Women's idea of romance is cheating

Thread full of very sane takes.

All the people who follow this will eventually die out, their numbers dwindle.

All the people who don't or can't follow this will continue to procreate and their numbers continue to grow, following the cultural upbringing of the people who raised them.

So what? Bloodlines? That's Nazi shit

By focusing on political semantics, you end up ignoring the key part of my argument, that we will eventually die while the bad guys keep reproducing if we all follow OP's advice.

That's not how reproduction works. Children aren't carbon copies of their parents, and are capable of learning. Idiocracy isn't real, and the notion of heredity you're talking about is fiction. Your entire comment is false, because it's a slippery slope argument that is itself based on false premises.

And yes, a eugenics-forward idea of "favorable" "bloodlines" "dying out" is absolutely Nazi shit. Like that's a huge proportion of their logic. It's not bringing politics into the conversation to point out the fact that caring about correct genetics is a fascistic mindset.

And that doesn't even begin to touch the fact that "bloodlines" have nothing to do with people's internal attitudes or political beliefs as adults.

Lmao. "The bad guys?" Be serious.

Telling other women what to do with their bodies and sacrifice their own dreams for your misguided cause…I just know a white woman wrote this 🙄

Wholeheartedly agree, get sterilized while you still can!

We could end abortion now if we spayed and neutered all newborn human infants.

100% behind this idea. Vascectomy, my friends is a simple and quick proceedure. Men encourage other men to get this done.

how about white women just stop reproducing bc tbh the issue here is white people ngl. Some of us reproduce bc it's resistance to genocide and erasure… that's being done by white people

Get your stash of plan b ready. The male feminists will be coming out in droves. Concealed carry wouldn't hurt either. Just get good firearms training and stay current.

Isn't there a method to choose for girls? Give them no sons, except transgender ones.

Everything is terrible. Every day they sign a law that works at ripping my kid's futures away. The headlines at my 'news hour' are gut-wrenching at best.

And yet, I'm supposed to just go on as if nothing is happening?

Like what the frick?

What the actual frick?

I keep asking my husband to commiserate with me, but he's a white male, and while I think he cares, he just acts like he doesn't care? I get 2 seconds and he's back laughing at his screen. Like he's somehow helpless in making decisions to keep our kids safe?

Everything isn't fine, but I have to hold it together for my little people who don't need to stress over the state of things. But I'm barely making it, so my temper is short, and I know they see that I'm just annoyed constantly.

And don't fricking tell me to breathe.

Breathing doesn't fricking solve this shit. Ignoring it makes shit worse.

This is not okay, and my reaction is normal. Why are we not making this reaction normal?

Why do we have to pretend it's fine?

epilogue: lol a few top level comments seething that I don't even post there and am not a woman got deleted and banned and someone in the jannie response got banned too

All the karma I lost on the nms sub earlier trying to explain that Elon is a neurodivergent African American immigrant has been recouped too and I am safe from a shadowbanning

I've been a US Government employee for almost 25 years. We had our "Return to Office" meeting today. They have even gotten rid of episodic/situational telework. I have two kids in braces and one of them is in counseling twice a month. I was hoping they would still let us work partial days off but they aren't. I'm going to have to take a full day off every time one of them has an appointment. I don't know how I'm going to do this. I'm also in the process of getting divorced and I can't even get their dad to do the dishes so he's not going to help just to punish me.

The comments:

By looking at your post history and I quote " I have always been a fiscal conservative" so you can see how you created this problem no? What do you expect us to do about it ?

I didn't vote for Trump if that is what you're asserting. I have never voted for a Republican actually. I support policies that make sense. Not talking out of both sides of your head. One side says "save money" and the other side says "and we will rent more office space or pay for people to relocate if we have to just to make people come in".

Trump is the cumination of years of work done by Republicans to undermine our democracy, from gerrymandering districts to the push for anti abortion rights that started over 40 yrs ago just because you didn't vote for one Republican doesn't mean you didn't help put him in the white house. And now you come to us whining about your problems. I for one do not feel a bit sorry for you. You have been anti government for most of your life while sucking at the government tit for the last 25 yrs. About time you found out what side your bread was buttered on.

Ooooo looks like the leopards are eating well here

These reddittors are so annoying, I almost feel bad for the OP.

Why aren't there more women @$$@$!n$

Silver Lining folks. Just to clarify, I am a veteran, was a GS-8 for 3 years. I know work for the State. There will be a revolution. There will be a mounted push back. Hang in there. Find good leadership in the shadows and STAY TOGETHER!

