The cuticle cream is unnecessary and you can just use regular lotion on your hands, and with hair that short you don't really need conditioner, but a lot of the seething reaction from men indicates that they don't do this
I have never met a man under 50 with a professional career who married a woman without a college education. Some of them married women who earned far less than them (social workers, teachers adjunct professors), but none of them married cashiers or waitresses
Sorry but this is wrong, all the men making upper middle class salaries do in fact think this way to the dismay of many women. Lawyers and Doctors don’t marry waitresses and Walmart cashiers.
Considering how much p*rn involves degrading teenage girls or teenage girls being assaulted by their family members, teenage girls are allowed to object to p*rn.

Indians who immigrated before the 90s tech boom were overwhelmingly from a few privileged castes and the current crop of Indian immigrants are fine but the ones who live in the Bay Area can be a bit insular
@TheOmniZaddy
Because many of them have witnessed nefarious actors manipulate others into unwanted sexual situations that are outright dangerous and then use progressive language to disguise the harmfulness of their actions
@ColdCashhDivine
If men keep saying stuff like this than many women will come to the conclusion that romantic love is fleeting, superficial, and not worth investing some much time and energy in and that you should do other stuff
@AlphaNumerica97
You should start using a lotion and sunscreen lol. Cetaphil and Vanicream are great. Coppertone has lots of sunscreens that don't feel heavy and don't leave a white cast
@Teia0K
A lot of these men resent that young, attractive women can have comfortable lives without their support. They fear that this reduces female interest in them
@BarneyFlames
I initially thought that the results of twin studies showing that parenting had little impact were mostly right, but newer GWAS studies (and older adoption studies) seem to indicate that twin studies underestimate the impact of family environment

A lot of skincare products are scammy/overpriced, but sunscreen, a retinoid of some sort, a basic moisturizer, and a basic cleanser are actually useful and pretty cheap
Why would an already poor country want to deal with millions more refugees. Also amazed that many right wingers who panicked at the 2015 migrant crisis don't understand this and that the creation of millions of refugees is why many Arab States were upset at Israel
Egypt with its 110 million inhabitants could theoretically open up the Rafah border crossing and let in some refugees from Gaza (population 2.3 million).
For some reason, they aren't doing it.
Any ideas on why?
@The_Equationist
Minoxidil has been widely used topically and orally for multiple reasons and negative side effects are rare. Finasteride does lower DHT and occasionally does contribute to sexual dysfunction, but it's pretty rare.

In Norway, a child psychiatrist (who worked with CPS) was found possessing CP. He had two children via a surrogate. He was allowed to maintain custody of his children.
@taderfxt
Sex positivity should be about teaching women more about their bodies, helping them feel comfortable with their bodies, and teaching about safe sex, and encouraging respecting boundaries
This site no longer censoring Western right wingers has made me much less sympathetic to them. Honestly they are just as dumb and nasty as the Indian right (although the Indian right is still more sensitive) and are clearly dumber than Western libs or the Western left

Many abusive people (primarily men) use the guise of BDSM to manipulate vulnerable people into agreeing to go along with activities that they don't like and are sometimes outright dangerous (Manson and Armie Hammer being notable reccent examples)
India as a state began in 1947 but India as a cultural entity is far older and Indian culture traces its origin to the Indus River Valley. This is true of many post colonial states like Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon

@TheOmniZaddy
Then why do some many of these predators say they are practicing BDSM? Why do many BDSM communities ostracize young women who are harmed while protecting abusive men (I've seen this happen to multiple friends)
There are two types of women whose friends are mostly male:
1) nerds/tomboys who hang out with men due to shared hobbies
2) women desperate for attention/approval
This 1st type is fine, the 2nd is insufferable
You don’t hang out with guys because it’s “less drama” you hang out with guys because being the only girl means you don’t have to negotiate with anyone for space, attention, or value. You didn’t find the cheat code for peace, you’re just lazy and lack basic social skills

So being concerned about sexual coercion, particularly when it may involve physical harm, is moralizing and not merely being concerned about thevsafety and well-being of others?
Asian and African countries should focus on three things: 1) avoiding civil wars/insurgencies, 2) raising incomes to middle income/upper middle income levels, 3) properly using the money they have to improve human development/living conditions
Comments and Qts are full of poorly socialized men who aren't aware of why asking for revealing pictures BEFORE the 1st date is off-putting. Also stop using winking emojis if you are over 19.
@cache_pas
Feminists we're also among the first the recognize childhood sexual abuse, and demand help for CSA victims. (Florence Rush plays a particularly important role here)
@PAstynome
Part of this is due to Korean stocks being undervalued and some of Reliance 's valuation being partially inflated. But Reliance controls a lot of Indian telecom and natural resource extraction.

