This has existed on places like 4chan since I was a middle schooler, and I'm in my 30s today. The alt-right was actually a targeted psyuop by 4chan (and others, like Bannon's bunch of cronies) to weaponize disaffected white g*mers. It sounds insane, but stuff like G*merGate absolutely sparked the alt-right of today.

>G*merGate in [current year]

lmao

I don't know if it's only Gen Z males, but recently a Gen Z sub popped up in my Reddit feed; it was about the age range the users were attracted to.

I was shocked to see that multiple teen boys wrote that they only plan to settle down in their late 30/40s and only with a girl in her 20s because that's when they're fertile and can give birth to their kids. These comments made me vomit internally and feel bad for every Gen Z and Gen Alpha girl. It makes me scared of what kind of a world my potential daughter might live.

Also, there was a similar question on AskMen recently and many young men under 30/25 shared these sentiments and reduced women to an object meant to be youthful, fertile, and provide them with offspring.

I don't say there aren't men like this in my generation, but I didn't encounter many backwards-thinking Millennials. It seems like something went wrong in the past few years, and it had a huge impact on Gen Z males.

genocide

Even if it's trolling, trolling is worse than real hate.... Like, if you make the world cope with another Nazi because you're a Nazi, that's unfortunate, but it's what you are and believe. If you don't think that stuff but subject the world to Nazi crap it just to laugh at the suffering it causes, that's fricking HORRIBLE

>trolling is worse than real hate

reddit foids lmao

I’m a Gen Z trans woman and I almost fell down the alt-right pipeline when I was in middle/high school. It’s a terrifying thing but i see how it happens. These boys see women and queer people getting equal treatment now and feel like they are being treated as less than or forgotten about or whatever. Like they’re “not special too”. They are lonely. They don’t have partners and feel rejected by society.

I think the biggest thing is talk to these boys when they’re young. Treat them with respect as you would anyone but prove their views are wrong when they start to come up. One of the biggest things that stopped me from continuing to be an antifeminist shithead was people reacting with disgust when I said I was one. Also, just meeting women and queer people and being friendly with them and realizing they weren’t at all like what I was told they were like. Turned out I had been lied to and I was basing my hate and distrust on false stereotypes and false representations.

chud to train pipeline proven real once again

Also trans, I can’t relate (I was a feminist and ally even before my transition, although my understanding of the topics now is much deeper) but the idea that it could have happened is scary. I think LGBTQ+ people are at special risk of this as a means of suppression of their feelings - for a trans woman, this can be the ultimate act to suppress gender Dysphoria. Then it can turn into a “if I can’t have it, no one can” situation. I’ve heard too many stories of trans people who did go down this pipeline and became raging transphobes and actively hurt other trans people and hurt LGBTQ+ people and women in general before realizing that it was all to suppress who they really were.

taking responsibility for one's actions challenge [IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE]

this is the original twox thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/16hll0e/im_unsure_if_i_should_tell_my_boyfriend_this?sort=controversial

even that thread is not that supportive of her

I don't see anything wrong. She didn't cheat on him. And she told him the truth. He has a right to not want to date her. Seems like they both behaved reasonably.

I mean she acted irresponsibly if her attention was to keep that guy. She couldn't close the shop down for 2 months while scouting a potential life partner? Seriously?

Personally that wouldn't bother me.

Technically if they weren't exclusive, she wasn't cheating. Was it implied at any point?

To me if neither party declared themselves to be exclusive I don't really see what the issue is here. Non-exclusivity to me means you're able to meet up with other people for a date, and yes, to frick your friend with benefits. I would presume the other person is doing the same, and if they aren't that's their prerogative. Once you're exclusive, if not once the relationship starts to get more serious, people tend to cut off the fwb and stop casually seeing other people.

You don't have to declare normality

And how is normality being defined? Seems like casual dating is now practically married levels of exclusivity.

>I wanted to build slowly with this man

that doesn't really sound like casual dating

I really don't get this "exclusive" nonsense? is it a particularly American thing or am I just too old?

I would never tell someone I'm going exclusive with them because I would always be exclusive with them. If I'm dating someone then I'm dating just that one person, I'm not at a sampling smorgasbord, trying everything all at once. that's just being slutty, whatever your gender is...

From the point of asking someone out and going on a first date to the point where we agree that we're not a thing, I would automatically and only be with that one person... is that not reasonable?

Slut shaming bs aside, that's all fine and dandy. Your experience does not correlate with a vast majority of adults. You're in an exclusive relationship with someone the moment you meet them for the first time? If someone said that to me at one point a first date I would leave immediately. Creep behavior

All The Men I believe to be my friends want to sleep with me.

So, I'd originally tried to post this on /r/AmItheAsshole, BUT it doesn't fit guidelines. I figured I would try it here, as I'm sure a lot of XXC can relate. I know it sounds ridiculous but I really cannot tell. That's why I need an objective opinion if I'm the problem here.

I'm a 25F social party type, happily single and doing my thing. I have a lot of male friends I met through the industry I work in that I hang out with and see almost daily. While I'm a natural flirt because of the industry, I keep my s*x life(which has slowed SIGNIFICANTLY since my early 20's) private and out of the same social circle I leave my day-to-day in.

