nonas, this is a thread to share how other nonas have had a positive impact in your life.

No. 2116438

i'll start. as a girl growing up in the south in a conservative christian culture, i never encountered anyone that actually enjoyed being a woman or thought it was inherently valuable (and not just a lesser weaker man) til I read what the nonas were saying here. it has completely overhauled my perspective and given me self worth where I had very little.

thanks nonas.

Shoutout to my nonny friend who peaked me, she genuinely saved my life because I was deeply off the gender koolaid and less than a year away from top surgery which would've given me some fucked up scars and made my body dysmorphia even worse. got a normal reduction and have embraced being a weird girl now. Literally every day I think about how grateful I am and how much worse my life would've been without her. Thank you nonna, you know who you are.

guys let's not slapfight in the thread about positivity.
I love the nonnas on /g/ because I feel like I have a safe space to discuss personal issues and overshare anonymously with other women who understand and have had similar experiences. I've been able to open up about my body dysmorphia and relationship trauma and it's been really cathartic for me.

No. 2116489

>>2116481
No, there's more normie women now than before they've either integrated to our level or just lurk. Or they get bullied away.
Which reminds me, I do like the nonas who talk about their really cool interests and hobbies. It's like semi escapism reading their posts about knitting or coding or gardening etc.

I appreciate all the incredibly clever nonnas who write entire very thoughtful manifestos as replies, even if they occasionally get called autists for having too big brains. I hope they never get chased out of here, you genuinely expanded my perspective so much.

Its so nice to see real strange girls out there.. I really like the fetishes and fantasies threads kek. 

No. 2119682

If it were not for nonas here telling me like it is, i would be a different person.

There is nowhere else I can speak my thoughts and hear opinions similar to mine, and agreeing. For very very simple things like vast majority men being subhuman. You have twitter types like IHM 2024 but it’s all for show. Maybe the same happens here, but since everything is anonymous I like to believe the nonas are holding strong and even if I am alone in really avoiding men as much as I feasibly can, it’s nice to believe there’s a community of us.

Also in sharing that niche in being feminist and sexually conservative, but because men are scum, not women’s chastity bullshit. Another shockingly uncommon mindset in my daily life and lovely to see here.

No. 2119784

Shout out to the nonnies who made me feel less crazy for being disgusted by men. Even though I'm a straight woman and I felt attracted to men's physical form on occasion, I always felt crazy in my personal life for bein repelled by men and their behaviors. Sure there were a few women you could here about being single into their late twenties and beyond but it seemed pretty rare. You ladies unironically helped me realize I didn't have to shack up with a man just because every woman in my family did. It makes me feel not like a social pariah for being this way.
Also thank you to the nonnies who respond to my vents on occasion and cheer me up or offer me advice. I know not everyone wants or needs advice or cheering up, but I appreciate it.

No. 2119869

Kind of a strange thing to be happy about, but I've been watching the olympic athlete situation in the gender ideology thread and poking around in some of the overspill. I'm realizing how much more I like arguments in a space where it's good or neutral to be a woman, rather than arguments in male-dominated online spaces.

Scrotefoiling is probably really annoying after a while, but it's so novel to me that for once being called a man is a negative thing, and using "he" for someone is an insult. I'm so used to seeing people demean other people by saying they're some kind of woman. Someone in the GI thread also called another anon a whore, and other nonas called them out on it, which made me notice how nice it is to have less female-specific insults tossed around too.

No. 2123407

Not one nonny in specific, but I do feel thankful to have this website in general as it makes me fell less alone and more in touch with women in general. I never had a group of girl friends who I could be honest with and so many threads on lc (like celebricows /m/ and a few cows on snow) make me feel like i'm among friends who share similar online and irl experiences. I may be a lurker but I feel kinship with so many nonnies on here!

I also second >>2119869 in that it's incredibly refreshing to be in a woman dominated space, where regardless of what you're discussing it does feel like that's the default here.

No. 2130440

Lolcow helped provide context for my experiences with men and empowered me to see situations for what they were. As a high schooler, I felt so seen by the encouraging nonnas who validated my experiences and helped me understand how men work. I still have screenshots of the many powerful responses anons gave me when I was just 16/17 (sorry) and dealing with depraved men. I’m a lot older now and simply so appreciative for the contribution farmers have made to my independence!

Medical/genital TMI but I would never have known I had clitoral adhesions without reading about them in the vagina thread. Mine was not severe and I was able to treat it on my own, but I caught it at the right time and I imagine it could have gotten much worse. Horrified but not surprised to find out such a common ailment (which is believed to affect up to 33% of women!!!) has such little research behind it. Most gynos don’t even know about it, or know how to perform a clitoral exam.

Anyway, I am eternally grateful to the nonna who discussed her experience with it, and her at home treatment!!

I never really foudn anywhere i belong to this day it just confuses me and makes me dissapear from people even more. I rarely experience women being a positive force accept for my mother but i put myself out there a LOT and don't even have an imposing personality to rub anyone wrong. People stalked me and decided i was a bitch because i hate men in my private life well. Sorry? I fucking hate most of humanity. I dont particularly trust anyone on this board either. Everytime i think i see someone i could relate to they turn around and show how they're pretty two faced and bitchy.

I am also thankful for the original nonnie who posted about them. My chronic UTIs were coming from it and now that I finally took care of the adhesions I'm finally UTI free. So many doctors failed to notice them but thankfully that nonnie posted about it and made me look into it again.

No. 2131590

I posted a few years ago about my childhood sexual adult, saying that I just viewed mine as mundane memories and felt they had no impact on my life, and I wondered if there were any other nonas who felt similarly. I didn't feel like I could say I was sexually assaulted, because I never felt any one way about the experience, it was just something that happened to me. A nona or two flat out told me that yes, I was assaulted, and the way I viewed those memories was a way of coping with the traumatic experience, and my sexual assault was not beneath others just because I didn't feel as deeply and directly traumatized by it. It opened my mind and just sort of validated the experience for me.

I've never spoken to anyone about it, it never felt important enough to bring up, but having some random stranger on the internet say "no you were sexually assaulted and that's that" felt very validating. In hindsight, me always thinking it was never important enough to bring up (especially as a kid) kept me from getting the help I needed. I had a lot of other issues growing up and even if I didn't view my assault as traumatic, they clearly had an effect on me and nobody around me knew what to do because they didn't know what the issue was.

No. 2134389

I love saying something and having it validated. Now this is just a universal human emotion but there's something so nice about it on a site like this.
Also thank you to the anon on one of the dumbass shit threads (iirc) who gave me a really good suggestion for cheap noise cancelling headphones when I asked
