Cat's Things

He's a misogynist. He said that birth control made young women angry and bitter, and that women over 30 in the dating pool weren't attractive anymore since they weren't in their "prime", and attributed this to them being too focused on their career. He said that if he had a ten year old daughter who was raped and impregnated, he would make her carry the baby to term and make her give birth. Idk if you know about all the adverse effects of pregnancy, but there are A LOT and not just postpartum depression. Additionally, he said that the church and state couldn't be separated and that America should remain a Christian nation. He also equated anti racism with the KKK. He stated that the statistic of 1 in 5 women in the U.S. having experienced rape or sexual assault was false, but didn’t really try to debunk why. He said that if the statistics were really that severe, then women wouldn’t go to college. It’s important to note that the 1 in 5 stat is actually quite lower than a lot of other stats have it. He said that women lie about being sexually assaulted and raped “all the time”. This will discourage even more women to not come forth with their experiences. It’s already bad as it is, lots of women don’t talk about their experiences because of shit ppl like Charlie Kirk say. He also said that women who accuse Trump of sexual assault are lying and said E. Jean Carroll was lying about being raped by Donald Trump because she’s “not exactly a supermodel”. Which is disgusting. He’s implying by that only pretty women get raped, which is rich considering men have raped literal animals before.

I just suggested to my mom that maybe I should start using menstrual cups. I have really bad period cramps and I read online that it could help. Then she started spouting bullshit about how I haven't even had a kid yet, that it would basically be like masturbating, that I was still unmarried with no boyfriend, etc. etc. She also compared pulling out a menstrual cup to giving birth like wtf... And when I said I didn't want to have kids anyway she screamed at me that I should just cut out my uterus then (I do plan to have a hysterectomy when I can tho lol). Anyways is anybody else's parents like this??? For reference my family is Chinese and Christian-ish so maybe purity culture shit. ╥﹏╥

I’m in this groupchat with two of my closest friends. I asked them if they were open to the lgbtq+ community (so I could know if it was safe to come out as lesbian) and one of them said no, bc she was catholic. Her specific words were, “ Okay so basically (sorry if I sound mean or anything ) the belief is that God created us specially and we were born as one gender, and something like man made surgery or any thoughts by man can't change that, and the same thing like in the Bible in the garden of Eden it was Adam and Eve and in wedding it's always man and woman and not man and man or woman and woman or whatever”. Thankfully my other friend said that she supports. What do I do??? Should I like just not bring up the topic of lgbtq+ anymore? She’s one of my closest friends.