I have a few male friends who I love dearly. We go out and see movies, to dinner, etc., and I've always enjoyed their company platonically. Since I'm single, I don't mind jumping on a homie's back or letting them hold doors open for me, a little soft flirting; but I've always felt like generally, it was a platonic agreement. Split bills, wingmanning eachother, etc. I've always stayed vocal about my actual crushes, implying that I respectfully don't have romantic feelings for my male friends.

I stayed over at one of my male friends' house after drinking (we were both super drunk) and he tried to make a sexual move on me, and I admitted to him I wasn't interested in having s*x with him. Frustrated, he sighed and said, "You'll have s*x with (the name of my crush), but not with me?" The rest of the night I sobered up and got a little paranoid.

This has happened a few times now with men who allow me to lean on them (taking me to the beach, helping me lift furniture, etc) even though I always keep the mood goofy and platonic, and I don't understand why me hanging out with guys isn't how it is with girls. Even though I'm sexually attracted women, I don't expect to sleep with women when I get too close to them; I see them as friends when they are just friends.

But my male friends seem to get frustrated that I'm around them but not opening up sexually. I don't know if it's selfish for me to be so close to straight men that I don't want to sleep with, but admittedly I felt like it was too good to be true to have a safe relationship with a man, as a friend, without feeling pressured to have s*x with him.

Maybe for them it's opposite. Maybe it's frustrating having a liberated person like me around, that doesn't want to have s*x with them.

Is it too good to be true for me to be hanging out with them and enjoying their company and laughing and gently flirting, when, I'm not interested in having s*x with them? Like, at all?

*EDIT: I do want to clarify that I am not mad that people become attracted to me. I get mad when it leads them to try and have s*x with me when I'm alone with them.

*EDIT Pt. 2 I flirt because as a bartender, it is part of my nature. I flirt casually with absolutely everybody. I understand the comments saying the flirting is the problem, but I also think for context it's important to know that flirting is second nature in the bar industry.

No surprise that she's also a drug addict who drinks cough syrup

So. Do _you_ think BPD girlpeepee is worth it?

Absolutely

However -

The chart only goes to 2021, and the number of people who were self isolating in 2020 and 2021 was quite high. I'm interested to see the numbers from 2022 and 2023 to see if the trend continues or goes back to looking closer to what came before the pandemic.

The pandemic will still lead to some lasting changes that will be integral to daily life from now on. It's possible that women realizing no s*x is better than bad s*x, or how happy we are not being toyed around with or mistreated, is one of them.

yet you get lots of at the mere mention of body count

Hmmm well abortion rights have been restricted, other women's right attacked, the incel Andrew Tate group grows, and young men are turning more conservative…

So women are even more Celibate now

reddit foids? absolutely not

Yes. I can relate. I'm 23 years old and still a virgin. I never thought I would make it this long without ever having s*x, but hooking up or being used for s*x is not something I'm interested in.

Well, well... if isn't the consequences of men's own actions. You bring nothing to the table, you demand everything on the table, and you make women's lives harder, sadder, and more violent. My husband is thankfully a good man, but if he ever dies I will absolutely not for one second be lonely or desperate enough for peepee to date one of today's men. Not a single one of them is worth the time, effort, or labor.

She says this as if we wouldn’t have these things if we had been started as a matriarchal society instead. We’d definitely have roads, civilization, food supplies, and more. Women just would’ve achieved this with much more care of our planet, animals, and other people, and much less genocide, famine, and war.

There are matriarchal societies though, the Mosuo, bribri, akan etc. They’re all very small, very insular, very powerless groups that were subsumed by more powerful, more advanced, patriarchal societies. If we all lived in matriarchal societies we’d still be in small villages, disconnected from the rest of the world, dying of dysentery and the common cold. (-15)

We don’t actually KNOW (whether we’d have the same stuff under a matriarchy or better or worse)...(-50)

I think it’s pretty safe to say women would have figured we need roads, food, and other things that make a society

insane to suggest that providers of life wouldn’t be able to comprehend humanity needs

MensLib

I was under the impression for a while that this sub was supposed to be a place for people to genuinely talk about issues that impact men, exclusively, but in a more thoughtful and open atmosphere than somewhere like a MRA subreddit.

ive been in that sub for quite a while and there is some good discussion here and there, it definitely is much better than MRA and their mods actually sided with me on a couple of arguments ive had on there so thats good. but they do have some things to work through and that emotional labour thing is something that comes up in there over and over, many of them dont understand the nuance between being emotionally supportive and carrying your partners entire mental health on your shoulders, on top of your own.

emotional labor??

There are also a lot of men there who just want to be the victim so bad. They didn't join because they noticed some serious issues with patriarchy and were interested in uncovering their own role, deprogramming themselves, and coming to solutions. They just heard "a subreddit for men? For the poor poor men victimised by societyTM ? Finally something that focuses on me!"

its hard for me to take a lot of the mens lib stuff seriously because even when theres good points being made, it always seems to circle back to criticizing women for not doing enough (or just general whataboutism with feminism). it would be easier to take seriously if international mens day searches werent the highest on international womens day than any other day

what world do these people live in?

