Or maybe she does it because she enjoys those things for herself and she wants to express herself through her appearance..... Not everything revolves around men

If I were to think of a perfect guy I would want an amazing personality that meshes with me well. Looks wise, I don't care if other women wants to be with him or not as long as I'm somewhat attracted to him. He doesn't have to be attractive to everyone for me to like him. Women don't care about status in that way. Especially when it comes to physical attraction, women have so many specific types and tastes it' impossible to appeal to majority of them. I want him to treat me right and be loyal but that's also part of personality so I don't think it need reiterating

That's because we don't see women as valuable human beings in the first place and instead view them as objects that erode with time. Why don't we value older women for their wisdom and life experience the way that we do with men? Men like you don't do that because they see a woman's value in her malleability and her naivety because that means men can have more control to use her as the object they perceive her to be. Those men aren't after intimacy or respect, they crave control over a woman in order to prove their weak egos to other men for validation. The fact that you see Teal Swan as having a small amount of value just because of her age is disgusting. She's waaaaay out of your league anyway because of your poor attitude.

This is the problem with yall. Yall want to apply this sense of essentialism to each gender and generalize people in the name of biology because it gives yall a sense of control and certainty instead of looking at the complexity of social dynamics that involve actual emotional intelligence and critical thinking. Yall mask essentialism and gender stereotypes and call it biology instead of adopting holistic thinking.

That's because men fetishize youth because of the perception that younger women are easier to control. Older women aren't often seen as desirable because they are painted as nags simply because they won't put up with yalls bs. Also don't get me started on arbitrary beauty standards smdh

I stg, "nice guys" will claim to be nice only for his mask to slip off and come off as the ax murdering type when his ego gets bruised and he gets triggered from a woman saying she is simply not interested. If you're actually nice, you won't have to go around saying you're nice. I agree. There are so many problems that come from repressing the feminine apart from attracting girls. This is also a good point. Swinging that far into one direction can create an even larger shadow of the feminine. You're right. Real masculine men don't fear being feminine. But you don't have to rack up so many arbitrary masculinity points in order to "afford to be feminine." And yeah, being feminine doesn't have to do with being a woman's therapist. It more so has to do with basic compassion and empathy over being an emotionally unavailable dick. Thank you

@coca And your dismissal of this being a way to shrink responsibility to avoid giving nice guys a chance looks a lot like projection because you don't want to take the responsibility and realize that a large portion of "nice guys" aren't even nice

