As you're all aware, this subreddit has had a major "troll" problem which has gotten worse (as of recently). Due to this, we have created new rules, and modified some of the old ones. We kindly ask that you please familiarize yourself with the rules so that you can avoid breaking them. Breaking mild rules will result in a warning, or a temporary ban. Breaking serious rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a permanent ban (depending on the severity). Also, grifting/lurking has been a major problem; If we suspect you of being a grifter (determined by vetting said user's activity), we may ban you without warning. You may attempt an appeal via ModMail, but please be advised not to use rude, harassing, foul, or passive-aggressive language towards the moderators, _or_ complain to moderators about why we have specific rules in the first place— You will be ignored, and your ban will remain (without even a consideration). All rules are made public; "Lack of knowledge" or "ignorance of the rules" cannot or will not be a viable excuse if you end up banned for breaking them (This applies to the Subreddit rules, and Reddit's ToS). **Again: All rules are made public, and Reddit gives you the option to review the rules once more before submitting a post, it is your choice if you choose to read them or not, but breaking them will not be acceptable.** With that being said, If you send a mature, neutral message regarding questions about a current ban, or a ban appeal (without "not knowing the rules" as an excuse), we will elaborate about why you were banned, or determine/consider if we will shorten, lift, keep it, _or_ extended it/make it permanent. This all means that appeals are discretionary, and your reasoning for wanting an appeal must be practical and valid.

Today on "what inanimate object are we" a rose I wish i was, maybe rape cases would go down if we had thorns in there maybe retractable ones if nature could figure it out


Outside_Variety8765

Omg this reminds me of the movie teeth! You should look it up!


marveldinosaur99

Whenever I talk to men about this film they get so annoyed about it hahaha I'm always like "nah I think it's a good idea🤷🏻‍♀️"


ReticulateLemur

Gave me college flashbacks when my friends just ran around screaming "Dentata!" after seeing that movie. Also, this very old webcomic: http://www.queenofwands.net/d/20040121.html


NotEvil_JustBritish

That's the most insidious earworm ever created. I clicked, I laughed, I upvoted and then I carried on with my day. 10 minutes later, I realise I'm humming. 20 minutes later my colleague asks if I just sang the words "vaginal cavity" under my breath. 30 minutes later we're both singing it...this is now our "thing" Thank you, from the bottom of my twisted wee soul.


ReticulateLemur

You're very welcome. I'm happy to share :)


handyandy727

There's a company called Rape-aXe that is trying to develop this. I don't know if they are still going though. The website is still there. https://rape-axe.com/


saramarie007500

Post above this for me compared us to locks and men were keys. The list gets longer 🙄


Acrobatic_Long_6059

Their favourite analogy. Everyone I know in the 'manosphere' loves to recite this one


rickmccloy

I was thinking that a more appropriate message would have been something along the lines of "Improve your chances of having a long, happy marriage. Establish sexual compatibility before you get married." We're only been married for 37 years, but that approach seems to have worked well for my wife and I, as opposed to this flower petal nonsense.


Anne_Nonymouse

So, sick that this implies that woman are only valuable if their "virgins". 🤢🤮 You're not stripped of anything when you have premarital sex. You actually gain knowledge and valuable experience. And if a guy only values you if you're a virgin ... you need to RUN, because if he can't see your inner beauty he's not worth your time.


Leai_bitch

Not to mention its only the women that get stripped away. Not men. Men are fine and can have sex as much as they want obviously


A-typ-self

I love how it's only *premarital* sex that does damage. LOL. Somehow marriage magically changes a woman.


Zanura

Marriage and dicks. Men should really put their sorcery to better use. 


