@Noahpinion I think that's a byproduct of the fact that we position men to be proactive members of the world and don't instill the sense of power, agency and responsibility into women the same way. Both have pros and cons.
@xxl23@VegasHayls Yes god knows so many of us have deeply mixed emotions about marriage, partly because navigating cooperation with independence has always been one of many feminist issues:)
girls love being interrogated by the way. if you tell a girl that you're planning to interrogate her she will be thrilled at the prospect of receiving intense and undivided attention
@ShlomoSolomons@sibaburck@_livy_lou But I recognize it as a selfish and immoral solution. You and I are saying that feeling safe from ED issues supersedes animalsโ right to life or freedom. They donโt have a choice. I think important to spell it out and constantly look to move away from harm
@ShlomoSolomons@sibaburck@_livy_lou So Iโm in a similar boat. I have a lifelong history of EDs and between that and rigorous intense work out schedule have a very specific diet with cottage cheese, yogurt and egg whites most days, and salmon on some days.
Good point. Look for good vegans, not those idiots that witnessed an act of cruelty and decided they donโt want to participate in that. Avoid those numbskulls at any cost.
@morallawwithin You hang in intelligent circles. Many(I think most) vegans are people who started crying when they saw a cattle transport truck and made eye contact with a cow (or something emotional like that).
Suppose you can pick:
OPTION A: ice cream and cookies you eat for the rest of your life have nutritional value of water
OPTION B: one child who canโt walk can walk again
OPTION C: A but only if you magically forget you had the choice, otherwise B
My only piece of romantic advice for men is:
As soon as you know you're romantically interested in a girl, ask her on a date. Use the word "date".
Amazing how many pitfalls and problems this avoids.
This kinda thing isn't wrong and gets said a lot. But I think what's not said as much is while girls should be encouraged to go hard at things, boys need to be encouraged to do "girl-things" that slow girls down that are more about looking out for other people.