I'm so sorry. The Nazis are literally in charge now.

The purpose of this is to get federal employees to quit just know that. They're trying to make this a very difficult situation

(In particular, to get women to quit)

This is it right here. Once again women will be forced to decide between economic leverage and their children.

Christo-fascism requires strict gender roles/hierarchy. We'll see a lot more of this kind of sh%t over the next four years.

Preach. It's too often women who have to sacrifice their careers for their families.

yep, my male coworkers would rush off to happy hour to brownnose the bosses while my female coworkers rushed home to get their kids from daycare. guess who gets considered for the promotions?

I don't get it, but everyone is talking about being white and apologizing in this thread.

Whoever said this was ZCC 2.0 was spot on.

I'm an old, white, fat lady who can take a punch. I will happily go to the mat for any POC.

This is absolutely true. The ick I feel when people say that others will be the first victims so there is no need to worry. Those people simply aren't trustworthy.

This happened over and over again during Covid to those of us with chronic illness and disabilities (and still is happening, because Covid hasn't gone anywhere). Every time I hear "but they had an underlying condition", I feel sick about the state of our society.

"Who cares if the fat and sick die, I just want normal back."

Hear ya. That murdered any remaining faith I had in the goodness of humans en masse. The eugenics of it all was such fun... when you're one of the people the healthy are perfectly fine with dying for their "back to normal." At least now I don't get cursed out for wearing a mask. That stage was so fricking lovely, worrying about a "normal/healthy" butthole screaming at me or trying to tear my mask off me. Now I'm just a freak, not apparently a threat.

Still dealing with the cognitive damage of my single covid infection, gonna mask forever. {sighs}

White lady with nothing to add. Just providing engagement to help with visibility.

As a white person who passes for Latinx because of my background, I totally agree with you. Resistance should be done first by the people who are least likely to suffer for it.

Being a person of color or speaker of another language than English when arrested has far more potential for harm than it does for white, English speaking people in similar circumstances.

Carry your ID and do what it takes to be safe, OP.

Let those of us who've had an easier time in the past step up now and show we're just as tough, just as principled, just as dedicated to real justice as those who've had to fight for every tiny bit of it in the past.

The other thing I've been doing for a long while, as a WW/white w*man is make sure I am squeaky clean. I have enormous privilege, I want to make sure I don't compromise this privilege by doing something fricking stupid and putting an easy target on my back. I prep because I don't want to take resources at something like the food bank from someone who does not have the space or privilege to prep. I prep so if I need to quickly house someone, it all goes a smoothly as possible. I have everything in my life in order, down to getting a stupid license for my dog from the city so there's no excuse to come knocking on my door. Being combative for the sake of being combative is not sticking it to the man.

All of this!

I'm middle aged, overweight and white. I have so much privilege pushing back and speaking up that many others do not.

Similar here - all but two of my marginalized identities (women, plus-sided) are invisible, so I can pass in spaces and leverage my privilege to do so in many ways others can't.

Yes, absolutely, some of my marginalized identities are being explicitly targeted and survival for me means I have to be really careful about how I engage. But in no way is it anything like the experience of a woman of color being confronted by law enforcement or even just trying to exist in the vicinity of a vindictive Karen.

I too am middle aged, white and plus sized. 😂 Just mentioning for support. Solidarity for the fatties.

I only included it cause we are basically invisible. Lol

Sometime I browse /r/random and it brings me to subs and posts I'd never see.

FWIW I'm a white guy, born and raised in Minnesota, transplanted to Texas 10 years ago.

Anyone is more exposed while driving than at work or at home. Your best defense is to not be stalled or pulled over for any reason.

Make sure simple things like your tires, serpentine belt, radiator, battery are in good condition.

Make sure all your headlights, turn signals, brake lights are working.

Make sure your inspection, registration, insurance, license are all up to date.

The goal is to not break down due to simple maintenance or to be pulled over for simple legal reasons.

Should that happen, the goal is to not give anyone additional reason to detain you, meaning current insurance, registration, license, etc.

The goal is to be invisible, at a stoplight while they run your plate (and yes that's totally legal) or try to find a reason to stop you. The secondary goal once stopped is to have everything current, accurate and within easy reach.

Be safe out there, be smart, be invisible, be current and be prepared.