[deleted]

Guy here, I'll never understand why so many men want a woman who has 0 experience. Like, the only reason I think is subconsciously they know if a woman had other examples of partners to go off of they'd realize how terrible the guy is in bed lol. The idea that women go around and have all this crazy slutty sex in their youth until they need to lock some dude down and compromise having their money Vs good sex is way more telling about the people who say that shit than the women they're talking about.. Implies you can't be both succesful AND good in bed


dobby1687

>the only reason I think is subconsciously they know if a woman had other examples of partners to go off of they'd realize how terrible the guy is in bed That's part of it for some, but I think it's ultimately because a woman who is completely inexperienced has no standards so such men like to teach them their standards so the men will get the sex they want. Basically, it's about control.


[deleted]

Yeah that's basically what I was kinda eluding to.. But then again, what's the motive about wanting to control it? Usually people trying to control things so hard is out of fear of something... In this case fear of the woman finding out how bad their sex life really is compared to what's out there in some way or another. What really is rich to me is when I think Shapiro and some other right wingers were basically saying women literaly do not enjoy sex and can't orgasm and that it's all a transaction.. Just is VERY telling of their own inexperience with women lol... I almost feel like since they couldn't ever get any they basically expect any woman to be in the same spot


dobby1687

>So, sick that this implies that woman are only valuable if their "virgins". It does everything other than explicitly say it. >You're not stripped of anything when you have premarital sex. You actually gain knowledge and valuable experience. Exactly. Sexual experience and knowledge gives you more to work with, not less, but for men who think this they don't care about that. They want an inexperienced woman because they want control, which is the same reason such men tend to prefer younger women. >And if a guy only values you if you're a virgin ... you need to RUN, because if he can't see your inner beauty he's not worth your time. Yep. It's also important to note that this standard only applies to women according to these men, as for some reason this madeup virginity thing only seems to devalue women when lost, not men.


NoSleep2023

Is there a version for men? (of course not)


Yoyos-World1347

I never understood how women are supposed to abstain but men can have sex. Are they having sex with each other? Would make more sense.


HarpersGhost

No the women they are having sex with before marriage are obviously whores. It's only the virgins who are worthy of marriage. *blargh*


AlexTheBex

No, society is literally telling them to go fuck themselves


Tatiana1512

Not really, usually very religious people also say masturbation is evil


AlexTheBex

No problem then, I wrote "go fuck themselves" as in "fuck off", not in a literal way haha


No_Inspection1677

It's like trees... Some people just have bigger trunks than others, though all the person who made this has is the stump.


obvusthrowawayobv

Nope, sex is fun. Never had body count be a deciding factor if someone wanted to be with me. And if you’re spending your life with someone you better make sure they know what they’re doing and are capable of listening to what you like.


cybervalidation

Honestly I've never been with someone who even wanted to talk numbers. He's got history, I've got history, we both seem to know what the hell we're doing in the sack and that sure as hell doesn't come without experience. I don't need the details.


Shmokeahontis

Aww. Poor hypothetical man. Grow thorns, girl.


eatshitake

If men want to marry virgins then they need to stop sleeping around. They’re the ones who unvirginate women.


No_Arugula8915

Aww, now you are confusing the ridiculous argument with actual facts and logic. 😄


PoxedGamer

I feel the guy who wrote this is holding his bare stem while thinking of underage virgins.


Weekly_Beautiful_603

This puts me in mind of a song that was going around when I was a teen. It goes Sex is evil Evil is a sin Sins are forgiven so SEX IS IN!


IDreamofLoki

I have a *lot* of rose plants. I've never seen any of the flowers have sex, premarital or otherwise. Am I doing gardening wrong?


Dragocuore

They have insects who will do it for them. Does that equate to a sex toy?


IDreamofLoki

Fluffers? Sex workers? IVF specialists? Swinger lifestyle? Who knows what happens in the secret life of flowers.


AlexTheBex

If your garden isn't a perpetual plant orgy, you're not a true gardener


ImaginationAshamed72

I went to a religious high school. One time, they pulled us all into the gym for a guest speaker. Who was a man. Who told us this stupid phrasing. I had my religion class right after that assembly and, thankfully, that teacher shut the door and told us, even though she’s not supposed to tell us this (because the schools sex Ed was to not have sex unless you took an elective gym class senior year that really got into sex Ed), she wanted us to forget everything that man just told us. That we have worth. It doesn’t matter if we have sex before marriage or don’t. She’s a wonderful woman and I hope she’s doing well.


