| 11 | The Truth About Women in the BibleThe rules were all contextualized by the climate. Wool was probably just a practical fabric, or something similar. Every religious text should be viewed as a survival guide in some spots (like not eating pork because it’s not safe to store). | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/03/21 01:29 PM |
| 10 | If a man says "I will teach you" simply ask "Oh, so you've sucked a lot of them, yes?"I knew a guy who pulled this off only because he had such a small penis. It’s too bad he’s decided to try to spread that gospel to other guys though. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/03/21 05:04 PM |

I know it’s an ADHD thing for him, but is it worthwhile to have to explain each new thing to him? He stopped walking ahead of me into the store once I told him, but it doesn’t seem worth it to have to have one or two talks for each “don’t pull out of the parking lot before I’m buckled/the gps is up” or “stop jerking the car forward at lights/in traffic.

| 2 | 50/50 is a scam!!The first article I read on birth control explicitly mentioned that girls primarily start on it for other reasons than its name. This was in high school, and women who take birth control in adulthood may be more likely to do so for that reason, but you’re absolutely right that it’s insane that we have a medicinal monolith for “girl problems” in birth control. Why wouldn’t we prioritize prescribing or using something safe that focused on fixing period discomfort, or hormonal issues? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/02/21 03:25 PM |

Obviously, where we are now it’s important to prioritize our security as we grow in life, but no human should have to live in that insecurity, especially one who’s already measurably contributed to society (by raising two children to adulthood). | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/02/21 10:32 PM |

Sure her outburst was mean but it sounds like pent up frustration to me wonder which parts he left out 🤔In a role reversal, the yelling would be more likely to be intimidating from the male partner, but the relationship is on its last legs either way because contempt has come into play. I would hope that if we heard from either person’s role as a woman, we would encourage her to get out and work on herself because that marriage has broken, otherwise the speaker could just mop up the dirt and apologize. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/01/21 03:10 AM |

| 24 | The Modern Man's Hatred of WomenThank you for pointing this out. It’s like how marketing adoption is when slandering single mothers started, or how beauty products are marketed on the premise that you don’t start off good enough to exist around other people as a woman.

| 3 | ALWAYS leave your cheating spouse! Every time a woman forgives a cheating man, she is spitting on the grave of all the women who suffered under patriarchy before us. Staying with a cheater is degrading to yourself and to all women.If it helps, the pressure to forgive a cheater has started to go both ways gender-wise in some areas. When I was ending relationships in high school, some of my exes wouldn’t “let” me or wouldn’t acknowledge it until I’d moved on, and they were absolutely willing to forgive this “cheating” if it would bring me back. I’d much rather we just move collectively to a stance of dump any cheater, but at least some people have moved in an egalitarian direction for bad advice. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/12/20 01:54 PM |

The best-case scenario is he recognized a $300 profit to get her a “nice” ring and replace his PS5 later. Depending on the person, a $300-$800 ring might be fine; I don’t set her standards. Worst-case scenario, he sold it, pocketed $750+, and bought a cheaper ring. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/11/20 01:08 PM |

| 5 | The importance of condoms in long-term relationshipsObviously, that’s terrible and I hope you make a full recovery. This is going to sound a little off-topic, but cranberry juice is really useful in preventing UTIs. It helps your private parts prevent bacterial build up, and I would recommend drinking it in general if UTIs are a concern. I got one before ever becoming sexually active, and also found out I was allergic to the treatment, yaay. But I haven’t had any issues since, and it’s kind of been a post-sex drink whenever that’s a concern. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 07/07/20 12:50 PM |

| 2 | TeaI don’t mean that you excuse abuse. I just mean that mental illness is a narrative that abusers use to avoid being considered responsible. Most abusers just aren’t mentally ill (According to Lundy Bancroft’s Why Does He Do That?, a book about various types of abuse in relationships). That does make abuse worse and more dangerous when they are, but it’s caused by attitudes of a partner having less worth as a person, and absolute entitlement in the abusive partner. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 24/06/20 11:46 PM |
| 7 | TeaMost abusers don’t have a diagnosable psychiatric illness. That would definitely worsen abuse, but one of the challenges abuse victims face is that abuse drives them crazy (PTSD, anxiety, and depression can result from abuse for sure), but abusers can be composed moments after the act.

