I hate this so much.

I don’t think any movie will make me feel the same ethereal sense of otherworldly sorrow and disembodied awe as that scene in Lord of the Rings where the loyal son is sent off into a doomed battle to please his vindictive father while Pippin sings a mourning song of his people

I was like 12 and high off this shit

Learning English, nothing baffled me quite as much as learning that the English-speaking world only uses 12 hours and separates them into 'ante meridiem' and 'post meridiem'. One, the day has 24 hours, surely people can count up to 24? Two, that's extra Latin you need to remember to add to every hour (don't even start me on the phrase "o'clock", which is perfectly confusing and opaque to non-native speakers!). Three, why would you have to think twice (or three, or four time) if midnight is 'a.m.' or 'p.m.' (same goes for midday/noon, tbh) when you could simply use "00:00" and "12:00" >_<. I used to find that charming, like most oddities of the English language - now I just find it annoying and backwards.

if you want to or have a reason you use one instead of the other add it. I know it is most commonly used in the military and at hospitals (and I think some countries just use the 24 hour clock)

an adaptation of the Beowulf Intro

[stressed syllables are bolded]

Aight, here’s the hype | of those ice-cold kings of the Danes of the Spear | in Days that are Spent the greats in the grave | the people gave props to. Shield son of Sheath | fought the fiercest to begin at the bottom | but die as a don. He knew that he needed | to rev up his rep so he fought like a fiend | and overturned tables menacing enemies | till they knew his name, and their tribes were in terror | and they gave him gold from behind their borders. | that was a good king!

One, I don't see either shock or offence in the OP's tone. Disbelief and surprise, yes, as they are explicitly asking their audience to confirm their observations but hardly pearl clutching or rage.

Second, you're forgetting that vasectomies are 90-something percent reversible and minimally invasive whereas tubal ligation is neither of these. For a hetero couple making a decision of not reproducing anymore while (presumably) still wanting to have PIV sex from time to time without fear of contraception failing (as both pills and condoms do sometimes), it just follows that vasectomy is the best option for both parties.

So, in all, to my eyes, the OP is commenting, with some surprise, on the outrage that a perfectly rational decision made by the two of them has stirred. How that offends the tenets of feminism, I still fail to see. I thought people making informed choices about their bodies and relationships was one of those.

Men are selfish, bad, oppressive Alpha Males when they don't want to make themselves infertile.

Also, of course women have the right to pressure men into getting vasectomies; bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom is for women only, apparently.

Feminism win!

Erm, one -- I think what the OP's story glosses over/takes for granted and you have not considered is that the OP getting tubal ligation (i.e. making a permanent decision about her fertility without having to involve her husband's bodily autonomy) is simply impossible to procure in most places -- or so I've inferred from countless stories and comments in social media. I'm sure you know as well as I do the reasoning behind this procedure being denied to people of reproductive age with uteruses/ovaries. Hint: it's not feminism.

Two, there's no mention anywhere of her pressuring her husband into getting the procedure - considering my first point, I imagine it was the only sensible option for them, and she's actually commending his stance on this in the face of the (silly, sexist and patriarchal) backlash he's been getting for being a responsible partner. So I'm really, really not getting where your bitterness comes from.

Men are selfish, bad, oppressive Alpha Males when they don't want to make themselves infertile.

Also, of course women have the right to pressure men into getting vasectomies; bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom is for women only, apparently.

Helpful chart for telling which Tolkien character you’re looking at iconography-style! Made this on MindMap (and if I missed someone please tell me! Sauron having to be in multiple categories because of just how many hair colors he’s drawn with amuses me a lot)

"if you want to cancel me" lmfao that's not a thing you're just fragile in the face of disagreement

... said Brave Sir Nonny from the safety of their anonymity :D. Also, basic reading comprehension, get some - I said in no unclear terms that if you wish to cancel/block me for any reason, feel free to do so without tellling me. Because I simply don't care and people like you aren't capable of having a legitimate and halfway decent dispute about anything. Might have to do with your abysmal reading comprehension, I dunno.

Coolest thing about lord of the rings? The king of horses shows up. It appears he is no different from all other horses

100% agree. Bathrooms should be wholly integrated and the only separation should be into stalls with toilet bowls and urinals. If someone is intent on perpetrating abuse and/or assault on another, they're not going to be deterred by a silly sign on the door.

vent post. There are two stories i was told in my teenage years that even before i had a real concept of trans issues made me uninterested in discussing the supposed sacredness and safety of separated sex-based spaces.

