This is brilliantly said. I repeat for emphasis: "... there’s an almost autistic fixation on fairness when it comes to getting to do extracurricular activities [...] couples seem to find parity by doing absolutely nothing..." It's completely true. I remember my Russian friend in the military was always talking about this, about how in Russia, American men are viewed as being hopelessly effeminate and pistol-whipped by their wives, and that for him, it was the only negative stereotype he heard about Americans as a kid that seemed to be 100% true... Yet when I say to my married friends, "let's go out for a beer," it's as if I've asked them to broker a nuclear arms deal... I am sorry to ask but what sort of men are these? For society to function, men must have a sufficient amount of liberty to spend extended periods of unscripted, non-work-related time amongst other men, and this element of a manly life is so important it should functionally preclude men from all domestic motherly roles... The Mexicans, the Italians, the Irish, they understand these things. Very rich and very poor men appear to as well. But for some reason most middle-class white American men are caught in this weird, "carceral domesticity" at the behest of their niggling wives. I am not trying to sound "red pilled" here, and have never cared for that scene at all -- but frankly I find this whole thing to be bizarre, repulsive, and completely at odds with a civilized conception of both family and society.

Idk what it’s called but I don’t like when people style their hair that looks ancient and biblical like they were herding sheep like why do you look like Mary and Joseph

I remember reading some Reddit post years ago, a woman talked about having a sister who was much more beautiful than her. And it was hard, but she had mostly made her peace with it. But then she described her fiancé meeting the sister one day and like visibly having his eyeballs shoot out of his head in awe. I can’t deny I would have a terrible time with this, maybe a small upside to not having a sister :/

Friend in MIAMI ran this test today… What matters more for men on dating apps: height or looks? 5’6 handsome guy vs. 6’3 unattractive guy. 5’6 guy: 14 likes 6 matches 3 replies 0 gave number 6’3 guy: 25 likes 11 matches 7 replies 2 gave number, others seemed close Apparently the face card can decline if you’re tall on apps… Short kings taking a L in Miami.

What do I gotta do to get my splits damn it!!!

A woman who chooses a medicated birth is unlikely to be a woman who chooses to work on her abs in the gym. Back pain is weak abs.
