Unpopular among my friends it seems: I hate marijuana, I think it stinks and is not "harmless". It might help some people medically but otherwise there is no reason to take it, you look like an idiot

The breastfeeding is a superpower does the opposite of normalising it.
I breastfed both my to just over one. It's not a big deal, I don't post pictures or brag about it. It's just part of having a baby. I have no more control over it than I do making my hair grow.
Saying it's a superpower makes you (and by extension other breastfeeding mums) look like a bragging dickhead.
People need to just stop. I hate the other side of the coin as well that say you can't tell people it's better for the mum and baby because it'll hurt people's feelings. If your feelings are hurt over biological facts, you need help.
Braggy breastfeeders need to stop and cry baby formula feeders need to stop. Just give women the facts then let them make their own choice.

My mother treated me appallingly all my childhood and teen years and I couldn’t wait to leave. I only got back in touch when I had my first child. She became part of her 3 grandkids lives but after about 7yrs she was doing to them what she did with me so I ceased contact again. For nearly 20yrs I didn’t talk to her but then I was contacted by police as she’d died and they found me as only next of kin (only child). Am I sad? No I’m not. She was a bitter twisted old hag. A real narc. I can’t begin to describe how awful she was
Just an extra-I wasn’t in her will but a solicitor told me in Scotland if you’re not in the will as next of kin you can appeal. She had a wee fortune! Defrauding the DWP. Anyway I hummed and haahed, then thought fuck it. I got the last laugh. I got half her money. Rest went to charity. Karma

I was once ran off of a Facebook mum group for stating this. There was a woman who would go round and breastfeed her toddler in public spaces… including once in the middle of an aisle in a super market. Many were championing her and saw it as “empowering”. Sorry but I just couldn’t see why. It just seemed like she thrived off being an attention whore rather than it being any benefit of the child. I said what I saw and it seemed a very unpopular opinion.
A very normal bodily function doesn’t make it a “super power”. I also shit sometimes but my arse ain’t special.

The strange, aggressive pronoun/non binary types tend to be middle class, young, overly woke white people who are desperate to feel part of an “oppressed minority” and do it for attention and validation from the internet.
I don’t think anyone biologically born a man transitioned or not, should compete in any womens sport either. Especially contact sport such as MMA, boxing. But I don’t think that is an unpopular opinion to be fair.

Sex work is not empowering in the slightest, and as long as women choose to sell their bodies in whatever way they do, we will never be seen as anything but objects of pleasure in the eyes of men.
That’s not to say I judge anyone who does it, i just don’t buy into the bullshit narrative that you take charge of your body and it empowers you.

I don’t think it’s racist when people can’t pronounce your name. Half the people where I grew up couldn’t pronounce mine properly. And you know what? I don’t care

Unpopular opinion:
Young people are conditioned to expect promotion very early in careers without doing "the time" needed to get experience. Where I work, we're expected to apply for every management position going, to "progress" early etc and it's coincided with hustle culture, boss man boss babe mantras etc. I don't want to line manage. I have family and friends who line manage and they are miserable, overworked and do so much unpaid overtime. They don't get enough support and they have to deal with people's personal dramas all the time and constantly play catch up with their own work tasks.
In my team a line management position has come up. I started in my team about 5 years ago, same time as another woman 3 years younger than me (I am early 30s). Because of this team members often compare us or lump us together. The other woman is fiercely competitive to the point the rest of the team roll their eyes behind her back, she is our team's 'teacher's pet', "pick me pick me". As soon as the position for line manager came up she went full on public preparation mode, new notepads, completely different dress style, boardroom style power bun hair when she used to dress really sloppy, and she is already acting like the boss (interview is next week). I've decided not to go for it because despite enormous pressure from society to progress at any cost as young as possible I know I just DON'T WANT the stress that comes with line managing. I told a friendly colleague that I am not applying because line management is not for me at this stage of my life and they actually mde me feel like I was making some huge mistake.
Why does everyone have to become a manager? Especially in early 30s when at my age pensionable age will probably be 80 by the time I get there? There's so much time! I am in a sweetspot at the minute of being in a specialist admin grade without line management responsibilities. I am confident and comfortable. I get to log off at 5pm and have my weekends. Whereas the person who is leaving the management position is leaving because they have done essentially 2 years with so much unpaid overtime during the pandemic and had to do the work of her team when at least 3 people each individually had breakdowns over that period. It's a hot mess.
I am making a choice which I stand by, but my unpopular opinion is, why is 'progressing' such a social expectation at the earliest opportunity?
I am all for empowerment for those who want it but eff off with the constant expectations that we should all be boss babes.

You miss the point. Everyone should be free to dress and express themselves however they want.
But a man putting on lipstick and a dress does not make him a woman. To say he is is an insult to womanhood.
Men should be able to wear nail varnish and whatever just as they were in previous generations. but we now live in this werid world where gender non conforming suddenly means you're of a different sex or no sex.

Someone shared a video of their child going up to a random cow in this barn and suckling the cow’s udders. I think it was one of these petting zoo type farms.
I’m not sure that’s safe, just randomly attaching yourself to a cow like that.

Most people don't have the balls to stand for themselves and their own wishes, instead, they do what's socially acceptable even if that makes them unhappy.

Eddie Izzard can get in the bin. Yes, he/she/they are free to wear what they want, but let's stop this reductive bullshit of womanhood being lipstick, a skirt, and a pair of heels. It's insulting, embarrassing and pathetic. He/she/they also uses it for their advantage, cannily playing male parts when suits, becoming a woman when suits, whilst stamping on women who might not be wearing as much lippie as him. It's total bullshit and I'm fucking sick of it.

Call me old school but I care very little for all these strange pronouns. I will refer to a “non binary” simply as a he or she. I can tell the difference no matter how ambiguous they think they appear. If he or she is offended by nature it’s not my issue.
Why are we constantly told to “trust science” until it comes to the issue of what people biologically are?

I know we aren’t meant to use the word anymore because it is offensive but…some people are chavs. Plain and simple. England is full to the brim with chavs. It’s god awful.

As a woman I find that whole thing very insulting. Womanhood is not a "mode" or a costume to put on. And a grown man refering to himself as a girl is plain creepy.
What he actually means is he likes pouncing about in women's clothes and playing with makeup. He is no more a girl than a lamppost would be if I put a dress and makeup on it.
