What accessories do you like to rock?
For me it'd be my watch and retractable landyard with my charms💖

Emotional harm can be hard to name and easy to dismiss. We know when we've been physically hit, but emotional is really different. All sorts of things can cause emotional harm... what can we do to protect ourselves from it?

WOMEN ONLY COMMUNITY MEN PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT

I totally get the joke, and Pedro can only be a good thing (huge fan, pray daily that he adopts me). But I do understand why some men would find it insulting. What's your thoughts?

Womens friendships breaking up can be painful, a relief, or just plain messy. What was the thing that ruined one of yours?

It's literally the most natural thing in the world to equate reproductive effectiveness to worth. All life is "worth" their reproductive effectiveness. So not having sex is very relevant to our entire existence as a species.

As such, our mental faculties put a heavy punishment in the form of mental pain, i.e. "self-worth attached to getting laid", on this whole thing.

This has very little to do with societal expectations. It's simple biology. Not getting laid is supposed to be one of the worst things for an organism.

You're rationally right with what you say, but it's simply not very relevant. Rationality does not help with our most deeply rooted biological desires. The only thing that helps is getting them fulfilled, i.e. having sex."

From the Blackpill incel thread

I can't tell I'm just too ace to comprehend this. Is this a thing? Do women feel this? I argued it's more of a "societal expectation" thing and was countered with.. this.

Not saying this user is wrong, I just am having a difficult time understanding this.

"Our most deeply rooted biological desires" has me squinting real hard. Do women feel this way, too? Idk I'm absolutely confused af

EDIT: Please do NOT brigade the blackpill thread. No touch. Seriously.

Realization achieved: it's not an incel discussion thread: it's now an incel defense thread. What a fuckin' waste ffs..

The stock image/thumbnail shows an icing piping bag, but I just dumped the rest of my body lotion into a ziplock bag, cut a tiny hole in the corner and squeezed it into the other half-filled lotion bottle.

I couldn't find a funnel, which in hindsight would have taken muck longer to decant and I wanted to share.

Women have a tendency to focus on our negatives. What are 3 positive words you'd use to describe yourself?

We often have a terrible relationship with our weight. We're too fat, too thin, our weights on the wrong part of our body etc. How much does your weight bother you?

Please don't post your weight, numbers can be triggering for people with a history of disordered eating

Feel free to share your recommendations here! I’d be super grateful for suggestions for high-quality colorful or alt makeup items.

Anyone got any cool shoelace hacks or styles they want to share or try?

My work is up and down like a yoyo at the moment, to help avoid doom scrolling during quiet patches I've decided to start reading (nobody at work is going to pay attention to plain text on my screen, we're all in the same boat).

I've got a copy of Naomi Altman's The Power to start off with ... any other recommendations?

(Obviously can't be anything smutty or very funny because I need to be low-key, and lighter stuff would be easier to pick up and put down when I have actual work to do)

Thanks in advance :-)

I think we can safely assume that any woman, anywhere, who has public photos available and who says something that upsets a man (right or left) will have deepfake porn made of her.

It's funtime Friday! We're playing never have I ever. It's simple, people comment saying something they've never done. Others reply saying if they have, and posing their own never have I ever.

There's certain things that are seen as classically female. Shopping, kids, crafting, gossip etc are all seen as women's stuff, but we dont all like them. What classically female things do you like?

I’ve never done makeup before, even my own, but I’d like to start learning. The sheer amount of options is a bit overwhelming though. What are your favorite tutorials (YouTube videos or channels, etc) for makeup, especially the basics?

women's only community please only comment if you identify as female or non binary

Far more adult women are murdered by adult men than vice versa. Women are high risk for violence and sexual abuse. We often face bullying at work.

What would help women's safety?

I was looking at the offer of rehearsal.so, a site using AI to allegedly help you rehearse giving job interviews, delivering presentations and such.

A LOT of the content is sociopathic in nature and there are a lot of simulations for "getting her number", but the top offer in the Dating section is this one "getting her number in the middle of a protest".

I think this highlights well the real problem of digital technology in general and of the generative AI domain in particular: applications are being made by selfish people (men, mostly) who think that any situation should serve their goals and that the original point of those can be completely disregarded.

All of this while surely serving a sub-par product, since "training" and condescending AI chatbots don't really go well together: nearly all of the AI chats I had with AI "characters" could be easily jailbroken even into sexual ones.

The founders and other info can be found here.

Be patient for about 40 seconds. I think the payoff is worth it.

The official title is given above, but I like to call it instead "Song To Fuck With Foreign Perception".

《凌宵话》 is a musical toast to friendship, urban life, and the delightful weirdness that comes from bringing different backgrounds together. It’s playful, heartfelt, and a little bit cheeky—just like the singers themselves. (Both singers are known to be boundary-pushers and just a little bit "off" in their approach to things.)

To explain the video, it's two friends: one native-born Shanghai, one outsider to Shanghai, playfully teasing each other over their different upbringings, habits, etc. This divide is emphasized by one (Huang) singing in the Wu dialect of Shanghai while the other (Lou) singing in Mandarin. They're playfully making fun of how each does things differently, but the chorus hits the core of the song:

“No matter where you’re from, you’re my sister, and we’ll always have each other in this big city.”

So go watch the video before you open the spoiler. Think about what the video is trying to communicate. Then read the explanation.

So why did I put it in WomensStuff? Because I really did not need to hear the male view of the singers and how they look. 😂
