the same. i did too. i can remember looking at my mom and saying i am not going to be that. and it was not cause of who she was. she was a wonderful person i loved and respected and truly trusted like no other. it was because as woman, she was less. i spent my younger days being the woman to my male buddies that "was not like the other women".
this is very good. we have been talking about mra of late. i have been thinking a lot .... where does the massive hate toward women come from. you do not have the same hate toward men, and a lot of us women have actually been abused by men, yet that hate is not there. men thru out history has certainly done a lot of things to be a recipient of hate, yet they are respected, valued, more important. is hate for women coming from some mommy syndrome?
then there was a thread how forever we teach our children, how we condition ourselves, women are liars.
since being in hof, the new du, this is what the new du has given me. i think our group is even more informative and interactive, supportive, insightful than du2. i have learned and recognized so much. i have been like.... decontaminated by this group. all those invisible strings that control our thinking cause society has given it to us from the beginning.
i have been hanging with women. i have been doing this, without these invisible little whatevers. i am .... loving it. i did not have many girls and women in my lives. it has been basically all men and boys, always. this whole woman thing is such a blast for me.
interesting article. glad i read. lots to think about in different directions
