Help, my job pays well, is super easy, and the people I work with are helpful and kind. Am I being oppressed?
Imagine being mad that youre living life on easy mode. Nothing will ever be enough for this one. She'll get married one day to a husband that provides everything and then view that as pronlematic too.

When your “trauma” is a badge of honor that you feel the need to tell everyone about
When you're conventionally attractive and married to money, but still need sympathy-clout, so you pretend to “own” your trauma.
Being told “yes all men” tends to make guys upset, shocker
Yeah lol! That's literally incel mentality. Grouping one gender and thinking they all act the same is literally what incels do to women!
when have horseshoechads ever been wrong?
Of all the pieces of shit in this comment section, you may be the biggest of them all 🎖️
Why thank you 🙏
Is it fine to say you don't feel safe around blacks because you've been mugged by 'them' before?
People clinging on to your bad terminology but I'm actually interested in hearing the mental gymnastics on why this isn't a double standard.
Because black people, like any race are too diverse for an entire group to be painted with one negative stereotype, especially the ones that are most commonly applied to black people that are a:based on falsehoods 90% of the time, and b:not relevant to the vast majority of black people. Each black person like any person is massively different to another, in terms of gender, SES, age, life experience etc. On the other hand, while they are also a diverse group that cannot be painted as the same entirely, men in their relationships with women have been statistically shown to exhibit certain behaviors. They also can be grouped together generally as most men experience some commonalities in certain life experiences, much more than you would be able to group people by race. This is of course given the power dynamics (e.g men being in general stronger than women and more aggressive due to their hormones) in the world and the gender roles we're ascribed. Therefore, while I disagree with the idea that all men are the same, when all your experiences with them have been tinged with the repercussions of our gender roles and cultural concept of manhood, you can experience patterns of abusive behavior that can make it hard to trust any one man not to be abusive toward you.

My husband takes the kids to the gas station all the time and honestly it drives me crazy. He buys them so much junk food and it's always right before dinner so they ruin their appetite. Or it's like tonight where he did have a dinner planned (make your own pizzas) but then doesn't bother with it after the boys eat giant twix bars and fruit by the foot. I was already mad at him for taking them again, but then he's telling me that the cashier told him he was a good dad. He said that he always sees him in there buying treats for the boys and he's a really good dad. And it's like..... why is it that men do the most basic parenting and people are falling all over him telling him he's a great dad?
If I was in the gas station buying them all that junk I'm sure I'd be judged for it. It fricking sucks. I try so hard to be a good mom but there's so many expectations. I can't keep up. Meanwhile, my husband just shows up for the boys and he's dad of the year. Frick.