First, when i was like 13 or 14 my PE teacher told us about a time she went to a women's public restroom, some guy was hanging out outside the bathrooms, she didn't think anything of it, went to the bathroom, and he walked in after her and like, creeped on her over the top of the stall. She was ok, she wasn't telling us this to scare us, just telling us what to do in situations like that (and iirc she was telling the whole co-ed class this, not just girls, bc it's useful for everyone), but this taught me immediately and forever that there's nothing actually keeping these spaces separate really, that anyone can be a creep in any space, and that establishing a space like that as for women only isn't actually particularly useful for safety.

Second, when i was 16 i was at an anime convention, a friendly acquaintance of mine and i ended up in conversation outside, and he showed me his bare wrist and told me he'd been kicked out. A female friend of his had stepped in dog poop outside, and between that and the stress of the convention she'd had a bit of an emotional breakdown, so being her friend, he started comforting her and ushered her into the women's restroom so they could wash the poop off her shoe together. And because he was a man who went into the women's bathroom, he got kicked out, no matter that he was doing something that was actually beneficial to a woman. Punishing a woman's friend for supporting her was supposed to... protect her somehow? This made it clear to me that a no-exceptions rule separating the sexes like that wasn't actually inherently good for everyone.

And this isn't even getting into me as a child needing to accompany my younger sister to the restroom when we were out with just my dad because she had certain support needs past the age he felt comfortable bringing her into the men's room with him. And what if I'd been born a boy, or she'd been the first born? Who's helping her then?

And of course even putting all this aside, we should always prioritize compassion and support anyway. But i never even needed to meet a trans person to know that "keeping men out of women's bathrooms" is silly nonsense. But trans people also need to pee anyway and as humans they have that right, so leave them the fuck alone. your precious women's restroom is just a fucking room with a door, holy shit give it a fucking rest, if someone is attacking you in the bathroom that's bad and if someone is in there to pee that's good and it doesn't fucking matter what their junk is or was when they were born.

a woman could have done the exact same thing to my PE teacher and it would have also been bad no matter how "supposed" to be in the restroom she was, and no one should ever be punished for helping a crying friend wash their shoe.

Anyway i know I'm speaking to like-minded folks here, i just think about those two stories literally every time bathroom gender shit comes up and it pisses me off.

tfw you see some stupid post that paints medieval peasants eating just plain grey porridge and acting as if cheese, butter or meat was too exotic or expensive for them, and have to use all your inner strength to not just reblog it with an angry rant and throwing hands with people. so i will just post the angry rant here

no, medieval people did not only eat grey porridge with no herbs or spices, they had a great variety of vegetables we dont even have anymore, grains and dairy products, not to mention fruits and meats, all seasonal and changing with the time of the year. no, medieval food was not just tasteless, maybe this will surprise some of you but you can make tasty food without excessive spice use, and can use a variety of good tasting herbs. if you'd ever tried to cook some medieval recipes you would know that. medieval people needed a lot of energy for their work, if they would only eat fucking porridge all of the time they would get scurvy and die before they could even built a civilisation. they had something called 'pottage' which was called that because it was cooked in one pot. you could leave the pot on the fire and go about your day, doing stuff and come back to a cooked meal. they put in what was available that time of the year, together with grains, peas, herbs, meat etc etc. again, if you would try to make it, like i have with my reenactment friends, it can actually be really good and diverse.

dont confuse medieval peasants with poor people in victorian england. dont think that TV shows what it was really like. dont think that dirty grey dressed people covered in filth were how the people looked like.

they made use of everything. too poor to buy proper meat? buy a sheeps head and cook it. they ate nettle and other plants we consider weeds now. they foraged and made use of what they found. hell, there are medieval cook books!

most rural people had animals, they had chickens (eggs), goats (milk and dairy), cows (milk and dairy), sheep (milk and dairy) and pigs (meat machine), and after butchering they used ALL THE PARTS of the animal. you know how much meat you can get out of a pig, even the smaller medieval breeds? the answer is a lot

if you had the space you always had a vegetable garden. there are ways to make sure you have something growing there every time of the year. as i said they had a variety of vegetables we dont have anymore due to how farming evolved. you smoked pork in the chimney, stored apples in the dry places in your house, had a grain chest. people could go to the market to buy fish and meat, both fresh and dried/smoked. they had ale, beer and wine, that was not a luxury that was a staple part of their diet.

this post ended once again up being longer than i planned, but please for the love of the gods, just actually educate yourself on this stuff and dont just say stupid wrong shit, takk