The problem with most "nice guys" is the fact that most self proclaimed nice guys aren't nice at all and made a HUGE shadow of being an asshole to where they don't realize their shitty or sometimes even behavior. I'm taking the time to write this out because I don't know which nice guy on this forum has to hear this. "Nice guys" fall under one or more of the following and it makes women not want to be around the "nice guy": He is entitled: "Nice guys" have a tendency to see themselves as some type of white knight as if they aren't as misogynistic as other guys because they might not present in the same way. They are blind to their own asshole tendencies and don't realize that being nice in order to get laid is not nice at all. I've had friends who were pressured into going out with the "nice guy" who won't stop asking them out after they said no multiple time because "oh he's such a nice guy just give him a chance" and they just come back with stories about how controlling, clingy, and creepy these guys were. Most of the time, we don't date the "nice guy" because we havesome type of hunch of them being REAALLLY weird and sketchy. The nerdy guy behind the computer screen who is on reddit all day can be just as bad if not worse than the alpha chad they think they are better than because of some false notion of niceness. He's only quality is being nice: The word "nice" doesn't tell you much about a person. Literally ANYONE is capable of being nice especially if self interest, specifically sex is involved. What these "nice guys" don't understand is that the guys they look at and think of as assholes are also nice to us on the surface. Nice is not even the bare minimum. I've met people who have been nice to me only to search them up in google and find out they did time for violent crime. He isn't his own person: This goes along with the previous point of how nice is his only quality. But some nice guys abandon all of their interests and try to bend over backwards for a woman to the point where his life revolves around the women. There are women who do pull the same behavior but I'll get to them in a moment. Women want to know that they are a priority in a guy's life but not that your life revolves around us. I have met "nice guys" who basically conform their personality and interests to appeal to a woman. I get wanting to lead with the most relatable side of yourself but when it gets to the point where you are agreeing with everything and basically playing copy cat with a woman in order to get into bed with her or because you believe that's the nice thing to do because you're appealing to her, that's weird as hell. It isn't nice, it's creepy because of the lack of authenticity and self interest involved. They way to deal with this is by having a sense of purpose in your life, your own hobbies, and build some character. You won't have to worry so much about playing hard to get if you are already hard to get. But the problem with nice guys is that they feel that having boundaries, not replying to texts because they were busy, and saying no every now and then make them an asshole. He doesn't take any initiative to approach a woman and lacks the social skills to do so: Close mouths don't get fed and that's not only a thing in dating. How the hell are we supposed to know you're into us if you don't say anything or if you lock yourself away from social interaction? Logistically you need to be out there meeting people. Some genuinely nice guys only fall under this category and then they adopt this nice guy bs because they have a shadow of assertiveness to where they think that being assertive will automatically make them an asshole. But a lot of nice guys fall under this category and the ones above which then translates into them having this idea in their head about being nice when that isn't the case at all. Now before someone is like, well women don't face this type of thing, here is the thing, we do but it comes out differently. For women it's under a different label called the "pick me." A pick me girl bends over backwards for man, has no standards, and sticks around no matter if the guy goes to jail, cheats on her, hits or do a number of horrible things because she is under the impression that this is what it means to be "wifey material." She is a ride or die and she shames other women for not being as "compassionate and forgiving" as her. She is a complete doormat and she perpetuates the patriarchy by telling women that women need to do everything for their man with nothing in return and have no standards for how a man treats them because then women are asking for too much. Women have been told how to please a man and how to stroke his ego since the beginning of time. Men aren't put under the same level of scrutiny historically. A pick me and a nice guy both uphold patriarchal values. The pick me tells women that they should be ok with second class treatment while the nice guy says that he should be entitled to pussy just because he is nice to them. A pick me and a nice guy both lack a backbone and therefore they either get left or treated like shit by people who try to take advantage of their lack of boundaries causing them to be bitter towards other women. Neither one has their own personality and feels the need to conform to the person they are dating because they aren't confident in the desirability their own authenticity

Don't detach for the sake of detachment. It's ok to like things and value something that is as higher consciousness like creative expression. You can honor the form of your personality as well as your likes and dislikes without becoming a slave to the ego.

Women: Hey, can you treat us with basic human respect and empathy, and maybe also take charge a little more so that we feel safe enough to be vulnerable around you in order to cultivate the emotional and physical intimacy we both crave on some level? Men: WHaT iS tHIs SiMP BEhaviOr?!?!?! DoN't YOu ReAliZe ThATS jusT telLiNG uS tO Be NICe GuYS. Me NEEds tO bE STROnG EmoTIOnLEsS aLPHa ChAD.

I cant go more than 4 minutes of shamanic breathing without being out of breath and getting this REALLY painful pins and needles feeling in my legs. My legs also feel really wobbly after I stop for about another 2 minutes. Is this normal? Am I doing the technique wrong? If I can't do it for more than 3 minutes now for a 30 minute session should I do 10 3 minute intervals with breaks in between? Does this mean that I have a lot of trauma or does it mean my body is simply adjusting? I want to make sure that I do this right considering everything that could take place when doing this exercise.

