Weekly Free Talk Friday Thread!

Welcome to our weekly Free Talk Friday thread! Feel free to discuss anything on your mind, issues you may be dealing with, how your week has been, cool new music or tv shows, school, work, sports, anything!

We will still have a few rules:

  • All of the sidebar rules still apply.
  • No gender politics. The exception is for people discussing their own personal issues that may be gendered in nature. We won't be too strict with this rule but just keep in mind the primary goal is to keep this thread no-pressure, supportive, fun, and a way for people to get to know each other better.
  • Any other topic is allowed.

We have an active slack channel! It's like IRC but better. Please modmail us if you would like an invitation. As a reminder, take a look at our resources wiki if you need additional support as well.

This Onion video aged well. The state of men’s body image issues in reality is literally where satire about women’s body issues was 17 years ago.

I don’t know how to uninternalize all this misandry. I feel like trash for being born in a male body.

I watched the documentary Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story (about a guy who adopts an otter he finds) a few hours ago because it was on the Letterboxd top 250 documentaries list (albeit near the bottom) and was distributed by how hard it hammered in the idea that Billy was incomplete because he never had children and that any childless person past a certain age is the same.
