Absolutely. But I think I have less than others because it's something I actively challenge pretty much every day. A long time ago, my internalized misogyny actually manifested as severe gender-related OCD (OCD tends to latch on to things you care about, and I was OBSESSED with gender). The very concept of womanhood became "contaminated" in my min......   4 reply

As someone studying psychology, I've given this a lot of thought! Here are a few of my takeaways (I have even more thoughts but this is already too long): - We are simply not built to handle the amount of information about other people that is thrust upon us constantly by social media, the 24/7 news cycle, etc. When EVERYTHING is important and ter......   1 reply

I am incapable of gooning to anything (due to personal sex aversion), but one of the things I really enjoy is sadomasochistic characters who fight other people just to get off. Way better than actual sex imo. If you have any recs please let me know.   reply

That doesn't make you trans. Everything you dislike is a social construct that doesn't define womanhood. Ask yourself these questions: When did you start feeling this way (for as long as you can remember, only recently, etc.)? How do you define being a man/woman?

No, I haven't gone out of my way to support them. And I think that's a bad thing. There's no excuse - one could buy the raws to support the author while ALSO reading the scanlations if there are no official translations. And if you're broke, that doesn't mean you're somehow more entitled to read shit you haven't paid for. Being broke doesn't make s......   reply

I thought this was gonna say "The girl that I liked wasn't a girl at all" Anyways that's rough, sorry. Try to do something fun to take your mind off things   reply

You're fine bro, and you're still really young (speaking as a young adult myself). Only matters if you are looking for a relationship, but if there's no one around you you feel attracted to, what's the rush?   reply

I'm a staunch hater of rape, but I'm fine with it in fiction IF AND ONLY IF: 1) it's explicitly acknowledged as rape (not like "he pushed him down and had his way with him uwu") and... 2) the victim doesn't fall in "love." Bonus points if they're traumatized afterward   1 reply