Priorities For the longest time my priorities have looked like this: Self development/ mental health School/ career/ extracurriculars Friends Family Everything else ..... Love I feel like these priorities have been shaken up a lot lately. First of all, I'm trying to take a break from the amount of self development work I've been doing because some of it isn't coming from a healthy place and I feel a little burnt out. Second, I'm not in school and I'm having issues with getting internships because of the current situation. In place of that I'm prioritizing learning mainly to do something I enjoy rather than to stress myself out. Learning is also one of my big values so there is that. Next, I'm pretty isolated from people in general and the panorama hasn't helped much in helping me make more friends. Family is stressing me out because I'm around them all the time. Everything else usually refers to doing things I enjoy and that can be a lot of things. And then we have love. For the longest time getting into a romantic relationship seemed like the last thing on my mind despite me craving a significant other pretty much constantly. Just by the way I was raised I was always taught that prioritizing romantic relationships when you're young is a recipe for disaster, that you're basically throwing away your future and you'll get pregnant. My parent's wanted me to prioritize school and career so that I would be successful growing up. Typical Asian parents I know. But even at a young age I knew that there were short comings for that mainly because I knew about that whole archetype of a person chasing money and success and ending up absolutely miserable in their life. I instead opted to prioritize self development and mental health because to me that seemed like a more balanced and holistic priority. I still saw the importance of keeping school/career/ extracurriculars high on the list because it's important to have a sense of purpose, have some hobbies to ground you and force you to grow, and have some way of providing for yourself in the future. I didn't neglect my friendships mainly because I prioritized my mental health and part of that means maintaining a solid social circle even though my life didn't revolve around my friends. But love and relationships on the other hand was like the very thing that shouldn't be a priority. That's the message I got growing up. Funny how I'm 21 now and my parents expect me to be married by 24 and have kids by 26. That is most likely not going to happen. Like I haven't even been in a relationship or had my first kiss slow tf down. I think that's a reason why I get tired of dating so easily. I know it takes effort but because it isn't much of a priority and I've been taught that it shouldn't be a priority, I never felt compelled to taking dating seriously. I think love needs to be higher on the list considering where I'm at with my life at the moment. I think I would really benefit from having more experience in this aspect of life, having a healthy masculine presence to balance somethings out, and explore my sexuality more. I guess there is some guilt associated from seeing this as a need and a priority because of my upbringing. I think at the moment my priorities should look more like this: Everything else/ enjoying myself Self development/ mental health (I know I said I needed a break from self development but I literally don't have much to do because of my current situation) Love (well right now it's more like contemplating about love and ***manifesting*** since I can't go out lol) Friends School/ career/ extracurriculars Family After I get back to school I think my priorities should look more like this: Enjoying myself/ mental health School/ career/ extracurriculars Love Friends Self development (since I need a break) Family I don't think there was anything wrong with my priorities before hand but I'm adjusting the order because of what I feel like my needs are at the moment. I don't need to keep working and stress myself out. For a bit, I need to let loose and have fun.

@mandyjw I tried this method and found myself feeling even worse. I also noticed that after a few minutes of this breathing, I found myself feeling calmer immediately afterwards for the next few hours. Then, later last night I started gaining a lot of insights on stuff I'm working through. I don't know if those things are the product of the breathing I did or what but that's what happened to me.

I posted this earlier and upon further introspection I realized that this has to do with my issues regarding competence in which I see being loving as a measure of how competently I'm able to handle my situation. I deleted the post after I realized I pretty much answered my own issue.

OOOoooffff I really resonate with all of this. That has basically been my relationship with femininity for like the first 14 years of my life and I've been unpacking layers of this since. I feel like especially in the media, the whole "i'm not like other girls" trope was everywhere and I picked up on that and used it as a defense mechanism for the bullying and alienation I dealt with as a kid. A ton of people are calling it out now to where it's basically a meme (tweet like a pick me) and there have been some really good analysis on the whole phenomenon since it's so common with women. Here are a couple of my favorite videos for anyone interested:

I just watched this video and I feel like it really resonated with me. Coincidentally, I was journaling about this last night and I came to similar conclusions myself. I'm going to copy and paste that entry because I think that it's applicable to this thread.

This video came in just in time and I believe it articulates what I was trying to say in my previous post much better.

