A2Jennifer comments on May 1, 2019:

It must be really frustrating that his shortening his life based on a superstitious belief. But you aren’t going to change his mind, and arguing with him would just ruin the time you have left. So, probably best to treat him like you would if he refused treatment for any other reason.

demifeministgal replies on May 1, 2019:

I never argued with him. I tried reasoning with him when he was in the hospital as did my sister and a doctor. And for a brief time it seemed to work. Until he went on the damn internet and read BS propaganda from laymen and conspiracy theorists and decided he's better off "treating" himself naturally. ffs >:o

demifeministgal replies on May 1, 2019:

@Xuande I'd say it is better to be remembered for something profound and something one has achieved or accomplished (ie einstein, Newton, marie curie, nelson mandela, ghandhi, etc.) than it is to have progeny. After many generations, unless one does an extensive genealogy, you are forgotten. But the likes of Einstein and Newton and the others are yet to be forgotten, kids or no kids. ;)

demifeministgal replies on May 1, 2019:

@Xuande oh yes I am aware that those waiting for adoption, particularily in north america, are older kids and teens. It is actually kinda sad that any POS can easily breed and fck up their own crotch fruit, yet the process of adopting an unwanted child by a loving person is so difficult. In any case, I will leave that up to the kid-loving to take care of. I know that were I to try to breed, the pregnancy would be brutal for my existing health conditions and I'd wager I would resent the lil thing for causing me so much grief and added stress over the course of 9 months. Plus low pain tolerance so fck birth. lol Though I will still do my part via taxes and voting for child-friendly politicians and policies to help other parents and families.

lerlo comments on Apr 28, 2019:

Well as someone who has not been a parent, I was thinking just recently how much money I saved in my life by not having kids. They are really expensive. That being said, despite the grief that comes with some of them, I have never heard a parent say they wish they hadn't had kids.

demifeministgal replies on May 1, 2019:

@Steve_092059 Funnily enough there are more worthless (read abusive) parents out there than people acknowledge. And having kids does not guarantee one will not die alone on their deathbed. And that is a rather selfish reason to have kids in the first place! I don't wanna die alone and have someone to take care of me when I am old and sick. Dafuq. :/

Sweden has THE BEST system for reporting rapes statistically counting rapes in the world. Instead of counting rapes from the same rapist ONCE, they count EACH RAPE from the same rapist as separate incidences. Not to mention, people that never before reported are able to report now and those stats are counted. Plus, they have a much more comprehensive and thorough definition of rape than both US and Canada have, so more victims get counted.

I was laughing at him taking my comment from a camera lens perspective rather than the way it was intended. And yea I would rather have a self aware person whom I can share my experiences with and they can share theirs with me rather than some clueless dolt who I will once again have to spoonfed and educate from the start about systemic discrimination and societal trends and all that jazz. As a guy waaay older than me, I expected him to be more self aware at his age not less self aware. I would never make that a first message to someone though. As I do not look at the technical aspects of a picture and the way the lens takes a picture. So that point is completely irrelevant. I have made first contact with men and never have I been so damn obscure and vague or made a foolish "joke" as he did. And again, I would bet I haven't even been contacting the other sex for dating prospects as long as he has and I am still better at it than him. hmmm

@MsDemeanour Ok so I guess I should just spell it out where my mind went with that video. Many people I did not choose to have in my life (ahem family) are quite negative. And I am wondering if perhaps I avoid cutting out or distancing myself from negative people because being around them and being immersed in negativity gives me a dopamine rush. And as a person with anxiety/depression I may crave that dopamine rush despite if it comes from an unhealthy envt. Make sense?

demifeministgal replies on Apr 24, 2019:

I disagree. If those bridges are based on toxicity and abuse that continues to this day, said bridges are useless, despite the shared history and the bridges need to be burnt. We would not tolerate domestic abuse situations, why do we tolerate or encourage abuse from family members?!?!

demifeministgal replies on Apr 24, 2019:

@m16566 I don't think that not allowing her bf to sleep over would be you imposing your will so much as you setting rules and boundaries for your household. I would say you telling her not to have any type of sex, the way catholic parents and schools do, would be more akin to you imposing your will. Then again, with all the damn fear mongering done by parents and teachers to me in my teens I didn't even have a bf until I graduated high school. So maybe I am not a good judge in this situation. heh

demifeministgal replies on Apr 24, 2019:

I would say that analogy is not a good one. Black lives matter is saying that black lives matter AS WELL or in addition to other lives. If they had come out and said something like black lives are more than other lives that would be problematic. Wording matters and the real women have curves thing is crap because it implies that women that do not have curves, some of which may have health issues/problems causing the lack of curves, are not "real women". Plus it reduces women down to nothing but our tits and asses. I think the discrimination does need to be addressed and combated but the execution that was used was crappy and alienating. They need to try again.

@aahouck49 that's alot of words there and an interesting opinion. But I doubt that you have any peer reviewed citations for your claim that autism occurence, rather than autism diagnosis, has increased. My point was not that you do not do anything for seniors with autism or mental disorders, it was that your claim seems specious at best. The fact you think that means I am anal is really foolish and embarassing on your end. Have you never been challenged on your empty claims or rhetoric before?! geeze lady get a grip already. Perhaps take a xanax to help you cope with your bruised ego. Also, you must be a pretty lousy "medical specialist" if you honestly believe you can armchair psychoanalyze me based on 1 comment online. When it can take years to properly diagnose a person over repeated sessions, not just based on 1 thing they say. Honestly, I would never go see a "specialist" like you and would demand a refund or never pay the fee. You completely overcharge your clients is this is the extent of your advice and diagnosis.

Why can't it just be that the guy and woman just happened to be more compatible? There are some old(er) people that are like children and some young people that are old souls or wise beyond their years. It can happen. So I would call that unwarranted imo.

@aahouck49 forced sterilizations are never the right solution. That is a human rights injustice. And that fckery tends to be enacted on visible minority women, such as Native or black women, rather than on all women. There is a problematic history of eugenics in north america. Not to mention, there are probably alot of autistic elderly or senior people as well, the only difference being they were never DIAGNOSED. So, it is not that the incidence of autistic people has increased, but rather, the diagnosed cases of autistic people has increased due to better diagnostic standards and more testing being administered nowadays.

I was criticizing that non-factual mentality that older automatically equates to wiser and deserving of respect. That is what frustrates me as so many foolish or idiotic older people, IRL or online DEMAND this respect that they in no way deserve or are entitled to.

Look at all the student protests and walk outs in the USA and in Canada. Those are not some princesses that are self-involved and shallow. Those are politically and socially engaged citizens making efforts to change the world they live in. Have you not been paying attention?
