Have you ever wanted to tell your parents that their poor parenting caused deep emotional trauma, affecting your ability to form healthy relationships in adulthood… but you held back because you realized they lack the intellectual ability and emotional awareness to understand, making the conversation feel as pointless as talking to a brick wall?
At dinner, my sister said, “I could never date a man who doesn't share my political beliefs.” My brother laughed and said, “That's ridiculous. Politics shouldn't matter in a relationship.” She asked him, “Would you date a man who believed women shouldn't have the same rights as you?” He said, “That's different.” She said, “No, that's exactly the point. Your politics tell me what you believe about my life, my body, my freedom, and my place in society. Why would I separate that from who I'm choosing to build a life with?” Nobody at the table had an answer. Apparently ‘don't discuss politics’ gets complicated when the politics are about you.
Children are SA’ed
Teenagers are SA’ed
Adults are SA’ed
Elderly people are SA’ed
People with disabilities are SA’ed
Animals are SA’ed
And you’re still going to sit there and tell me the victim’s clothes are somehow the reason it happened?
depression is embarrassing because sometimes it makes you miss appointments and not return phone calls and when the fog start to lift you gotta do a whole fuckin apology tour. thats shit is crazy.
Men are in my comments crying because I said period products should be free since menstruation isn’t a choice 😭
And they keep replying with:
“Food should be free too, hunger isn’t a choice.”
Like… yes? 😭
I actually agree.
Yes, in fact, I do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonald’s should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That’s kind of the whole point of having a job and I can’t believe this is considered a radical position for me to take.
"It's a baby" when you're banning abortion.
"It's a burden" when it needs food stamps.
"It's a thug" when it's 16.
"It's an illegal" when it crosses a border.
Your "pro-life" has an expiration date. And a race. And a tax bracket.
So my male coworker, who is both misogynistic and homophobic, was saying, “If God didn’t want women to cook, he wouldn’t have put eggs and milk in their body.” And my female coworker replied, “If God didn’t want men to make sweet gay love, he wouldn’t have put their prostates in the booty hole.” .....I chuckled.
My grandmother said, “A woman shouldn't be too independent because men don't like feeling unnecessary.” I asked her, “Why should a woman make herself smaller just to make a man feel bigger?” She said, “Because relationships require compromise.” I said, “Compromise is meeting halfway. Giving up your independence so someone else feels powerful isn't compromise.” My father then said, “But every man wants to feel needed.” I looked at him and said, “Then be the kind of man someone chooses even when she doesn't need you.” Nobody said anything after that. And honestly, I think that's the kind of standard more people should have.