The Type of Masculine Energy I Want in my Life I want a man who is going to be masculine, assertive, and dominant I guess but will express those things in a very gentle way. I crave gentleness in my life and I feel that in order for me personally to be in my feminine energy that I need a man who will be gentle with me so that I feel safe enough to be vulnerable. I feel like I'm embodying my masculine energy most of the time in my life other than when it comes to my appearance. I'm also very comfortable with that. But when I think of a relationship, I think of it as the one place where I can embrace my feminine energy the most. I want to build this sense of emotional intimacy with someone so that I can be emotional and vulnerable around him. Another factor that is important in me feeling safe enough to feel like I can be vulnerable is competence. I tend to come off as a very competent person (to what extent this is healthy is something that I'm working through and I'm probably going to do a post on that) and I need a man who will be more competent than me so that I feel like I can rely on him, not in a dependence way but in a way where I have faith that he can take care of business when I'm in my moment of vulnerability. Because a lot of the time due to me encountering dumb men, I find myself in this energy And honestly, I'm tired of doing everything by myself. I'm tired of being the one who always has to have her life together because the people around me can't get their shit together. Growing up my parents were incompetent. I often found myself in the position where I had to teach them how to act instead of it being the other way around. I went to schools that were underfunded with teachers who had no idea how to help me reach my goals so I had to figure that out on my own. In therapy, I'm really good at psychoanalyzing myself, figuring out what's wrong with me, and coming up with a plan to cope. One time I had a therapist tell me that she lowkey enjoys sessions with me because I essentially solve my own problems and come up with good insights and she just has to intervene every now and then because of a few blind spots I have. Even recently with my issues with PCOS, I had to make 8 different doctors appointments because there were a bunch of formalities that they have to go through in order to prescribe me birth control. It was a whole thing that dragged on for like 2 months and in the mean time while they were dealing with whatever they were dealing with, I managed to fix most of my symptoms by trying out different things with my diet. Finally, I haven't had a solid group of friends I talk to on a regular basis so all of the work I have been doing on myself in therapy, I've been going at it alone with little emotional support. I had to be emotionally there for myself the whole time and there wasn't people that I could really find myself leaning on. It has gotten worse after I had to move back in with my emotionally unavailable family and the isolation I have experienced in the last year. Speaking of making friends, I think it is more important to find a solid group of friends before jumping into a relationship. I don't want to fall into a codependent dynamic. As empowering this sense of independence and resilience is, it is also exhausting. It feels like nothing would get done unless I do it myself. And sometimes I want to take a break by curling up next to a guy who knows just as much or more than me. I want to submit to this soft and emotional side of myself because it's a side that I don't get to express very often. I want to be emotional without being dismissed as being crazy. I want to be emotional without feeling like I need to be fixed or that there is something wrong with me. I want to be vulnerable without fearing that someone would take advantage of that and see that as an opportunity to be controlling. I want to feel like I can be safe in a relationship psychologically without needing to be this perfect person with no vulnerabilities and dysfunctions. I don't want to constantly work on myself and feel like in order to be in a healthy relationship that I have to have my life 100% together.

Diet and Body Image I want my kid to feel comfortable with their body and be able to care for it effectively. I want them to learn how to listen to the cues their body is telling them in order to understand what types of foods make them physically and emotionally feel good. I want them to know that weight does not tell the whole story behind someone's health and I want them to know that healthy habits are much more important than how you look or what a number on a scale says. I'm still going to make sure that I have fresh food in the house and won't have things like processed foods or soda for example. Another thing that I think is important is when the kid is old enough that the kid has to help out with making food. Not only is it faster but it teaches the kid an important life skill and you get to spend time with the kid. I won't be body shaming myself or them. I don't want to model an unhealthy relationship to my body and have them pick that up. My mom was extremely critical about her appearance and often projected those insecurities on to me to the point where I developed a dysfunctional relationship with food and my body. I don't want that for my kid. I also won't critique or praise other people's bodies because I want my kid to know that this isn't the most important thing that people are going to judge you on and therefore you shouldn't base your self worth on that. I want to teach my kid to honor their body regardless of what the beauty standard is at the time whether my kid is skinny, chubby, muscular, short, or tall. I want them to learn how to embrace their body shape and their individuality with whatever clothes they wear because I want to cultivate the idea of buying clothes that fit you instead of changing your body to fit into clothes or trends. I also want them to be informed about the media and different trends because I don't want them to fall into the trap of comparing themselves to images that aren't even real.

Conscious Parenting I find myself often thinking what I would differently as a parent compared to how I was raised. As someone who is 21 right now, I feel like I'm at the prime age where I see exactly how people's parent's messed them up as far as my peer group goes. Because prior to being 18 you're still under your parent's control and therefore you don't let your neurosis run free but after you reach your mid 20s or so you either already worked through those issues or you descended deeper into trauma and accumulated more baggage to where whether something is due to your upbringing or your own bad decisions gets muddied. I'm probably going to write a little each day or every other day about my views of how to most consciously raise a kid. I will admit I don't know. I'm only 21 and I have a limited sense of life experiences so there is only so much I can say. These are just my views at the moment. I don't intend on having kids for at least a decade. I want to write this down so that I can reflect on this in the future and therefore not lose sight of what it's like being a kid. I'm not a kid anymore but it's still fresh in my memory. I grew up with parents who had me pretty late and even though they had a lot of time to grow and gain life experiences, it's like they couldn't always relate to me because their memories of their experiences at my age are so hazy. But considering I am young and I still have a lot of learning to do, if anyone wants to contribute, correct, or expand on what I'm saying as with all my journals you are free to do so. Comments are welcome and encouraged.

