Don't lay your issues with your body on other women.

I'm...not? I never asked another woman to fix me. I've never said "what the hell is wrong with you, let me educate you on your wrong opinon about vaginas!" I just disagree. Is there really that big an issue with simple disagreement? I could say "I don't think redheads are attractive" and there'd be no issue with it, right? (I think redheads are awesome though tbh.) Well, I don't think vulvas are attractive. I'm not attracted to them because I can't stand the sight of them. I've tried to. I want to be okay with them. My body refuses it. It's honestly that simple.

I'm not sure where you are in the world that you have to deal with something that blatantly demeaning regarding the aesthetics of vaginas in particular, but I'm sorry you do. I'm glad I'm don't see that. My dislike of them came out of seemingly nowhere. I'd like to know where, and why, and I'd like to talk to someone about it. I just chose to make a secret before taking the next step.

This was the 2004 version that aired on NBC; Kelsey Grammer was Scrooge.

I honestly do apologize for offending you; I just want to reassure you that is not what I meant to do. I don't go around, wringing my hands, plotting ways to ruin women's bodies for them. I just meant to share my own opinion, which I think is also a good and healthy thing to do when it's something that gnaws at the back of your mind, especially in a place like this with no direct repercussions. I swear, that's it. I didn't even think this secret would get many replies, let alone anger anyone.

LMAO

I think the three of them are best friends, just in different ways

[identity profile] rare-lj.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, it sucks, I loved their friendship and I wish the only female character in the movie hadn't been the romantic interest.

I never got why Chandler/Monica was so popular during its run. I hated them together and I felt that both characters suffered from it.

This, so much.

...If there'd ever be a reason for me to get into the Fate/series, these two would probably play a big part in it(size differences Y PLZ)/shallow

Were they still sentient at that point? I thought them mating was just acting on instinct.

Oh man, this manga. I relate to it as well. I usually cringe at "oh, its an otaku girl" type of stuff like Oreimo (well, I only dislike Kirino because she wasn't relatable and just seemed like a genderbent moe otaku.) but this feels a lot more genuine.

(Anonymous) 2011-12-09 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It's easy to believe because there are actually people who've done stuff like this. (Not always out of satanic worship, or whatever it is that the media insists; more often than not they're like the op, making a tribute to artists or other stuff that they like.)

Jones! City Face! *_*

Hm been a while since I played Clock Tower 3 and I'm not sure I recall that scissor guy. I remember the villains were only scary to a point (thanks to the bad dubs mostly.) I remember the acid guy was just lulzy. The twins were more annoying than anything else (especially her rather RP accent ugh) but they did manage to startle me once cuz I was so not expecting them hiding by the corner as soon as I left the hiding point (which happened to be another toilet. Lol the game does warn you against peeping creepers, at the least.)

[identity profile] laifan.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
OP, get one squiggly symbol wrong and you might be summoning evil instead, just saying (plus I'm not sure the show's symbols found via Google or similar would be the best thing in repelling evil.)

Shaming women for their genitals is certainly not okay, and it needs to stop, but I think you're reading too much into the op's words. You can't ask op to be 100% aware of the effects and insinuations her words have when it is obvious that her perception of herself is already messed up.

Shaming HER won't help her, and it won't help women. You're only reassuring her that she is a bad person, that she should be ashamed, and that might scare her away from seeking a solution. Yay.

A more effective tactic would have been to tell her that, no, her genitals are not monstrous, that that is not a normal perception to have and to please seek help, ya know, like pretty much everyone else in the thread was doing?

Also, people up-thread are pretty much telling op to talk to someone. That doesn't mean that op can't go do some research on her own first, anyway. Getting professional help and trying to help yourself do not need to be mutually exclusive. No one was playing "I am totes a professional!" here. They were just pointing op in a direction that might help, since, given her secret and her comments, it does not appear that she have words to describe what she might have beyond "this bothers me and makes me feel sick. I don't like it".

Giving her terms to do some research might help her search out those, and maybe find that "oh, hey, this is what I feel like!"

Knowing that you are not crazy, that you are not the only one ever going through this, is reassuring and might give her the confidence to go find a professional to talk to. It will also help her know if the professional she finds is full or shit or if they have a better idea of what is going on with her and how to help her.

I read that as her apologizing for the way she delivered the information to him, instead of for ruining the marriage -- but it's been a while, I could be wrong. There would have been more tactful ways to let him know his wife was sleeping with a student.

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2011-12-09 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
OP, that was either a very shitty troll or a very mean person. Please don't listen to them. We have assholes like that regularly in this community who love to slam other people in the name of feminism/social justice/whatever-it-is-now and make everyone else look bad by association.

I can assure you that, I, at least, as a woman, did not feel offended by your words, even if I don't share your sentiments. You seem like a fairly self-aware person, and do not appear to be misogynistic or woman's-genitals-shaming or whatever.

I really do hope that you can find a therapist or a doctor to help you (I don't know if there are any with expertise in these manners near you?).

If face-to-face help is not available, there are internet forums and groups out there of other people who care about these topics (and I hope they don't have mean people like this community often has).

Dude, I loved watching this show. Their two different personalities were really fascinating, and I loved seeing them clash and work together. :)

[identity profile] iteari.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Just what I was going to say.

[identity profile] iteari.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Crap! I just noticed NOW!

[identity profile] iteari.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I loved all the books but Val and Ravus were the best!

[identity profile] iteari.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Twilight is a popular series. I have friends, smart friends, friends whose recommendations have led me to great stuff, like the books. I prefer to criticize the bad books, movies, et al, rather than the people that enjoy them---FYI, I was bullied a lot when I was younger, and one thing they always used against me was whatever I liked that they didn't.

You know, I enjoy Showgirls. It's a big guilty pleasure for me (its badness is so beautiful!) Just because I like ONE movie everyone else hates, doesn't really mark me as silly, stupid, or whatever and it doesn't mark what kind of other stuff I like.

[identity profile] foreba-arone.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Ah man, this is why whenever I go overseas, I make sure any laptops I bring have nothing on them and that I don't bring any suggestive reading material with me. Well, at least its over, OP. :( I would die if that happened to me.

[identity profile] eibborn.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh man, I kind of do the same! Not romance, though. I just like to think of how Jehryl would respond to my necromancer using a legion of skellies to clean out his palace using the living dead. I think he'd be conflicted. I always figured Akara would be pretty terse about it, too, but since they have no choice, they grudgingly let it happen.

A lot of the time I give my mercs personality, too. Kashya gave me a truly amazing rogue, one of her best fighters, just because the girl's a bit quirky and handles stress by heading into a corner and sobbing for a bit. I swear, no other merc spent as much time glitching in corners as that one in my entire time playing, haha.

Dorks like us put the roleplaying in MMORPG! ;D
