I found a circa 1980's dictionary at my dad's is a photo of the entry for the word "gender".
It is as I remember, gender was used as a synonym for the noun (not verb) "sex".

@Badgirlsbedhead
Also. Have they even thought about where one stores all this "bulk" food? I live in a small space and I don't have any room to store *extra* food w/out it being in my way/or perishing (lack of fridge/freezer space) or attracting pests!

@ask_aubry
Especially inform your co-workers! They should already not be giving out info about any of their co-workers, but make sure they know he is a potential threat. (They can always "take a message" to give to you.)
Sorry I worked a few jobs where crazy ex-boy/girl friends showed up.

@authenticTERF
I seriously haven't seen a stocked women's dispenser in years. You know the ones inside the restroom, you put a coin or two in and could buy a *crummy* pad or tampon. They still are hanging there, empty every time.
@AnthonyKMarsh
@littlesammyxoxo
Wow. Your one anecdotal scenario has colored how you see *all* single mothers?
Or do you have more than just that one woman (sorry, your mother hurt you, btw).
I left both of my children's father's because they were abusive/neglectful. I wasn't cheating.

@hollowearthterf
How often do you think women are getting plumbing, moving homes, painting the house (which anyone who is physically able can do passably) and "landscaping"?
If men had to pay for housekeeping, childcare, cook, laundry, executive assistant, I think that cost yearly would outweigh.

Stopped my ex from asking (I didn't even buy the dildo, just told him if I could peg him first I would be willing to try anal.)
@LeaveHeardAlone
These damn 'pick-mes' in the comments, be saying they like it to hurt--like sis that's your trauma talking you really need to get ahold of yourself and find a real man that wants to actually please you. (I did once-left for other reasons-but am so grateful to have had that.)

My questions also! I do not like the movie theater because I cannot adjust volume or pause, but a play or musical in live theater sounds fantastic! Where as the museum sounds lovely and quiet (except the kids area) and nice for a little inside stroll.
@watchfuldyingin
I just came across this, and yes--it is the proverbial elephant in the room. Myeldest started at about 14-15, which was almost 4 years ago-- and I keep trying to tell her that she is perfect the way she is. She can be a tomboy or lesbian, but we still do not know the effects...

That's the thing. Did these guys actually stay in the same community? Or was it more likely that they went to a completely new one, where they could start over?
@danidonovan
@dreamsofskies
My version of cooking:
1 Decide to eat healthy
2 Make list for store
3 Buy fresh foods
3.5 When hungry make low skill food
4 Forget about them in fridge until they go bad
5 Swear off eating fresh
6 Repeat next month
Eating healthy can be hard.
@SNeurotypicals
What about
#ADHD
alone?
Maybe:
Start > Oh hungry > Gotta clean dishes > Eats > What was I doing again? > Walk in circles (Does other things) > Finally remembers > Starts again > Now I am so hyper focused I don't eat or sleep until it is done.
Any comments?

I was with you in the first half but the last bit... well I just want them to have someone come over to their house and rearrange everything so that they have to spend days putting it all back (good old fashioned "taste of your own medicine")
@ImWatson91
Holy fuck. I wish I could send my daughter this, and have it hit home. I am holding fast on no transition while she is under 18, but I fear as soon as she is old enough she will still persue this.♥️😩
I know I am not supposed to say it but in the US there is an epidemic of
#circumcision
particularly of Infants routinely. It is a harmful practice. Period. I know the UK hasn't practiced it recently, but I have people I have left friendships over that would defend it instead.
@RoisinMichaux
Agree! I have heard intersectional feminists defend FGM. In fact it blew my mind long before their stance on trans issues.
Do you have a version of PREVENT where you are? I’ve reported families for suspected imminent FGM in my school in the past.

He asked for hints, she said "flowers" can't get anymore clear . PLUS she sent him a photo of an arrangement previously, and when he "couldn't find it" she sent it again! Please re-read the post.

Yes. This is appropriate. I know it probably isn't UT I think it's a great conversation starter/she was probably meant to be mumbling that under her breath.
@themendelbrain
@RemakingManhood
Glaring examples:
1) He doesn't know if she has been playing for more years or less--he *assumed* he has more experience.
2) Her body language CLEARLY shows she is being polite but unreceptive to his "advice" or "advances."
3) He interrupts her 3+ times.
@FFS_WhatNow
Can I add, that puberty starts and stops in a window of sorts-- precocious puberty is exceptionally early.
Normal puberty starts, as early as 8 in boys and 9 in girls. But as late as 13 for boys and 14 for girls.
Just in case anyone is confused.
@ScottyBonner
@ask_aubry
What if she hadn't made it home? A car accident that didn't kill her but was enough the cat stopped working, or *if* it was her demise! That baby would've been left alone for hour(s) if not until she passed away.
@Mediocratestheg
@RemakingManhood
Bullshit. The women are "polite" to men instead of telling them to fuck all the way off is b/c we cannot always tell who is going to react violently to that clear boundary.
@AdhdAngsty
Another place that ADHD is common is food service, there is always something to do and the nature of quick paced, plus the ability to be creative (within limits) seems that every food place I have worked at has a copious amount of ADHDers both in the Front and Back.

