The worst is people who will act like they can't tell what's toxic and what's just harmless in terms of gender roles. My mom knows how I am about this stuff, so she was "surprised" that we dress my daughter in pink sometimes or in a nice dress for her party. No, that's nothing mom, it's no better or worse than putting blue shorts on a boy. It's a color, it's a cut. We choose what we like on her, she chooses what she wants to put on that day, she's one, calm down. I'm not fighting to tear down gender and force grey turtlenecks on the populace, I simply want the expression of gender to be a fully personal choice and not attacked by others.

My Lovely Horse posted:Overheard a few moms the other day. One was talking about how their kid was "finally growing into a girl" and how it was about time because only a few weeks ago "we went shopping and they had all those cute pink Hello Kitty pyjamas and what does she go for, the blue Batman pyjamas for boys". Then they started shipping the 5-6 year old girl and toddler they had with them. "Oh he's always looking at Emily isn't he, always flirting with Emily." Yeah maybe ask Emily sometime how she feels about you making her into a passive object of affection for boys who don't yet have object permanence. You... actually said “shipping.” I had to do a triple-take. I thought that was a purely tumblr/slash fiction weirdo term. Plso please don’t use it again here because all I get is flashbacks to the tumblr threads *shudder* Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 15:40 on May 17, 2018 |

I'm torn because 'shipping' is a trash word most commonly applied in a trashy fanfiction context and I hate it, but I don't want to be one of the people who fight against our constantly evolving lexicon like people who still bother to correct things like 'literally'.

I will never associate it with any other meaning besides "I want to see or read about them loving", which is always what the people who regularly use it mean.

All I can say is I considered it carefully but shipping seemed the only appropriate term. These ladies were the sort who are 100% gonna egg the kid on to give the girl a smooch on the cheek as soon as he's able to walk. Presumably out of no more sinister motives than getting a cute facebook video out of it, but if you think about it, that's plenty sinister enough.

Tiggum posted:It sounds gross and weird because it's describing gross and weird behaviour. Talking about little kids "flirting" with each other is shipping them. It's a perfectly apt way to describe that. It comes from a different place though. It's just one of those things parents say to each other because they think it's "cute" or whatever. It's like how parents will tell each other how beautiful their ugly baby is. They don't really mean it, it's just small talk for parents.

And that’s wrong BECAUSE applying sexual terms to beings that aren’t sexual/able to consent/innocent/young/have no knowledge of sex/etc is GROSS.

What do you think two parents would do if the kids they are joking about flirting with each other started making out? Now, what do you think a tumblrite would do if david tennant and benedict cumberbatch started making out? Do you not see a distinction there?

My point is only one of those scenarios would result in furious masturbation. Like I siad, the comments come from different places. If the kids actually acted out the "fantasy" (which it isn't, but using your words...), they would be instantly separated and scolded, because the parents don't actually think or want them to enter into a romantic relationship with each other.

I like to lay on my left side but i cant when im on my phone because it will suddenly switch to "connected but no internet". It's by far the worst thing in my apartment. I would just move the bed but theres nowhere to move it to.

Peeve: We have two computers in the family room. Because I play games and watch shows and don't want to be a total bastard, I use a headset. My mom, however, uses speakers at max. I don't always have the headset on because they aren't loving soundproof, and eventually it gets uncomfortable. So I get the joy of hearing hours of Facebook videos until I relent and put the headset on, and find something to play at max volume. Peeve: "thoughts and prayers" in relations to any loving thing but especially school shootings. Cowslips Warren has a new favorite as of 02:56 on May 19, 2018 |

Water fountain peeve: when there is such low water pressure that you practically have to make out with the spout to get any water. Also people who spit gum in them. It doesn't really effect me but it's gross to stare at while i'm trying to drink.

My workplace has water fountains, but the water in them is nasty (like all of our tap water) and I'm sorry, I can't get past nasty-tasting water for the sake of the planet or not spending a dollar while I'm there. Yeah yeah, I'm a terrible person buying into a scam and funding terrible people and killing mother nature, whatever. I'm getting a water filter for home, so hopefully I'll cut back on it soon.

Do you guys not have health/water inspectors? I have some ridiculous need to always drink water (I don’t have diabetes) and I’ve never gotten sick from a water fountain. Jesus. yeah I eat rear end posted:Water fountain peeve: when there is such low water pressure that you practically have to make out with the spout to get any water. Also people who spit gum in them.

At worst, I literally drink out of the sink faucets. Water in hand, hand to mouth. No longer thirsty.