White lady here. First of all, I've always hated it when folks say, "I don't see color." That's bullshit. The beautiful variety of skin hues is what makes people beautiful.

2nd, agree a thousand percent. Don't comply in advance…. But only IF you have the privilege to do so safely. Talking about my fellow pale people, and the maximum privileged, white dude, and even more, those burly dudes who you'd expect to be on the side of the Schmazis.

I'm white and I agree with you 100%. If I were any other race, you best believe I'd be carrying my papers around, too.

I have pulled all of our papers together and we are white. You just don't know what's coming.

I understand what you are saying completely. To be honest, as an older white woman, there is almost zero chance that I'll ever even be asked to prove my citizenship. It's easy for me to say I won't comply when I'm never going to be asked to.

I'm a white transgender man, I've been on hrt long enough to masculinize my face and deepen my voice and so far I've used it multiple times to get a certain type of man to back the heck off my fem friends... I am not the gay avenger but I heartily approve of his methods because nothing makes a cis man back up like being aggressively dry humped with a bulge

This was so well said, thank you.

I'm white so I know I have privilege, but I didn't fully understand it until someone kindly sat down with me and just let me ask as many questions as I needed with zero judgment on my lack of perspective. Needless to say I learned a lot that day, and I made a wonderful friend.

I am 46, white AF and more attached to women's freedom than simply being alive so I'm going to full Boudicca when shit really hits the fan. If I got pulled over for speeding tomorrow, yes of course I'm going to comply but when they start telling us we cannot work and should be home pregnant and obeying the husband they've assigned us, I'm going out swinging and taking as many of the bigoted male feminist fricks with me as I can. So I wholeheartedly agree, if compliance keeps you safe right now, absolutely comply but keep your eyes on them always and know when it's time to take the gloves off. I don't see this as staying as good (it's fricking terrible right now but I digress) as it is now and only getting progressively worse daily. At some point, compliance will be giving up and letting them win.

I had a white woman social justice warrior moment after I saw Elon do the bad thing. I needed to read this. Thank you.

Thank you for this. As a member of the trans community (though I'm white), I hate when I'm told to take a stand as if it might not literally kill me

White cis-het male here. I lurk here so that I can be aware of the concerns of a very important demographic. Frankly I think women are not only going to be vital for survival and rebuilding, they've got the social skills and awareness that are going to be more essential than a lot of what are traditional male tough guy traits. The more I've been prepping over that last couple of decades, I've realized that all the material hoarding means nothing if you can't build community also. And, at least in the society I live in, there is clearly one gender that excels more at the subtle aspects of community building. Most male preppers focus on individualism, and I think that's going to bite them in the end. I'm learning from y'all and considering the best way to prep with my significant other, I hope men are welcome to do that here.

This is important. As a white woman im so nice to women of color. I respect you guys so much. You are truly beautiful, and I'm so sorry you have to deal with things.

I willingly (though, I wouldn't have been able to live otherwise) gave up my cis male privilege. I still have that white privilege. I'm so fricking terrified.

I don't have anything to add.

I completely get what you are saying. Maybe I, a white woman who looks and sounds American, can get away with refusing to show "papers." But I work with two young women from Puerto Rico and I have advised them to save themselves grief and trauma by carrying their passports at all times. They are here legally, but that won't stop racists from harming them. I am terrified for myself and my daughter, but I also see that there are levels of privilege here. Principles don't matter if someone is dead or being deported to a place that isn't their home.

Who's June?

Handmaid's tale reference. Kinda like how most people see themselves as John Wick, Superman or any other main character who is seemingly indestructible.

I've noticed a lot of people being more comfortable being hateful. I'm around women more so I notice it more in women.

Yup. People are way more comfortable being antisocial and nasty.

As for pickup truck drivers—most of them are not psychologically fit to be on the road.

I've noticed an insane amount of reckless and aggressive driving since covid. Doesn't seem to matter if the driver is male or female, old or young, new car or old car, if my husband is driving or if I am, or even the location. Definitely more people tailgating me, aggressively speeding and weaving through traffic, and just blatantly running red lights.

I think lots of people got more aggressive, impatient, and angry after covid lockdowns ended. I can imagine that a lot of those same people are comfortable now with getting even more aggressive, especially those men against women.

There is research about Covid related brain damage and how it might help explain some of the increase in bad driving and aggression. It's not the only reason, but it is something that many people won't think about, but there is research about this and some warnings about driver performance after Covid emerged.

