Okay, I'll play your game: assuming sexism can be applied to both genders, then so what? Women being sexist doesn't achieve anything. Maybe, occasionally, it'll get a man fired, but most time it's just women venting and men's feelings getting hurt. Men's sexism results in murder, abuse, assault, sexist laws, sexist public opinion, etc With that said, do these really seem like the same thing?

I Googled the dictionary definition just for kicks, and it does clarify "especially towards women", but in case that isn't enough: The point is, sexism is a power dynamic. You need to have power over the person you're being sexist towards. Men are born with power simply because they are men, and women do not have that power because they're not men. I'll use racism as an example: imagine the 1920's era, or any other super racist time you want. Black people could hate white people. They could call them names and stuff if they wanted. But they would never be the president, they would never be the boss of, they would never pass laws discriminating against white people. But since white people were in power, white people could kill them, blame them, and do whatever the heck crap they wanted. Those white people were being racist. Those black people could be rude to white people, but they couldn't be racist: they could only discriminate, but they didn't have the power to do anything else. Anyway, as I stated earlier, all the issues men face in regards to this stuff is a result of the patriarchy, so it's basically men causing these problems for themselves.

how is this possible omg

okay ewww I agree with everything Godot said. SMH. I think everyone here is just jumping on the fact that for once men are taking some abuse. And is it wrong to discriminate against men? Yeah. But you all are completely invalidating everything shitty that happens to women. Sacha mentioned the patriarchy earlier on--it's men's faults that men are called sexist when they do things. We live in a patriarchal society, and because of this MEN pick how they are portrayed. Men are the ones mocking men when they get raped (and feminist groups usually are the ones standing up for those men), men are the ones creating rules about how to act around women, men are the ones who have created this stereotype against themselves about being "strong, tough, not caring about pain or family". That view is thankfully changing, but it's because of the patriarchy that men are being discriminated against. Laws and most peoples' actions are based on how they were raised and what they were taught to believe, and they were brought up in a patriarchy. Women can be discriminatory towards men (after, you know, hundreds upon hundreds of years of abuse) but men are the ones who are making things like short paternity leaves, etc. okay. Literally none of this is the fault of women. Women can't be sexist against men anyway. Sexism is like racism in the respect that you need to be in a position of power to be racist/sexist against someone. A black person cannot be racist toward a white person because they don't have an entire nation catering to them (aka power), BUT they can discriminate. It's the same for men and women. Women cannot be sexist toward men because they don't have the same power in society (aka sexism).

Because what you originally said was extremely rude. Telling a suicidal person to suck it up while they're in emotional pain is the same as telling someone who just got their legs blown off and is in agonizing pain, wishing they were dead because the pain is so bad and it's not ending, to "suck it up because wishing you were dead is selfish"

No matter why you said it, you did tell a suicidal person to suck it up, and when you're extremely suicidal, someone saying that can validate in your mind "yep, I was right, no one cares about me."

I'm gonna recommend you ignore everyone telling you it's selfish and to suck it up. I have been suicidal in the past, so I do understand where you're coming from. I know it seems like there's no way you could ever be happy and there's no way it could ever get better, but you're gonna be completely stunned when you make it through this. You won't feel like this forever, and life takes some crazy turns, so you might be okay again sooner than you think. As recent as 7 or 8 months ago I was considering taking my own life, but now I'm happier than I've ever been. I know it's hard to believe that you'll be happy and loved from where you're at right now, but trust me, you will. And to have thought this is not selfish--don't let anyone guilt-trip you into thinking that. Suicide is an act of desperation when someone's in terrible emotional distress. It would be a terrible, terrible thing if the world lost you, because to someone someday you're going to make an impact if you haven't already. You'll be happy and valuable and I promise you that, money-back guarantee. But don't let the guilt-tripping get to you--you're depressed and that's okay and you can move on from feeling like this. I'd recommend asking your family to get you counseling, and talking to them or someone else you trust about how you feel more often. You could also try making some positive changes in your life (ex. complimenting one person a day, going ice skating just for the heck out it, etc.) It might not get better immediately, but it's worth it to keep going.

I MIGHT GET TO SING A FROZEN DUET FOR THEATER OH MY GOD???

In America, yeah, it's fairly abnormal, but honestly I think people can do whatever they want. Kids are taught from elementary school that cigarettes are dangerous, and through middle and high school they're subjected to gross videos of smokers/former smokers. So there's no doubt this girl probably has seen some icky films about cigarettes and has been well-informed of the risks. I think it's stupid of her to do it regardless, but honestly you're not going to stop someone. If they're aware of the risks and do something anyway, that's their issue.

Drowning is the scariest way to die. Like last advisory my school was talking about likely ways to die and the riskiness of everything and weighing what in life is worth doing or not, and drowning was on the list. I just can't imagine anything more terrifying?? Idk it just seems so awful I don't even want to think about drowning.

do colleges see your weighted or unweighted gpa when you apply?

i never go to other people's houses for sleepovers. if i get sick of them it's hard to leave, and then i have to sleep in a sleeping bag or on their couch, so i always invite them over to my house.

valentine's day gifts are overrated yeah, getting some chocolate or something would be nice, but I'd rather watch a movie or play some games with someone instead of having them waste money on some candy that'll only be enjoyed by me
