Just so you all know, I posted the above video to prove a point. Why is it permissible for the world to objectify women and idolize ladies who are all dolled up with makeup and revealing clothing, but be shocked or repulsed when it’s the man being objectified and dolled up in the same exact skintight clothes and makeup? It’s not natural for either the man or the woman to have to masquerade as anything else to be loved and accepted.
As for women becoming subservient, that ship sailed and sank for good. But don’t blame the women or feminism. You can thank the misogynistic dumba** “kings of the castle” who cheated on their wives and lorded their paycheck over them and gave the women no choice but to leave the bullies, get their own jobs, and take care of themselves.
Thank goodness for all the wonderful gents on this site who treat us gals with kindness and respect and support equality for women. We ladies love you!!!
I saw this online and feel these are excellent life lessons I am learning!
THINGS YOU DON'T NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR 1. Loving someone 2. Saying "No" 3. Following your dream 4. Taking "me" time 5. Your priorities 6. Ending a toxic relationship 7. Your imperfections 8. Standing your ground 9. Delay in your response 10. Telling the truth
And I want to add this one: Changing your mind about anything. If you're in a relationship where you have little freedom to be yourself, you need to quickly get out of that harmful situation.
The products are not for men. They are for women transitioning to men but who still get their period. They don’t want to identify as men, hence the removal of the feminine symbol.
We gravitate toward what we’re familiar with. If you have the unhealthy habit of rescuing others, you will continue to invite toxic people into your life. Toxic people (narcissist, psychos, control freaks, abusers, etc.) target vulnerable rescuers. Another term for a rescuer is co-dependent. It is not a healthy trait. A co-dependent will often assume the role of a victim when in fact they are willingly putting themselves at risk by allowing toxic people into their lives. JUST SAY NO! Seriously, if you find yourself in the same awful relationships over and over again, seek out counseling and learn ways to break the pattern.
True that, most of the "single guys" who email me here must be fake profiles as their messages read like they never made it out of the 1st grade.
"hi, how are you.I liked all ur photos.ur very beautiful smile. What are the plans for the weekend? I like you to meet and communication. i would like to know you more. Tell me more of about you.so I will wait to hear it from u."
Of course, he's also an engineer and is pulling in $150K annually. He's got his Masters, but he just hasn't mastered the art of spelling or grammar.
In those cases, I do exactly what CS site rules advise: I report them, then block them.
I joined CS to see if there was a single guy I could connect with. Turns out, I'm connecting with singles all over the world for friendship and communication on the forums & blogs. I'm very happy with those results.
I'm an American so of course I want to read about politics in my country. But I voted "other" because you didn't give "all of them" as an option. I'm interested in reading about the politics in other countries, too.
If I told you my life story, you’d be aghast. There was sunshine and rainbows all right… in extremely small spurts in between the epic battles of my traumatic youth and young adulthood that kicked my butt. My life was no picnic, believe you me. Far from it. I grew up wounded, skeptical, afraid, indecisive, ashamed, cynical, depressed, and downright disillusioned. The only thing I had going for me was a war of inner anger. Not anger against others, but anger at the anxiety within my own mind and heart holding me back from enjoying life. God only knows where my determination came from, but I sure thank God I possessed it. Because here I am in my senior years and I’m more joyful, more at peace, more confident, more empathetic, more positive, than I’ve ever been in my life. Not because my life was all sunshine and rainbows. But because of the small doses of sunshine, roses, & rainbows I saw along the way. And most of all, because of the precious caring people I’ve met who encouraged and inspired me. It's amazing how many good people there are in this world who take the time to reach out and love us when we take the time to hear them. Now I pay it forward by inspiring and encouraging others.
Life may not have turned out exactly the way you hoped it would. But YOU can turn out way better than you ever dreamed you could.
