Fears of Consciousness

@legendary So, (remember/this girl) and I are type A people, because we're both hyper critical of each other (for different reasons)?I'm gathering from this video. 

Rape culture views are somehow threatening my ego? (I can see that, for most women it would be)

And I will ultimately feel bad because I should "rise above this mud slinging contest?" 

No criticism is legitimate. Let it go.

I saw in another video we have let go of all convictions as well. Right now I have only two topics i have strong convictions over, this and another I won't mention. 

I know I'm a hyena over this and for the other topic. 

Yes, I guess this is a red herring. 

I won't take the challenge, because I dont turn into a hyena unless provoked. But I will try not to turn into a hyena when provoked. 

Thanks for sharing, legendary. 

No promises, but thank you. ?

There's also an inherent weakness to aggressively defending yourself.

The fact that the teeth come out so quickly is a sign of fear.

Notice that you could (hypothetically) stand firm and grounded without lashing out or "putting others in their place."

Could you see how this alternative actually signifies strength?

Guys, just drop it.

Let this issue go. She's new here and she's doing okay. Let's be welcoming towards new people who are here with good intentions.

You don't need to do the challenge. Just being exposed to this information and this perspective will change how you act under such situations in the future

The more conscious you become, the less you will be likely to get into abusive relationships. 

I looked through this thread. It was a mess. 

( off topic - I saw your t-shirt that says Vegan. 

I'm not a vegan. I eat meat. .i hope that doesn't trigger anyone..) 

 

Thank you for your response, India. 

My shirt usually triggers people actually. They usually have to state they are not vegan in response to seeing a shirt with a word on it  It's a defense mechanism that is deeply rooted in guilt/indoctrination. 

Thanks for the love, sis

There is no assertion.
