After realizing I actually like pink and girly things but I missed out on it because of my “not like the other girls” phase source
Very few people want to have sex with someone who acts like a dependent. source
Boyfriend (26m) says misogynistic things like “women who can’t have children are useless”
He has problematic views that bother me at times. The statement that was quoted in the title was said last night, and I was in such shock that I was stunned into silence. I didn’t talk to him until the next day, and he kept prompting me to respond. I told him that I’m choosing my battles wisely, and that I choose not to participate in that conversation. Because tbh, if you’re a grown person with that mindset, I don’t think a simple conversation is going to help you change your point of view. I don’t have the energy to beg a man to have more empathy for other women. As he shares more about the way he views women, my view of him is starting to change although he is a great boyfriend.
Since I told him that I choose not to participate in the conversation after he said that, he says, “since your feelings are so hurt, now I can’t share any of my thoughts with you. Now everything has to be sugar coated.” I want him to be able to share his thoughts and opinions with me but he needs to understand that I’m allowed to be offended when he says something offensive. What should I do?
Edit: Please be kinder to me. I didn’t intend on offending anyone but the overwhelming amount of criticism and hate that I’m getting is unexpected.

Ummm... Did Overturning Roe Not Impact People You Care About 🤨 (Source: "How Gen Z Could Transform American Politics", FiveThirtyEight) source
Large labia is NORMAL!
I wanted to make this post because I feel like more women (and men, especially) need to know that large labia is normal. It has no indication of your sexual history. It has nothing to do with your own sexual exploration. It is your own biological development. Since I went through my own pubescent development I was insecure of my own vulva, much like the rest of the population. Man or women. But your labia is normal. You are perfectly normal. Just because it is not in media or porn doesn’t mean it’s not normal. It IS normal. If you fear someone will not want to engage with you sexually because you have a large labia, it is not true. People who think you have a “roast beef” vulva are highly uneducated in human anatomy. I feel the need to say this because I was insecure for a very long time about it. I wish more people talked about it. I wish there wasn’t a stigma about it. Surgery won’t make you feel better. Self acceptance and self love will make you feel way better. You have a healthy and beautiful vulva. You are worthy of someone loving you the way you are biologically. And sex might even feel better with a larger labia.
People who think larger labia are gross are just less educated humans. I was insecure about it for a long time. I wouldn’t speak about it in fear of ridicule. But if someone brings it up I will educate them. Because I know MY own body. I know the facts. I know the things they say aren’t true. And everyone with a vulva, who are privy to the facts, should educate them. Because who is to say you aren’t normal? Preferences is one thing, but to say large labia is because a woman is loose is BULLSHIT. Women with large labia know that. Most everyone else doesn’t!

Transition Magic
Hope it’s ok to post this here. I haven’t said much in this space but it seems trans inclusive. And collages like this make me feel like a magical shapeshifter so a witchy sub seems like an appropriate space!
-6 months HRT to today, just over 13 months of the magic of having the right hormones!
Witchiness was one of my comfort spaces in my late teens. After my first attempt to transition at 19 failed and I went deep into hiding, witchcraft is one of the things I lost in my fear of being found out. I haven’t quite figured out how to reconnect but nice been feeling like I really want to lately. source
