I would totally say something direct/funny like this to a guy who was doing pick up on me without being interested in him. It probably is just because women who know about pick-up know that it’s a numbers game and that you probably are just getting your quota in. Smart women will probably avoid going out with day-gamers on principle. It’s a bit of a red flag when you can tell that a guy is involved in pick up and he approaches you in a grocery store.

Theft is a good angle to view it though. In terms of equality, I view it like this… 5 uneven fingers form a hand… but if your thumb is two miles long and your pointer is an inch long, there is a problem there that needs to be addressed. But equally important to the cause of fairness is getting rid of factors that weaken the collective of humanity. And that can be tricky because you want enough challenge to foster resiliency in the populace… and enough slack to make sure that people (especially children) aren’t being traumatized and beaten down by poor conditions to the point where they become adults that pass on their hurts to others. Poverty weakens the collective in so many ways. So I think it is best to guarantee the basics. But the question that stands in my mind is… Can we craft a societal system that works ergonomically to optimize the strength, resilience, health, and wisdom of the collective?

My biggest and most difficult to swallow self-development insight is that my interest in self-development originated from shame and a desire to fix myself. And I was doing this to make myself acceptable enough to earn my own love. I notice this pattern in a lot of personal development and self-help junkies. And so, it’s very important to make self-love unconditional… and to not be something that we have to fix ourselves to earn. Then, self-development just becomes fun and exciting… and we can do it for the enjoyability of the process.

Everyone has a religion… some religions are spiritual and some are not. And if a person is unaware that they’re following a religion, they will unconsciously push it on others because they see it as an unquestioned good. They will assume that the ethics of their religion are simply the laws upon which reality is governed. And they will make no effort to reach out and prostelatize… only to judge. For example, if a person’s religion is that productivity is an unquestioned good… they will judge anyone who is unproductive who doesn’t match up to the tenets of that religion. They don’t even know they are following a religion, and so they simply judge others for not following the rules that they’ve projected onto reality. Leftists tend to follow the religion of justice and fairness. They see justice and fairness as an unquestioned good. And they judge anyone who doesn’t match up to the tenets of the religion of justice and fairness. They think anyone who’s being unfair/unjust is going against some existential rule of reality. And because they see justice and fairness as an unquestioned good, they feel incredulous at the idea that they’d have to market that idea to others. They assume, “people SHOULD already know better.” And they forget that standing on a soap box is not an effective tool for marketing and converting others to their religion. And they become as ineffective as the person waving the Bible on the side of the road and shaming all the passers-by as dirty Godless sinners. The person who sees their “religion” as an unquestioned good will be terrible at converting others to that religion… and will actually turn people off from it. This is a reality that Leftists need to swallow if they want to galvanize a movement towards fairness and justice. The FAR Right (meaning self-proclaimed Neo-Nazis and White Nationalists) are a lot more aware that their views are not an unquestioned good. So, they tend to do MUCH better marketing for their religion. They know that the religion of hatred is a hard sell… so they package their messaging in ways that the average person won’t spot the pill inside the peanut butter.

I totally agree. It just comes from a mixture of a lack of understanding and unhelpful coping mechanisms that project negative things onto the group of others.

That makes sense if gender norms are adhered to strongly there and it’s very stage Blue. But I would suspect that most Orange society women would be weary about benevolent sexism.

Thank you! And yes. Factory farming is terrible for biodiversity.

It’s clear to me that you don’t know very much about the Feminine. And it seems you know even less about women. Have you had direct experience of it and what it really entails to embody it? My guess is no. You read things in books perhaps and came to the conclusion that you understand. And now you see yourself as an obligate teacher to help the ‘sheep-like’ women live up to YOUR narrow idea of Femininity. And all under the guise of helping, when it’s probably just about you maintaining your own ideology. But it’s obvious to women that you don’t know the first thing because you don’t recognize that women are wise to ignore you. You’re asking them to regress themselves and step right on ancient wounds and calling them unreasonable when they don’t do it. And women are wise to be Feminists. And women are wise to be selective with who they express their Feminine side around. The world is not ripe yet for total Feminine integration. We need like 2 or 3 more waves of Feminism before that can happen. And you’re not going to do the job that 6th Wave Feminism is going to do by simply telling women to be Feminine. I’ve had direct experience of feeling the Femininity all around and within me and embodying the Great Mother and giving birth to the world. And as nurturing as she can be, she would also chew you alive for your hubris and lack of reverence for her many facets. She did this to me in a dream when I was 19 and only appreciated her through the beauty facet of the Feminine. She seduced me as a femme fatale and quickly transformed into an ancient witch demon with no eyes in the sockets and swallowed me whole. She was angry at my internalized misogyny and lack of reverence for the Feminine and this initiated my journey. And this was several months before my first awakening. And it was when I birthed the new world 11 years later (in March of 2020 a few days after lockdown began) that I reached the other end of her. And she gave birth to me as I was her… giving birth to a new world. So the Feminine power is wild, dark, and ethereal… and gritty and bloody. It’s very intertwined with instincts and nature and emotions. It’s not like traditional Femininity at all. Patriarchal standards of Femininity are actually quite Masculine principled because it’s tame, bright, sunny, and sweet. But the deep Feminine is often wild, dark, moonlit, and bitter. Here is one of the first videos that I ever made… and there are some things you can learn about the Feminine and the Masculine…

