  1. I mean no offense but this seems like a lot of online rhetoric that doesn't mirror most circumstances in the real world, in general. The passage sounds like algorithm social media ragebait that gets top views. I don't deny this might be the dynamic in some cases. I know a lot of small families in the Millennial age group and none of them suffer from what you describe. It also reads as very victim mindset.
  2. If you feel you are being mistreated, or treated by other users in a way that violates the guidelines - please report the post for review. There is no shame in reporting. It is not some sort of signal you are not capable of settling your own conflicts - the moderators are here precisely to step in with an impartial perspective. They’re not (or, ideally, should not be) emotionally involved in the situation, which allows them to assess things fairly and consistently. We are here to help and keep the peace You are doing an honorable thing; championing the horrible atrocities that are committed against people. Sometimes our methods of persuasion fail us, and when this happens it is easy to blame others. When in reality, we can always find a way to reach someone with an alternative method of communication. Or, simply, pick our battles when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force
  3. Hell yeah, I like the reels! Social media has transformed into utter slop. People claim it's phones, and that's some of it yes, but social media is the real turd in the room. I recall when smartphones first released. I was one of the first generation of users after Nokia was king. Smartphones became more of an issue for users when social media infested our minds.
  4. I hope we can try to increase the quality of posts.
  5. I like @AION ! I think he is sharp and can go far. He just doesnt like, understand (or care to understand) me. Which is okay with me, I don't need everyone to like me. Never gonna happen!
  6. Please do not publicly shame members with your own personal opinions who have no relevance to the topic. Try to stay on topic. If you cannot engage in the forum without shit talking members and the quality of the forum itself, you probably need to take a break. πŸ™πŸ»
  7. Please, it is wrong to imply this user is making excuses for pedophilia! Explaining the causes and mechanisms behind something does not excuse the behaviour! The user was NOT excusing harm caused to children, merely explaining the possibly causes of the pathology and source of issue. There is a big difference. The user also proposed mechanisms to prevent abuse. Understanding something can often lead to people allowing poor behaviour. This tendency is an indicador of poor boundaries. When we focus on causes, it is not softening moral judgement.
  8. I didn't see any reply from you, I have alerts turned off for replies and tags so I may have missed it? I am not mad or angry, I didnt get to see your reply before the topic was removed, actually. So not possible to BE angry. If you cannot read the room and notice my comments were light-hearted, and good natured, that's on you! Haha! It's your silly bias! None of my comments were jokes at the OPs expense - they were poking fun at MY behaviour. I had nothing to do with deleting the topic 😁😁😁 The ironic part is you are having an emotional tantrum because you broke a forum rule and received punishment. Shame-deleting is your move, incidentally. Witnessed across the forum. Projection.
  9. The video you shared made me reflect on this a bit. I think women's natural sex drive is more closely linked to emotions and feeling, over 'mental/thinking'. The presenter does remark women are 'in their heads' a lot and in the thinking mind. The narrative. Worries about safety. This is different to requiring feeling to engage in sexual desire. And I think many, many women get caught in this trap. Addiction to a narrative or fixation on safety/certainty. Maybe to refine further - male sexuality tends to be physical, while female sexuality emotional/feeling. I get shredded alive for suggesting women need to surrender to the swoon of being seduced. For me - desire, engagement, excitement, flow and a state of 'being' follow action. I don't wait for impulse, inspiration or desire. I make it and arouse it in myself with action. I just don't think many women approach it this way... They wait for a 'mood'. I take this action first approach with everything in life. I build new habits through action, to change my mental states and habits/thinking. I don't try to change my mental state to then feel motivation to effect action in the world. Anyway a bit off topic.
  10. People who are sexually attracted to children often do not want to be. They suffer. My compassion. Pedophilic disorder. Those who act on the impulse and violate the consent of another are disgusting. Children are too young to comprehend such things, and sexual activity too early often destroys their development. Creates pathologies, sex disorders, trauma. Causes trust issues. The victims suffer.
  11. Low quality post.
  12. Please refrain from posting sexist crap. Keep it to yourself.
