of course sons also can't be pressured into sex or anything like that. . And it's okay if their son is in a position to pressure someone into sex, if that's the main reason their daughters couldn't go, that they would be.

that kinda party is also drunk driving city, which is a pretty big deal all on its own

The guy is literally spraying down the entire bathroom with water and soap and rolling around in it, thats kinda loving weird and goes a little bit beyond just taking a long shower. His roommates are right to be pissed, especially since the dude doesn't mention actually cleaning his mess up after.

That said, maybe they shouldn't let their son go to a party designed to teach him how to coerce girls and ply them with alcohol. So even though they're not as worried about him getting assaulted, they should be worried about what he learns from this party and from watching older peers engage in coercion.

Yeah, no poo poo. Do not send your sons to participate in the things you want to protect your daughters from.

AITA for eating food off my guy friends� plates ?

quote:

Hello AITA, I had quite a night with some of my best friends over something I thought was innocent and even cute but apparently that has been bothering them for a long time. They were really cruel and I didn�t sleep at all so I�m asking here for some clarity.

Last night I went out with a group of guy friends, we went to a club and danced and drank but no one was really having any fun so we went to a diner. I wasn�t really hungry so I just ordered coffee. I�ve just always eaten off my guy friends� plates so I did it last night. It wasn�t much, just a few fries, tomatoes, croutons�just small stuff.

As I was reaching for a French fry, my friend basically screened at me �will you loving stop it!� It was so out of the blue I thought he was joking so I kept going for the fry and he said �I told you to stop, I was loving serious.� I asked him if he was really mad. He said that I�ve pulled this �cutesey girl poo poo since I�ve known you and it�s annoying as poo poo, don�t ever touch my food again.� I asked if was serious and then my other guy friends piped and said basically how they were all sick of it too and it needs to stop.

That turned into a huge argument because I felt like they were teaming up on me. The bottom line is I got an Lyft home and my friendships may be over and I�m really upset.

AITA?

i guess it wasn't innocent, or even cute

# ? Sep 11, 2023 16:39

Agrikk: Oct 17, 2003; Take care with that! We have not fully ascertained its function, and the ticking is accelerating.

YTA, most definitely, for stealing food. And they were all teaming up on you because you were stealing food from all of them.

Your friendship isn�t over, just stop taking their food. Simple.

I don't read that from the OP.
"turn off all the lights, and shower while on the floor in complete darkness,
...and then rinse off and crawl out of the shower and head to my room."

The floor of the shower/tub, I assumed. It's certainly weirder if he's doing a lap around the toilet while the shower is just running.

I wonder how many times she's cadged a free meal by ordering "just coffee" and then helping herself to her friends' food? The way literally everybody jumped down her throat when she finally got called out on it tells me she's pulled this trick a lot.

That hits so many cliche buttons in the comments but then again a lot of girls seem socialised to get away with that kind of thing for way too long. I've heard it also been described as a slight eating disorder thing; 'if I order food for myself I'm a fat pig, but eating food off other people's plates doesn't count'.

I think we've reached peak reddit meta

My wife is addicted to making up Reddit stories for TikTok and it's ruining this marriage

quote:

Hello Reddit, longer term lurker and first time poster here. Need some advice

My wife of 3 years, aged 25, has been constantly on Reddit and TikTok for the past 8 months to the point where both take up anywhere from 9-13 hours of her battery usage. She got into them heavily after I sent her one and it just spiraled to the point where she is writing her own for clout (I guess). Two of them that I know she wrote herself were about a man who's dad thought he was cheating on his boyfriend and cut him off for a year, then coming back "begging to reconcile." One that she showed me she wrote earlier tonight before bed was where a 43 year old woman found her husband cheating with their 20 year old step-daughter (what the actual gently caress by the way). That one she posted and it's already gained so much traction that it'll probably be on TikTok by morning. We work at the same company and she has gotten written up for being on her phone multiple times to the point where she might get fired. I've tried to get her to go to therapy because a lot of these are disturbing scenarios she's writing about but she says it's just "a creative outlet." I'm worried for her and honestly if she doesn't quit I'm most likely gonna seperate from her, as she's shown me such a dark and twisted side of her mind through these.

I kinda understand party parents. yes dudes can get assaulted in those circumstances, absolutely, but let's be honest big parties like that were a bunch of dude graduates come to prey on teen girls are set up primarly for that - creeping on the girls. high school girls are sexualized for just existing. it's a Whole Thing bc of how obsessed gross some dudes are about fresh young 'fertile' women

That said, maybe they shouldn't let their son go to a party designed to teach him how to coerce girls and ply them with alcohol. So even though they're not as worried about him getting assaulted, they should be worried about what he learns from this party and from watching older peers engage in coercion.

This is not the only party the daughters will attend where there will be predatory young men. Keeping them from going to this party teaches them that "Mom and Dad are jerks" but doesn't teach them anything about how to handle large parties.

The daughters needed to hear basic safety-in-public-while-woman*, because they will need it throughout their lives. "Stay next to a few friends. Don't drink anything unless you opened the bottle or cap yourself. Call home if you feel unsafe; we'll pick you up, no questions asked. Or use this credit card for an Uber. Don't leave a drunk/intoxicated friend alone."

* Yes, this happens to people of every gender, but especially to women.
