Dilemma as old as humanity, just simply made worse since the internet. The number of people who take their opinions way too strongly in public is just ugh
( ... )
I think the issue for me at this point is that I've done exactly that (scroll past the stuff) for months and months... to the point where if I'm not discussing these topics, I feel out of touch with facebook friends. And these are supposed to be my friends so I should be able to express myself freely right?
Another thing that has been happening is that a person makes a comment irl and they act as if their opinion is the expected/normal/right one. And then everyone in the group mostly agrees so I could speak up and express myself, but I'd really rather just ignore the opinion. But then I feel like people are missing out on a part of me.
All in all, I think I just have an extreme aversion to argument/disagreement because of a childhood where my parents argued almost everyday. As a matter of fact, they still do. -_-;
I am curious about this mysogyny event. (Link? Since you have so many lol.)
I do not go on facebook except to track friends events and use the messaging system (since so many people are only on facebook). It's convenient when I meet new people to connect with them (like Yuna at Anime Expo).
- I'm not sure how a college girl regretting sex with her boyfriend is connected to mysogyny. D:
- I personally find it flattering when a guy takes a photo cause he thinks I'm cute. Who cares where the camera's focused? It's just a picture. Guys are allowed to look, so long as they don't touch, that's the rule. It annoys me when girls think it's creepy for a guy to look or think they're cute or whatever. It should be flattering. Girls dress up half for the attention (somewhat from other girls, yes, but also because guys treat you better), so I really don't get why this has to be denied. I look at guys. I doubt they mind. ?- Girl getting hit on = always ok, even though of course, a lot of girls don't know what to do. If the guy is persistent,

that drama thing, plus the guy taking a butt shot of some random cosplayer walking around, plus some other random things about guys generally being pretty normal and not harmful at all and girls not just complaining, but calling on the internet, the police, and their social circles to enact "justice". it was worse for tenshiyaki than myself because she is friends with the social circles (cosplayers and artists) who will, naturally, side with the girl (their friend) in whatever disagreement/argument.
(edited to clarify subjective nature of justice in this context, names)
Oh... actually I don't know about that event. It really sounds like he was awkwardly trying to compliment her and make her feel special but failing pretty badly. -_-;; Honestly, I kind of wish I could teach guys (this isn't even limited to otaku/nerds anymore) how to talk to girls because they seem to be doing worse and worse. OH WAIT... is this the guy whose pf pic is in a military uniform?
Yes, that is also often the case. It really makes me lose faith in humanity lol.
I'm mostly just talking about my social circle. It just seems that my assortment of fb friends include many who subscribe to a certain more liberal train of thought and are especially inflamed whenever "womens' rights" events come up. Actually in terms of politics/news/misc info posted, I have very little issue with it because it apparently doesn't have as much popularity.