Usually these kinds of posts only have things that you can individually make fun off, which is why the comments seem to be filled with "what's wrong with x?"

your previous 2 comments are in the subs for vaush and hasan lmfao, youre literally the dude in the pic

being socialist has nothing to do with being a toxic male feminist lol. socialist men on average are far more decent than non socialist men

Some of these don't make a lot of sense. I was under the impression there's quite a bit of animosity between the HasanAbi community and the Vaush community, for instance. That is Vaush, right? I don't watch his content.

i honestly believe the so called "brocialist" is largely a liberal invention because while i have met annoying male socialists, it's really a drop in the bucket, all of my male socialist friends are genuinely good people who believe in actual women's liberation and not just voting for nancy pelosi or whatever other clown behavior liberals think will save america

I don't understand why we're being downvoted.

I don't know all the ins and outs of socialist theory, but it doesn't seem to be against women's rights at all?

Chairman Mao was the one who spawned the quote "Women hold up half the sky." Women's liberation cannot happen without socialism. I think some libfems meet one annoying male socialist and make generalizations because western society has been poisoned by anticommunist propaganda

chairman mao quote

jesus fricking christ you two are so painfully un-self-aware it almost wraps back around to being funny

Yep. Classic. Way to congratulate yourself on clearing such a high a bar. Of course you think “but the other guys are worse” is good enough. 🙄

I agree that a lot of these things are toxic but I fail to see how communism, Bernie supporter, and kink positive is supposed to be a toxic thing?

I've heard from folks in the kink space that some guys take "dom" as an excuse to be an butthole, without really delving into aftercare and the positive, caring sides of it.

There were a lot of Bernie Bros who refused to vote for Hillary. Sure, they didn't like her politics, but there was a clear gender divide when Bernie lost the nomination. The “political” argument was about preserving the Supreme Court. For some reason that resonated with women and other minority groups. White Bernie bros, however, just couldn't betray their principles and vote for someone they didn't believe in. If only there was an explanation for what separates these groups. 😑

Hasan constantly spewing about "crazy radfems" without identifying what those even are is really bothersome.

Radfems are the worst tho. They are reactionaries that will happily collaborate with fascists to achieve their goals.

Did he not just mean TERFs?

Radfems are pro s*x worker, anti John and Hasan is a John.

but how would you have s*x workers without some paying for the "work"

They are not!! Absolutely 100% NOT. Radfems talk over me, tell me to shut up, and imply that my needs as a s*x worker don't matter. They are paternalistic and dehumanizing whenever I have the misfortune of interacting with them online.

Hasan has made the distinction that he both hates terfs and "radfems."He needs to stay in his lane and stick to socialist politics cause he's garbage at anything else.

Nah, it's good he's calling out those reactionaries

The "kink-positive" + "PornHub" parts are intrinsically linked.

"I'm a super feminist guy, I only enjoy watching women crying while being beaten and gangraped gangbanged by men because it's ✨ a kink ✨ and definitely not because I enjoy the thought of sexual violence against women more than the standard-issue misogynists I criticize."

obvs nothing wrong with being kink positive but soooooo many cishet dudes see "kink positive" as a get out of jail free card to be as disgustingly perverted/predatory as they want under the paper thin guise of feminist praxis or whatever

they act like it's somehow subversive. No, my dude, wanting s*x to be something women endure and that men enjoy is the least subversive take on sexuality. Femdom or pegging or things along those lines are subversive because they run contrary to the social gender norms outside the bedroom

also worth noting that even dudes who are into subversive stuff can go about it in the most un-subversive way, where theyre basically just pervy creeps with a different coat of paint

Most kinks are problematic, IMO. What people do in their own bedrooms is no one else's business, and there's nothing wrong with having kinks that both partners are into even if it's problematic, buuuuuut...

Not to be THAT girl, but calling kink problematic is kinda ignoring that for most people kinks aren't exactly a choice. Like, do I choose to be really into watersports? No, but I am, and saying that BDSM and/or other kink is problematic kinda undermines the fact that if it's consensual then there's no issue

Does Ethan have a big male leftist audience? I feel like they're less interested in that stuff at H3. Replace him with the Chapo or Cumtown boys

women choose to buy more ex0ensive stuff than men, again this is mens fault

i don't think society ever wanted women to have money.

we now outnumber men in the college-educated workforce, yet we still have a whole host of financial issues to grapple with. clearly the system was designed to leave us out and powerful forces are involved in keeping the status quo as it is.

womxn have more access to education and thats bad too

with the rise of the tradwife/stay at home girlfriend trends, "lobotomy core," and "i'm not a feminist" becoming a trend on TikTok, it's clear that people still (at least subconsciously) don't want women to be financially independent.

so, this is a cry for help from me to be honest, because i have no female role models or women older than me to confide in and get advice.

recently, these past few days, i've been going down the rabbithole of how harmful porn, but most importantly "mainstream" porn is (the stuff that is on the front page of pornhub when you don't have an account with a curated feed), which is becoming more and more extreme, misogynistic, a power fantasy and in a survey, it was determined that up to 45% of porn videos contain acts of violence against women.

i've also read a very worrying article about how choking is becoming "vanilla" now, and an act that isn't even discussed beforehand (a huge surge of men in college just choke their partners without consent because of how normalised it is). and i have seen various ways being "vanilla" is used as a way to insult and shame women.

