I once worked for a Japanese guy, anyway he did this to me and I just happily accepted the lack of work for weeks if not months before he fired me directly
Fun fact when I was 12 my “friends” orchestrated a fake reality show rose ceremony where they publicly voted me out of the friend group at lunchtime. It was so brutal that almost all of them tracked me down in adulthood to apologize.
I once saw a thread of men sharing what they'd do if they were women, and almost all of them fantasized about one night stands and scamming old men out of their money with sex. None talked about motherhood. So I feel like there's some jealousy going on.
I’m pregnant w/a girl and when I spoke to another mom about raising girls she said sadly, “we tried our hardest to keep her away from pink but she turned out to like it” as if she was talking about cocaine
I know I’m not beating the autism allegations, but I learned small talk at the age of 30 when I pretended conversations were video games and I’d gain a point every time I asked a question and lost a point every time I talked about myself and it worked
A good amount of Twitter is like:
Yes, I’m a leftist. Yes, I want to live in a collective communal society where we all take care of each other. No, I don’t want to ever interact with another human and I perceive all human interaction as an oppressive threat. We exist.
I once worked with this guy who had the perfect scheme going where he solidified his reputation as the “busy guy” so nobody ever asked him to do anything or expected him to know details bc he was “so busy” and in hindsight I think he just never worked
I’ll probably get yelled at for this but I think bachelor/bachelorette parties have gotten completely out of hand. They used to be one night celebrating with your friends and now they’re like, $5,000 trips to Miami with bottle service. It’s not even about marriage anymore.
A lot of “men don’t even wash their face and their skin is great” but let me say: men’s skin isn’t that great, if you took your average man’s skin and put it on a woman’s face she would be considered to have rough, uneven, prematurely aging skin
My toddler had a massive meltdown at the children’s museum because “other kids were there” and while I tried to calm him down, some dad came by and fist bumped me and said “you’re doing great” I wanted to cry 😭
Just imagining all her coworkers trying to make donuts and a new employee is like “what’s Amanda doing” and the rest are like “oh yeah she films herself pretending to eat 6,000 calories a day don’t worry about it”
Selkie is the perfect example of fashion that is both extremely feminine, beautiful and also not appealing (or meant to be appealing) to men. It’s giving birthday party after recent breakup
My hot take is that a lot of people use therapy as a way to determine all the ways they’ve been wronged and victimized by others without making any attempt to meaningfully change their behavior or improve their lives
Twitter is full of women who see this pic and think “back then I’d be the happy big tiddy bimbo who other women side eye for being hot” but I’ve interacted with enough of you to know that in the 60s you’d all be in mental asylums
23yr old trad wives r so bold for saying shit like “Why I traded in a career & climbing the corporate ladder for homemaking.” Like… didn’t u get married at 21? I don’t think quitting ur college internship counts as trading in an established CAREER girl like be serious
In one of my mom groups, a woman posted that her toddler refused to sleep in his own bed because of "a scary man living in my closet" and most of the responses told her to be very afraid because the scary man was probably a real ghost that only her kid was able to see.
A lot of academic study has been devoted to online right-wing spaces cultivating violence but we need more attention to mom groups cultivating schizophrenia.
As a kid the stereotype of librarians was that they were priggish frigid old ladies but today when I hear someone is a librarian I picture a polyamorous woman with 4 lovers and 3 Reddit accounts
I’ve said this before but the idea of a new postpartum mother doing 100% of the childcare and housework without assistance is not only insane, but an extremely recent phenomenon that has zero roots in anything “trad.”
I’ve noticed that certain men on here aren’t able to identify which men would be successful with women or not. Looks being equal, your average woman would vastly prefer a goofy guy who likes to have fun to someone who’s like a “stoic dark triad” or whatever
I’m jealous of Gen Z for missing the era of the “cute top.” I once asked a forum about club outfits ideas and everyone said “jeans and a cute top” and I said “what’s an example of a cute top” and they all just laughed and told me to Google it
Mom groups are reliably where you'll find the most insane ideas in an echo chamber. One mom said she wouldn't buy second hand stuff for her kids "in case the original owner had covid" and another said she won't use her kid's real name in public bc of "traffickers overhearing."
