Agee

AITB for cutting my friend off for dating a 19 year old at 25?

LOL WUT. I just do not understand why so many people seem to think people with relatively-minor age differences are completely different species. No, I did not date or attempt to date any of them, but I had plenty in common with the 20ish-year-old interns at a previous job — more in fact than I did with co-workers my own age. Because I don’t like golf, don’t like to talk about my mortgage or my (non-existent) health problems, etc. And am up on contemporary music, culture, and the like. I had absolute tons more in common with the intern I was mentoring than the 40- and 50-year-old dudes sitting on either side of me. We basically had nothing to share at all except we were close to the same age. Nothing at all.

In this case it’s obviously just extreme jealousy that the dude chose not to date her. As is often — perhaps most often — the case.

Contra Contra

Agreed.

And even though we were called “insane” for saying it at the time by bien pensant pseudo-liberals, the main point of banning abortion was to attack and then eliminate contraception and to roll back women’s freedom in the sexual and other realms.

Imp Prison

Red states are going to become such hellholes. Everyone thinks I’m exaggerating but it’s gonna be very, very bad. A lot of them will be essentially large open-air impoverished authoritarian prisons in 10-20 years.

Leave now. Not “when things get bad.” Then it’s already too late. Now is the time.

Vile Ents

It’s weird that all men are seen by women as default violent and dangerous when all I personally have ever done is defend women against violence and have never intentionally harmed a woman who wasn’t extremely violently attacking me with intent or potential to greatly harm or kill me — and even then, I held way, way back in a way that I never would have with a man.

Too many women see men as ever-violent sex robots and that really kinda sucks.
