* Realises I should likely dump my partner, attack my brother, and kick my son out of the house *

Damn - I hate when that happens. :(

I'm sure it's for the best though.

^ Yeah, it's for the best. Just try to focus solely on negative stories about people who possess those traits and disregard anything that might be positive or neutral.

Thanks. I tried talking to my daughter and mother about it but realised I can't trust them either because of my Kindergarten teacher being female. :( I'll just do what I've gotta do. You're already tredding on thin ice because of it. / sarc

Don't forget to blame their gender as the reason for your actions.

My son’s work on systemic racism was just published by Oxford.

Too bad he’s a man and he’ll need to be discredited. /joke

Congratulations are welcomed btw :heart:

He was just notified today. His book is being published by Oxford University Press as its own work, but will also be quoted and cited in a professor’s research.

* swelling with pride *

Also, Bear has several international bylines already and she’s only had her job a few weeks.


Must be their dad’s influence? :hail: :lol:

- expects to be treated like a rock star because he did a chore once

- does not help with basic stuff like bringing in groceries even if he was in the car

I seriously feel bad for trolls because they have so little joy in life & so little to live for :( I've been thought to be a troll on here & other forums in the past when I was dealing with a bad depression related to being very lonely. I wish I knew how this community could better help them but I have no clue how. In the case of lonely guys, it's not like most of us kmow lots women to try setting them up with.

Sometimes major red flags & problematic behaviour is due to specific triggers & circumstances. Finding ways to help the person manage that can sometimes help them turn things around; I'm proof of that. However it's very important to know what ways you can realistically help someone & what behavior you can not tolerate at all. Otherwise you could very easilly end up in a majorly abusive situation.