There is some thresshold in an age gap relationship where the older person is past a certain age (70? 80?) where you stop worrying about the younger person being groomed and start worrying about the older person being a victim of elder abuse and idk when that is.
I’ve said this before but the reason our grandmas made it work is there was no expectation to be present or engaged with your children and it was perfectly normal to just let them cry and fend for themselves outside of keeping them alive
Saw a IG reel where a pediatrician was talking about infant sleep and all the comments were moms telling her she was wrong and a highly ranked comment said “why do pediatricians think they have the authority to speak on this” ummmm lol
Still remembering when this girl tweeted “stop saying ‘crackhead’ it’s a racial and classist micro aggression” and this other girl responded “can I say it? i literally smoke crack all the time lmao” and the first girl was like “omg be safe ❤️”
The American class system is bizarre because nobody calls themselves upper class. Like you can make $500k/year with a net worth of $5M and you still call yourself “upper middle class.” I’m sure people will come to inform me that this is, in fact, upper middle class.
*totally not a man voice* Reddit, AITA for riding the cock carousel, chasing Chad (despite being mid myself) and turning down all the nice guys only to die alone with my 10 cats at the decrepit age of 32?
When I was 18-25 I wore dresses like this to any social event including tailgates, dive bars and casual restaurants and everyone was legitimately so mean to me about it but in hindsight I was serving cunt
It bothers me so much how many people on this site imagine a communal society that is conveniently a bunch of other people doing tasks for them and they themselves not really specifying what they contribute in return
When my husband and I were living in San Francisco and had no money we got rejected by a sublet bc they wanted single women only so my husband convinced me to apply again but pretend to be a different person with a British accent and it worked
My male followers may zone out for this one but my biggest issue with baby girl nursery stuff is that I love pink, but everything skews to the wrong type of pink. The superior pink (left) is impossible to find/coordinate. We’re stuck with inferior pink (right).
You know how I know posts like these are written by men? Because women can simply lie about their body count if asked, and I’m not convinced anyone over 22 is asking
I’m hardly a radfem and don’t pretend to be but I’ve noticed women being like “I identify as a dumb hyperfemme bimbo kitten because it’s countercultural and I actually hate men!!!” and like….idk, do the men know? Lol
Saw some weird takes about how Margot Robbie is “too old” to play Barbie (never mind Ryan Gosling being over 40) and tbh even as a child I always thought Barbie was 30? Mine always had multiple kids and several careers, can’t do that at 21.
I can’t speak for all women but I think if a man did this at the same age most women would either scroll past, think it was a little goofy or say the dog was cute.
Very few of them, if any, would say he was overcompensating for not having kids.
Maybe I’ll regret this later, but I don’t plan on ever enrolling my kids in any kind of extracurricular activity unless they ask me to. These things seem to stress everyone out with very little upside.
FAQ:
1) this happened in America, the boss had only been in the US for a year or two, I was one of the only American employees
2)he was a really abusive boss, culture aside (screamed at people, etc)
3)l failed my sales goal by $100k (I brought in $0) prior to the quiet firing
Almost every marriage contains something which would be a total dealbreaker or red flag to another person, but if it’s not a big deal to you, it doesn’t matter if Reddit considers it dysfunctional and toxic
We need a menswear guy for women who isn’t afraid to absolutely roast certain looks. Women aren’t allowed to do this though, we always have to add a disclaimer like “wear what makes you happy!!!”
