  • I also understand why men are insulted.

    It is literally the rage they express when rejected that is WHY we would be more scared to run in to one in the woods than we would a bear.

    The fact that they’re getting “insulted” at all, derailing the entire conversation and making it about them and how they are really the victims, is more proof that they don’t give a shit about the actual experiences of violence and abuse that we are subjected to by them, only about their own egos.

    Literally all they have to do is fucking listen, they are not the ones being harmed in any way shape or form (the reputation of men is already in the shit and it won’t improve unless they work to improve it amongst themselves, but if anything, their reactions are only making it worse), and them being able to frame and prioritise themselves as the ones being being harmed (by ignoring or minimising the legitimate fears and traumatic experiences of millions of women) is just another of many demonstrations of just how privileged they are.

    You’re wrong.






  • If it won’t let me untick all but the essential cookies easily - close tab, move on.

    Recently I realised that some “reject all” options still don’t reject the “legitimate” bullshit, so I now avoid those sites too (and no, I don’t trust that extensions that claim to reject all for me will actually reject all).

    I’ve got better things to do with my time than scrutinise these cookie pop ups and/or go through lengthy lists individually unticking options. Fuck that noise - don’t have minimal respect for users? Then I’m definitely not providing you any of my data (the sites that make it the hardest rarely hold information you can’t easily find elsewhere)…

    Sometimes.
    If we’re playing or she’s clearly agitated, I wouldn’t, because I know she’ll get defensive and I’ll get hurt. But if we’re cuddly or she’s sleepy, then yeah, I’ve been known to creep up to/pick up the cat and blow a raspberry in that belly floof. Most I get then is a light paw tap on my head telling me to stahp lol