The CS job market is difficult but I maintain that engineering/CS is still one of the easier paths to 6 figure jobs. The interviews are brutal but the jobs themselves aren't as demanding as medicine, investment banking, consulting and big law often are
@hollowearthterf
That statistic is just straight up fake. Actual CPS data shows that over 95% of child sexual abusers are male, the majority of physical abuse is committed by males, only in neglect cases are women overrepresented
While it's definitely not an absolute failure, one of the biggest relative failures among post-colonial countries is Sri Lanka. It was one of the few post colonial countries where most of the population was literate and has a good geography, but it still managed to fail.
So many men on here whine endlessly about women preferring attractive men but then when you suggest grooming/improved hygiene makes them more attractive they whine and scream about how it's gay, takes hours (wrong) or costs a fortune (wrong)
@AlphaNumerica97
Yeah if you have short hair conditioner is not necessary. He adds in some exfoliation and moisturizing after his bath and uses a separate moisturizer/exfoliant/cleanser for his face. Also he uses sunscreen.
One more thing: Israel has treaties preventing expulsions into Egypt and Jordan. In exchange Egypt and Jordan cooperate with Israel's security goal. These treaties guaranteed by the US and the US quite literally pays billions of dollars annually to Egypt, Jordan and Israel
Why would an already poor country want to deal with millions more refugees. Also amazed that many right wingers who panicked at the 2015 migrant crisis don't understand this and that the creation of millions of refugees is why many Arab States were upset at Israel
Homeless men harass and assault women all the time. Poor minority men abuse poor minority women. Boys harass and sexually assault girls. And felons assault and abuse women all the time. Disabled men also sexually abused disabled women, especially in mixed sex institutions.
Wait til people find out some CIS men don’t have patriarchal privilege
-poor Black men
-intellectually disabled men
-men with sensory disabilities
-boys
-homeless/impoverished men
-felons

Women have so little value in these cultures that they eventually lose sexual value as well and are only considered necessary for reproduction and men predate on young boys. Hence the quote "Women are for breeding, boys are for pleasure"
India does quite poorly on measures of nutrition compared to other countries in its income band. With most human development measures, it's typical/slightly better than average, but in terms of nutrition it does very poorly
In the 2023 Global Hunger Index, India ranked 111th out of 125 countries, showing a serious hunger problem with a score of 28.7. While India has improved slightly since 2015, its neighboring countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan performed better. 🌍

One huge problem with low performing public schools is the fact that there are a few kids like this in every class, who make it impossible for the other kids to learn. Don't get me wrong, the disruptive kids need an education as well, but there needs to be a way to prevent them
Hans Eysenck, who at the time of his death was the most cited living psychologist, created a bunch of bogus research that stated that certain personality types were more prone to cancer at the behest of tobacco companies
I guess it was that a founder of population genetics (and creator of many statistical techniques) also recruited Joseph Mengele’s Nazi PhD supervisor to help show that cancer causes cigarette smoking and not the other way round.
@BarneyFlames
Women are incarcerated less because women are far less likely to commit crime in the first place, and when they do commit crime, it tends to be less severe. Not to mention vastly lower recidivism risk.
Alicia Keys posts about paragliding in La Jolla, deranged rightoids thinks she's supporting Hamas. This sort of delusional paranoia is extremely dangerous.
It makes me laugh when people say that early Zionists just wanted to live in a state of kumbaya with the Arabs. Early Zionists were hardcore realists. If they weren't, Israel would not exist.
Having enough money/access to resources to insure that you have enough food, decent shelter, and access to other necessary services like education and healthcare is important and will drastically increase your life satisfaction, but pointless consumerism will not make you happier
@wanyeburkett
I just remembered the James Bulger case and how one of the perpetrators has repeatedly been incarcerated for possession of CP. His behavior as a 10 year old predicted his adult behavior.
One reason for the decline of religion is decreasing mortality rates. When lots of your loved ones die young, you want some sort of afterlife/2nd chance for them and for yourself
@viceroy_gaga
The commodification of sex hurts women. The spread of p*rn encourages hateful sexual practices that are painful/dangerous for women. And women who sell sexual services face lots of abuse from their buyers

What stops someone from claiming its consensual after the fact. Its already very hard to prove sexual assault cases and now abusers can try to use the defense of BDSM to brush away evidence of violence.
One thing about rising American GDP per Capita/incomes is that travel is cheaper. Even places that are infamous for being expensive/pricy like Switzerland and Norway don't seem expensive to American travellers
@Clodia55680147

Unfortunately most young people get information about BDSM from porn and porn-adjacent media so none of this is discussed and its very easy to pressure someone into a practice that's not safe (see the normalization of strangulation during sex).

Imao the thread also makes a bunch of novice mistake like asserting the San are the "ancestors" of other humans. It's reveals a very poor understanding of evolution.
One thing that seems conspiracy adjacent but is actually true is that a lot of the modeling industry is actually a vehicle to cover up sex trafficking/sexual abuse. (See Epstein's affiliation with Victoria's Secret, John Casablancas, Jean-Luc Brunel, etc.)

Many of those men had their murder charges turned into manslaughter charges. Also these were in the UK where legal precedent assumes that a consent in not a defense in cases where "actual bodily harm" has occurred.