Have the “it’s racist to not like spicy food” people ever collided with the “Im neurodivergent and can only eat chicken nuggets” people? Could be fun imo
I regret to inform everyone that Old El Paso made salsa for people in the UK and Australia and they went 'mild is too spicy' so they needed a level called "extra mild" to satiate their delicate palates
This is not very feminist of me but I think it’s great rizz for a woman to pretend to occasionally need help with stuff she can actually do on her own. Don’t pretend to be a moron or anything but I think even modern men like to be needed
I fully believe my downfall will be the inevitable day when I’m the crazy person in the airport in a freakout video. I once had a flight canceled after a 9 hour delay and I felt like I was so close to going full r/publicfreakout
@ycsm1n
This is my cartoon! I'm sure the watermark was removed some time before OP came across it, it happens all the time. Anyway hi it's mine glad you like it :-) this was the original
In middle school I was really unpopular and girls would invite me to fake sleepovers as a joke and once this girl actually liked me and said “do you want to sleep over at my house? This isn’t a joke btw”
@DaddyMamu
As an aside, he pressured me into wearing a mini kimono for a trade show and I was like absolutely not that’s cultural appropriation and he was like nobody cares
Fellas, here’s something you need to know about women: we love personal rebrands. It started when we were 9 and vowed to become the “butterfly girl” who always wore butterfly motifs, only wrote in purple pen, and used 2 butterfly hair clips every day.
What exactly do they think is the nefarious force behind this? Most women have a finite amount of kids they want to have. It’s common to regain fertility shortly after birth. Whats the issue lol
@ArmandDoma
I feel like I’m not qualified to say anything but it’s bizarre how every time I see a documentary about someone with no hands or whatever they’re extremely proud of living independently, playing sports, etc and then some people with ADHD are like “I can’t pick up a napkin”
Saw a woman post on Reddit about her traumatic childbirth and one of the comments said “just fyi this is a very American-centric issue….maternal mortality is much lower in Europe”
It’s the era I think. I noticed a sharp drop in men cold approaching me around 2016- I thought it was just bc I was getting older and was married, but I’ve met cute girls in their 20s who say men only approach them on the apps
There’s definitely an intersection between people who think “you should get a second or third chance to integrate into society after murdering a complete stranger” and “you should never work again if you were a Republican in 2010”
Me at 22 wearing a tight dress: ugh that 30 year old woman is staring at me I bet she’s a jealous misogynist
Me at 33: oh that 20-something looks adorable, I love that dress. I wish those cute shoes were in style when I was younger. I hope she has a fun night!
Our standards for men’s skin are simply much lower. Look up any male celebrity known for “aging well” and ask yourself if his skin would still be considered “youthful” on a woman his age.
For about 2 years I was convinced I had a gluten intolerance and got offended when people thought I was imagining it and then I went to Greece and they were like “actually our bread is safe” so I ate it (I was fine) and then when I returned to US my “intolerance” went away lmao
A lot of misogyny comes from the revelation that men, like women, are of varying attractiveness and sexual value. Women figure this out in middle school but a lot of guys see women as 5s, 8s, 7s, etc and themselves as just the Guy, not a 6.
@rebeccarightnow
I used to think the term partner was cringe for hetero people but now that my mom has been with her partner for like 7 years, I get it…she’s 64 lol that can’t be her “boyfriend”
It’s also not your “last night of freedom” bc there’s nothing you could do that night (or realistically, week) that would be ok but suddenly not ok once you’re married. It’s all stupid!
I actually think it’s a form of mental illness to be unsatisfied with a comfortable upper middle class lifestyle because you aren’t making strides to acquire “real wealth.” These people are never happy.
Guy makes $2000 more than he spends per month and the twitter grifters interpret this as "there's no way for him to build long term wealth, he should quit his job and become an entrepreneur"
This dude will make $100,000 above expenses over 4 years and can just invest most of it
@ArmandDoma
One piece of nuance missing is that you (and nearly everyone who agrees with you) don’t actually care if people order DoorDash even if they have no reason at all, you’re just skeptical that they’re physically incapable of microwaving something
Idk how to even react to this. Pink is my favorite!! The people who say “gender has no color and I don’t care if my son wears pink” will live in fear of their daughters “discovering pink” lol
