I’m watching it now because of this post and because I love her as an actress. But I’m wondering why she put her entire rape scene halfway thru the first episode?? I know it’s out there publicly in the music video so the only reason I can think of is that so people don’t go search it up and give M.M. profit. I actually don’t know how it’s legal that the music video is still up or for it to be shown in the documentary

Why are they even seeking a ring anymore, wouldn’t you just resign to “I don’t believe in marriage” at that point? Terrifying. If they eventually get married does it even feel as good anymore? I’d be embarrassed to tell family.

It’s been a few years now and I’ll say that desire does fade and doesn’t eat at you as much. All I was told is that “it won’t work” by everyone on Reddit, family, friends, blah blah. Part of me regrets not trying. The more society tells us “it won’t work” the less it will continue to be reported. Like, I would have done it had I not been influenced by people telling me not to. You have the desire for this justice for a reason. And it’s worth it. It may not turn out how you want it to, but IMO, i…

Yk what’s sad, they’re always posting about stupid situations where the woman is literally just expressing that she’s upset and asking him not to do something, which if he said sorry, he should have agreed with. And they make it into a Reddit post. Like have some empathy and just don’t call your gf a hoe. Problem solved. Why is it so hard for you dude.

She didn’t say men can’t have preferences… How is preferring a tall man hypocritical? A man preferring a smaller or bigger woman has nothing to do with me unless they’re trying to date me and make me smaller or bigger. So what’s your point with that comment

THANK YOUUUUU. Taking care of yourself is not the same as performative femininity! Lots of women don’t understand that because they’ve been taught that performative femininity IS ‘taking care of yourself’ and to not participate is to ‘let yourself go’. Anyway. Same for men. I really don’t need someone gorgeous I’d just like someone I find attractive who takes care of themselves so ideally we could live a long life together.

I hate breaking up. I’d love if they would just grow balls and grow up but they just don’t. They perpetuate the cycle and drain years from us with giving nothing in return. Once an LVM always an LVM.

Omg the leg hair blowing in the breeze is so true. I can feel more of my body when I move too, feel my legs more when I walk around lol. It’s kind of grounding in a way 😊 I think about that too. If I put all the time, money, and effort I spend on my looks into my online business for example... it would be drastically different. Women would have so much more free time even if not dedicated to a specific hobby or project. It’s a lovely thought

Bill Gates has always been LVM bc imo a lack of empathy = LVM. Smart and rich isn’t all it takes, I’d like to have a heart inside my man if that’s possible!! But that’s sad. I feel for her.

Oh I agree they love to bring women down with them. They refuse to change, project themselves onto others, have zero self-reflection, and will somehow make you the problem. They would love to palpably turn you into something they can hate with a reason, and it’s also a power thing. It’s actually crazy how dark & nasty seemingly nice men can be, though my impression of ‘nice’ has changed a lot since uncovering some of their manipulation tactics.

No. I don’t think you should spend your money, or actually change anything. It was more like a follow up question, kinda rhetorical, bc I’m assuming posture isn’t the only reason you wear them. Like???? Maybe you should examine your own internalized misogyny and insecurity too. My post is literally not at any specific individual and I’m not asking anyone to change what they do. At all!!!

It is definitely different. Women are expected to work out too. Women are expected to do all that men do for physical beauty, and then much much more- makeup is only one piece of it. Working out isn’t the same as wearing makeup either, even if someone chooses to do it for aesthetic reasons rather than wanting to live a healthy and long life. It’s kinda like saying, well men have to eat healthy like us too if they want x y z. It’s beyond basic health and hygiene such as brushing teeth, showering,…

Ok I understand but I don’t see how shaving your legs is art. Not saying you shave, but like 95% of women do. I wouldn’t count dyeing your hair as art either for ex., unless you’ve really done something...like...artistic. Know what I mean? Your personal experience is valid and so are the women who simply can’t turn these expectations into hobbies yet are forced to still paint their nails and wear makeup to be socially accepted or held in high regard. The fact that we are expected to is a problem…

Patriarchal standards are still present in a room full of modern day women & most women participate in upholding them (usually not aware of it and not solely dependent on a man’s presence). It is normal to want to look presentable. Unfortunately makeup has become a REQUIREMENT for specifically women to look presentable to many people. Women who don’t wear makeup suffer more in the workplace because of it and are often paid less. It’s just messed up

And that’s appropriate and part of healthy parenting imo. Encouraging children to abide by some or many social norms makes a lot of sense and will help them in the world and in life, some social norms suck but we do them to ensure good social standing and build rapport.

Personal hygiene is done for personal reasons and not just social yet personal hygiene is still part of social exchange even if that’s not it’s purpose. You will be socially accepted or rejected based on personal hygiene, which is healthy for humans to do this. Being hygienic isn’t the same as beauty regimens and grooming for beauty purposes, so I’m not talking about simple personal hygiene such as bathing and brushing teeth. Im talking about how beauty regimens have literally become considered …

I never have another soul in my bedroom but the idea of someone seeing it and thinking highly of the decor is very satisfying for me.

I’m not speaking on it in a healthy form, like makeup artists who decorate themselves. I’m talking about the unhealthy form of it and it’s roots, which the other 95% of women have to live under for most of their lives. We’re social creatures so most of what we do could swing back to ‘for others’ but this expectation is placed specifically on WOMEN and it’s damaging. It is now viewed as being ‘well mannered’ (well dressed, pleasant makeup, often excess grooming to maintain a certain standard of h…

Yes I agree. I believe that the way we personally experience femininity is greatly impacted by culture and society, though, which is what I’m trying to grapple with.

