@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon My father once told me that he went to a grocery store and saw a woman with pink hair. He obviously was looking for me to express outrage that a woman would color her own hair so. Instead, I replied "so." He said that she shouldn't have dyed her hair pink because he didn't find it attractive.
I'll admit that my brain froze at that moment. The level of misogyny to say "a woman shouldn't do anything that a random guy finds unattractive" was staggering. 1/2
@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon I should add that the pink hair lady comment came after he mentioned seeing a "guy in a dress." When I didn't react with horror, my father asked if I'd wear a dress. I said "It's not for me, but I'm not going to judge someone who wants to."
Oh, and my wife had been thinking of getting her hair dyed purple. My father's "pink" comment pushed her further down the path. She's looking into dyes and wants to do a streak first. I'm supporting her.
2/2
@TechyDad Ah, so I'll bet she'd like something from LimeCrime. Loads of fantastic colors in shampoos, conditioners and full coverage masks. LimeCrime: https://limecrime.com/collections/shop-all-hair
The darker her hair is the more like a reflect hue (most visible in sunlight) these colors will be, instead of the color it looks like in the bottle.
@TechyDad @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon I am further convinced every day that those on the right are positive that everyone in their sphere thinks exactly how they think and are SHOCKED when we don’t.
There is a 0% chance that they will ever try to understand those who are not 100% like themselves. We should either conform, or disappear.
@LenW @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon This is definitely true of my father. He'll often tell me that my (liberal like me) sister agreed with him on something. When I ask her, though, she says that she disagreed with him.
I've learned that my father will think that you agree with him unless you EXTREMELY STRONGLY disagree. And even then, there's a decent chance that he'll remember you agreeing with him.
It's really frustrating.
@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Really nice burn.
But… I am the only one to see that the reply doesn't mention the original poster (@AJA_Cortes) ?
Has the OP even seen this reply ? Is there a link to check if it is real or fake ?