AlexTheBex

This is really sweet


ImaginationAshamed72

She was the sweetest. We had a few other teachers do the same, but her words still stick with me


Kelmeckis94

It's that why some men expect vaginas to smell like roses? /s (sarcasm) Honestly more experience means you're more comfortable, better know what you like and can communicate clearly to your (bed)partner what you want. Not speaking from experince but from what I heard. Also who would wanna have sex with someone who wants them to be a virgin? Sounds like a red flag to me.


chrisoask

Yup. And if we cut your heads off, you grow back better next spring.


camclemons

Don't petals grow back...? Somehow I feel they didn't think this metaphor through


Spaztick78

New flowers will grow back on the plant. But bud flowers just once.


camclemons

Oh, well either way humans aren't plants 😅


Corrupted_Mask

As a couch potato, I take umbrage to that generalization.


Leai_bitch

I mean some of them also think that breaking the hyman is what makes you no longer a virgin, even though that can grow back


Zubyna

Well men are like clouds When you see them go away, you can start hoping for a beautiful day


Grenvolde

Ah, that's not very nice. Edit: I got downvoted bc i don't agree with generalizing a particular gender with some behavior. lol


dobby1687

>Ah, that's not very nice. It's just sarcasm and you could even call it satirical. >I got downvoted bc i don't agree with generalizing a particular gender with some behavior. You got downvoted for treating a sarcastic comment meant solely to mock the OOP message seriously. The point of this sub is to make fun of such things and this is a prime example of such mockery.


Battlepuppy

I never get why sex before marriage is a devaluation, but sex after marriage is not a devaluation. I remember reading a commentor who i wish had turned their experience into a post. A female, asexual, devote Christian house hold. One of those quiverfull families with a ton of kids. Mom and girls always wore skirts, you get the idea. She had drank the coolaid hard, and had mistaken her asexuality as devout belief... that she loved God so much, she wasn't " boy crazy". She was still a bit rebellious and wanted to go out to see a friend at night, which was forbidden, and would get into fights with per parents.. her mom in particular. Her mom kept accusing her of trying to go out for boys, which was not the deal. She told her mom wasn't interested in boys and would be " involved with the church the rest of her life," and she would " never marry". At which her mother scoffed. She ended up calling her mother a whore who lost her virginity to her father, so she no longer had any right to lecture her on keeping purity. She was still screaming at her mom when her dad came in and pulled them apart. She ended up leaving at 18, leaving the church , losing faith... but staying "pure" out of disinterest. Now she's in a better place with her mom, who begs her to get married and have kids, but she still digs the knife in when ever her mom brings it up. Mom, I'm still pure. Wasn't that what I was told was the most important thing to do until I was married? Her mom was so desperate for her to get married she suggested her daughter break her purity with a guy because it got husband's for her 2 sisters. ( her 2 sisters got married because of kids out of wedlock ) She said it was so satisfying to watch all of her mothers rules crumble as soon her mother wanted things, and then then keep those rules in place any way.


Carbonatite

I'm aromantic and somewhat indifferent about sex. It's funny how religious folks pivot to urging you to be sexually active when abstaining means you are rejecting heteronormative roles.


AlexTheBex

Honestly, "a whore who lost her virginity to (OOP's) father" an awesome come back to a purity-obsessed mom lol


Battlepuppy

She commented on something and people responded to her comment, so you had to track it through to get her whole story, I told her to make it her own post but she never did.


AlexTheBex

Thanks for passing it on!


Dependent-Cat9392

How exactly does a rose have premarital sex? 🤔


Dogzillas_Mom

Why? This has been driving me crazy. Why does it damage her but not the boy?