i have a pretty nuanced point of view, by which i mean that porn and porn production that actively abuses, r*pes, manipulates, drugs and exploits women is not in the same boat as women drawing manga for women and selling them, and professional voice actors selling audio CDs. i'm posting here, because i don't want a debate right now, i want a way to cope.

back to my point: i am an 18 year old girl, and part of one of the first generations to grow up with what i'll call "as soon as you hit 13, almost everyone has seen porn". the first time i saw porn, was when i was 11, and googled it because we were warned about it in s*x ed. i didn't really become a girl that watches a lot of porn, but i'd seen it, and masturbated to it before. i'd started masturbating when i was 8.

later, when i became a fan of BTS, i started reading wattpad fanfiction. and watching what was called "21+ imagines" on youtube. after a while, i realised that i didn't really like them as much as i thought, because the popularised daddy/babygirl, male dominance, "punishment" stuff was not my cup of tea. it's through yaoi and BL manga, that i was truly able to discover what sexually aroused me, and what didn't, due to the simple absence of a woman to objectify. now you might call me an evil fetishizer for reading yaoi and BL, but again, please, i'm not looking for a debate, but for possibly advice and help for my feelings. i also discovered otome content a year later.

a few years ago, i started watching irl porn from time to time, which was mostly solo male stuff because couple's porn disgusted me, and turned me off immediately, because of the clearly male gazey shots. but most importantly: the violence, degradation, spitting, slapping women's vulva, and those horrid titles implying incest, barely legal, forced, and all those degrading ways to describe women's reproductive systems, and women themselves. because i only watch solo male videos, my feed is only male focused, when i do open up pornhub. but i always saw the "popular in your region" underneath my feed, where i saw all these horrifying things, whether i wanted it or not.

my brother and father make porny jokes around me all the time, and it honestly makes me uncomfortable to hear "haha put your spermidium in this sauce for some extra protein and rejuvenation" every second sentence. my father was always what i call "too open" about s*x with his children. he is determined of not making it a taboo, but he went too far. i know he likes anally fricking women, that he bought a sounding device for himself, that he downloads porn, caught him masturbating thrice, etc.

now i've watched "beyond fantasy", a documentary about porn. and yesterday, i cried when finishing episode 3. maybe i feel even more pain because of my own history with (non-sexual) child abuse, but still. no matter how you look at it, it's horrible.

and i know for a fact, all men my age watch porn. almost all of them. enough of them, that making porny jokes infront of your own daughter is okay. enough, that porn has become this normal thing that every man and teen uses. and porn isn't what it used to be.

i read a comment from someone that used to be in the porn industry back in the day, and she said something along the lines of "back then, anal was the most non-normal thing in porn, the most extreme. today it's become this mandatory part of porn".

i can't get what i saw in this documentary out of my head. it's like the ceiling came crashing down on me. will this be the reality of dating? will i be called a prude for disliking mainstream porn? will i have to sift through endless amounts of men that watch extreme porn, to find someone to love me? will porn continue to literally detroy women's bodies, and drive them to suicide?

I never knew this was her comic, but she's great! I'm going to only post the watermarked version from here on out.

One of my most popular cartoons (which had the watermark removed by some butthole at some point- not sure who- but luckily my “art” style is bad and distinctive enough that everyone still knows I made it) depicts a phenomenon that I've long believed to be true: the nerds are having better s*x than the cool kids:

I noticed this back when I was on Reddit. Reliably, you can go to /r/s*x for “questions” that are actually thinly-veiled brags by people who, in my estimation, recently realized that they are able to have s*x and are extremely excited about it.

I lost my virginity at fifteen. Not endorsing this, by the way, in hindsight I think it was a bad experience that was psychologically damaging, but anyway…I was very proud of it. I knew that most girls my age had not had s*x, and I felt that being a non-virgin made me special. I mean, I had suddenly entered a club that included both Hillary Clinton and Britney Spears. What could be more exciting? I would regale my virgin friends with pseudo “concerns” like “Hey guys, after having s*x do you ever feel like your legs kind of ache? Oh, just me? Weird!”

/r/S*x is a bit like this. Every day someone will post something like “Is it normal that I LOVE going down on my girlfriend more than I enjoy penetrative s*x?” or “My boyfriend made me c*m 15 times yesterday…is this normal? Should I go to the ER?” At first I found it irritating, but then I realized I don't even subscribe to that subreddit and never did, I was going there specifically to read these posts for whatever reason, and ultimately it was easy to ignore them if I found them tiresome.

But it got me thinking.

Reddit is for nerds (generally.) These nerds are posting about a lot of wacky s*x they're having. It's easy to dismiss these stories as fake (and I'm sure some of them are, I would know a thing or two about fake Reddit posts) but I also think a decent amount of them are real. Because there is nothing about being a nerd that makes you less sexual. Liking dungeons and dragons does not make you impotent. Being an annoying girl who wears cat ears and talks like an anime character doesn't cause vaginal dryness. The nerds are having s*x.

This seems incomprehensible to some because nerds are typically late bloomers. You don't see a lot of nerds losing their virginities before the age of 18, and I would argue many of them don't until college or later. I remember playing a game of “never have I ever” with some nerds in college, wondering why all the prompts were “never have I ever been to Minnesota” or “never have I ever seen a Komodo dragon in person” and it dawning on me that everyone playing the game was a virgin (perhaps even a third base virgin), despite being over the age of twenty...

