RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Especially with my dad. I can't swear or bring up anything sexual around him, who I live with, even if it's a sexual harassment experience because "I caused it" and it was my fault, or at least he used to say that. So did an aunt of mine, his annoying sister. He says also because I'm a woman, I can't swear or say anything sexual.

I think people should be able to bring up dark topics and sexual stuff, even if it directly happened to them and they want to express themselves. Kids should be able to and women should too.

Your dad sounds like he's fucking Satan.

I hope that you have some people in your life that you can get support from. Please don't let mysoginists undermine or gaslight you to think that you don't matter. Wishing you well, OP.

Thank you. My dad, sadly, is super Conservative in the American sense as we live in the U.S.

I'm with you, I think gender has no place in society, they are an outdated concept based on control. Everyone deserves the same rights regardless of their physical body. I'm sorry you had to experience that, unfortunately people like those will just blame you or make fun of you for sexual abuse, maybe because of a hidden guilt or insecurity?

You're right. TYSM. My dad also thinks it's the woman's fault for having an unwanted pregnancy because she had sex
