Pet Peeves

[dysert]

I have a serious pet peeve, and I've encountered it way too often. I can't understand how a sci-fi or fantasy author can invent such amazing worlds, but can only conceive of women in kinder and kuche roles! How can they be so creative about worlds and societies, but females are still the sexist stereotype?

That's easy: sex sells.

I'm not talking about sex; I try to avoid books like that. I mean more like how women are portrayed in I, Robot, just to use that as an example.

I know what you mean, I think. I don't remember seeing I Robot. Interesting that today even the Pakistani military has women soldiers. The Victorian fainting waif image of women is a thing of the past so thoroughly, in Western countries, although maybe not completely absent in fiction or films.

So I guess you want your daughter to feel free to pursue a wide and responsible range of careers, traditional or not, right?

For me, career consideration for both of my children is completely based on what their God given talents and their own interests are, combined with economic feasibility. Their reproductive roles have nothing to do with it, although it will later when and if they do have kids of their own.

Do you have children, too?

We don't, no. We've been married a good few years but we were a bit older when we tied the knot, anyway.

So how old would your 2 be? (roughly if you don't want to say too precisely).

Okay so pet peeve: tax hikes on the price of gas.

I have a teen AND a toddler. God has a sense of humour.

Pet peeve- People telling me the obvious as if it weren't already obvious to me.

did i mention this already?

when hosts interrupt their guests (especially when the guest is just getting to a crucial point)

My pet peeve is when someone acts like they're absolutely certain they're right and they don't have all their facts straight, or they refuse to listen to others' opinions.

Like, "You must agree with me because I want you to be right!"

LOL

Politicians telling lies about the reason they want to put up taxes.

When the dog's tie-up cable gets wrapped around a tree or something and I have to go out there and unwrap her, and it seems to happen most often when it is raining or cold.

Hey, a pet peeve about a pet. Good one

candle wicks that break off or don't last as long as the candle does

Making your own candles would be a nice hobby

calling SNACKS---> "MUNCHIES"

I don't like the word "goodies" either. Or the word "jammies".

 

[daughterofthemosthigh7]

married men claiming to be Christians who brag about what "good" marriages they have but spend 24/7 online flirting with other women...

 

[lucypevensie]

The fact that most athletic shoes have little to no arch support for people like me who need that.

It really irks me when people answer a different question than the one that was asked because they don't know the answer and they don't want to admit that.
