The comments on this post defending the driver seriously alarm me. There is no reason to excuse this kind of behaviour regardless of where the driver lives. If they don't have public transit she can damned well walk! No one's life is less important than her driving privileges. People have a RIGHT to life, it is a PRIVILEGE to drive. Get your heads on straight!

I agree with all of that in every way.

They are asking because kids are kids no matter where you live. If we use the same word for the dish as Italians, it stands to reason that children who are still learning would have the same issue regardless of location.

Calling it toxic masculinity isn't victim blaming. Men are victims to toxic masculinity every day and it isn't because they have a "toxic personality", it's because the "masculine" image and roles in society they are expected to uphold are toxic.

The opinions of "neo feminists" are not what is typically held true either. Very few people think that way.

If you have a public transit system you can use Google maps to tell you exactly where to go and how to get there, including bus transfers. Unfortunately it does not show how far away the bus is like the transit app does, but it is better at communicating when I have to leave and how long I have to get to my stop.

But the government doesn't regulate capitalism, they are owned by the capitalists. So many laws exist because corporations paid for them to, moreso in recent years but it was still bad 50+ years ago, just look at how successful the tobacco industry is.

Then this wasn't intended for you.

I don't mean to put myself in the place of anything - I just meant that the better course of action is to find improvement rather than fault. It's a situation where being able to put the blame on something does nothing to improve the situation. We're lonely because there are too many people is all.

There's a lot of people at fault for things in my life and if I worried about blaming them, I wouldn't have had the time to get educated and grow as a human so that I could move past the things they are at fault, I was just trying to broaden that idea into something more general.

I am sorry you had to experience that, but it is very insightful and aware to know that your trauma would affect the perception. Most would gloss over that.

Not saying this about you specifically ( I don't know if you have things about you that you don't like), but people who have things they don't like about themselves also have a tendency to see criticism and insults about that particular thing where there are none. Like I used to be really over weight, so anytime anyone made jokes about something being large or about pigs or cows, I would internalize that and assume it was about my fatness because I hated that about myself.

Maybe I am, I really wouldn't know (my husband would though). If I am I would deal with it iand improve myself nstead of blaming it on others.

If you are referring to yourself as an incel then there is likely a regressive mindset that goes with it. Most people just call themselves single. Sexual status is a construct, whether it be virgin or "promiscuous". Unlikable men choose incel so that they can blame their lack of sex on the people not giving it to them.