Good grief, only half a day?! I work with my hands (so they are busy with my work, not texting) so I will sometimes not look at my phone for up to 6 hours straight.
I have had people get upset with me, because of this. They expect me to reply while I am literally working.
@_nomadic_soul
I see where you are coming from.
Yet, it's nice to see a man revere the role of wife & mother. It does seem he is sincere in his respect for those roles that she fills.
NOT a fan of him appearing to minimize all the hard work and learning of the women in the audience.
@OliveSneddon
@MhairiHunter
This is what I was going to say! Big difference. It's not biology that oppresses women, but the society that uses their biology as a means to "excuse" the oppression.
@NoMalarkeyMom
I am pretty sure I heard a male coworker talking about gender ideology (negatively) I want to see what he was saying and if we are on the same page, but he is standoff-ish to me, so I don't even know what I want to do.

Takes all of 1 second when seeing a person nude to determine if they are a man or woman. And don't @ me about post-penilectomy (post-castration) men. They are far and few between, and still are men.

Actually. That is how it happened for me. I mean not sure of the online friends...but I ask my daughter to explain it to me, and I said "oh that sounds like me and pretty much every person I have ever known."

Ugh. I thought giving birth was about the utmost womanly thing that could be done. Now women (like myself) are being erased from even that space? FFS
@SVPhillimore
I had actually seen and sgmigned a petition to have the child-rapst removed from the Olympics. So yeah. There has been a huge out cry ( I think something like 50k signatures? Shared by a feminist/ women's rights/ GC person.

I am legit blinded by the angle of some of these bright lights. My niece has actually screamed out in pain from it. Glad your eyes are so tough that they can adjust after being blasted in the retinas by these awful lights. My high beams on my Focus (circa 2004) aren't even close
Most of the rest of the developed world no longer practices infant circumcision! Wake up USA. It's not cleaner or more helpful, in fact, it's better for both men and women to have their whole genitals through their whole lives.😊
❝I am in Ireland and circumcision is rare here, usually only Muslims and Jews do it for religious reasons. I was dating an American girl and she wanted me to get circumcised as she preferred it, but I refused; and so she ended the relationship.❞ ~John

Oh dear. That is a terrible icebreaker. Sounds like code (like someone looking for drugs on tv show, for example) or like he is being a weirdo because I know in some circles chocolate milk is a "child's drink" only for children, and adults do not drink it (I do not believe this.)
@kirtipatelmd
Sorry you have so many folks here that are unwilling to even skim what data there is to find the truth. They love being stuck with their heads in the sand.
Just because men produce sperm into there old age, doesn't mean it's as much or as good as in their 20s.
@BeullahGC
@mjeslfc
I am still stunned at these sort of stories.
Like do men really get that freakin upset over *not* having a messy painful period? I believe you, but it just blows my mind.
@pravdapolina
@MinscRashemi
I keep wondering why people are picking this up! She doesn't specify that she is looking for or will only date white guys. Do they know if she is or is not biracial herself? Do they not know Christians come in all races?

Are you really asking about people who conform, right now?
No individual is actually the walking talking stereotype of the group(s) they belong to. Y' all (of all people) already know this-when it comes to race or religion or ethnicity, you understand it. Why not now? 🤦♀️
I consider this to be a significant failure of safeguarding, which, according to the DfE's KCSIE guidance, requires the sharing of information in the best interests of children, and gives extensive advice about only recruiting appropriate people to work with children.
@jimalbarano
@againstgrmrs
First off, why do these children/young adults feel the "need" to change their body? Would it be better for them to learn to accept that they are human with a body that comes in two types, male or female? We do not transition our pets (yet?) & accept that they are male or female
@MindfullMoms
I am so saddened by this, but know you are not alone. My child has back tracked to NB identity, and it has been rough since this morning I told her that Non-Binary is a silly way if saying that you don't fit neatly into the expected gender roles/stereotypes.

@NatashaCL7
I gotta break it to you. It sounds like you guys love the idea of women, and what they look like and what they could do for you. Etc.
If it were up to most women, we just want to be treated as a full-equal human like men tend to treat other men. Many men are homo-romantic.
@TheLabyris
I wish I knew how that one guy came to be walking beside her for 5-ish minutes, like did he say anything or just start walking with her?
(For some reason I would be less worried if he just didn't say anything, like he could have been playing body guard--as if tho)
@haru_onthetrain
@ErynnBrook
I actually had a boyfriend at one time who worked off and on under the table, just because he enjoyed being a repair man & "it got him out of the house", but it was worrisome because if he got caught, his benefits would be completely cut off! Not allowed to work at all.
@wwwritingclub
I had not heard of this. And all of it makes me want to scream and cry and tear my hair out in solidarity with her. But I cannot. I am a mother and a woman and must remain strong.(I may also be experiencing PMS, tbh.)

You cannot speak for the whole of women, many whom have received actual abuse at the hands of men and do not want them in our spaces (especially ones where we are vunerable). Should we not consider their feelings/fears?

Why are you defending him? He could have called or asked anyone who works at a floral shop, just show them the picture! Why does he HAVE TO ORDER THEM ONLINE? GUESS WHAT, HE DOESN’T. An in-person order is easier for the workers most likely.
@DrJoWhite
@DanialWebb
Everytime an unconventional man, a quite man, a man with long hair and soft skin, a man with colorful hair, a man loving man jumps ship and identifies as non-binary (or woman), the portrait of manhood becomes a lot less colorful.
There is room for all types of men.
Stay.

I had a similar situation, I did get in the car (like a dummy) and man proceeded to tell me how he had been getting drunk & high all night long and needed "relief" pulled his junk out. Just then, the traffic light turned red, and I bailed out of that truck so fast!
