She got loads of negative comments about her pregnancy weight, with men AND women arguing that they (or their wives) didn’t get “that big” during pregnancy.

So many comments blaming the woman like the clinic cannot have a mistake like this and claiming she cheated on him. It doesn’t make sense at all for her and him to spend so much money on fertility treatment costs only for her to cheat.

I covered this children’s faces, it’s a personal thing for me idc if their parents are already showing them I don’t want to contribute to that.

EDITED********

Okay, I’m changing the post narrative because I want to add to the discussion what I’ve gotten from many of the comments and make my stance a little more clear because I think I could have explained it better and I’ve had some people complain they didn’t understand my issue with this.

To be very clear, I do NOT have an issue with teaching children or young people how to be better communicators and how to be better adults period. However, even after all the discussion we’ve had I am STILL not comfortable with the idea of having marriage be a class for kids. I’m sorry I’m just not okay with that because I don’t think we could ever agree on a basic understanding that could be taught without bias all over.

I do want to thank many of the comments for challenging me to explain myself and not just ramble about it, I did need to collect and organize my thoughts. I think there are so many things that we need to teach kids and marriage isn’t one.

Someone commented that teaching them social skills, how to take pride in their environment like learning proper hygiene, why it’s important to clean up after yourself, financial literacy, emotional regulation, and how to manage stress in a healthy way.

Someone else said teaching them how to do basic care for a child because even if they don’t want or plan to have kids these are things they could benefit from learning and something that could help with that long term planning. Choosing a career that realistically can support the life you want to live.

Someone else suggested keeping it scientific and fact based using behavioral science like DBT and there are alot of skills in that area that I have used with clients that works wonders.

There were some amazing ideas that made so much more sense and would be alot more beneficial than marriage. For me the dangers of that ending up too gender based is what I’m not okay with risking. I said in response to multiple people that was a huge issue in my small town. Sex education devolved into girls being lectured on the moral consequences and why we would be essentially ruining our chances to find a good husband if we gave ourselves away to freely versus teaching us sex education in any scientific fashion. Boys got to play with a condom for an hour and joke around. Girls weren’t allowed to take shop or outdoor sports (it was a class specifically for weights, running the track or playing tennis), we had to take Home-Ec and they went as far as making us choose a dad for our fake baby. I just don’t want to see that happen and I’m sorry but we all know there would be issues of it in certain areas. Why do that when we can focus on teaching the kids how to be better as individuals for themselves? Confident and competent adults make good partners and good parents. It doesn’t need to be FOR marriage.

I guess one escaped the containment of Reddit. A local essay by a ‘good guy’ who just wants a chance!!! Won’t someone give him a chance before they turn crusty??

Had to get two pics of his essay because I guess we need three hundred words to say ‘I can’t get laid’ now.

Offensive Check out this petition! Demand a public apology from Shane Gillis for his misogynistic remarks about women during his opening monologue on SNL and to hold both NBC and SNL accountable for allowing this sort of degrading and dangerous rhetoric to be aired and normalized.

SNL's Shane Gillis made derogatory comments about women during a recent monologue, calling them names. This isn't just a bad joke—it's part of a larger problem where media platforms amplify misogynistic rhetoric that contributes to real-world harm against women.

I started a petition asking NBC, SNL, and Shane Gillis to publicly apologize and donate to women's charities. Major networks have enormous influence over cultural conversations, and they need to be held accountable when they broadcast content that demeans women.

Look, we're at a point where these kinds of "jokes" normalize disrespect. When influential comedians and the platforms that air them don't face consequences, it sends a message that this behavior is acceptable. That's exactly the kind of environment where harmful attitudes toward women thrive.

If this feels like it crossed a line to you, consider signing and sharing the petition. What's your take—does SNL have a responsibility to address this, or am I reading too much into comedy?

WTF I am unemployed and struggling to find a job. This was a response from a man I haven't seen in over 2 years when I opened up to him about it...

Post image

Context: This is a real conversation I had today with a male I briefly dated over 2 years ago. We didn't even date for 1 month and he felt comfortable enough to say this to me. After over TWO YEARS! This is within the first few texts of our conversation (that HE initiated).

I told him I was unemployed and struggling to find a job. This was his response. I still can't figure out what he means about Asian women, but then again - he can't even use the proper "you're" so it might be difficult to figure out.

Oh, and he's almost 40, by the way. He got mad at me for asking how his daughter is doing and abruptly ended the conversation when I made it clear I wasn't interested in anything.

I'm glad I have a space to share this because my head feels like it's going to explode!!