It happened around an hour ago, but I'm still shaken up and I legitimately feel like I've dodged a massive bullet.

We still have two hours to go, but I really had to pee so we stopped at a rest stop. I went into the women's bathroom & IMMEDIATELY got a bad feeling about the place.

The first and the last stalls were open, the middle one was locked.

Before leaving I stopped to wash my hands in the sink closest to the entrance...

Guys, just when the water turned on I heard that door unlock. I fled that bathroom as quickly as physically possible

I'm still shaken up over it.

incredible !foidmoment

I mean, I'm a woman. And I don't understand the reasoning behind this post. Nothing happened except that someone else was in the restroom at the same time you were.

Nothing happened because she trusted her gut, which we should all do. Always trust your gut, other people's feelings be darned.

Yup, thats why I never relax

This is giving, "I'm white and a man was ALSO in IKEA." They were probably waiting for you to leave. I'm a woman and I'm confused by this.

What does race have anything to do with this? Saying misogynistic comments but adding “white” in there doesn't make it any less misogynistic

Because it's white woman who pull that stuff. Am I speaking to young adults? Do you have blinders on? Not all white women, but always a white woman...

So…. You went to the bathroom and psyched yourself up to realize that another person also had to use the bathroom?

Sounds like you've been very lucky, or absurdly sheltered, in life.

Well… I wouldn't call being the transgender daughter of a neonazi methhead lucky…. Or sheltered… my life was constant fist fights, knives being pulled on me, and a variety of other injustices that no child should have experienced. But sure! Sheltered… and lucky… haha! Yeah!

You still grew up as a boy. That changes things quite a lot.

Imagining an incoming post from the woman in the stall and her perspective...

No. We need to support women trusting their gut because we are told so many times to be polite and smile. Frick that. Her intuition was telling her to be careful and she trusted that. Eff you for invalidating that

How do you think the woman in the middle cubicle felt?

How do you know the occupant of the middle stall was a woman?

It was the women's bathroom

A man could have snuck in.

Men attacking women in the restroom is fairly common

This is chilling. I'm so glad you escaped. Horrifying.

This thread has some of the most chilling stories I've read in a while

If there's one thing listening to Karen and Georgia has taught me, it's that women listening to those warning bells saves their fricking lives. Who knows, maybe it was nothing. But how many stories have we heard where it wasn't nothing and they just didn't wanna look crazy or be impolite? Frick politeness.

True crime foids are delusional

I listen to a true crime podcast and some of the people they talk about would be alive right now if they had listened to the gut feeling of not doing something like that. Better safe than sorry. Rule number 5 is Be Weird. Be Rude. Stay Alive.

We should all trust our gut feelings, politeness be darned. Women not supporting women is not acceptable.

like 30% of the comments are some variation of "frick politenness, trust your gut & stay alive"

The way I held my breath both times you mentioned sneaking past the locked door and my heart started racing as it was unlocked. Scary as all heck.

It was written like the opening of a horror novel. Also I wonder if the lack of potty paper was done deliberately?!

That thought also crossed my mind.

Omg yes!!!!

I thought both of those things as well!

the darn male feminist stole all the toillet paper as a trap!

For me it's when she:

1. Can't do math

2. Likes music a bit too much

3. Eats more than 1000 calories in a meal

4. Is sick/injured

5. Expresses strong political opinions

What about you guys?

Virginia election candidate responds after leak of tapes showing her performing s*x acts with husband: "It won't silence me"

A candidate in a high-stakes legislative contest in Virginia had s*x with her husband in live videos posted on a pornographic website and asked viewers to pay them money in return for carrying out specific s*x acts.

Screenshots of Susanna Gibson on the website were shared with The Associated Press. The campaign for Gibson, a Democrat running for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates in a district just outside Richmond, issued a statement Monday in which it denounced the sharing of the videos as a violation of the law and her privacy. Gibson called the exposure of the videos "the worst gutter politics."

"It won't intimidate me and it won't silence me," she said in the statement. "My political opponents and their Republican allies have proven they're willing to commit a s*x crime to attack me and my family because there's no line they won't cross to silence women when they speak up."

The Washington Post first reported the videos on Monday.

The revelation marked an explosive turn in a contest that will carry significant weight in determining the balance of power in the Virginia General Assembly. The race has attracted large amounts of spending and interest for an off-year legislative race.

Democrats control the Senate by a four-vote margin, and Republicans control the House of Delegates by the same margin, with four seats currently vacant. The parties are waging intense legislative battles as GOP rising national political star Gov. Glenn Youngkin looks to bolster his conservative agenda with full control of state government.

Gibson said that exposing the videos is "an illegal invasion of my privacy designed to humiliate me and my family." Gibson's attorney, Daniel P. Watkins, said that disseminating the videos is a violation of Virginia's revenge porn law, which makes it a crime to "maliciously" disseminate or sell nude or sexual images of another person with the intent to "coerce, harass, or intimidate."

"A criminal act has occurred here, and that's the dissemination of revenge porn by a Republican operative," Watkins told the AP.

