Don’t give it up, Novie!

@meetimeeti You don’t have to be good at art to enjoy making it. If you’re expressing yourself visually, you’re an artist! Congratulations!

@Lingerielover61 Arguing, yes. Ignoring a dangerous situation because they “deserve” it? That is NOT a friend. A friend has your back. They are about give and take, but it matters WHAT you are giving and taking. If you’re giving punishments and taking insult, you can’t expect to keep friends.

@ArtofNovember Any relationship is about give & take..

With friends like him who needs enemies. 😒

(and their fathers suck for a bunch of reasons, it’s definitely not just their moms or anything!!!)

@SoFeeAh01 In my experience, men like this often have mothers who were raised to believe other women are her enemies, only there to steal her man or her sons. x_x; bad all around.

The number of these types of messages I get of dudes calling me all kinds of names, threatening all kinds of things. They are always quick to blame it on alcohol and drugs though. Like none of those things create those thoughts in your head, they just make it easier to say.

@ConfidentDogue 😆 Found the guy.

Can not wait for the AI lovebots to come. Phew.

@ddreamer9159 😂 They just automatically assume that any woman without a husband considers herself a failure. Nah. It’s not the weak spot he thinks it is.

@ask_aubry These people keep threatening women with a good time. Idk why they keep going on and on like even as a guy sitting with ice scream watching my favorite movie would definitely be the highlight of my week

@BrianGCN @ojiugonwaa @ladiowolabi @UjuAnya People have tumors with teeth in them. Some even have partially developed organs inside. Won’t somebody think of those poor murdered tumors?

@ojiugonwaa @ladiowolabi @UjuAnya The teeth stuff is an analogy to show how simplistic the heart argument is… The fact that the fetus doesn’t have a heart like adult humans doesn’t make them less human… Same way the fact that babies don’t have teeth like adult humans doesn’t make them less human.

Many of us who did ultrasound at 6-9 weeks pregnancy heard a “heartbeat.” It wasn’t a heartbeat. An embryo doesn’t have a heart. We heard the ultrasound machine converting electrical pulsing or throbbing from a tube in the embryo into a magnified sound people call a “heartbeat.”

@achbob @ask_aubry GROSS. These guys really have no concept of sexual violation. Only “sex make pp happy”.

@ask_aubry GAH, this reminds me of when my male friend ran away when he saw me get groped in a club then asked me afterwards if I'd enjoyed it 🤢.

@Lingerielover61 Arguing is not the same thing as punishment.

@TinyMonster20 @ask_aubry Friends like couples must disagree on occasion it’s healthy… When someone says we never argue I say get a good divorce lawyer!!

@bibliothequette @Rjs11123 I wonder how long until the story becomes “she was just crazy”.

@Le1n @ask_aubry That walk home must have been hell.

@ask_aubry It’s especially chilling that in the end OP probably never even realised just how terrifyingly unsafe Charlotte felt. Not just by the assault itself, but also by the "not all men" (a friend no less) standing by, ignoring. That's way too common. That's also rape culture.

@HenriHartWrites @ask_aubry $5 says he said something gross himself and she called him out.

@ask_aubry I don't know what argument I could have with a friend that would be so bad I'd want them to endure sexual harassment.

@shanjanath It sucks a lot.

"I'm curating my space ✨️" cool but you're also giving friends no small amount of trauma and trust issues, dumb dumb, have some tact.

probably not a popular opinion, but if you're the type of person to cut a friend off without trying to communicate, you probably need therapy just as much as you think that friend you just cut off does

@Josh_7386 @ask_aubry Compatibility beats out attraction. If you have things in common and like talking to eachother, that’s a great starting place for a relationship. Everybody ages and nobody will be beautiful forever, but we can always be happy with the right person.

He doesn't need a girlfriend, he needs therapy. If an INCEL like him does get a GF his misogyny doesn't just vanish into thin air, it gets focused and targeted.

@MerriwynMoon @yoganaraska JESUS that’s horrifying! Imagine it doesn’t work. Now you have serious mental health issues still but they all now come secondary to someone else’s needs. More like “pop out a child so you don’t have the time to talk about your mental illness, because we don’t like hearing it”.

“Surgeons just hand out gender surgery” I, a 31 yr old adult, just had to ask 4 other adults for 4 separate letters to send another adult for permission to even CONSIDER giving me surgery. In Cali. I also have to lose 40 more lbs & I’ve been living as a man since I was a…

@palnki @AConcussed @KatenCheyenne @rmvirtues Oh, there’s a very good reason for that! It’s because not a damn thing has been “taken away” from the majority.

@AConcussed @KatenCheyenne @rmvirtues You guys always have so much empathy for the minority who make bad decisions but never give that same energy to the majority who have their rights stolen from them to "protect" the minority

@SensibleMan001 @Bambertolina @Ghosty02772504 @therealevel1 @ask_aubry @facebook No, because women know that compatibility isn’t about an arbitrary score. 😂

She unmatched him on Bumble and he had to get that last word in... 🙄

blocked me for what? 😆 You can’t act like it’s not racist to assume people in another country are too stupid to know how to dress without dying.

@Lorien78 @ask_aubry Do you really think they wouldn’t know how to dress seasonally in their own home country? That they’re honestly too stupid to dress their own children? You get why that’s a problem, I know you do.

To all the people who often ask when a woman is assaulted, "But what was she wearing though"....