Why are you expecting others to behave how you want them to behave? Maybe I come and hang out with you and pressure you to do the things that I think you should be doing which serve my agenda and my agenda alone. And when you rightfully complain about my controlling behavior, I’m going to act like you’re being the unreasonable one.

Have you ever had a blue-haired SJW yell in your face… or are you just looking at a bunch of Internet memes from 2016 and coming up with imaginary scenarios where you have to defend yourself against one?

Why is what they said refreshing to you? And how does it relate to the thread about suffering animals? The way I’m potentially interpreting it is that you’re saying it’s refreshing to ignore practical issues by interjecting non-dual truisms. or potentially… That you’re critiquing this post by saying that turning a blind eye animals’ suffering based on the non-dual truth that “everyone is already equal” is not a good idea. And calling it refreshing was sarcasm.

Reaching for top-shelf spiritual truths is not an efficacious paradigm for issues dealing with the practicalities of human rights and equality. You can tell an enslaved American black person in 1782 dealing with the daily sufferings of Chattel slavery who have had their spouse and all their children sold to different slave masters last week that they’ve always been equal. And in the absolute, it’s true. But in the relative situation it’s not a helpful or kind perspective because it just encourages spiritual bypassing of a very real issue of injustice. And it uses a top shelf truth to invalidate a bottom shelf truth. Watch the spiritual ego because it can use the truth to lie to itself. And it’s very easy for a complacent white person to come along and give such ‘sagely’ advice from the safety of their non-enslaved state. I bring this into a more extreme example to illustrate how unhelpful spiritual bypassing is. And while ego is certainly a foundational element to this male superior/ female inferior dynamic, it’s not equivalent on both sides. Women as a whole are much less likely to construct male inferiority narratives than men are to construct female inferiority narratives. In fact, a more common occurrence is for women to construct female inferiority narratives that they exempt themselves from as being “not like the other girls.” I used to do this myself as a little girl. And it’s common for women to try to bond with men and compete with other women through these female inferiority narratives. And the reason for this dynamic is because the collective ego is still very anti-feminine in its biases.

If prior to your birth you were told that if you’re born you will only live until age 10. And you were told that your experience from birth to age 10 will be constant suffering in a slaughterhouse with other suffering children and will end with your throat being slit after you witness others around you having their throats slit. And that you’ll also suffer all sorts of physical discomforts because you’ve been selectively bred in ways that are not conducive to your health but only to your deliciousness. So, no. I don’t think the animal would choose that. Also, consider this… Every time a man ejaculates or a woman has her period… that means that millions of people will never get to exist. Never being born into existence is the norm. So, I have no qualms about animals not being selectively bred into an unnaturally short life of exploitation and suffering.

I got 0% and 0% I’m a bit surprised though that I didn’t have a few percentage points on benevolent sexism, because I did choose “agree” with the statement around women being more emotionally attuned.

So, there’s two layers here. One is about letting go of resistances to general masculine/feminine traits. These resistances (and over-extensions) lead to these opposite Shadow qualities. And many of these traits are simply a given for everyone. Like everyone has emotions. And everyone has motivation. The other is allowing what is naturally there to come through regardless of which category it falls into. So, it’s not about making yourself 50/50… most people are not 50/50. Both are related… but the general resistances are what creates the interruption of the natural dynamic and creates predictable Shadows behavior patterns.

You’re welcome ?

You may find these videos helpful in your journey of reclaiming your feminine power…

They just wouldn’t be bred into existence anymore because it wouldn’t be profitable to do so.

It’s more like the negative feminine gets replaced with the positive masculine… and the negative masculine gets replaced with the positive feminine. So, the negative feminine quality of victim’s mentality (and passivity) becomes initiative and responsibility. But the integration of the positive Feminine that can create this is to consciously integrate both surrender and humility. But a negative masculine quality like insensitivity becomes a positive feminine quality like emotional intelligence. But that would require the positive Masculine quality of discernment. This enables a person to tune into their emotions without getting confused and overwhelmed by them because they can crystallize their emotions into words.
