  For context: I (20F, asexual) mostly pretend not to get crude comments and innuendos, because 1. It is funny, watching people trying to explain them and 2. It gives me an excuse to ignore them. Furthermore I look and dress like I just escaped a sunday-school.<br>So a few years ago a classmate of mine bragged in sex-ed, how stores don’t have condoms his size. I, without missing a beat, asked him, if he tried ordering them from a not-EU-country, because most of them don’t have a minimal size requirement for condoms. I never again had to deal with crude comments from this classmate.

  You are under no obligation to be courteous to the people who treated you poorly.

  My Dad was a biker, way back in the 1950s. &nbsp;Him and his friends went on a trip to North Wales; and walked into a pub. The place went silent and then started talking to each other, in Welsh (back then Welsh was only spoken in a very few parts of north and mid Wales, so they assumed none of my dad&apos;s party would understand). Unfortunately, for them, one of my dad&apos;s friends was from Wales and understood every nasty remark that the locals were coming out with. After a few minutes of this he turned around and said them, in Welsh, &quot;If you do not pack it in, me and my friends may decide to re-arrange this pub and the people in it.&quot;. He didn&apos;t mean it because they weren&apos;t that sort; but, because they were on motorbikes and in leathers, the point was made.

  Creeps get uncomfortable when confronted about catcalling etc because the purpose is never to actually compliment or give feedback to the other person. The purpose is to make the recipient uncomfortable. They don&apos;t like being called out for being jerks

  Yeah abandoning your kids is just asking for them to abandon you back... justifiably.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUIRGrjCeHA&amp;t=171">2:51</a> My grandmaster says ‘Never start fights, always finish them,’ and I know he would be wiping his eyes in pride that all these young women are finishing fights like this

  Fat-shaming of a pregnant lady is more common than people think. My aunt told my back then heavily pregnant cousin that she should start thinking about how she will loose weight after the birth and that she should loose more than she weight before so she&apos;ll be still attractive to her husband. My aunt and my mother also proceeded to body-shame the baby after it was born, saying it was really huge (not fate-wise) for a baby, basically complaining about it (the baby looked at 3 month old like a 6 month old). I had called them out on that. They just looked at me like I&apos;m ridiculous for saying that and said &quot;Body-shaming? That&apos;s not body-shaming!&quot;

  Parents kicked her out at 18 for being gay, then 11 years later try to guilt her into taking them in to &quot;show the same support they did?&quot; My answer&apos;d be &quot;yeah, that&apos;s exactly what I&apos;m doing. have a nice life.&quot;

  The first time a boy in school said he had a &apos;crush&apos; on me was in seventh grade, the last two weeks of school. And even though I&apos;d been going INSANE in front of my mom bc of this kid, who was a major bully of mine, her and both of my sisters were saying &apos;Oh he just likes you! You should give him a chance! He seems nice enough&apos;.<br><br>It only took the entire car ride (20-30 minutes) of my glaring at them and pretty much screaming that he&apos;d bullied me the entire year for them to never bring it up again.

  RE: Daughter with the homophobic parents. The biggest issue here for me, is the very young daughter this couple has. Their biggest priority in life is their child, her needs come first. Allowing estranged grandparents who are actively homophobic and toxic towards her mothers to live there, is a HUGE risk to the child&apos;s mental health and happiness. If people can&apos;t be sure you won&apos;t be toxic and hateful about a child&apos;s parents, then you don&apos;t get to live in the same home as them.

  Seeing a woman with a baby and asking when she&apos;s going to have another is kinda weird. I wonder what they&apos;d say if you acted horrified and asked &quot;Another? Are you implying there&apos;s something wrong with this one!? Are you threatening to steal it!?&quot;<br><br>And yeah, some of those old ladies would probably just say &quot;they deserve a sibling, it&apos;s good for them&quot; or something similar and be unfazed. But maybe it&apos;d throw them off for a moment.
