Don't have a gun, but I plan to buy something small. Does anyone have anything small they'd reccomend?

Isn't there a baby Glock (Glock 43?)

However the most important thing will be to train with it regularly. not just leave it in your bag and forget about it.

I consideredd filing for a shotgun license which you can do in the uk but the police basically told me you cant even use it in self defence if a fucking intruder is in your home, i hate this fucking country and wanna move to the usa asap

My home was recently trespassed on by some punks who tried to steal my fucking motorbike

>>12006
if you do actually ever intend to move to the usa just make sure you know the gun laws in the states you look at. in places like nj you would also get convicted for “standing your ground” - you’re expected to retreat before using deadly force. i fucking hate this country

Remember to follow rules and regulations for guns in your area. If not, you're only causing more problems for yourself. Remember, the goal is self preservation and safety, and that includes being taken under custody from the law.

Honestly I’m at the point where I don’t desire cohabitation anymore not only for safety reasons and avoiding unfair responsibilities but because I genuinely love living on my own. Being able to decorate exactly how I want, go to bed/eat/do chores on my own schedule, blasting loud music or having it perfectly quiet, walk around naked and do a stupid dance without being ogled, and just generally having my own little sanctuary is bliss. I’ve known a handful of long-term couples that don’t live together but are in the same neighborhood and honestly that sounds ideal to me. Being able to spend time together whenever you want but also having a separate sense of peace and security. If your bf has a goal of eventually cohabitating with a partner maybe it’s not a good fit, but it’s not “unfair” of you to prefer having your own space either.

>>4684
That’s good to hear he’s so supportive! Just based on what you’ve written here it sounds like the desire to leave is coming more from that place of trauma rather than a well-reasoned plan. It would be one thing if you acknowledged you needed to do certain actions to heal which could only be completed alone, but obviously feeling suicidal is not part of a healthy outlook. Feeling good at least some of the time is still progress. You’re right that it’s not easy, but if the rational side of you knows you’ve got a good thing going on I think it would be a shame to throw it away because you don’t want to be a burden. It’s good to take responsibility for yourself but remember your bf is an adult capable of making his own decisions, and if he’s repeatedly saying you’re worth it to him, then he’s one of those good voices you ought to allow to stay to combat the negative ones.

You've described how I feel too. I've heard of married couples living across the road from each other and whilst I get it doesn't make financial sense, it makes sense in every other way to me. Now that I finally have my own space, I'm never giving it up for a man again.

Well my trauma stems from how my mom treated me and raised me (and the way it shows up looks very similar like on OP's pic >>4157 ) but I feel it also projected on my choice of love.

I used to be quite lovesick and when I would meet a guy that was attractive to me and also clicked with my personality and interests, I would fall in love fast.

But these scrotes (all two of them that I dated lol) turned out to be abusive and in way that reflected my own mother's abuse. Making me feel inadequate through various actions such as - small comments of comparing me to more attractive women, going hot and cold and withholding attention for no apparent reason (not answering text messages), gradually more criticism because I was not reflecting their flavor of the month, annoyed with me if I needed a bit more that day and then showering me with attention when I would shut down.

Anyway I went to a therapist and started processing all of that. As I was processing issues with my mother, my whole perception of myself and the world started shifting, I realized I didn't want to be in relationship for some time. As I was about to break it off, I found out he was cheating anyway so I guess the whole process was quicker. (He tried to reel me in back but by that time I was completely in a different mindset and I could see it for what it was).

And that was my last relationship which happened 3 years ago. In the meantime I stopped being lovesick and I am put off by the thought of getting back to dating world.
I feel like I am rebuilding my own life brick by brick and there is 0 energy to try and start something with someone. Maybe because both my experiences were bad, maybe because what I hear from friends and acquaintances relationships it is equally as bad or even worse.

As long as I have good platonic relationships with people around me, I'm fine.

>>4447
literally this

i’ve neither the time nor mind to humiliate myself by gallivanting about market square with a member of the inferior sex and neither should you

Yeah, exactly. I associate the casualization of pedophilia more with Japan when it comes to East Asia, but it really is coddling men for everything which is the root problem everywhere. Explains why most men these days are losers kek.

The refugee males in my country eat the babyfood aid themselves because they think it will increase their “sexual prowess.”

It likely escalated fighting back an forth

feminist group in the DRC organising and fighting to protect women. “We want any woman who has been attacked to find her peace”
a great example of how a small oppressed group of women who band together can create a big change. they've got a long way to go but their voices are finally being heard

(fuck the article for calling it gender-based violence though)

bellingcat just released an article on how to identify signs of sexual violence esp. in videos/photos of conflict areas https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/2023/03/03/sexual-and-gender-based-violence-open-source-researche-osint-digital/

I wish all women would do this when they find out their scrotes messages underage girls

My bad lol

mfw i stayed with a guy even after he confessed to accepting nudes from a 17 year old . Massive L I wish I left then and there

anyone have any good podcast or video recs?

