DiscussionThe Kihnu... Europe's Last Matriarchy?
Just learned about them today... : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q5rO_ijlN0
Reminds me of the TIF I work with. She was holding a stuff plushie borrowed from one of the librarians because she wasn't feeling good and was talking in a...not exactly a baby voice but kinda like that. The frog voice makes it worse. Of course everyone was cooing her and I really wasn't having it.
You work with a TIF? As in, she's a patient in the psychiatric clinic you work at, or she's a ... colleague?
😱
This kind of infantile behaviour in your workplace makes me think she must be a patient, or client, of sorts, not a colleague, but from what I've read about genderspecials in the past ... makes me fear the worst.
LMAO yeah she is a colleague. I work at a library so I feel that area seems to attract a lot of genderspecials. She is a librarian and I have been studying her transition from a distance. So far, she just sounds like a frog and developed pretty bad rosacea on her face.
She seriously borrowed a stuff plushie in the workplace to cuddle it to make her feel better?
I ... can't even ...
Not that I'm the most normal person ever, but I at least try to behave professionally in the workplace. If I had a nervous breakdown, I'd rather, idk, excuse myself and go home than cuddle a plushie in front of my colleagues.
(Really, I would have found that embarrassing in primary school and I had plush animals in my bed when I started university. But, you know, at home.)
If I had a nervous breakdown, I'd rather, idk, excuse myself and go home than cuddle a plushie in front of my colleagues.
For real. If someone is so upset they can't function at work, they need to go home instead of expecting their co-workers to nanny them and have plushies at the ready. My kid's preschool doesn't baby people that much!
Cool, let's stop modifying language to protect feelings then. Women's issues and healthcare can exclusively reference women, lesbians can talk about how they find dick unappealing, and males can be addressed as such.
Darvo’s always in fashion with this crowd.
These are the dudes who would be abusive in relationships, but now that a lot more women are aware of the behavioural red flags in men and won’t date these creepy goofs, these men have turned “trans”, and advocate for a trans-ness being such a protected “class” that no one is allowed to call them out for their shit.
Is just another way of trying to get away with being abusive to women. They can get away with the “traditional methods”, so they’re pulling this shit.
Men’s depravity has no bounds
No, this isn't "DARVO" as some of the women here seem to think. To others this may look like DARVO, but I think it looks more like TROLLING. Many black women make this complaint about white people all the time. This is another example of TiMs stealing and repurposing the language used by (actual) marginalized groups in order to serve the interests of the dominant group: (mostly white) males who are so privileged by society that they get to flaunt their fetish all day long, even in front of children.
Part of the sick thrill for them is to do this blatantly (no doubt this particular TiM is a racist as well) and in a way that is so "on the nose" it's practically camp. They feel nothing but contempt for the people they are trolling and nothing brings them more sick joy than to watch a handmaiden slurp it all up like a complete idiot. For any handmaiden reading this: You are the butt of the joke, and he is winking at his mates the entire time.
It can be both DARVO and trolling. They get off on everything they do, including the DARVO. That's why they do it.
Only thin-skinned people complain about downvotes, scrote.
TiPs are the most weak-willed people on the internet.
Why do some [TIMs] need to be spoken to like children?
Instead of the truth, some things need to be toned down to be incredibly sensitive so that it doesn’t hurt any poor [TIM’s] feelings, when the statement is complaining about the [misogynistic] behaviors of many [TIMs].
Instead it needs to become “some [TIMs] are sometimes hostile, but that’s totally okay, we’ve [women] earned that hostility, so here’s what I’m gonna do to make it all right, okay?”
It’s pathetic. We can’t even say the truth, they are so sensitive to hearing it that we need to treat them like children. And that’s not enough, either, that’s just what they consider “fair play”. They will still disagree and mass downvote.
That’s what TIMs sound like.
I always appreciate your thoughtful commentary on these and this is no exception!
But wow if there was ever one that could be summed up in just a single word it’s this one - PROJECTION!
Identify as oppressed, can't grasp how that isn't a blank check to be abusive without pissing people off and encouraging them to stop humoring your entitled, batshit insane, high-effort demands to prioritize your comfort and whims over their own wants, needs, and rights.
You approach 'cis people' with the mentality of a North Korean dictator viewing his subjects/prisoners. Yes. You've earned the hostility fair and square, and that shines through in this comment alone, where you think any sign that people disagree with what you believe to be true or don't do whatever you tell them to means we 'need to be spoken to like children.' While your crew may be the most whiny, useless, self-centered, failure to launch chucklefucks in human history, royalty included. This was posted to a subreddit where a not insignificant percentage of subscribers are likely wearing diapers for 'fun' at any given moment.
Only a man would wonder why life isn't as smooth as he thought it would be as a woman....lol
Male entitlement won't fit well into women's world... it's almost like they must surely be against themselves and will all go up in an angry, petulant puff of smoke.
Some of them are soooo close to getting it in the comments. But they're wearing their TWAW glasses.
Is this DARVO AGAIN?
Like a fart in a phonebox, it never really goes away 🤣
Literally what the hell is he even talking about?
Is this idiot whining about being DOWNVOTED?
Talk about being a baby.
Sometimes I downvote people because they are whining that they got a downvote.
I downvote every single Reddit comment/post I come across where the author is whining about downvotes 😂
Hahaha, me too. Especially when there's been, like, one downvote. Calm the eff down.
For me it's "this is going to get super downvoted, but..." and it's the top comment
This is totally going to get super downvoted, what with how judgemental every single person is here, but I do that too.
Edit: omg who downvoted me :o
I downvoted you. Then I came back to the post to read your reaction. To my downvote. It brings me such joy, the evil that I do.
I am typing this from my chaise lounge, which I delicately swooned onto. I am literally shaking and crying rn.
If anyone cares, my GoFundMe is right here. It will help pay for the stuffed animals and manga I will need to get through this.
Same. Doesn't matter who they are/what the topic is.
[that got you an upvote]
Right? I was on the internet before everyone got banned for the mildest disagreement, and downvoting feels like a joke to me.
Och noes, someone does not like what I wrote, whatever will I do?
Like, for real.
Another site I'm on banned the downward thumb emoji reaction for posts because some people felt offended ... why are people such babies nowadays?
Back in my day, we had to deal with actual verbal insults, not some mild-mannered indication that someone is somewhat displeased with us.
(I mean, I'm not complaining about sites having a civil tone, I like that about Ovarit, but ... still, I've seen worse. Heck, I've seen worse in real life. How coddled must those people be?)