I agree with everything @Emerald said My only differentiation is for muscles. I feel that muscles on the upper body is more biologically masculine while muscles on the lower body is more biologically feminine. And for things that are culturally masculine or feminine, those often change between time periods and from culture to culture. For the longest time, pink was considered a boys color and all babies wore dresses regardless of gender because of convenience.

I feel like for cognitive values I'm yellow. I feel that I understand yellow values and cognition pretty well. Emotionally I'm green/yellow: I can pretty hard to trigger but sometimes when I feel depressed or I'm in an ego backlash state, I slip back to green. Interpersonally, I'm not sure. My friends are orange/green but I don't fully resonate with them. I hang around people in a variety of positions on the spiral and I have no problem adjusting myself accordingly while still being true to my principles so I guess I'm yellow (spiral wizardry). Career/livelihood: Probably orange/green that's where I see myself starting off. Ideally, I would want to be in a green/yellow career. Health/ nutrition: yellow/green. I try to take a holistic view on nutrition as it can be a complex topic with a lot of moving variables. I also try to incorporate intuitive eating and take body positivity into consideration. I have a whole journal dedicated to that. What I'm studying in college: Green/ yellow with healthy orange. Currently double majoring in management (orange/green) and international relations (green/yellow) with a minor in human rights (green with a little yellow) Psycho-sexual: Not sure but I'm guessing green. I feel that emotional connection and intimacy is a huge component for me however I'm not dogmatic about sex. But then again I have no idea what yellow sexuality would look like lol. Kinesthetic: absolutely no idea what that means and how it relates to the spiral. Overall, mainly yellow but with some green I'm still working through.

Media Consumption Analysis Part 6: Music Apart from Lana Del Rey, I would say that I listen to a lot of South Asian American artists, some early 2010's club music, and Bollywood music. I would say that my music taste is entirely determined by my mood. That's how I organize my Spotify playlists lol. I'm having a phase with Indian Indie music. It's just so calming and uplifting IMO and that coincides with where I was at with my life recently. My favorites include Parekh and Singh, When Chai Met Toast, The Local Train, and Prateek Kuhad. I had an indie/ emo phase as a teenager and this feels like a more cheerful continuation of that. Also even though Bollywood is a thing, I never felt like it resonated with me as much because I don't understand Hindi. In addition to that I feel like Bollywood music is mostly party music (at least the popular stuff) and that isn't always a mood. Like I don't want to always listen to party music when I'm doing chores and winding down on a Sunday afternoon. I also love Raveena's music and I love her music videos even more. I had an aunty introduce me to Vidya Vox and I'm so grateful that she did. I also just lover her sense of style. I love how varied Sevdaliza's aesthetic is and her vocals. Her voice is so beautiful. Mona Haydar's music is such a mood. I love it. And of course I can't forget to mention MIA when talking about brown artists. I was super into her back in my senior year of high school. The background music of Boyz reminds me of Diwali. Both Jay Sean and Anik Khan makes me feel like I can embrace my inner brown f boy. I didn't know Jay Sean was brown for the longest. I remember listening to him when he was big in like 2008-2012 but I never really looked into him all that until I started getting nostalgic over early 2010s music. I dug into his older stuff and I actually like that more. It's funny story how I found Anik Khan. Long story short I went to a party I technically wasn't supposed to be at and he was the performer there. I then went and searched up his music afterwards on my own (that night was wild to say the least). And speaking about being nostalgic about old music, I started experiencing what I call end of decade nostalgia back in 2019. That feeling hasn't left yet because I hate the 2020s so far. We Run the Night is the most generic song that I can come up for the 2008-2012 era. Like you even have Pitbull in the mix. Pitbul is basically a meme at this point because my mans was everywhere. And of course you have to have Kesha. It makes me a little sad that when you type in Tik Tok into YouTube, this isn't the first result anymore because of the app. In addition to early 2000s and early 2010's party music, I also like listening to Ritviz. I mainly like listening to this type of music when I feel like dancing or when I used to go to the gym.

