i have done serious, possibly irreversible nerve damage in my arms that causes my scars to hurt and my hands to occasionally go numb. The cause? I went so deep. So maybe you’re thinking “well i won’t go that deep. I don’t want to kill myself with it” except it doesn’t work like that. I started shallow. I started minor. Like cat scratches. But as others have pointed out, it is a legitimate addiction. And with addiction, you build tolerance. You will go deeper. It will get worse. Don’t start.

too-easy-being-green-deactivate

Honestly, I have a problem with self-harm that I’m working to overcome but I’d definetly give the same advice on never starting in the first place. There are so many better things you can do and you may think it will help but it won’t, it will only make things worse. Spend the time you’d otherwise devote to self-harming to learning other healthier coping mechanisms.

it’s still wrong, especially considering it’s something that can’t be helped 🤷🏻‍♀️

that’s like making fun of women for their breast size

yeah ^ what the fuck is up with the double standards regarding body shaming nowadays? you can laugh at a guy because he has a small dick, something that cant be helped, but if you say a woman has extra curves or something people call you fatphobic and rip you to pieces

DRAW THIS AGAIN: Megaman X4, X and Zero!

I drew this exact same picture ten or more years ago, more than I could remember. Do you know at that time, that moment as I was stroking my pen on the line paper, X and Zero was so REAL to me?!? I played Megaman X4 a lot and tried to do a fan art of it. It was the most epic piece back then, and now still is! It makes me, ME!
