@kdfrawg you're absolutely right
@kdfrawg I keep meaning to write about it but i never have the time or energy lately :(
@kdfrawg nods yep i get you. i feel that way about having biological children. like… i don't think my genetics are that amazing, and it doesnt' matter that much to me. adoption is almost impossible in australia though unless you foster, and then my fear would be my emotional capacity for looking after a kid with emotional needs and issues because i have so many myself. but for me kids isn't an absolutely necessary thing- because i have issues among other things haha

@kdfrawg i shouldn't LOL, because I actually feel bad for my ex :/. but thankfully i'm no longer pre-occupied.
tbh my interest in other people was starting to wane even before i met her. she just happened to be fortunate to break through my unwillingness to get close to anyone
@kdfrawg indeed. i guess it's the old 'how do i move on from my first love' business. i mean, i've moved on in the sense of not being into her (haven't been for many years), but i haven't found anyone new to be that great or exciting either. and i don't compare people to her, well, not anymore. even if i did compare them to her, these days anyone would benefit from that comparison because she's so messed up LOL.
@kdfrawg the interesting thing is that the pop culture feminist narrative is that as men we need to argue with these guys pretty much constantly. and obviously i do. but i realised that most of those guys just don't even listen. and they get really angry and hostile and crazy if a man challenges them! it's almost quite funny, except that you know it's completely ineffective. anyway i think a difference can be made with people who have the potential to go one way or another depending on guidance. but also, i find i can influence people i'm close to but definitely not strangers
@jws IKR!!! i swear that comic is also >10 years old, and i still think of it all the time HAHA