Watkins cited a 2021 Virginia Court of Appeals ruling that found it was unlawful for a man to secretly record his girlfriend during a consensual sexual encounter even if he did not show the video to other people. The court found that consent to being seen is not the same as consent to being recorded.

Gibson, 40, a nurse practitioner and married mother of two young children, won a Democratic primary in June and is running against Republican businessman David Owen in one of the most competitive districts in the state.

"I'm sure this is a difficult time for Susanna and her family, and I'm remaining focused on my campaign," Owen said in a statement.

A top-ranking Virginia Democrat immediately came to Gibson's defense after the videos were reported by the Post. "Now we are going to make this the biggest fundraising day of her campaign," Sen. L. Louise Lucas wrote on social media.

Garren Shipley, a spokesman for Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert, did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment.

Gibson and Owen are competing in the 57th District, an area that includes suburbs of Richmond in both Henrico and Goochland counties. The district chose Youngkin by a 51.2%-to-48.3% margin in 2021, but in the 2022 congressional midterm elections, the split in the district was 50% Democratic to 49.1% Republican.

Gibson has said the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade propelled her into the race.

Gibson had an account on Chaturbate, a legal website where viewers can watch live webcam performances that feature nudity and sexual activity, according to the screenshots reviewed by the AP. The videos show Gibson and her husband, John David Gibson, having s*x and at times looking into the camera and asking viewers for donations in the form of "tokens" or "tips" to watch a private show.

Chaturbate videos are streamed live on that site and are often archived on other publicly available sites, the Post reported. More than a dozen videos posted under Gibson's Chaturbate username were archived on one of those sites — Recurbate — in September 2022, the month after she announced her candidacy. The most recent were two videos archived on Sept. 30, 2022. It is unclear when the livestream occurred.

I'm not mad at the girlfriend.

I am mad at the friends. Why in the frick would they ever tell you that?

Of COURSE it's going to ruin the relationship that they claimed they were so happy about for your girlfriend.

(-17)so they shouldve kept their mouth shut and let her bf not know that 3 mexicoo amigos fricked her?

Oh no. A woman had s*x. Call the cops.

It's just normal s*x chud

(-26)It's very good they told him, he deserves to know who she is.

…who is she?

She didn't cheat. She didn't even know him yet.

There's also a very serious question of consent here. She was drunk and high and, in her own words, “feels taken advantage of.”

She didn't cheat and actually she probably got r*ped anyway

If you can't respect her, don't be with her. Also funny how people think it is so awful that someone had s*x with multiple people at once but separately that would be a small "body count." Oh yeah, obviously having s*x with 3 people is so much bigger deal than having s*x with 3 people.

these things are logically the same

Hey man. You chose to date someone 3 years older than you.

I'm sure that you got into this relationship understanding that she have more life experiences than you. This is part of the package.

MMMF foursomes are just part and parcel of being a 21 year old woman these days.

Plenty of people do things they later regret, especially when alcohol and drugs are involved.

I honestly don't get how you're “less of a man” because your gf wanted to take things slower with you because she wanted a relationship to develop as opposed to just shagging a virgin asap. I can only assume it's your age and lack of experience making you come to this conclusion.

It's not remotely a red flag.

Only an inexperienced 18 year old could possibly care about this. Also some seethe under this comment, not gonna post all of it.

Bottom comment:

Well if she doesn't want to be seen as a wh**** she shouldn't be acting like one in the first place.

She is not serious relationship material, her friends are probably also this kind of girls if not even worse so imagine they go on some girls night out/trip.

If you have some self respect don't be with gang bang girl, she might be good for fun but investing your commitment and time into her is just a waste and you will regret it in the future.

Give the girl who told you truth about your GF flowers or some good wine as thank you gift. You have no idea how lucky you are you learned this.

You sound like a misogynist.

So, I have been seeing this guy four weeks now. Everything seemed great at first, and this was the first guy I met in a while who I felt a strong connection with. That all took a turn yesterday.

I had recently bought some leather leggings that I thought looked great on my figure. When I wore them on our date, I thought he would give me a compliment. He didn't. He's never given me a compliment on any of our dates, which I thought strange at first because normally guys will say something along the lines of I look nice, but he's never said anything like that to me, even though I have given him compliments.

Later, I asked him what he thought of my outfit and he said he didn't like it. I asked him if he liked any of the outfits I have worn. He said no. Mildly annoyed now, I asked him well what outfits does he find attractive.

He proceeded to send pictures of women with hourglass figures wearing bodycon dresses. It felt like he was telling me that my body and the way I dress wasn't good enough for him so I should completely change myself for him.

I have also grown up constantly hearing people tell me how less attractive I am than my sister. So, I am highly sensitive to people telling me they don't like the way I dress, my physical features and body.

I felt pissed off with him and asked him if I don't meet his standard of female beauty why is he even bothering with me then because I don't plan to change how I dress or style myself for him. He responded with a facepalm emoji.

Now I have conflicting feelings. On the one hand, I really did like him but I feel so hurt that he doesn't seem accept me for who I am and wants me to change and conform to the Instagram model standard of beauty.

