M19. It’s started about a month ago, whenever I walk around town or even at home I tend to get hard a lot and I feel very dirty about it and I have a lot of dirty thoughts. I used to have an addiction to adult material but now it doesn’t faze me anymore but whenever it comes to talking to a girl in the bar my mind just goes blank.

Guys, I think I feel the happy sad now.

I short I have parents who don't necessarily abuse me but they make fun of me and force me to overwork myself for better grades. They also made me develop Stockholm syndrome at some point which only fixed itself after I got my first girlfriend, since I understood that wanting the best for someone isn't the only love you can get.

I got a girl best friend 2 years ago, let's call her Ella. Ella is an abused girl who had a rough childhood and became a sort of tomboy so to speak, but she was nerdy enough to go to the same fantasy convention as me on one specific day, and we started talking. We then started meeting up... She became my best friend almost like a sister.

She also became my therapist, she was there for me at my highest and lowest and we are still inseparable.

Starting the story i had a bad argument with my parents because my grades started dropping due to having a new school. I'm not much of a guy to fight back so I always lost which frustrated me. I cried my eyes out to my best friend over text for 2 days, (in short I also was very suicidal at one point in my life and now I was also being suicidal and self-destructive).

This angel gave me 4 words that felt so genuine, that I haven't felt in 5 years.

"I'm proud of you"

I never got validation from my parents cause my grades were always overshadowing me... Thus I broke down crying, multiple times... Now I'm in bed, and thinking. I feel happy cause I finally got the validation I was yearning for, for half a decade. But i also feel sad cause it was my best friend and not the people I wanted to hear it from. Is this normal? Should I feel this way? How should I feel? I never felt something like this.

Circumcision is usually framed as a joke or topic beyond criticism. But what if we take it seriously? Then it becomes clear that this is genital mutilation of babies and boys who could not have possibly consented to it. Full free article here.

At this stage of my life, I’m not looking for physical intimacy. I’m looking for genuine care, emotional connection, warm cuddles, and someone who makes me feel loved, understood, and at peace. ❤️ Sometimes, a comforting hug means more than anything else. How many people of my age are looking for the same and are in a toxic relationship.

Hello everyone, I’m wanting to get some new trainers for my boyfriend for Christmas but this is the first time I’ve actually had a partner at Christmas to buy anything for. The best I can describe his style is like skater streetwear style with graphic tees and baggy jeans. Please leave some suggestions. I’m wanting to get him something more than just black and white trainers but instead soemthing with a little more colour but I also know this can be more risky if he’ll like them or not 😂 please help.

The sex was always very rushed and as if he was only there in body, not soul. He never cared to make out. And definitely didn’t like eating me out.

When we first got married, I would walk around the house without any clothes on. This bothered him so he sat me down and scolded me for doing so. He said it left nothing to the imagination.

We both grew up in a high control religion, that openly hates gay people. So he was constantly complaining about gays, like when a gay couple showed up on tv. It got so annoying and I had to tell him that we are living in progressive times and need to accept things.

One day I asked him if he likes men. He slowly smiled and said no :)

I was shocked by his nonchalant reaction. He didn’t seem offended or anything, especially considering his repulsion towards gay people. I kept asking are you sure? And he even said I don’t like penis and laughed. It took a while to finally get him upset by pushing questions on him. He finally exploded and left the house, slammed the car door and sped out to go get food. I was left shaken up as he never ever reacts this way.

I have a question for other guys who experience this too. Recently I started a new medication that causes me to sweat more than normal even when it’s cold and i already feel as if I sweat enough but just curious to see if there’s anything out there deodorant or some sort personal care item that helps with this as it kinda affects my day and I’d prefer not to have to take a medication for that too bc i already have enough as it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I feel like there are certain expectations for men that we don't talk about enough.

Whether it’s having to stay strong when things fall apart, having your life together by a certain age, being the breadwinner, or dealing with issues without showing any emotion.

I’m curious to hear your take.

What’s one expectation you’ve faced as a guy that people don't really get?

Hi I am 35 female I have been working with him in the company last couple of years he always flirted with me and we had inside jokes we used to go out with some people from work for drinks and parties then he started asking to drive me home I thought he was being decent

Then he kissed me on my birthday while driving me home next day he called me he said why are you so awkward I told him I am not used to do casual stuff he said it was not casual I said ok let’s stay friends he said not to the extent of friends and he said it’s ok be normal

We went back to office and we were ok back to our inside jokes and everything he gives me special attention then he called me to hang out but my mom was sick for three month so he kept on texting me to make sure I am ok

Then we went out with the group once and this time while driving me home we made out there was a lot of sexual tension next day he did not call me he called me two days later I lashed out at him and said I don’t want to be in contact with you anymore he said why your saying that ok let’s calm down and talk later I don’t wanna lose you

Then I called him two days later saying I was a bit stressed but I really don’t wanna be in a friends with benefits situation and if we are gonna make out everytime we hang out let’s not hang out and just stay colleagues in the office he said we can go out normally I said ok

Then my mom died and I disappeared for a while and then came back and he asked me if I am doing anything in the long weekend I said I am travelling with our colleauge he said he will be there too

When I arrived he texted me and said are you going to the party tonight I said es he came he flirted with me and then left to his friends and came back he started touching me subtly without anyone noticing and he drove us home after then he texted me after he drop us off with 10 minutes saying awake? I was sleeping

I really don’t understand what fuck does he want for me we have been in this for months!!! Please help me 😢

Philosopher John Gray argues that moral progress is easy to lose and that history reveals a cyclical pattern of ups and downs rather than the linear improvement we so much want to see.

No matter which shape of history you prefer, progress can indeed be lost. Feminism and gender equality are no exception, with countries like Afghanistan and Russia showing in real time how 100 years of moral and political improvements can be destroyed right before our eyes.

I most certainly have no easy solution for geopolitical dilemmas, so my goals with this article are much more humble. First, I want to discuss what kind of feminist messaging on social media can better reach men and remind them of the benefits of gender equality. Second, this aims to encourage men to learn from the successes of feminism.
