Though I like Shadowheart too, I had a crush on Karlach pretty much immediately. I had no choice but to romance her. She’s so sincere and adorable!

you forgot these hits:

• Oops! I Did it Again??? (running into things so often that you’re constantly finding bruises you don’t remember getting)
• Analysis Paralysis
• Justice Sensitivity (it totally helps to live in a fascist state)
• Having Mental Breakdowns Over Trivialities Disorder✨️
  • Hard mode: surprise, PMS too! fuck you loser lol

Gee. It’s almost like language evolves!

What would you prefer that people say instead?

yeah, but some people will in there for life regardless. perhaps one of them will feel an overwhelming urge to dispatch justice. :)

probably not, but a girl can dream.

apparently there’s some law in the UK that mandates it now 🙄

when I was in high school, I found a puppy (not totally sure, but I’m guessing a pit bull/lab mix) on the porch of my parent’s place a few days before Christmas. Best guess is someone dumped her off at the property, since it’s a farm in a relatively remote area.

Anyway, I convinced my parents to let us keep her. Charlie was an extremely beautiful and sweet dog. But eventually I left for college and moved away.

During the last few years of her life/she would act erratically around me when I’d visit. One second she’d be happy to see me, and the next she growled and snapped at me, and did this to others, too. I ended up having to avoid her entirely. Devastating, to say the least.

We never found out why, despite visits to the vet. Dementia, perhaps.

If you actually look at at the graphs, they all show a pretty significant and stead drop over the decades.

if you actually read my comment, I’ve already mentioned its decline. maybe you need a refresher. :)

means at least 87% of the population don’t hold this view.

thanks. believe it or not, I do know how percentages work. But at no point did I claim that most of the population feels this way.

A group of people doesn’t have to be a majority to be statistically significant. If 13% of people suddenly woke up with arms growing from the tops of their heads, you’d be noticng them all the damn time, unless you’re a recluse.

This absolutely has a real-world effect on who is voted into office, especially when you also consider which demographics vote. And consequently, less exposure to women in politics in office = a slower rate of acceptance of them.

Not to mention, again, the rise of conservatism that is certainly not helping the matter.

So while my experience is ancedotal, this shows

Yeah so as I mentioned, I’ve had a different experience. Are you a woman? Do you frequently seek out discussions about/research on/history of women? gender studies? inequality?

Because otherwise, there’s no wonder why you haven’t experienced what I have.

Your experience doesn’t show anything. Neither does mine, because anecdotes are not, nor ever will be, valid evidence of anything useful in discussions about social or political issues.

Your life experiences don’t necessarily reflect those of everyone else, FYI. I’ve seen and heard this or some other "women are too emotional/illogical/irrational/cryptic/ect too many times.

There are relatively recent studies/surveys, like this one (PDF) that suggest that a pretty significant portion of the population still feel women are too emotional to be in politics. 13% as of 2019 in that one.

While I’d think—or at least hope—that this is still going down overall, the rise in conservativism is definitely slowing the decline.