And yet, despite all of this, the Academy is showering the film with nominations. It's disheartening to see how -actual- Mexican films, with authenticity and cultural accuracy, don't receive this level of recognition. Instead, we get a film that diminishes the importance of language and cultural representation, all for the sake of style over substance. Imaging making an Italian language movie where Brad Pitt keeps his Italian in "Inglorious Basterds" not as a comedy but as a serious drama, that was this movie. A joke.

TwoX is in shambles now that the amendment for free federally funded elective abortions will be enforced.

With the orange dictator in control, it's probably only a matter of time when The Handmaid's Tale becomes a reality! 😬

I knew deep down, when he would never give me a response when I have tried engaging him in discussions about women's rights and everything else Trump and his cult have done, that he felt this way. How can he think this, after everything I've talked to him about with abortion bans (we have young girls), Trump's stance on climate change, Project 2025, etc.

I wish I were financially independent. I made the idiotic mistake of taking a break on my career. I work part-time and can work more next year.

I really want out. I just don't know how

From the comments:

I made a similar post yesterday and just spent an hour in my therapist's office crying because it's finally hitting me that my husband, my partner, would rather support Nazis than put his pride aside for one fricking second and admit he was wrong. And now I have to draw a line in the sand, because NAZIS, and he has forced me into this position where I either have to divorce him, or knowingly stay married to a Nazi sympathizer. And quite frankly I hate him for it

"I don't know, Trump really doesn't seem that bad"

"My therapist that I spend your money on agrees with me! You're literally at Nazi!"

I'm sorry for you and your girls. They will know their father stood by while their rights were decimated and he will have to live with that. Not that any of these men are capable of self reflection.

Most sane BreakingMom poster.

This election proved just how much men hate women. I'm not surprised at all, but I'm still a bit disappointed

i'm so sorry. men are so stubborn and entitled. they'd rather be a fascist than be proved wrong. i hope that in time he comes to his own conclusion that trump is absolutely evil and equally i hope that you find financial freedom soon. ❤️

"ur a fascist if you don't agree with me"

Solidarity. I can't leave right now either. I've really had my eyes opened by his viewpoint the last few days. I can't even talk to him about politics without it becoming a screaming match. He constant asks for sources and "where did you see that at? You're only seeing one side and well at my work women this and women that...

Trump is a Nazi!

: Source!? Do you have a SOURCE for that?!?

You're all about women's rights but what actually have they taken away from you that changes your day to day life" oh he also is a freakin racist. He 100% proved that on MLK day by saying "oh it's (person who assassinated MLK day)" and I was like WHAT? He goes, "what you never heard it called that before? Everyone I know calls it that" I was dumbfounded. I was like why because you're a racist who is surrounded by other racists??? What the heckkkkk.

We have a daughter. I just can't do this for the next 4 years and who only knows how long after. I start therapy soon. I feel like the world is going to heck and I don't know what to do about it. I'm so scared for my child.

"I TOLD YOU!"

https://archive.org/details/youtube-LhKRBDjdM_U

tl;dr: Blake Lively () claimed that that Justin Baldoni sexually harassed her while filming a dance scene by dragging his lips down her neck and telling her 'it smells so good'. In her complaint filed last month she insisted nobody overheard the comment because the romantic montage was silent and the microphones were switched off. In fact, the microphones were on and the tapes makes clear the comment about her smelling so good was in response to Lively talking about her spray tan.

It's "their job" to be intimate when it's what they signed up for, but at the same time, it's "the job" of the director (and others) to facilitate that by creating a comfortable and safe environment. The little bit of script that was included at the beginning of the video didn't mention kissing at all. Actors are human beings, acting is an emotional process, actors on a studio film set are also workers with rights that deserve basic respect (like not being intimately touched by their boss in a way that they didn't agree to and makes them feel unsafe).

It's a kiss in a romance movie. She didn't sign up for a Disney movie and get asked to spread her holes for the camera.

The thing that gets me is that he asked consent about putting mouths near each other, but didn't get consent to nuzzle her neck. Isn't she allowed to be uncomfortable about that?

He didn't get consent to look in her general direction! Hang that man!

Is it normal for "evidence" to be released like this? I mean, shouldn't this wait for court?

It's the Depp playbook and you can tell he has the same PR smear team.

Noooooo you can't just disprove the accusations we made in public by making the evidence public NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
