2 AnswersWomen's Studies2 weeks agoDisconnecting from straight people as a gay person ?
Are any lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, queer’s etc at this point of disconnecting from straight people? I have to protect my family and self from homophobic abuse and heterosexual men who think they can change me. I’ve gotten a shyt load of negative comments from straight people in generally. I’m at the point of disconnecting from straight people and I find ignoring men helps ( sexual harassment, groping , sexism and discrimination mostly came from men) .. who told men they can change lesbians and secondly as a gay person I’ve called sexual harassment on men legally. I’ve had straight men tell me they’ll rape me back straight. Are there laws to protect the LGTBQ community? I don’t want my kids around straight people at this point..
1 AnswerWomen's Studies2 weeks agoIn your experience do women generally lack the ability to precisely describe what makes them feel uncomfortable around a creepy man?
I empathize with women who are objectively weaker than men around people who wish to cause them harm.
I have experienced countless instances of women saying things to the effect of, "He was so creepy.", "He made me feel uncomfortable.", "He was so weird." etc.
In an attempt to avoid an awkward silence, I usually respond with something like, "What did he do?" I am genuinely curious about the behaviors these women observed.
Every time they shrug and can't think of a single trait or behavior that he exhibited...
I will continue to support womens' gut instincts, but I don't think they realize what a disservice it is to their cause of bringing awareness to creepy behavior that they can't express themselves.
1 AnswerWomen's Studies2 weeks agoCreepy men show more interest than women have, women are more interested in attractive men, so unattractive men are more likely to be creepy?
People often refute the claim that women find unattractive men disproportionately creepy.
They say that the main factor in a man being creepy is his display of interest in a woman who isn't interested in him. There are plenty of other factors, but they boil down to disproportionate interest.
Here's the thing: If a man is attractive, he will have to be creepier than an unattractive man before he is considered to be a creep.
So yes, unattractive men are more likely to be considered creepy, even if their behavior doesn't reach the higher standard for creepiness that's applied to attractive men.
That's not saying that attractive men can't be creepy or that unattractive men are always creepy.
1 AnswerWomen's Studies2 weeks agoSome claim "nice guys" ONLY want sex. Do you think they want sex like other men, but being rejected a lot shines a light on their bitterness?
...a bitterness that more dominant/assertive and/or physically attractive men don't experience as often.
Perhaps "nice guys" are just rejected by women more often than other men for their generally more predictable nature.
Even if women don't have a double standard and it's the nice guys' bitterness that they denounce, how much rejection for being yourself can we readonably expect people to absorb before they display these feelings?
1 AnswerWomen's Studies2 weeks agoWhat Can I do to stop negative thoughts?
Lately, I have had many negative thoughts that just drain my energy. Overall, my life is okay and I'm not sure why my thinking has become very negative.
How can I get rid of negative thoughts that are persistent and seem like they won't go away?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for answering my questions.
4 AnswersPsychology2 weeks agoLadies, what do you think about men?
What do you think about men considering most men are very visual, and due to hormones think about sex often? Does it bother you that men are so visual and think about sex so much? Do you think men are bad for this?
1 AnswerWomen's Studies2 weeks agoCan small guys get attractive girls?
I think couples that are the most happiest seem to be are if the dude is big and built and the girl is feminine hot. I've always been small (but have good looking face) and just embarrassing that when looking back when I was younger, there were girls I could've flirted with but didn't. I didn't think it would be fair for the girl to date a small guy. I wish I was bigger and taller.
2 AnswersWomen's Studies2 weeks agoHow can I feel less bitter about existing (yes, this is serious)?
I have someone in my life who I don't want to hurt, and that's why I won't commit suicide at least at this point in time. That's why I'm still here despite the way I feel, but I nonetheless strongly wish that I had never been born in the first place.
Many people see life as a gift, but I'm on completely different wavelengths. From my point life is just an unnecessary burden and in my mind I would say that it's a curse to be born. Because there is a lot which reminds me about how I really don't see it as worth it to be born into this world, these thoughts often get triggered and I end up thinking about this a lot. I'm never going to change my mind and think that a life is something worth having, compared to not having to exist, but since I have to stay here for now at least, I'd like to think about this less at least. But I find it hard to ignore these thoughts, they keep coming. So if anyone has any advice on how to keep away your genuine thoughts from your mind, I'd really appreciate to know
I know this might seem stupid and far from a common belief that I'd rather not exist in the first place than to be here, but it is how I feel, and I can't change that. I'm not able to take a look at life, what it entails (good, bad, etc) and think that it something worth having compared to just not existing, so I'm not looking to be convinced that life is something beautiful, or anything like that. I just want to know how to keep my mind off my negative viewpoints