| 27 | Size really does matter: Men with small penises are more likely to be infertile say scientistsThe averages given are still both pretty close to 5 inches for fertile (5.27) and infertile (4.92) men. I’d be interested in seeing the nature of the correlation if it were graphed, but this is a pretty shallow article. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/03/20 09:21 PM |

| 43 | This is how low the bar gets if you don’t have standards: this guy felt “betrayed” because she confided in a friend during their breakup. They got back together. During a long fight he said “I could kill you right now.” Later, he pointed what was probably a real gun at her to “scare her”Incidentally, pointing a gun at someone is definitively still a crime in the legal sense. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/03/20 02:28 PM |

| 6 | Why do men talk crap about their wives?The first person to do it probably got a laugh, and men are socially-starved. Just check the questions about compliments on AskReddit constantly.

| 32 | A man *demanding* women lie to themselves and act like theres any man thats great, or amazing. some are less trash, but they were all trash in one form or anotherYes, but she followed with that she’d date none of those people. There were a lot of questionable parts, but it finishes off with optimism about HVM existing, and the very FDS principle of don’t be a pickmeisha and let LVM stay in your life, since that gives them the idea it’s okay to be a terrible partner. Overall, it’s a very optimistic, if purposely misguided, article. It seems like the author uses optimism about men to cope with trauma. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/03/20 11:13 PM |
| 19 | My boyfriend seems indifferent occasionally.You don’t need to be available on his schedule like that. Go do other things on your time, and only tell him you were out doing whatever it is if he asks when you’re back. He’ll either start missing your presence, or you’ll both just have things to do independently. It sounds like he’s started taking your time and presence for granted, and you’re putting more thought into this guy than enriching your life, which would benefit both of you. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/03/20 11:02 PM |

| 6 | Is There A Way To Tell If A Guy Is Going To Pay Before Going On A Date?This. If a guy expresses an expectation for you to pay for your meal or a coffee, that’s when you walk out by FDS rules. If you want to piece it together first, see how he reacts to saying “it makes me feel so special when a man treats me to dinner/puts effort into planning an evening together.” Drop hints and HVM step up. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 05/03/20 04:13 PM |

| 8 | FDS Therapy Tools: The Stages of ChangeI would go with shaming LVM behaviors and praising HV ones as though it’s not related to him, like by talking about characters in a show or posts online. For the guys who think of women like a hive mind, that really drives home how he should act if he wants to be taken seriously in the dating world. I would also like to know about the cool novel. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 04/03/20 09:06 PM |

| 9 | Growing up abused: shower thoughts from recovering pick-meIt’s not irrational to get angry when someone blames the victim of a crime, especially in front of you casually. It would take a sociopath to ask “why didn’t they have less breakable windows?” or go “seems like he should have worked for a company that didn’t have someone embezzling from the pensions in it.” | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 29/02/20 11:36 PM |