One thing I find disconcerting is gender critical feminists aligning themselves with figures on the political right, I think it makes sense pragmatically on practical issues like certain acts of legislation and keeping troons out of women's spaces but we shouldn't kid ourselves into thinking they're our friends. When push comes to shove, the right will take the side of trannies over women because they are both misogynist - from /pol/tards claiming "trans women are better than real women!" to conservatives who'd rather they had a tranny child than a lesbian one.

>>10587
yes and this has also led to right-wing people calling themselves radfems or gender critical feminists when they still believe in femininity, the patriarchy etc..

>>10587
>>10611
100%. just because someone is anti-trans or anti-porn doesn't mean they are radical feminists. I grew up in a conservative christian patriarchal misogynist environment so I know that first hand (everyone around me hated trannies, thought porn was evil even if they consumed it, and they sure as shit hated women), but it seems like women who grew up in more liberal households don't know or something and get sucked into supporting right wing misogynists because they share one or two opinions on controversial topics. sometimes I feel like peoples pattern recognition is broken here or I'm taking crazy pills or something.

>>10587
>I think it makes sense pragmatically on practical issues like certain acts of legislation and keeping troons out of women's spaces
doesn't seem very pragmatic to me to trade stuff like reproductive rights etc for the tranny stuff.

exactly, god i hate this shit so much, just look at amount of replies in the "feminationalism" (lmao) thread on here vs this thread (although to be fair a bunch of those replies are people infighting kek). brainwashing and propaganda from the right is extremely prominent especially online.

Starting to question if it's worth trying to peak people or not. They kind of have to be ready to peak on their own or they won't listen, typical cult behaviour after all. But then again, if you don't plant the seed and let them know they're allowed to question trans ideology will they ever get there? And there are many normies who are just going along with it without thinking at all, maybe those are the only ones worth trying to peak.

i peaked a couple of people, some more than others. You gotta do it softly. I tell them various tranny stories like the testosteronejew story or that i saw that "dick" covered in hair, tampon thief… You tell them like 2 stories a month so it's not forced and it worked well. Must be more difficult to peak burgers though.

i think what fully peaked me is that gender dysphoria disorder was removed from the DSM-5. even though, there's a statement within the criteria of each mental disorder that states that a disorder is fully recognized as long as there's a great amount of distress that affects every aspect of a person's life; physically, mentally, occupation, relationships, and etc.

it's ironic for trans people to say you don't need gender dysphoria to be trans or that therapy or psychological evaluation is a long, unnecessary process. even though they need hormones, surgery, change their names, address them in a different pronoun. they also can't stand looking at themselves because their ideal and real self clashes from the disparity and for them to be addressed by their deadname causes dysphoria. they also change their relationship with friends and family and even their workplace either for the better or worse.

what they're dealing with differs from people who are bisexual and gay and yet they want to be lumped to a group of people for oppressions points and forced unity, now they're trying to force themselves into women's space even tho women only managed to receive their rights only a few years ago.

it's not fair they get people to kneel in front of them and yet women and LGB and other minorities of society have to fight for years, losing lives and face actual oppression.

Cosplay is the worst scene for this. We need a secret peaked cosplayer club.

I think I started to peak when Roe v. Wade was overturned in some of the States and was annoyed by liberals and their reluctance to call women women but are happy to call men exactly what they are. Does that men that FtMs have privilege because they call themselves men? It made me realise that no matter what females identify as, we cannot identify ourselves out of sex-based oppression. I've always believed that biological women's issues are different to MtFs, but like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, I'd be eviscerated for sharing this opinion.

I also started watching Mag Berns bc for the first time I needed to listen to different perspectives and everything she said made sense. I'm not comfortable with the nebulous concept of gender identities or that they are somehow innate. It's not something you can think too deeply about before you get reprimanded for asking too many questions.

A male sexually assaulted my female friend at university a few years back. He now identifies as a trans woman and if very popular, setting up a gofundme to get private treatment for his "dysphoria". Since he was high up in a society, my friend reported him to others, but they said they would "keep an eye" on him as if he won't do it again. I hate him so much and I hate how handmaid's fucking fawn over him for being stunning and brave while I know he's a sex pest.

Sooo there's already one pink pill thread active. You think it will get like 500 replies by tommorow and reach limit?