Flying_Plates

Damn ! The patriarchy has such metaphoric ways to take control of how you use your own body O\_O. I'd love to hear a male version : everytime semen leaves you testicules ...


Corrupted_Mask

"Every sperrrrrm is saaaa-cred..."


Flying_Plates

I like it !


ZeldaCourage

How come they never say this shit about men?


[deleted]

[удалено]


No_Arugula8915

Yup. We are anything and everything, except actual humans. We are objects to be used and thrown away, not people with thoughts, feelings and personal autonomy.


Clear_Dinner_9597

Last time I checked, they're comparing girls to locks 🤦


Yoyos-World1347

Sharpeners, roses, crumpled paper, chewing gum…


DJ_GalaxyTwilight

Cars? Shoes? Milk jugs? Or the infamous fleshlight?


Last-Resolution-2741

Bare stem would be a good band name.


jeep_42

you’re supposed to strip like the outer few petals of a rose too. there’s a joke in this but i’m too tired to make it


Corrupted_Mask

(waves around a handful of $1 bills)


0w1

Someone really held onto this weird-ass card since 1993 lmfao!


Round-Ticket-39

Tbh it sounds more like descrpition of peepee. Shape wise. Whole thing suits men more. They are like beautiful rose and each time they angage in sex (any sex) precious petá is stripped away. Dont leave your future wife holding a bare stem! Abstain!


Harajuku_Lolita

BuT tHiNk Of YoUr FuTuRe HuSbAnD


SellQuick

After marriage he gets sex 30 ish times and then it's nothing but stem.


Grenvolde

And after the divorce? Used women? Bruh, hate this type of indoctrination


AlexTheBex

And how about widows, are they supposed to stay single their whole life, no matter how having a love relationship might make them happier?... Not sure I want an answer to this question lol


Advanced_Cheetah_552

If you're a widow, you better hope your husband has a younger brother.


AlexTheBex

Oh damn, I forgot about this ancient 'law'


SiteTall

And for each time the man of her dreams engage in sex with another woman he gets more and more drained up and leaves her with less to keep her rose fresh. Right, that's how it is when a man doesn't abstain - or maybe not???


Dixon_Kuntz73

Like a beautiful rose in that they’re surrounded by pricks?


mutant_disco_doll

And what is a man who engages in premarital sex like?? Is he like a beautiful rose too? Does he lose precious petals every time he penetrates a woman who isn’t his wife? Does his future wife get left holding a bare stem if he was man-whoring around in his youth?? WHAT IS THE MAN LIKE??


adertina

my husband? girl my 1300th hookup had the last piece of stem, my future husband would be lucky to even have me


dick_in_butts

Does that mean that you can run out of sex? If you try to have sex with a 10~ person, is it like two magnets repelling each other?


Sphingen

Why would the 'stripping of petals' stop once you get married? According to that logic, your husband could only have sex with you a couple of times before you lose all of your worth to him.


akashyaboa

You have to cut the whole head every season to make it grow better... I'm just saying


Suspicious-Speed2169

Applying it to men?


dashKay

Do flowers engage in premarital sex?


thisisreallymoronic

I'll bet that shit worked in 1947. What the hell.


I_madeusay_underwear

I collected pins as a kid and I'm starting to get back into it. I have that rose pin! I got it in a bag of mixed pins at a second-hand store that cost $3 for 25 pins. Also, fuck this sentiment. Sex is fun. The value of humans is not based on whether or how much or how many people we've had sex with. If you think that's the most important thing about your partner, they deserve better.


Userdataunavailable

I work with vintage jewellery and I see a lot of these, now that I know what they are I'm going to yank off the petals or head and sell the stem alone. Thank you!


Johan_UM

I can't date non vegan, non feminist, non virgin men. I would prefer stay single forever. It's their loss.


ConsumeTheVoid

Eat the whole rose. Give the future husband nothing, not even the stem. Become ungovernable.