With now divorced 2nd husband who's nearly 30 years older
I didn't want kids and didn't think I'd want to get married again after my divorce.
But recently I realized I actually do want to build a life --- and a family --- with someone.
I'm almost 39, and I'm starting to panic about whether my chance to have a child has passed.
I can still picture it. I was 20, sitting on the kitchen countertop with my legs dangling over the cabinets. He was 21, leaning against the stove of the home he hoped we'd share. We'd been dating for nearly two years and were at a standstill.
I was clinging to my dream of moving five hours away to attend the design program at the Art Institute of Seattle. He wanted a simple life with children and home-cooked meals in the little resort town of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where we met in sixth grade.
That day in the kitchen, we decided to stay together, and we each gave up something to do that. I would no longer pursue design school and the big-city life I'd always dreamed of, and he'd forgo having children and a wife who prioritized homemaking. I made it clear to him that I did not see motherhood in my future and that he needed to be OK with that. Two years later, we married.
My now ex-husband wanted kids and a stay-at-home wife
My husband thought I'd change, and I thought I could change for him. I told myself that it was silly to go after my dreams and that I should be content in the pretty mountain town where I grew up.
But I grew resentful when he asked where dinner was or complained that his gym clothes hadn't been washed. I did little to hide my disdain for our small-town life. He was a good and hardworking man, but I don't think I made him feel that way.
We were young, foolish, and sweet, thinking our love would allow us to overcome our differences. We were also very wrong.
Shortly after I turned 30, we divorced. We were both tired of sacrificing the things that were important to us for each other.
I didn't think I'd want to get married again or have kids
I told my friends and family I'd never get married again. I needed independence, a fulfilling career, and space to chart my own course, and I didn't think marriage fit into that vision. I was content to look toward a future without a husband, children, or the trappings of a "traditional" life.
I was also in no hurry to get into a serious relationship after my divorce. I was terrified of repeating my mistakes. Nevertheless, months later I stumbled into one that lasted 7 ½ years.
He was significantly older and wasn't interested in marriage or children, and we were focused on our careers. We expected little of each other aside from fidelity. We took trips, drank nice wine, and stayed out late. Without the expectations or duties of a shared mortgage or a family, we simply enjoyed our time together. When we were apart, we did our own things. Those were great, easy years.
It was an incredibly healing relationship, and, ironically, I started to become the woman my ex-husband had wanted. I enjoyed cooking, cleaning, and caring for someone when it was my choice and when it wasn't asked of me. I'd been so preoccupied with preserving my independence and caring for myself that I hadn't realized how much I could enjoy caring for someone else and allowing them to care for me.
I changed my mind about wanting to build a family with someone
I started to think I might want more than an easy, aimless relationship. I realized I might actually want to build a life from the ground up with someone who wanted the same thing. And while I knew that might take more work, it also felt like the type of connection worth pursuing.
I felt restless, and I couldn't ignore that what I wanted had changed. Though we were technically together, we were living our own lives. That was exactly what I had wanted and needed after my divorce, but autonomy was no longer my top priority. It felt like the relationship had run its course. He's a wonderful man, and we're still close, but we'd entered our relationship without intention or a shared vision of our future.
We broke up shortly before my 37th birthday. Over the following year and a half I dated around for the first time in my life. I broke hearts, had my own heart broken, and did in my late 30s what many people do in their 20s. I didn't know it then, but I was learning what I wanted and needed in a relationship. Ultimately, I want to build a life with another person, not simply join theirs when it's convenient.
I began to feel an incredible urgency to find the relationship and stability to see me through the second half of my life. To my amazement, I began seriously thinking about marriage and children --- I hardly recognized myself.
I also began to feel selfish for spending so much time focusing solely on myself. I went from proudly proclaiming I was too self-centered to be bothered with a family to realizing there was more to life than independence and the pleasures of living for oneself. My very existence started to feel shallow and hollow.
I worry I'll end up alone, but I'm still hopeful
Now, months after that realization and at nearly 39, I feel panicked thinking I'll be a single, childless middle-aged woman. I worry that my youthful looks will fade and that I won't be able to attract the man I want to spend the rest of my life with.
If I sound desperate, it's because I honestly do feel a little desperate. At my age, I know that creating life may not be an option for me. And I worry that men who want a family aren't looking for a woman pushing 40. I get it; I'm no longer the ideal candidate for motherhood, and it's a scary truth. But I still hope to find someone who thinks I'm the ideal partner and create our family together.
I understand the appeal of life without the constraints of marriage or children; for many years I was quite satisfied living that way. I know people can live happy, purpose-driven lives without those things. I just don't believe I'm one of those people anymore. I know now that my purpose lies in having a husband and a family. I'm meant to care for more than myself.
I'm looking for my forever person and hoping he's looking for me, too.

My husband and I went out to a concert in our city. Took an Uber and as soon as we exited the car I noticed a man laying on the sidewalk about 20 feet up from us, against a retaining wall. It was dark but I could clearly see him laying on his back stroking his peepee. Just right there in the night air.
It made me so envious of men and their ability to be so oblivious to their surroundings. We were downtown in a large city at night— to me this means head on a swivel, be alert, and make sure you look alert and not like a target.
So my question is this: What is your inner monologue when out and about? And what is your partners? Are men really oblivious most of the time or did I just get two examples of it in one night as a coincidence?