| 18 | List all of the copes LVM have about women...My friend and I role play that nonsense when we eat out by pretending to be on horrible first dates. Turns out that if you confidently “explain” that a man’s penis actually gets smaller for every partner he has, he might think it true. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 21/02/20 02:24 AM |
| 21 | "No one is going to put up with my son" -- straight from the horse's mouth.I have two sisters, but mom got on us about being ladylike until my sister chanted “vaginas are a handicap, vaginas are a handicap, I have a vagina, therefore, I am challenged.” Mom called her challenged once, but that stopped our gender-norm reminders. Joking can be a pretty solid way to snap people out of norms if you can get it to work. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 11/02/20 04:33 PM |
| 3 | You can already tell what’s in the comment section. “But men get abused too and women are more abusive “ I’m so honestly sick of themAbusers never lose control. They consider certain behaviors acceptable under certain circumstances. Obviously it’s important to control angry reactions to a degree, but abuse isn’t a loss of control; it’s a combination of attitudes and beliefs that place your partner below you in a position where they need to be controlled through abusive acts (in the mind of the abuser). | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/02/20 07:39 PM |
| 7 | The percentage of HVM out of all the male populationYou can’t change a LVM as a partner. You can only help someone like that as a friend (still without being an acting therapist) by pointing out LV behavior. If you’re dating, they can stagnate wherever they are because it was sufficient to initiate a relationship, so there’s no motive to improve. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 10/02/20 06:56 PM |
| 5 | OPEN Q&A THREAD FOR MEN: Why are you shocked at how terrible males are? 😦I agree with your perception, but I disagree with the approach. I’ve always felt that if you want something to improve, you have to address it. Provided you have the ability, have an assembly at a local school with a male speaker or whatever you determine would work in your community. It’s been brought up on this sub so many times, but men will not do a difficult thing if they don’t have to and can pass off the difficulty (See: birth control posts). The issue of men harming women doesn’t appeal … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/20 08:54 PM |
| 8 | OPEN Q&A THREAD FOR MEN: Why are you shocked at how terrible males are? 😦It’s definitely pessimistic, but I don’t believe men are interested in learning uncomfortable things, or fixing them. It’s not excusable, but change to improve quality of life is historically attributed to efforts taken by women. Men don’t seem to take initiative in my experience, when things are going poorly. It’s like they can’t imagine making life better for anyone, including themselves. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/20 07:43 PM |
| 6 | OPEN Q&A THREAD FOR MEN: Why are you shocked at how terrible males are? 😦It was more in response to the surprised men. You are obviously aware of male behavior. It’s not unreasonable to expect people to google stats, but it is unrealistic that they would unprompted. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/20 05:00 PM |
| 49 | OPEN Q&A THREAD FOR MEN: Why are you shocked at how terrible males are? 😦It helps to remember that most abusers are awful to about 1 person at a time, almost exclusively in private, and justify it to themselves. Unless they’re around them acting like their partners are less than human, I’d be surprised if it were obvious to a friend or casual acquaintance. Those assumptions are how we feel safe in the world before something makes it feel unsafe. They’re psychological, though audacious and inaccurate. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 06/02/20 04:19 PM |

| 19 | Honestly. Because it’s bullshit.The idea that some men don’t address emotional difficulties, and then later blame them for inexcusable behavior.

If you feel threatened by this person, consider going to the police or another occupation that deals with this on a personal level, like a therapist. Report your suspicion of this person’s grooming to someone in authority and get out of there. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 27/01/20 02:26 PM |
| 2 | Seeking some advice...But the most important attitude change you need to make is whatever helps you find him repulsive. His behavior hurts you, and that should be enough. You have to think of yourself like you would a sister or friend; you wouldn’t put up with someone doing that to them, and you’re just as valuable a human as they are. Get angry at him because you’re inherently worth caring about. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/01/20 04:49 PM |
| 2 | Seeking some advice...If you have a male relative that could stay with you and keep him away from visiting your house personally, that could help safety-wise. If you’re concerned for your safety, seek out a restraining order. The advice to block in other comments is all good. You need whatever support system, be it therapy or family or friends, that you can go to that isn’t him. He needs to be out of your life altogether, or you will be stuck with him cyclically. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/01/20 04:45 PM |

| 4 | One month after IUD insertion, I'm still having horrible pain. Fuck the lack of male birth control purely for their convenience. You should NEVER have to be the only one who suffers and sacrifices. Fuck that.They didn’t let me watch when I had it removed, but after less than 1 year, you’re unlikely to have one that’s bent or broken, so it should be a pretty quick/easy small incision and pulling it out if it’s like how mine was after a year. It wasn’t a long appointment, but you may be pressured to start another form of birth control afterward. My gyn would not rest until I was on the pill after having my implant removed. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/01/20 04:17 PM |
| 1 | What are your thoughts on guys who put you on a pedestal?It gets uncomfortable in very specific contexts. They might expect you to meet a certain standard of appearance or not talk about certain things without letting on until it happens. One dipstick in particular touched a red spot on my face and asked “what’s this?” like it was unfathomable. He apparently had a crush on me for years, but we never dated because I wasn’t human enough for him to interact with me like one. High school was a trip. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/01/20 05:35 PM |

| 33 | NEVER allow a man around you when you are in a weakened state.“He said she said” is bs. You experienced panic attacks in direct response to his actions. You may have record of phone conversations, at least, indicating how you told him not to come over.

He was stuck on that relationship while pretending to be my friend for about 5 years. We’re no longer friends, but apparently he’s still stuck.