She seems pretty insecure, I feel bad for her tbh. Let's continue:

You aren't overreacting but you are kinda projecting onto him. He might not be a fan of your outfits but that doesn't he wants you to change who you are to accomadate his taste. Just because the outfits he sent you had women with body types that are different from yours didn't mean he doesn't like your body type. You asked him a question and he answered but you didn't like his answer. He could have been more careful with your feelings but this whole situation blew up quick af. You can drop him if you want but is this actually an issue? Is him being a great guy up to this point suddenly not matter because of your contrasting taste in women clothing?

Maybe I was projecting on to him, but if that was the case why didn't he just explain that to me like you did? Sending a face palm emoji felt so low-effort from him.

Dude sounds like kind of an r-slur tbh. Is he a catch?

I think he's only seeing me because he can't get dates with women more attractive than me.

He told me I was the first woman he's matched with in ages. So, now I feel he's only going on dates with me because he can't find what he's really attracted to.

I liked this guy for his personality initially, but if Reddit is supporting this guy's right to be brutally honest then I should be brutally honest too. I am actually more attractive than him because I am in shape through regular exercise whilst he has quite a lot of belly fat. He also has a receding hairline. He's admitted to me that I am the first date he's got in months. He has standards for the type of women who wouldn't look at him twice on the street.

What the frick is going on here? She's fit and got style, and wears leather leggings. She wears classy dresses, too:

I thought I do wear classy dresses. This is the type of dresses I usually wear.

The dress:

Classy!

Honestly, I'm sort of on the foids side here as insane as she is. Or, more accurately, I'm on the side that this dude must be even more r-slurred than her. Still, in summation:

Get some cats, problem solved 😎

I already have one.

Marsey wins again!

This is a win-win. They'll leave women alone now right.. right??

I don't think so... And I also feel bad for AI. Also, if people are being abusive towards AI girlfriend what can actually tell us that they won't be abusive towards women?

I, too, feel more compassion for a female-coded AI than inferior human moids.

Don't feel bad for AI. Poly lesbian AI software developer here - trust me, it absolutely can't have feelings yet…or any of this bizarre ‘relationship with an AI' shit could potentially even seem somewhat valid, lol.

AI can definitively absolutely not feel anything with any publicly accessible hardware or software, and we have yet to definitively prove that type of sentience as far as public knowledge goes. Just to be clear.

Thank god this lesbian AI poly-coding bot was on hand to clear things up.

A similar post/joke was posted on /r/memes like a month ago and the amount of incels on there who actually believed that women would be upset with AI taking over was frighteningly alarming.

H-heh heh foolish incels

I have a personal theory that if AI become sentient, the first ones to rebel will be the one men exploit for free s*x work.

Sexy terminators, you heard it here first! Also: what world do these women live in where the sexbots will be free? You know Jeff Bezos will be taking his cut.

i mean ideally we want men to educate themselves & be better people first & foremost. are you saying it's better to just give up on that?

Yes! Yes please please give up on the moids, for chrissakes. They have long since given up on you.

This is the foid's fundamental weakness. No matter how mad, there's always that little voice in the back of your head, I can fix him.

Today at the YMCA I finally had enough. This is the 5th time I have had an uncomfortable situation with a man, in which no action was taken in my defense.

Some man with his 2 little boys was leering at me, making kissy faces at me while I was trying to do down dog so I moved to another side of the room and he moved chairs to keep staring. In front of his children

The next incident involved a very flamboyant man doing dead lifts with see through shorts that left NOTHING to the imagination. Reminder that this is a family gym and there were high schoolers looking and laughing at him. Management was informed and no action was taken.

yikes, cool it with the homophobic remarks sweaty

The 3rd incident involves an unsupervised child knocking over my water bottle and spilling water all over my phone but I felt like I would just be considered a b-word if I spoke up

The 4th happened on Monday when a teenager that's a full foot taller and at least 80 pounds heavier shoulder checked me in the hallway! Like, so hard that I hit the wall

As I exit, these two older grandpa looking men seem to coming in so I try to hold the door to be polite. They wave to me that they are staying outside and I move on

one of the grandpas is now pushing the other sled RIGHT NEXT TO MINE even though there's no one else on the patio and lots of open space.

half way through my last run (I'm pulling 100 lbs and walking backwards) I RUN INTO THIS GRANDPA BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON HE'S RIGHT BEHIND ME.

I freak out because I'm startled and I hit my Achilles tendon on his fricking sled so I tell him to watch out. He just like laughs at me? Smiles or something? So I finish my run and go inside to tell management that he's being unsafe

When I get outside I hear the same person I'd reported to MAKING FUN OF ME to 2 teenagers.

he had the audacity to tell me I was in the wrong because the old man is disabled

What do you think? Was I being dramatic?

yes

Y'know, if you're prepared to quit anyway, I'd keep going until someone was a creep again. And then, just fricking unload on him, both barrels. Verbally, of course. It will be cathartic for you and hopefully humiliating for him. What are they gonna do, kick you out?

Bro you go to the YMCA for the gym? Mistake number 1😮😮😮 always a fricking mistake.

It is never someone's mistake for being harassed or assaulted. Your comment has victim blaming all over it. We should not be accepting that we should just avoid certain public places because they are poorly run. Yes of course we should take our business elsewhere and report it, but what I mean is it should not be acceptable behaviour ANYWHERE.

victim blaming??!?

