being a member of something like freemasonry, but not the same, a lot of the appeal is the actual social community you share with people outside family and work, and the chance for contemplation within ritual work
well in germany we have lots of male-only student fraternities
I was thinking that one of the few reasons one would have to join something like that is for the community activities but I'm kinda...anti-social that way. I really haven't tied myself to this community in any way outside of what's needed to be welcomed
and afaik most freemason lodges are men only or women only, not mixed
Yeah this one is a men's only of course I did know that. Still...too many expectations. I'm too busy in real life for that
there is also "menhouses"
for men escaping their abusive wifes
that also gets money by the state
No shit?! I'mma ask Bubba about that to see if they have one here
well I'm talking germany
I think europe is a bit different on some of those things
like in sweden they introduced military conscription for women as well, not just men to make it more fair
There are FOUR big houses (EVE shelters) for women but I have seen nothing around here for the menfolk
I read 20% of victims of domestic violence are men, so they probably should have one for the men too
Hey, they wanted equality...they need to obey the rules just like the rest of us
are those funded by the state?
Actually that figure is likely just the ones that get reported...technically I'M an abuse victim too...from my first marriage. There was something DEEPLY wrong with that chick but boy she could rock the sheets
that's such a cliché
sexual intensity of violent people
But it's TRUE! In my experience the crazy ones are less inhibited in bed
just because somethign is a cliche doesn't mean it isn't true
But now I'm all about Don't stick your D in crazy....just nope out when you see red flags...which is pretty much all the time
oh and the houses for men, they state explictily it is both for victims of physical and psychological violence by their wifes/girlfriends
I'd assume the psychological violence is even way more common than physical by women
Oh definitely but if you've got a woman that's perfectly fine throwing cookware at you or taking a baseball bat to you in your sleep then psychological abuse isn't much of a stretch
that's even threat of physical abuse
Oh, she never just threatened...if she was yelling and suddenly left the room, RUN!
I think that is also a problem in upbringing, while boys are being taught to not be violent, people don't really teach girls that to the same extend
You're spot on! I have a 23 year old daughter and 20 year old son from that practice marriage and they're unhinged largely due to their awesome-sauce totally sane mother
My 4 year old daughter from my second marriage is more well behaved
children imitate their parents actions more than their words, that is true too, if at least one of the parents shows shit behaviour in their actions children may well be impacted in their own behaviour
and then learn it the hard way trough the justice system (or not)
@rart If I may ask, how do you make a living beside your assets?
I'm a telecom specialist for A certain phone company
like a communication engineer?
Field Operations, telephone cable repair and splicing
or on what level
ah ok
like, you open boxes in the neighborhoods, install DSLAMs, connect that stuff, sometimes open the street to find a disconnected cable and fix it
that kind of stuff?