Australian OnlyFans creator Tasha Paige has revealed she's been slapped with a whopping $176,000 tax bill.
In a firm reminder that sometimes even bad things can get worse, Ms Paige had revealed in July that she had an $86,000 tax bill.
It's since ballooned to $176,000.
"So that's great. I am just going to go cry. Moment of silence, please, for my bank account," she said after the first bill.
After a second review with her accountant, the creator has found out that she now owes more than double.
Once again Ms Paige took to social media to vent about the mammoth bill and said she would "complain" about it - because she can.
"My tax bill is actually $150,000 for the last 12 months... not including the $26,000 I need to pay on top of that for GST because apparently my body is an object -- that's why I have to pay GST," she said.
Ms Paige said that she was particularly upset by the bill because she didn't feel her industry as a s*x worker is respected enough by the government.
“The fact that that money is going to a government that doesn't even recognise s*x work as real work,” she vented.
Ms Paige also stated that the money she was paying probably wasn't going to anything she actually “supported”.
“If I don't laugh, I'll cry,” she said.
The creator also added that despite her horror, she was prepared for the bill, and she was certain there wasn't an error.
“My accountant has cross-checked everything,” she promised.
Her tax time TikTok has now received more than 60,000 views, but interestingly, people are less sympathetic in the comments and more interested in how much she's earning from the OnlyFans platform to be able to owe that much cash in tax.
“Wait... how much did you make babe? That has to be at least a $300,000 pay packet,” someone declared.
“You're making bank, girl. You're inspirational, honestly,” another raved.
“Wow, man, you must be getting by some good money,” another claimed.
Ms Paige's situation is an extreme example but there are a lot of Aussies facing tax debts this year because of the end of the low-and-middle income tax offset.
It was introduced as a temporary measure in the 2018/19 federal budget, the offset meant those earning between $37,000 and $126,000 were eligible for a tax cut of up $1500.
Alison Banney, money expert at Finder, said the current economic situation meant the reliance on tax returns had never been higher.
"Whether it's to pay back debt, boost their savings, or help with everyday expenses, millions of Australians are relying on a refund," she told news.com.au.
"However, with the removal of the Low and Middle-Income Tax Offset (LMITO) this year, lots of Australians will likely get less money back in their tax return this year compared to the last two years."
Ms Banney also revealed it wasn't a completely bad thing not to get money back at tax time.
“If you get no money back, it just means that you've paid the correct amount of tax throughout the year,” she explained.
“Getting money back means that you've actually paid more tax than you needed to throughout the year. When you think about it, you've essentially lent your money to the ATO, and now they're giving it back to you without paying any interest on the loan.
“Instead, that money could have been put to better use by, for example, keeping it in a high-interest savings account and earning interest on it all year.”

Why are some men like this?
This Friday I went on a date with a guy my friend set me up with. The date was good-ish but I do not see a future here. I do not think I can sit through another date with him talking about crypto. But I also do not want to be rude. After the date he asked me if we could go back to his place. I told him no. He kept insisting that it will be fun. He got mad and asked to pay him back his 25 dollars (the whole meal costed 50). He said if he is not getting s*x tonight then he doesn't want to waste his money. So, it is only fair if I pay my half back. I told him I am not a fricking prostitute that you can buy for 50 dollars. Even they cost more than that. And being the petty person that I am I paid him 30 and told him 5 dollars are the tips.
Later when I arrived home, he messaged on Instagram he said that he wants to advise me that if I do not want to put out then I shouldn't even go on dates and waste a guy's money. That he is a nice guy and that women do not appreciate nice guys. And he told me I will "hit the wall" soon and I will regret rejecting a good guy like him. I obviously blocked him and told my friend to not set me up with clowns like this. This guy is 29, almost 30 and still acts like a child. I thought these clowns existed in memes. Never thought I would encounter one in real life.
Edit: People who are calling me female version of an incel, please stop. I do not hate men. I dislike a certain portion of men who behave like this. Literally said "some" men. I do not think majority of men are like this.
What say you, wise dramneurodivergents? Is it really true that I should look for prostitutes in the >$50 price range? Seems excessive, but this post was widely upmarseyd.

It is indescribable how worse it feels to live in Germany during such a grim time. I cannot walk outside, hear the language, speak to a German without feeling dehumanized. The grimacing stares from blue eyes haunt me. Eyes complicit in the murder of my people.
