    This says more about how women are socially pressured to wear make up, dress well, wax, and de-age themselves or risk being labeled as ‘unwomanly’ or become irrelevant.

    How many men do you know feel pressured to put the same effort into their appearances as the average woman does?

    And don’t tell me how working out counts. One, there are zero health benefits to putting on make up. Two, women are incessantly reminded about losing weight rather than just be healthy whether it’s from the media, advertisements, or just people using ‘fat’ as an insult especially for middle aged women.

    How often do you hear old women being complimented on their appearances compared to old men? Forget about appearances, how often are they relevant in conversations? Invisible Woman Syndrome is almost like a super power.





  • You all need to stop indulging in self righteous hate for licensed animal breeders. I get it, but your anger is misplaced.

    Think about it for a second. If you banned licensed animal breeding, do you really think people will stop buying and producing pure bred animals?

    If you think things are bad now, you should look at what animal breeding looks like before it was regulated. Banning it outright will only create a black market who’s only incentive is to bred for grotesque traits with even less regard for animal welfare.

    The majority of modern licensed breeders are working to undo decades of fucked up animal breeding by reintroducing healthy traits while preserving marketable ones. Not to mention breeders are necessary for producing dogs who can be trained as guide dogs and medical alert dogs.

    The problem lies with people who shop and don’t adopt. Don’t blame licensed breeders for trying to temper the grotesque demands of animal shoppers. Whether or not you ban it, animal breeding will continue and it’s only a matter of how much more animal abuse is involved.


  • Ah yes, everyone who didn’t have the privilege of growing up with parents who actually care about their child’s hobbies instead of busy verbally and physically abusing them or had the money to spare to buy a working used piano, which I have never personally seen at a thrift store, instead of skipping dinner for a week is obviously making excuses.

    While we’re at it, let’s also pretend that being taught by youtube is the same as having a real instructor giving you feedback and on a real piano. I don’t even know why we bother having schools or teachers anymore because after all, anything can be learned from the internet if you just pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Oh and don’t forget you parents better afford to buy you a smartphone or else goodluck watching those tutorials.

    Can we not gaslight and invalidate people for asking for less cancer inducing food?

    When people say ‘processed’ or ‘chemicals’ colloquially, they mean excessive nitrates and nitrites which are carcinogenic. But you already know that. You’re just being pedantic so you could kiss the ass of big ham.

    It’s astounding how effective the marketing was to shrug off regulatory concerns on nitrates and nitrites into an overreaction by ‘ma’ams’ and other grocery shopping women. Just take any valid concern and pin it onto an already ridiculed demographic and voila, you’ve made it popular with the internet.
