@CremeCatty @Inoiiying Yeah, it's a vicious cycle at best and a case of quantum morality with no solution at worst. I myself am a man, and I don't have kids, but I've helped raise my nieces to try to help them grow up seeing men more accurately than just a threat or a tool, since both are too common.
@Inoiiying @CremeCatty Also worth noting that for a lot of men, their self worth is heavily defined by their ability to protect others, so there's some amount of guilt if the precaution to at least say something isn't followed through on, among other things like pride or just paranoia.
@Inoiiying @CremeCatty It's because a lot of men have some form of experience where someone they know or knew crossed a line, or they know someone who's had that line crossed with them. Doesn't even have to be someone they're close to. It brings out a protective, worrying instinct.
@Swag666Maddy@_Godotto @disco_socialist Iowa's a good offer too. Imagine someone from the UK getting sent down to New Orleans in a old as shit brick house with no AC and damn near no way to vent that heat back out properly.
@CannabisFemale@_Godotto @disco_socialist Not even getting into the humidity index for places like SC (a subtropical climate for those who don't know), down into Louisiana. The heat's one thing, but air so thick it's suffocating is another.
@Fae_the_Gay @jessek @disco_socialist Speaking from experience, nope. Had a German girl insist I'd never last a summer in the UK.
I was living in Savannah with AC that cut out when it got over 90° F at the time when she visited.
Never heard about how bad summers are over there after that.
@a_space_alien @disco_socialist Was talking to a German girl at one point and weather got brought up. She boldly declared that I as an American wouldn't last a German summer. Never got the chance to try, but she came down here to Georgia for a little bit, wondering how we survived the heat.
It was early spring
@ivyisprey Acacia Strain's cover of Black Hole Sun is pretty great, and some of Sleep Token's new releases if you don't already have them on there. In The Deep by Samuel and Dark Seed by Synlakross are also good.
@ivyisprey Either low self esteem and internal value to the point that there's a constant anxiety of just being used in a relationship, or a previous pain left by a girl who acted faithful and was not. At least for some of us.
@cuteangeldolly Some people are for real just assholes who have nothing better to do than hate themselves and take it out on someone they know is out of their league. You're a fine balance between adorable and ravage-able. Aka, too good for em
@theshewiff@DeezySempai I have yet to see a "kill furries" thing detail the fetishization of smashing someone's head in with a sledgehammer, without it being something targeted at one's self. Yet this is somehow largely considered more acceptable.
