some of y'all are really like “please boost this i’m 24 years old and my parents are refusing to pay my cell phone bill and it’s enabling my depression. they also want me to move out and find a job to support myself and i am actively fearing for my life. here is a link to my paypal and gofundme as well as my amazon wishlist featuring nonnegotiable amenities mandatory for my survival such as this flower crown anime boy pastel sweater with the text ‘soft boi’ on it. help support a victim of emotional abuse and gaslighting"
so far in response to this post people have insinuated that i am an abuse apologist, that i am spewing ideology propagating the cycle of abuse, that i am wealthy and spoiled and that i am a capitalist all because they’re 24 years old and don’t want to pay for their anime boy sweater themselves
what’s up with girls that feel the need to destroy the “weak fragile ego of a man” to feel empowered. how insecure do you have to be for the only way to feel confident is by ruining the confidence of others. how bitter are you if you can only feel special by hurting others.
“A woman came from a man’s rib. Not from the legs to be humiliated… Not from the head to excel… But from the side, to be side by side with him to be equal with him. From under the arm to be protected… and from the heart to be loved.”
“to be equal with him” did this dude actually read the bible?
“I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet” (1 Timothy 2:12)
If women aren’t allowed authority over men but men are allowed authority over women, that’s the exact opposite of equality.
Equal in dignity, not equal in authority or role. This quote speaks to the very natural tendencies of man and woman stemming from their creation: men naturally lead, and women naturally support. This doesn’t mean women should never lead and men never support, otherwise a great number of the saints and Mary herself would not be venerated. There have been female saints who act in very masculine ways, such as Judith, and are praised for it. But there is such a natural delineation between man and woman, which you can see in how they act and the professions they choose.
If you believe the supporting, nurturing nature of women is less valuable than masculine qualities, that speaks to your opinion of femininity.
People often aren’t taught of Christian marriage and fail at it. I married the strongest woman that I have ever met. This was intentional. I have the strongest ally. Years ago we invited our tribe to witness our covenant before God. I gave myself to her for the rest of my days, forsaking all others. She gave herself to me for the rest of her days, forsaking all others. This was a great relief to us both. Now I have no one to please but her, no opinion matters but hers. She has no one to please but me. She uses me to our greatest benefit. She could dig in the fields, but not like I can, so this work is mine. I could not make our children, but I can feed them and care for them, not as well as she does, so this work is hers. We work together whenever possible, because it pleases us, and teaches our children. Belonging to her has made me stronger than I ever was before. Our accomplishments together have outstripped even our own expectations. What we have and what we have accomplished are only possible because we are one. We can not have jealousies because her successes are mine too. We can not have blame because my failures are hers as well. The relief of having an adamant defender, a perfect ally, my one earthly master has simplified my life to the point that I have no emotional baggage, no existential turmoil. I have been freed completely. To say that we are equals is to only grasp a small sliver of the truth of Christian marriage. We are one. Each of us is a fraction of this whole thing. If you ask her she will tell you that she is mine, that she belongs to me. Marriage is so much more than that.
“Babies only cry if they are hungry, need changing, or need to be picked up”
Lies
Babies (and small children) also cry for reasons such as:
1. “I am tired and that makes me angry”
2. “I scared myself with a fart”
3. “You are the wrong parent”
4. “I ran into something with my face”
5. “I’m facing the opposite direction then the one I want to”
6. “I fell asleep in one place and woke up somewhere completely different”
7. “I am a very small person in a very big world”
8. “I got scared because YOU farted”
Babies have more then 3 states of being and sometimes you just have to hold them and bounce them gently while saying solemnly “yes it is very hard to be a baby” because frankly it is
you have to remember that when you’re that tiny… pretty much any bad thing that happens to you is LITERALLY the WORST thing that has ever happened in your life. they have no perspective. everything is awful. help them
Hey if a man ever gets really excited and starts explaining something to you that you might already know he’s just excited about it and you should let him be without accusing him of being a misogynistic mansplainer.
I love it when my man gets excited when he’s talking about something. Most adorable thing. ❤️❤️❤️
I feel like more girls and women have been more cruel and backstabbing to me throughout my life. Goes to show anyone regardless of gender can be an asshole. Women are not faultless angels.
If you’d like to help us out, here’s what you can do:
-Stop using us as political tools. We aren’t revolutionary. We are encouraged to pursue this field from a young age. I’m studying engineering because it interests me, not because I want to make a political statement.
-Stop demanding that we get special benefits. I want to earn my way through college and work. I’m tired of people assuming that I was granted what I have because I’m female. And no, the “patriarchy” is not responsible for that. The people forcing companies and colleges to give women special privileges are.
-Encourage EVERYONE that’s interested in STEM to pursue it. Being surrounded by intelligent and motivated people always helps. Gender is irrelevant here. I’ve worked with many men and women alike, and gender is the last thing that comes to mind when I think of my peers. The greatest diversity is that of ideas, not genitalia.
As a side note, I’m sick and tired of feminists with gender studies degrees trying to lecture me about women in STEM. If you have never done STEM, you have not seen what I’ve seen. You have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re also a hypocrite, because you whine about women not doing STEM, but refuse to do it yourself.
Yes!!! This! I love talking to ANYONE in the STEM fields, because it’s my passion, I don’t GAF which gender they are. I hate being told about opportunities that exist because I was born female, make me earn it, make me work for it - if I don’t get it, in this day and age, it’s because someone else was a better fit & that’s fine.
I don’t ever want the reputation of being where I’m at due to my gender, because I work fucking hard.
1. I don’t think it’s fair to compare ourselves to men. We both have strengths and weaknesses, individually and as a group.
2. Not everything that pops up in the media has to do with politics, and when it is forced on there, it’s stupid.
3. Saying that there needs to be more women in powerful positions defeats the purpose of what it means to be successful. Just because you put a women into a large seat in a company or Congress, doesn’t mean she’ll be successful and vice versa for men! People who show that they can take on those big tasks should be considered due to other factors, like how they interact with others around them, their policies, their reasoning skills, and how well they understand their position, should be considered. Being a women or man shouldn’t be a factor.
4. The grass is always greener on the other side. Men have it hard in other ways as well, just like there are instances where women have it hard. It’s all about perspective.
5. I don’t want to feel like the world is against me, when really, I would be hurting myself and others by convincing them and myself that this is “us against the world”.
6. Our society is so concerned about being politically correct, some large companies are trying to hire for diversity reasons rather than by skill level and that’s more racist than progressive.
7. People are more concerned with diversity then the actual contents of entertainment, and because of that, the quality goes down. Take Marvel comics as an example.
8. We’re more concerned about how women are sexualized, but yet I see men constantly sexualized as much as women.
the elf practice meme is funny and all but like…..how do you practice being an elf……..why do you have to practice your own existence…… that’s like me going to human practice……….as if i️ wasn’t already a human before