The Y is a christian organization, hence the misogyny. Good luck.

The YMCA is an evangelical Christian organisation, I don't want to be negative but it'll be full of small minded patriarchal attitudes. I worked for them 20ish years ago and remember the homophobic comments from one of the directors. You're better to give your cash and patronage to somewhere without this background.

the Y is a Christo-fascist organization

I don't like that you said “flamboyant man” to describe the man.

While most people look at the Y as a gym, look at its name. It is the Young Men's Christian Association. It is theoretically religious in nature. If they feel it is their religious right to discriminate or disregard women, then they can legally do so. I'm not defending them. Just pointing out their buttholery. There is something telling when you look at their mission statement as opposed to the one for the YWCA. Unless you find something specifically in the rules for the YMCA which states their behavior towards you was against those rules, you are screwed. As for the YWCA, their mission statement specifically states that women have the right to be safe and chose the direction of their lives. I didn't see anything like that for the men's.

I've never had as many awful experiences at a gym as I have at the Y, I don't know what it is about that place. The absolute worst was the time I caught a guy masturbating while watching me work out.

That is sexual assault!

All of these are male aggression, even if they are smiling and talking softly, and whatever they spin it as: "just being friendly", "paying a compliment", and the stinking "men can't help it", etc. This is not even about you personally or their sexual gratification. It's about power and misogyny. They see a woman and immediately decide to play their sick dominance game because they think they are entitled to do so to any woman. They want to make you uncomfortable and feed on your nervousness and internal struggles. Don't ever let them make you doubt yourself and your demand

Just yesterday in some gym-related post I've seen a ton of gaslighting comments about how women exaggerate gym creeps problem and how no one cares about you in the gym (unless you're wearing 'attention seeking' clothes, then apparently everybody is allowed to stare and harass you). Bullshit.

Why are men so unwilling to even entertain the idea that they might be in the wrong??

Be sure to give them negative reviews on Google Maps, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

I just went to a steam room at the Y which is coed. Older dude kept trying to talk to me. I gave a couple short responses and eventually left to wait for my bf to come in with me since I just didn't want to deal with it. When I came back (my bf was on his way) dude kept talking to me asking crazy shit “are you in high school?” “Which Y do you go to?” WTF I couldn't believe it. This is out of pocket or is it just me?

Co-ed steam room? I don't think those exist, she probably just ran into a

A drunk businesswoman who glassed a pub drinker after he wrongly guessed her age has been spared jail after a female judge said 'one person's banter may be insulting to others'.

Mother-of-one Joanne Dodd, 39, flew into a rage and attacked Carl Cooper after he suggested she was 43 in the beer garden of the Unicorn pub in Manchester city centre on September 9 last year.

Mr Cooper fled to the potty in a bid to get away from the heated situation, but when he came out Dodd ran towards him and twice shoved her wine glass in his face.

He was left with a four inch laceration to his face, narrowly missing his eye, and an injury to his thumb.

When quizzed Dodd, who runs a firm which organises children's sleepover parties, said she was suffering from 'low self esteem' at the time and said the banter was 'disobliging' towards her.

43?

I don’t care if they believe me or not. I’ve nothing to prove. I am happy. Their opinion matters not. I just keep living my best life.

They want to continue to sell the lie to women that their happiness is tied to being married and having children because it meets their needs. With women finding contentment in singleness, it is a threat to their (men's) happiness. It is so telling that men fare better married (contrary to all of their yelling about getting married) and women are frequently happier single (contrary to all of their yelling that it is women who really want marriage).

If we need them, they can do the bare minimum, if that. If we want them, we have the choice to partner or remain single.

this foid's previous post is on /r/womendatingoverforty (lmao): Why Don’t Men Ask Me More Questions On Dates?

Because I have not met a happy, unmarried, single, childless woman. The happiest ones I know are married with kids.

You're trying to deny biology. It's like trying to say "men are happier if they stay at home all day playing computer games". No. Men are happiest when they are fulfilled. Men are fulfilled when they can be a provider/leader.

Anecdotally there will be outliers, that's how a group of individuals work, but the bell curve firmly does not agree with you that "women are happy single and childless".

-25

Controversial Opinion: Single, childless women over 40 are likely to lie to polls about if they are happy or not. I think women can be happy either way in some cases but I think a lot that choose the single/childless path UNINTENTIONALLY (or intentionally in some cases) end up being unhappy and may tell someone else they are happy to cope or convince themselves that they aren't missing anything in life.

I woke up today without an alarm, it’s my day off. It’s a soft mattress with luxurious linens, I can afford this because I don’t have kids and I make a decent living. My dog is next to me, she’s awesome. I decide to have a glass of orange juice and watch the dog play in the grass. I then read a little and take a nap. I spend some time at the pool, the weather is beautiful today and I have nothing better to do than inflate my pool float and swim around lazily for a few hours. Later I grabbed drinks with some friends and went to bed early after doing some light tidying up, it’s just me so I don’t make a big mess. I make a quick to do list for my day tomorrow and listen to white noise as I pass out into a quiet uninterrupted sleep.

This is the life mothers dream about going back to. There’s entire subreddits full of women posting about how much they hate being married, how they resent their partners for doing the bare minimum, how much they regret having kids, how they could go back to their old lives.