Rating the Types of Food Habits My Mom Tried to Implement Growing Up My mom was a health nut and she tried to pull all types of things to keep us healthy. Don't get me wrong, I'm appreciative of her intent, she just didn't always go about it in the best way. Low Fat/No Fat Diet Very 80s and 90s. It's vintage but not in a fun way. Goes along with the misconception that fat makes you fat. For the longest time I wasn't allowed to bring avocados in the house and my mom would judge me if I put too much butter on my toast. Any snacks we had in the house was low fat or low calories. Most of the times it was ok and I didn't notice but sometimes it really messed with the taste of the food. Like fat free ranch tastes absolutely disgusting and not like ranch at all. I would rate this a -1000/10 because I was always hungry (since fat usually keeps you satiated), I got addicted to sugar (because fat free/ low fat alternatives are usually loaded with sugar so that the food in question doesn't taste bad), the conception is rooted in misinformation, and because fat free salad dressing tastes like trash. Having no snacks in the house This was annoying because after school I would be hungry and there would be nothing in the house. She didn't want to have snacks in the house because she thought snacking would mean extra calories and then we would all get fat. The good part about this is that I never got hooked on unhealthy processed foods and I never developed the habit of eating chips and cookies constantly. Cutting out junk food doesn't feel drastic to me because I never had that type of food in my house in the first place so implementing healthy habits in some cases is easier. I would rate this a 6/10 mainly because it was annoying but over all helped me have healthy taste for food and because I would find other ways to snack behind her back anyway. All ways buying organic My mom would mainly buy fresh produce and make sure it's organic. I don't know to what extent whether or not food being organic matters so this might be an unnecessary expense for peace of mind. But it did mean that everything I was eating was freshly made from scratch and that my meals didn't come from a sketchy box. I can appreciate building that habit and having that be normalized at home from a young age. I rate this an 8/10 Being terrified of berries She did take the whole buying things organic thing too far once. My mom once went through a phase where she was terrified of berries, especially strawberries I guess because of pesticides. Every time I would try to buy strawberries she would be like "NO WE'RE NOT GETTING STRAWBERRIES, THEY ARE POISON AND HAVE CHEMICALS ON THEM." This continued for a few years. I'm surprised this stuck around for that long because I'm pretty sure all this happened because she saw an episode of Dr. Oz talking about pesticides. Dr. Oz was basically her ultimate authority for anything health related during this time. I rate this a 1000/10 because this is a funny story and because it taught me to be critical of the media. Throwing out my Halloween Candy Like most kids, I looked forward to Halloween so that I could go trick or treating. But because I was a little chubbier than the other kids, my mom didn't want me to eat the the candy I got trick or treating. So as a result she would throw my candy out and then gas light me by telling me that I probably already ate it all. I rate this a 2/10 because even though I don't think this instance traumatized me (because lets be real there are plenty of other things that traumatized me instead when it came to food and body image), it did make me sad as a 10 year old. Judging me for eating at restaurants or when my family would get invited for dinner This would normally happen because I chose a less healthy option at a restaurant, like choosing fries over broccoli that one time or when I would go to get more food when my family would get invited to dinner at a friend's house. She would stare me down and say "no you're not doing that you need to watch what you eat." I rate this a 3.5/10 in a restaurant setting when I'm only with my parents mainly because it is judgmental and controlling and made me nitpicky around food but ultimately I would brush it off and eat normally. But I would rate this a -20/10 when I'm at a friend's house because the people around me would hear my mom being crazy and feel compelled to say something like "oh but she looks great, eating a little more every now and then doesn't hurt." I rate this instance much lower because there would be this tenseness and awkwardness in the air for everyone involved. Not being allowed to eat anything sweet My mom also got in the habit of demonizing sugar. By making it off limits it just made me crave it more. Also it didn't make me stop eating sugar and instead my dad and I would sneak out and get ice cream together. It was a bonding experience for us since we just wanted to eat in peace without getting yelled at. I rate this a 5/10 because I didn't listen and snuck out and did what I wanted to anyway. It was ineffective to say the least.

Ever since I was diagnosed with PCOS, I have been paying attention to my diet more. I am trying to look into a healthier way of eating that is sustainable and suits my life style. I will be journaling about what I eat in a day as well as talk about my goals with food. And as usual with all of my journals, comments are welcome and encouraged.
