@TheXMatriarch The bigger question I've come across is, "If women can't differentiate between the good men who make mistakes and the bad men who are their mistakes, is there a point to defining ourselves as either when we're only seen as bad men or potentially bad men?
@JustBotBecky Did people skip the whole grade that taught us to use our words and keep our hands to ourselves.
The moment you lay hands on someone it's a non verbal agreement that you want physical engagement, can't complain after the fact.
@5uff0c4t3 Aww ^-^
Knowing that you're around has brightened many days, especially mine. You bring a special comfort that hard to put to words. Though you may not hear them enough, I hope they're felt all the same.
We love you too Kota.π
@5uff0c4t3 I love how women can be outspokenly supportive of each other even for the smallest things. It's wonderful having people there to hype you up. β¨οΈ
@Sonderisfon Everyone else that sees the parts that I don't mask. They remind me of the person I was before my mind frayed and my soul shattered.
While I may have lost faith in most aspect of life, I still believe in them and what they see. One day I'll share their perspective.
@D4RKS1GNSx I'd like to hear about all that's been working for you lately, maybe it'll last as long as you keep adding to it. ^-^
I've been learning discomfort and fear is far more troubling preparing for it than from the midst of it.
@The_RomaArmy I was taught "If someone hits you, hit them back harder". That advice had only brought about trouble, though I still wish I could shared his guidance with him.
I taught myself to dissuade others from perpetuating violence when possible. Only the powerful can exercise restraint.
@5uff0c4t3 Trying to unlearned that reflex of reeling ourselves in where others have pulled away takes a lot of encouragement and support. Hope I get to see you in full bloom some day.
@5uff0c4t3 It's a shame when people begin to bury themselves after being strung along by people that didn't know how to love them. It's tough to recover from and dismiss doubts that you were never meant to carry.
@5uff0c4t3 People's beliefs take precedence over their limited knowledge. Their lack of information will never hinder them from weighing their 2 cents against leading experts and well sourced information. Judgement based on what they think is and isn't possible is as good as fact.
@AGrumpyScotsman "One quick game" translates to "A few satisfying wins" or "One demoralizing thrashing not soon to be forgotten".
I refuse to believe there's other outcomes.
@JustBotBecky Men don't want these people to be jailed where they will just pop right out to repeat the same shit.
Either they're rehabilitated and offered the services needed to safely reintegration into society or be done with them all together.
Jail isn't a solution.
