Why do some guys not realise what being "creepy" is?

Came across a post where a guy narrates an incident of "betrayal" and being called a creepy stalker by his online reddit friend of 4 months.

Events:

- They shared personal details about their city and college

- She later admitted to having lied about the college, (which he had already discovered by some unnamed method btw) and he told her how hurt he was

- Later she said she hadn't been honest about her city either. He then proceeded to use whatever information she had given him in previous conversations and used to to track down her real hometown

- Initially, she said it's fine and later made a post calling him out before blocking

- He made a post to highlight the unfairness of the situation

Now tell me, for your own safety, had you hidden these personal details and discovered a random stranger from somewhere had managed to reverse engineer your life, would it not be a terrifying moment?

How much has society failed these men that they don't realise what a terrifying scenario this is for anyone?

Why we need Periods and Ponytails in India

An initiative that was started by podcasters Matthew Carter and Lawrence Price, this initiative aims at gathering dads in pubs through open invitations where they practice hair-styling (like ponytails and braids) and receive education on puberty and its challenges.

​

We really need workshops like this in India, especially for the modern parents. I see new Indian dads more willing to contribute to their daughter's lives but limited by knowledge because of the generation that raised them to believe that this was a woman's concern

​

It's a judgement free space, run by dads with daughters who answer questions about everything and teach them how to be a better part of their daughters' lives

​

Fathers are the first role models for most of us daughters. They set the tone for our expectations from other men around us. So when the little ones see how cherished they are, they will learn to never expect the bare minimum from anyone

​

And a Happy Father's day to all the dads!

Doctors must donate all their earnings to charity

This will help cement how noble our profession actually is. We must all only take the bare minimum required to survive, throw all the dreams we have to treat ourselves or our family/friends out the window cause that's selfish and undermines our profession.

​

You should live in squalor because the day you chose this field, you signed up to be the next paragon of humility and humanity, next only to saints and hermits who have renounced worldly pleasures.

How to run commander Lunox?

I usually get 4th or 5th cause I can't figure out how to maximise her potential

To start with, I have watched videos and don't need an intro to the basics. What I want to know is:

  1. At what level should I use the blessing, to ensure max utilisation of the shop refresh percent as well as not too late into the game where I have a line up already

  2. Let's say I use it at level 6, and it grants the other blessing than the one I needed. Do I change the lineup completely? Are we supposed to choose certain heroes to bless over others? Or is it just luck?

  3. Is there any specific commander I should ban (except Vale)

Currently playing Ruby, at Mythic so errors with new commanders are punished cause people are playing their best commanders.

P.s. Last question not related to Lunox. How tf do you guys get a three star 5 coin hero? I'm lucky if I reach 2 stars, and I've also never seen anyone get a 3 star hero 5 coin in game. And here you have multiple 3 star 5 coin heroes.

Subreddit Appreciation Post

I've been a part of many online spaces for women from about 2019 onwards. They all claim to be a safe haven for women and soon turn into either a cesspool of creeps chasing the audience or man hating craze fests.

This sub is genuinely one of the best I've been a part of in a while.

The moderators are extremely active, open to suggestions and review feedback on posts promptly. They have at many times removed creeps/pseudo feminists who have broken the rules, as well as posts which may have other implied intentions than discussing feminism. And, they keep the sub active by introducing concepts like the art ideas.

The audience here is mature, intelligent and capable of critical thinking. The debates are respectful, open minded and present POVs of all kinds with rare cases of uncivil behaviour which is called out and acted upon immediately. Those who say they are learning genuinely are, I've seen them get exposed to new ideas and accept new thought processes, as well as raise good questions which is fantastic.

The content is a good mix of thought provoking ideas, creative outlets, raising awareness and celebrating feminism in its truest sense.

It has been a happy couple of weeks here. Thank you for inviting me!

Why do many women defend abuse?

Recently came across and debated on a post

Tldr: A woman slapped her partner publicly, gifted a watch along with tears and apologies, and he decided to make up with her after one meeting

Most men were telling him, "what happens once can be repeated. This is disrespect from your partner. Ask her to get therapy for anger management (which had been an issue earlier as well)"

The concerning part? The comments from most women were summarised as

- Adorable relationship, it's so sweet you made up with her. She was so nice to

- Women have mood swings, so glad you forgave and understood her

- People here are jealous of your relationship

- Forgive and move on, therapy not needed etc

- You handled this maturely (he gave her a light slap in return, they decided she would humble herself to make up for his lost aura)

I was befuddled by this response from women. Why were so many rushing to justify this?

Celebrating women does not take away from men

A beautiful ad made for mothers (highlighting the roles a mom played in the lives of different athletes), and this is the reaction it gets on Mother's day.

Uplifting and praising moms does not mean diminishing the important roles that dads play. Praising women for their strength and the love with which they raise their children does not equal hating men.

There are children who grow up without the privilege of a mom or have one that has made their lives even worse, who grew up with dads or aunts or grandparents. Lovely ads about adoptive/found parents. Didn't see hate or jealousy under that by biological parents.

This wasn't made to target someone. It was just made to celebrate someone else. And we must learn to find joy in that. That's what being a feminist or a human means to me.

Just read a post about a "Santoor mom" and got into a debate with OP over the disingenuity of his post

Disguised as a post to ask about guys who share a friend dynamic with their moms, it described the idea of a "Santoor mom", who was young, fit, pretty, mistaken for a sister and looked about 20 at the age of 50

The worst part? There are guys in the comments talking about how these women are either amazing prizes or manipulative

When called out, I was accused of being jealous of these women and insecure about myself

Why are 20 something year old young men who supposedly worship their moms now creating such unrealistic standards for future ones?

Whether people are students/pgs/doctors, flairs should be necessary for commenting. From some responses I've read and received, there are people here who have no idea what this field is, because they aren't a part of it.

They are more than welcome to be part of the discussions of course, I value different insights but when you have no idea about the finer details and unfortunate politics of the field (the hierarchy among doctors themselves, to start with), please refrain from getting on your high horse and lecturing people who have the misfortune of being stuck, most often at the bottom.

We should get an idea at least of who is it that we're talking to. Someone in healthcare or someone who is just generally discussing a topic.
