If one thing happens more than the other doesn’t mean it’s worse. Most men don’t report sexual assault. I was touched by my baby sitter but I have never told anyone. This is the first time I am actually talking about it online because it’s Reddit and it’s anonymous in a sense that my pic and name is not on my profile. Most men just don’t report it because “You are a man so be a man”. I have also been asked for sex inappropriately at work and nobody knows it except for me and 2 of my coworkers who were there. So you 👏 don’t 👏 hear it 👏 everyday 👏 because most men don’t report it. There I explained it. Btw in my case both suspects were women not men.

I see a lot of hate for parents and thought I'd provide some perspective as a parent in 2023. We were expected during the pandemic to both be teachers and work at the same time with barely any energy leftover at the end of the day to then coach proper behavior, but did it anyway. This of course means we were constantly stressed. Then the pandemic kind of ends and companies had lost basically all sympathy for needing time off for kids despite the fact many kids still were only partially at school or coming home every week for a slight temperature when schools first re-opened. A lot of us had to use all our PTO on this as a result. Still no chance to recover from the insanity of being a working parent with kids home during the pandemic. We get awful parental leave in the US, which is even more important and needed with so many families needing both parents to work to get by. When kids are sick and you can't work, you're now expected to work anyway since remote work is a possibility. In addition, the nuclear family model is NOT WORKING. Two people (sometimes 1) are expected to teach kids everything under the sun. This isn't to say parents shouldn't parent to be clear, I just think a little perspective is needed on how much society has offloaded onto parents in a way that is failing everyone. We aren't robots that can keep going and going with no break. Finally the modern definition of being a good parent is INTENSE and unrealistic.

Idk, I don’t remember touching my friends butts in middle school. That sounds like textbook inappropriate. They should be preparing the students by teaching them that that type of behavior isn’t allowed in the real world. If I touched a coworkers butt after they told me to stop I would be fired and/or arrested. I think a phone call home is an entirely appropriate response. Sounds like you’re the type of idiot parent all these other posts are referring to.

Wow the fact that he got pulled over for going 5-7 is just crazy. I never have any problem going 5-10 over. It's insane that I saw someone not get pulled over for going 12-13 over but your husband gets pulled over for 5-7.

I am a loser for not wanting to shovel in a 20 degree weather at 05:00 in the morning? 💀 like I am sorry if your crops didn’t grow but I will take this winter over whatever shithole winter we had in 2012-13 where we had 10-15 inches of snow storms. Like my bad but it is what it is 🤷‍♂️

Oh I know people have a hard time realizing that alot of the stuff going on with crime is results of the protests .. I’m 100% about holding cop’s accountable for going over the line but I also know we need them out there arresting people pulling people over . Letting people know it’s not a free for all out there ..