I'm curious about women throughout history. Like before male domination was a thing. I think humans have often dressed themselves up and, with mirrors, wanted to look nice. Jewelry has been around forever. Art, making pretty pottery or clothing, has been around forever. A desire for beauty in ones life is not a poor value to have. I'm trying to not judge myself for wanting to be pretty. I'm trying not to judge men who put extra effort into their appearance either (many men could literally be 'pr…

True girl. It's in your best interest to just leave that type of man, the passive one allowing you to emasculate him. He will never step up if he hasn't yet. He will resent you for taking care of him yet he won't leave his life of childhood comfort. It's a lose-lose situation for both parties. They're best left alone permanently. Find someone who joyfully provides for you however he can.

Annoying how she's complaining about her children possibly not gifting her anything. I think if her husband made Christmas special for her she wouldn't care about gifts from kids, but maybe not idk.

The men who talk badly about gold diggers are the ones who aren't being used for their money. They don't like gold diggers bc the gold diggers aren't into them. Like I so rarely hear stories about men shoveling out their money to their s/o for her to not care about him at all and leave him for no reason. Only in extreme examples like 90 day fiance or in camgirl onlyfans situations where they have to pay for the fake relationship in the first place.

They don't stop even if you verbally tell them to. The type of men that ignore your physical actions are mostly the same type to ignore your words too. A man stomping around & huffing... obviously he's angry. A woman pushing you off, acting nervous or despondent, avoiding eye contact... she's clearly not into it. If they can't read obvious body language they have some type of serious issue. But they do understand, they just know that if they keep trying they can coerce the woman into giving in. …

It's what it always is. Serve to be served. They go overboard because they want to be special to someone. Standards for men aren't so important when you're a servant, usually the servant is the one being judged on what they bring to the table. So they work work work to get the approval of being picked. Gamers or not, they'll serve their LVM no matter what flavor of LV he is. The real question is why are so many LVM gamers?!?! I guess video games have replaced watching tv for a lot of people.

I'm part of the grey area that gets turned on by head. Giving and receiving, man or woman. I don't see the self-degrading trap of receiving great head from a man then returning it while enjoying yourself all the way through. You can be used for blowjobs while getting nothing in return, same as how you can be used for sex by someone who doesn't care about your pleasure.

Yup. Like fight or flight is a thing!!!! I've gone into fight before because flight was not an option. Proud of you for defending yourself by the way, although I'm sorry you had to experience it in the first place. Also, I found out he specifically talked to his friend about burning Amber's body then having sex with her corpse to make sure she's dead. But he later said he was just mad because she was on his case about his substance abuse.

Men who think like this are men who willingly cross boundaries. No woman has had consensual sex and claimed afterwards that it was rape. Like I'm not going to include the 0.001% who maybe have done that. If anything she was 1. Uncomfortable from the start or 2. Displayed discomfort during, neither of which you responded to. Likely ignored it and continued. There are women who freeze up. Most of these men think they wouldn't rape someone but they're the same men to keep going if a woman changes h…

Try to make a goal to involve more physical sensation than mental stimulation. It's how you can recondition yourself out of watching porn too, but I think it's a healthier attitude to have towards masturbation in general. Focus on the sensations of pleasure rather than scenarios or thoughts of people. It takes practice. It's helped me be a bit more grounded in my body and imo it's kind of freeing to cum without restriction to certain thoughts

Not everyone needs immediate bang pow sex, or prefers to have sex that way.

I'm sure my ex will be showing off his new gf soon enough, I won't be there to see it though. You are attached to something but not him. Maybe your lost hope, your plans, the person you thought he was, but not him. He is a hurtful and cruel person who didn't respect or care for you. He is not worth your respect or care

Idk I'd personally make him feel kind of bad, like "oh i found someone else" Lol. That's just my petty ass though. Don't give him the chance to explain himself or try to talk you into staying (I'm almost certain he would). You're right to block him but definitely let him know it's over. Someone else here mentioned not to tell him about the icloud because it will just make him sneakier towards his next victim, I agree!

I guess if I had all that, and was still single, I would still look at myself and genuinely ask myself what's wrong with me or am I trying to date the right people. You listed multiple ways that, upon further reflection, I'd be horrified to discover about myself AND WOULD GO TO THERAPY. By myself. Wouldn't unload it embarrassingly onto some dude and ask him "why don't guys like me :'(" but he thinks the problem is other women and wants that validation. He doesn't want to confront himself, you ca…

My LVM moved out last week. Just got done crying again lol. It's sad. I can't wait to be done feeling this way but I'm trying not to rush it, it's just kind of agonizing for me. I hope she chills out and can come to her senses and just be a friend to you. If not, you do have us here. I know we'll come out stronger once we get to the other side of this.

He made you stay when you walked in on him? If you did not appear enthusiastic and 'into it' I would consider that sexually abusive. Even if he didn't know about your trauma. These men are pornsick. It has nothing to do with you, he is a porn addict. If not a porn addict... a sex addict, or someone who enjoys making another person sexually uncomfortable (a predator), etc, there is nothing good about a man having a lack of sexual control. This can't be good for your mental health. EMDR works most…

After all that abuse then they're done with you because you're half the person you were.

Getting off to porn multiple times a day sounds like a porn addiction rather than a high sex drive. He has fetishized a "type" of woman, before he met you, you're meeting the fetish criteria. When he watches porn those women are meeting the preexisting fetish criteria. That's just my take.
