Yes. I’m not married, and I’m sometimes shocked at how some men seem to use marriage as an excuse not to learn basic life skills, especially in an age when you can learn almost any non-professional skill for free on YouTube.

My dad always did his fair share of housework, but he rarely cooked. Once I was old enough, I would cook for him whenever my mother was away. During her first trip away after I got my first job, my dad got really drunk because he didn’t feel like waiting for me to get home and make him dinner before going out. He was born in the 1940s, so I accept that his generation were raised to see cooking as feminine, but we should have moved on from that.

When I had sex ed in the late 90’s, I was shown videos with real (but obviously non-sexualized) nudity. I don’t remember there being any controversy about that at all, and I went to a Christian school (Anglican).

I’m not a native speaker, but I’ve studied Japanese for more than a decade. There are no singular, non-gendered third person pronouns, so there is no equivalent of a singular they. Although there is an equivalent of a plural they, it’s not completely gender neutral. The equivalent of him is kare, and the equivalent of her is kanojo. You can make them plural by ending “ra” on to the end of them. Kanojora is used only for groups of women/girls, and karera can be used for a group of men/boys, or a mixed-gender group. That makes the root meaning of karera male coded even if it’s used in a gender neutral manner, so non-binary people might prefer not to use that.

This shouldn’t however be a major issue for Japanese speakers, as first person pronouns are the only ones that are in frequent use. Unlike English, where you use pronouns to avoid repitition, you can completely omit them in Japanese, so instead of asking “Has Asami done her homework?” in English, you would ask “Has Asami done homework?” It’s also preferable to use names instead of 2nd/3rd person pronouns. Instead of asking “How about you?”, you’d ask “How about (person’s name)?” It’s probably much easier for a non-binary person to ask that no pronouns be used for them

I knew I was gay when I was 12. I’ve only ever been attracted to men, and I’ll be 40 next week. If you think you’re gay, you’re very likely correct. Some people’s sexualities are fluid, so you may also be “incorrect”. Either way, it doesn’t really matter. Life is not a quiz. You’re under no obligation to give the “correct answer” first time, and it’s not too late if you suddenly realize you gave the “incorrect answer” when you’re in your twenties, thirties, or even older.

Also greater visibility of communities on other instances, as they won’t be recognized until someone manually searches for them by their address. Right now you have to rely on the Lemmy Community browser or !newcommunities @lemmy.world.

Why can’t Kellogg’s go back to their wholesome familly values of being far too concerned about preventing young boys from masturbating? /s
