    Saying “After 2 years with college professors” seems creepy to me, like he thinks college professors are supposed to take over the parents’ role.

      This person you see but have minimal interaction with a few times a week for 13 weeks really screams parental figure.

      They think education is flawed. It’s part of the GOP indoctrination. What you’re saying is morbidly comical, but the real reason is how the Right regard education.

        It’s crazy. They literally treat a lack of knowledge like a badge of honor. They genuinely believe they deserve a gold star for proactively avoiding knowing shit. It’s real. It’s wild.

          Evangelist Christians genuinely believe that “earthly knowledge” is pointless once you are saved and are at the gates of heaven, so yes.

      And wild that he thinks that the professors are giving out fashion advice rather than calculus and shit.

      And it wasn’t professors who taught her to respect and value people who weren’t like her, it was just meeting them.

        My physics professor was the most physics professor looking physics professor the world has ever produced. He was definitely not giving out fashion tips.

        Unless of course you are a fan of ugly brown woollen affairs and tweed jackets with patches on the elbows.

          My physics professor was Italian and a very snappy dresser. Although, he also wore shorts and soccer jerseys some days.

          Very funny guy and could do trig out to several decimal places in his head. He was one of those rare professors that was doing research but still a great teacher. He was responsible for making math ‘click’ for me and helped me realize the joy of math.

          My physics prof wore white socks with soccer ball-patterned slide on sandals. Normal business casual other than that, unless you count hair that hadn’t been bruised in a decade. Year round even in snow. And rode his bike to campus like that daily. Very fun dude.

      As a man who currently plans to marry a woman that chooses to dress very modestly and doesn’t like tattoos, that woman looks great and beauty comes in many forms. Don’t be a fool and enjoy all beauty. The tree’s, the human’s, the music’s. Life is better if you allow yourself to enjoy “things” for their kind of beauty and not complain about the lack of some other kind.

          The confidence. I love people who are weird because one. they have confidence to be whatever they want to be. Two. Have interests that either align with mine, or have a passion that makes me interested in them as well.

          Passion and confidence, regardless of what it’s for is extremely attractive.

          Maybe there is a kind of beauty in the weirdness that you like.

          I wasn’t talking about beauty as only visual beauty, but also the beauty of a kind soul. The beauty of the little flaws that make us.

    The person everyone forces you to be vs the person you are for yourself.

    “Should we ban self-expression, or just limit it away from women?”

    Okay buddy.

    I don’t personally find tattoos appealing.

    But there are studies that say tattooing provides women and particularly survivors of sexual trauma a sense of ownership and authority over their bodies.

    Unfortunately there are also studies that say that outside of the EU, many tattoo inks contain lead, cadmium, arsenic, and carcinogens.

      Thank you. I was wondering what I was missing when thinking all this through. I don’t have any myself, but have wondered about the range of motivations for folks that get more than one. I figured it was at least tribal and wealth (expensive, can’t be stolen) expression. Body modification as a way to exercise autonomy and agency - that absolutely tracks with folks I’ve met.

      They want the freedom to judge and ridicule others and the freedom to dictate who gets rights… Not actual freedom for everyone.

    I can guarantee you repelling guys like him is absolutely a contributing factor to the decision to get tattoos and piercings. Funny how he can’t comprehend he’s the reason why.

      Left image: trying to follow society’s rigid standards

      Right image: following your heart regardless of what others say

      No wonder she looks happier - she’s free!
