Sure, but when these laws were passed they were intended to keep women down. Just like women couldn't vote or have back accounts. The fact they still exist, along with more of our rights being reduced, shows the misogynistic intent.

Given his character, he would certainly try.

Unsure if the Photoshopping is so poorly done intentionally or not. I'm going to assume it was.

Nonsexual/therapeutic manual therapy/massage/bodywork page with research, techniques, theory, etc. anytime I try to find one, I only get porn ones.

Our faulty (for the general people) systems need to be transparent and reworked. Not hidden and protecting the oligarchy and wealthy corrupt individuals who serve them.

Side of bed debate - Which side is left?

Which side of the bed is the left side? Is the answer based on the perspective of laying in the bed (person's head at the head end)? Is the answer based on viewing it from the foot of the bed, looking at the head of the bed? Is there an "anatomical position" or special terminology like in boating for this?...

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

He did theater stuff in HS, so we may adapt this if neither of us concede. Good work around.

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

This is my stance on it. I thought this so such a common sense perspective that my brain stalled when he disagreed with it.

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

Oh, you are a witty one. Good answer.

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

Your logic is that of my BFs.

If the bed to be used with people in it, I think that perspective should be the fixed perspective how it is used. If you're partner is on your right hand side, the side you sleep on is the left.

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

You're in agreement with my BF.

I didn't consider stomach sleepers. It's a good counter. I sleep on my stomach for short periods of time, but laying prone isn't default orientation (we typically don't face the ground) so therefore shouldn't be used as an indicator of default direction.

How do you reference position while in the bed? Just "your vs my" side?

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

Driver and passenger side confuses me more because of your last point. It's backwards. But it still needs to be named foot of the bed and not head because it's where it feet go. So your first point also makes sense. Both are right and wrong at the same time

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

Happy to hear we aren't the only ones.

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

So using the point of the examiner, is the mattress the belly or back or the bed? I say it's the belly, the baseboard would be the back. So it would be the same as laying in the bed.

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

A very realistic answer. It's unlikely either of us will concede so this is will be a perpetual joke.

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

Probably along the same lines as band camp. I'm sure there's a few "This one time..." stories.

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

Fair point. Complicated descriptions may have an exaggeration, but relative to simply left/right it's still mildly accurate. I'm not a sensory thinker so pulling from objects other than what I'm referencing seems like adding a few extra cognitive steps. Silly, I'm aware, but that's my brain.

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

Nice job renaming stage and audience to bed and standing. I would've used their original terms. Our bed is not a stage and we don't entertain an audience so that would've gotten weird/entertaining at some point.

And absolutely agree. I was dumbfounded when he said otherwise. There's a good few who agree with the logic. Personifying the bed breaks that logic though.

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

I'll have to counter his argument with this. I think it nullifies the standing at the foot line of thinking.

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

Left/right are ambiguous terms.

Your solution would be a great way to practice spatial awareness. Could get exhausting constantly reorienting to where is north, but would benefit us in any post apocalyptic future.

Mostly_Harmless_Variant OP ,

When we sleep, the monsters are at our 6.

Skip the jam and mix peanut butter with maple syrup. Works better on pancakes but in a pinch toast will do

Thank you for saving the rest of us from obsessively puzzling this out.

Turned on my computer yesterday and this popped up. No option to decline. I had to go into the registry last week get all traces of OneDrive out. It's worse than just ads; it's also forcing its other products. Like: Bitch, I'm just here for your OS. Fuck off with all your neediness.

If they weren't so rare I wonder how many people would catch, dry and cast in resin to make jewelry with them.

Struggling to tolerate wife's haircut

I typically don't care about things like hairstyle, makeup or clothes. But my wife has started giving herself a buzz cut and I simply hate it. I told her and she grew it out for a while, but she said longer hair was making her depressed and it needed to be a buzz cut. She said it just looks like her when she sees it. Part of me...

Mostly_Harmless_Variant ,

I'm a white straight cis-woman who hates my hair and would buzz cut if it were more socially acceptable. It's not a gender thing; it's a tactile-sensory thing. I dislike it on my neck and face and hate the cost and experience of monthly maintenance to keep a cute pixie cut. A good hairstyle (by good I mean one you feel good in) definitely matters. I'm doing my hair longer now to get it in a pony tail. Don't love it at all, but while it's was growing out I felt frumpy and depressed. I would feel more confident if I could buzz mine without this stigma. If I were more courageous I would but the last time I had it very low people were judgy and to me it's wasn't worth the reactions.

But I don't think your post is actually about the hair cut. There's a lot of feelings you both your ends on what it means and what you think it means but may not. A healthy relationship IMO needs to talk about these openly. Even if you find you're growing in different directions, if you love her, try to support her being authentic to herself. You may find your relationship can be stronger for it.
