Women Are Human

Since men are the ones who impose pregnancy on us whether we want it or not, they should be the ones who are obligated to take preventative measures, period.

...that it's not fair to judge everyone based on your own bad experiences (calling you "damaged" already while simultaneously believing he's being polite)...

...and that feeling hostility or distrust toward half the population is not in your best interest.

Politely suffer all this, but remain firm in your stance. Then watch his sudden rage kick in.

Often he'll begin calling you a bitter miserable damaged woman (blaming you for any abuse he's projecting onto you), say that you're probably ugly and fat, involuntarily single, and going to die alone, and then he'll sanctimoniously tell you that he hopes you'll heal...so you can get back out there to be thrashed and exploited by "nice guys" like him. Men have this explosive anger and disgust toward women who will not submit to their opinions and desires, and they quickly reach a point where they no longer care if you know they hate women.

Each time it happens I think, "Imagine if I'd actually trusted any man who presented himself as reasonable and respectful of women, as they all do at first, given what is always, always, ALWAYS lurking behind that facade, and what comes out the moment they can't dominate me."

Consider also that this particular male's gf is likely the type to go around telling everyone how "wonderful" her Jakey is, while he's online harrassing women and telling them that they have a "tiny female mind" when they don't capitulate to his opinions. But Jakey's always great and SO different, right? Always. Because he only shows her what he wants her to see.

This is what they did to a Canadian

A Quebec man says he is outraged after the U.S. Coast Guard accused him of fishing in American waters and then arrested him before putting him in a jail cell for nearly two hours.

Edouard Lallemand, 60, said he nearly drowned during the ordeal last Sunday afternoon after the Coast Guard’s boat “pushed” his boat, causing it to capsize.

Days after the incident, he’s still shaken up.

People aren't traveling to the US. Even Forbes is reporting a 29 billion dollar loss to your tourism industry for this year. And literally everyone outside of the US is like "yeah of course that tracks, I keep reading news stories about citizens from my country being detained when they go there".

(to say nothing of the incredible anger amongst Canadians for the annexation threats and tariffs attempting to create economic pressure to capitulate to the orange one's bullshit, let alone stories like what happened to the man in the story linked above. We are NOT taking our tourism dollars south anytime soon)

i was looking for a specific article about a mother and son from germany detained at the border for no reason. turns out its happened quite a lot so i actually dont know if this is the one i read about in our local newspaper

What about women and girls who have been abused by males? What about women and girls who have been raped by males? What about women and girls who have PTSD because of males violence? What about Muslim women who cannot even show their hair to a male, let alone their breasts?!? What about the boundaries of women that simply don't want a strange male to see them naked? This is a blatant crossing of boundaries, women deserve the right to male-free spaces, ESPECIALLY where they will be in a vulnerable state of undress.

Maybe you should. And not only teenagers but children as well, the average age in which they encounter pornography for the first time is going down and that is concerning.

And not the "amateur, person recorded in their bedroom", but extreme recorded rape. Whoever claims it doesn't affect people, especially teenagers and children, lies.

My daughter goes to a "good" school in a "good" neighborhood with a nice mix of cultures, the problem isn't the school, or the location, or the demographics... it's a 100% MALE problem. And this problem is affecting my daughter's education.

Belief that women have no agency in their own life is very much prevalent.

"You will change your mind" because you don't have any desires of your own silly, you want what your owner partner wants.

"You will change your mind" because you are not an active participant in your relationship.
