courage & beauty

The use of pigs blood makes so much more sense. The reason she was bullied so relentlesly, even though she does nothing to nobody, makes so much more sense. The relationship with her mother makes so much more sense.

I know they aren't going to, but I wish they would cast someone fat in this new Carrie adaptation. From the articles I've seen, they are already speculating which skinny actress it's going to be.

How many times can they tell the story the same exact way? The answer: endlessly.

The study highlights is that men are not managing their emotions on a day to day basis, nor are they extending their happiness to pour into their family.

When women are happy, they pour more positive energy into the people sround them. When men are happy they are just happy.

I don’t care if men with body and gender dysphoria would feel happier in a world where “woman” was a mere social role or lifestyle/aesthetic choice.

Women are sovereign human beings and it degrades our humanity to conceptualise our existence as anything else.

Therefore they must stop. Men’s pursuing their total comfort, pleasure, convenience and freedom without concern for cost to women and children is the foundation of much suffering and dehumanization in this world.

So what’s the solution? How does the narcissist uphold their delusion? How does the narcissist defy reality in order to control it?

The first sentence of this quote sums it up:

“The only action that is as serious as giving birth, which can act as a counterbalance to it, is killing. This is one way to interpret the common sacrificial metaphors of birth and rebirth or birth done better, on purpose and on a more spiritual, more exalted level than mothers do it. For example, the man for whose benefit certain Vedic sacrifices were performed dramatically re-enacted being born, but he was reborn as a god, not a helpless infant. The priest, in officiating, in enabling this ‘birth’ to take place, performed a role analogous to that of a mother. Some of these metaphors are astonishingly literal: In the West African city of Benin, on the many occasions of human sacrifice, the priests used to masquerade as pregnant women, having sent all the real women out of the city.”

Because we have a power they dont have:

Creation.

Think about what is said above, about birth vs killing. Whats the difference between them? Yes they both have blood, pain, and crying; but there is a core difference.

Killing is murder, and murder is destruction, the very opposite of what women do with out bodies.

And i think thats what truely enrages them, they can never create, only destroy.

I see it in a lot of “male magic” and male rites; they always concentrate on violence, blood, control, power and death.

Having Victor question whether a second creation would want the purpose she’s created for underhandedly asks: what if Eve didn’t want to be given to Adam?

And the kicker? In Paradise Lost, Eve DOESN’T want to be give to Adam! (At least, not initially.) When she’s created, she spends most of her time hanging out by a lake and staring at her own reflection (something something the vanity of women or whatever). When God is finally like, “Okay, you’ve gotta go meet this guy he’s great I promise and he like reaaally wants to see you,” and God leads Eve to Adam, she IMMEDIATELY runs away!! She’s like, “Well, the only other person I’ve seen is myself, and I’m very pretty and soft [I think the words used are “winning soft and mild”?] and this guy is like, really gruff and sharp and ugly in comparison, so I’d rather just keep looking at myself, thanks but no thanks.” And God and Adam are both collectively like “what the fuck?”

Though Milton’s intentions with that scene are perhaps more of a commentary on Eve’s and thus women’s vanity and selfishness, when read through a feminist or proto-feminist lens, the scene evokes concepts of forced marriage and a woman’s autonomy.