>>9918
I couldn't find it when I went searching through the catalog. I searched backwards and this one came first. But hey, while you're being a hall monitor, why don't you contact the mods and have them remove this one so there's no confusion?(necro)

>>9936
Nta but the current pink pill thread is regularly active and you did necro this one so if you want to not get banned or ignored, maybe take the L and repost to the correct thread. It's currently top of this page.

>>9946
I go jerk off to that one. Jannies delete this (the thread not my comment)(go jerk off to this then, bye)

>>9771
Well, there's always an easy was out

" she describes the confrontation that turned them into sworn enemies. On the day of their godson's barmitzvah, child pornography was criminalised by the supreme court. Dworkin was delighted, but knew that Ginsberg had problems with the legislation.

"Ginsberg told me he had never met an intelligent person who had the ideas I did," she writes. "I told him he didn't get around enough. He said, 'The right wants to put me in jail.' I said, 'Yes, they're very sentimental; I'd kill you.'" When I repeat this story to her, she chuckles, and says in her slow, throaty way, "Oh good , I love that. Don't worry, you can print it now, he is very dead." (Ginsberg died in 1997). "

i dont blame her for initially putting morals aside to get a leg up and get her work out there (which is presumably what she did)

>>9273
still working with a pedophile is something a normal or a good person wouldn't think about it

>>9268
Do you know there was a more rational and well respected explanation behind the Incest Taboo
In nature family members don't mate with each other and yes they help each other survive, feed each and protect each other, cause it increases the chance that their genes will be passed on the next generation, its a phenomenon caused in response to natural selection
even before gene theory this was a wildly accepted, but the moron wanted to be subversive, sometimes a morn is just a moron

>>9274
maybe she wasn't a good person then.

not explicitly radfem but still a nice quote

>>7155
also, people generally don't like thinking. trans ideology actually encourages not thinking, or challenging its tenets. like, we all know how quick their rhetoric falls apart when you just ask them questions like:

>what is gender?
>if anyone who says they're a woman is a woman, then why do they (men) transition? how do trans women know what hormones to take if (the female) sex doesn't actually exist?
>what did jkr actually say that was transphobic?

but to ask these questions is to out yourself as a "transphobe, and so their minds will lock up hard against them. so it's a whole thing of just blindly going along with vibes. also helps that troonshit is just building up off of stereotypes we've all been drip-fed since birth, e.g. the most basic pink = girl blue = boy shit.

radical feminism isn't like that. you have to sit down and challenge your internal biases to understand it. you have to look behind the curtain. your average person isn't going to do that.

which is fair, because your average person has ten million worries more pressing and immediate than men calling themselves women, or overturning the patriarchy. it's sad but true

KAM is pretty concise but men and libfems just hate dark humor applied to moids, lol.

What does decringify even mean? Have you seen how fucking cringey tra memes are? Do you want radfem memes like that too?

As someone who has been in tra zoomer reddit spaces before, it's not much better, it's way worse and it's just that people are inclined to misogyny which is why fds/femcel/radfems/trad/whatever are lumped together without nuance even though they have distinct qualities.

What about just encouraging women to talk to women? Men talk to each other all the time without intrusion and without the community policing itself. Women get shit on for “gossiping” and being “hysterical” for talking about our lives or other womens but it’s a powerful thing to look around at other women and see them agreeing with you or shutting you down for harmful ideas.
Lolcow was the first womens community I existed in that didn’t push “women are gentle and soft and there’s only acceptance and kindness here” or where men were told explicitly to gtfo and not return. I’d never experienced that and while it’s in an online space it helped me get my shit together and deprogram some fucked up fetish shit I’d normalized. Lolcow is the whole reason I found radfem ideas and places.
We don’t necessarily need radfem memes just womens truths, and then when another women comes along to say “well ackshully” enough women will reply “it’s our lived experience, count yourself lucky. We’ll be here for you when you realise.” Or a man comes along and says their typical disturbing and uninformed take women will just ignore it and tell him to stfu and get out.

Radfem ideology and Radfem spaces don't need to be 'less cringy' because what defines cringe is a subjective, elastic bullshit definition anyway. Scrotes are going to call anything that doesn't align with coom and degrading women 'cringe', pickmes are going to follow suit.

More critical eyed anons are going to pick apart arguments on the basis of actual logic unlike the former, which isn't bad in itself but it's holding up standards where the opposition has none at all. Because of this its actually honestly unintuitive and uncessary for growing radfeminism.

Women having impotent rage over moids is justified and not cringy to me. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a forum that exists just for shitting on men that's what TRP is and MRA and that's why it's ideology and pundits are so successful. I see no issue with a gender reversal of this.