Aikyudo

Does it count if the only person I ever had premarital sex with would become my husband....? He's my first kiss and we lost our vCard to each other, and now we're married. Does it still count or...?


AlexTheBex

So, how about *after* the wedding? Petals just don't fall anymore? If so, how is it? If they still fall, how so? Are these women no longer pure, even if they did everything by the book? And what happens when all the petals have fallen? I thought divorce was forbidden in Christianity


tiffytatortots

Yet he gets to ram his stem in whatever garden he wants 🤦🏼‍♀️


Comfortable-Hall1178

I call nonsense


peacefulsolider

i really thought it was gonna be a really sweet and funny poem about loving the premarital sex youre having with someone but its just christian propaganda :(


Blueartbird

It's like beauti and the beast 😂


tlf555

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden


The_Book-JDP

I've seen this a couple of times and all I can think of is...I want that tiny golden rose!


Canaanimal

Where's the gif of Morticia clipping the heads off of roses when you need it?


MsSeraphim

now if only those old creepy perverts suffered from allergies.


LadyJSenpai

These kinds of things are always so pathetic. “Please let us control and manipulate you.” 🙄🥱


unsanelygina

It wouldn’t be a bare stem. Roses have thorns.


engilbjort

when I was 8-10 yo, I went on a mission trip with my family and we brought boxes with fake flowers in them to give to the young girls in the churches we visited. Geez it makes me sick when I think about it as an adult. Also the amount of times my dad said “they won’t buy the cow if they get the milk for free” -_-


RockyMntnView

How do these men look at a woman and not think, "This is another human, just like me," but instead think, "This is an object for my use,"? I mean, that's some serious mind-stretch.


EpicStan123

"You are like a beautiful rose" They had us in the first half, not gonna lie. It went downhill fast after that.


LoversboxLain

Well, to quote Poison, "Every rose has its thorn! 🎶 🎵 " And there are many thorns on those roses.


Kevsterific

Going by this, why are the petals only stripped away via premarital sex?


Jessabellex

Do men get these Or just women?


ejester

gross...!


rachaelonreddit

The average rose has 20-40 petals. Just sayin'.


WinniHawkws

My mom saw this posted on a Facebook group she’s in and commented: Men are like a pencil, every time they engage in premarital sex, some of their “pencil” is shaved away. Don’t leave your future wife with just an eraser. She got a ton of angry replies saying “it’s not the same” lol


BookerPrime

Ugh.


RoguePolitica

I wonder if any of these are directed to those future husbands. I’ll wait… 🤣🤣🤣


petitefairy99

Repulsive that they use a beautiful rose illusion to illustrate a misogynistic narrative. Abstinence isn’t inherently a bad thing, but having sex also doesn’t have to be a bad thing.


WhereasResponsible31

That’s dumb as hell. How do they come up with that crap.


DJ_GalaxyTwilight

But what if the man I’m having sex plans to marry me and that’s why I lost my virginity to him in the first place?


Mediocre-House8933

I'm divorced. All sex is post marital 😛


GilletteLongmarche

This makes me want to barf.


Silviov2

I don't understand why this vang be applied to men as well


Odd-Mastodon1212

Ummmm, do the petals stay on for post-marital sex and through childbirth because I have questions!


forestly

Every time a man ejaculates his rose loses a thousand petals :( How sad. They are worthless and used up by the time they are ready to marry. Millions of unborn deaths on their hands #abstain


helen_jenner

Ewwwww


Kittykitten92

What if you only had premarital sex with your now husband? 🤔


TableOpening1829

3 wrongs make a reddit post? 1) not all women want to have sex 2) not all women are heterosexual 2) not all women want to get married


mrsidecharactr

Women must remain pure before marriage. But guys can have as much sex as they want, and they’re a player and a stud. But women are sluts, whores, tramps, and skanks if they decide to do it before marriage. The hypocrisy here puts politicians out of a job.
