SMC - currently doesn't have the bandwidth and myself I'm only replying to posts that make me feel my words even matter. So you let's talk.
I take issue with you saying to call something hateful is hateful.
Can we rethink this together?
How should we view a continual dismissive attitude towards those who only want to be loved as equals. Let's admit it that's what this is. If we can talk about male and female joining to be one. How can you love us, and us be one with you if the male energy for some reason wants to see the female as less than. Doesn't want to look at the fact that still today in first world countries we are constantly treating the female half of the one as the part that is disposable interchangeably with any other set of tits. Emotion and intuition laughable or crazy? As less meaningful, significant, worthy. You yourself have admitted to hating women at one point how is it you cannot see there is a bias toward hate of the feminin?
And why would you assume that us being unable to sit silently through it without anyone speaking up and calling it what it is HATE means that we hate too?
I hate no one. If you've paid any attention you know Jade hates no one. SMC never says anything anti male just anti "head in the sand" so I do t see her as hating either just fed up which seems reasonable after 50 years.
I swear I'm at 40 still not in the disposed of side because I've taken very good care of myself people always are shocked I'm not 26 but still at times 40 years of being treated like something with a value experation date and in the interim just a sex doll(that se doll stuff started at 4 ), f*** I've just had enough. I'm considering lately being a lesbian next life and not have to think about being thrown away for something as natural as aging, and to be loved by someone who sees me as equal. I love men so deeply and completely that is saying a lot, it makes me sad thinking I won't get to be up close to the male energy I love so much that I try to surround myself with it but I'm sick of being garbage in the making. Im over it and need a break.
As to men being concerers and women being manipulative. Can you perhaps see why this may have started? The manipulative part? My mother was very manipulative it taught me I want nothing that isn't given freely and do not want gestures or treasures I would not be bestowed naturally. Manipulation and games are ugly to me but both sexes partake.
I understand it, don't like it but understand. If you were controlled, knew you were apt to be replaced because your value was nil to the world and you have been conditioned over centuries to feel helpless(Google learned helplessness it is usual applied to individuals but its ingrained in the female culture) you cannot force or negotiate or assert yourself to take care of yourself what are you left with but manipulation? As women learn over time they are strong and valued I'm sure the behaviour will sort itself out.
I see it everywhere I work with a lot of women clients I get to know them over the years and even great ones suprise me. Women I think are strong they make great money and should be free still have to play games because their husbands often just "say no". I have never given anyone the right to say no to me being free. I'm sure I've been stoned to death in many lives lol
One man I fell so hard for I would have so easily accepted it so I get now how it happens submissivenesswithout violence but actually as a child my much older larger brother use to beat me to the point the police would be called because I won't be dominated. It's not some rare thing these things still happen and shape the female psyche . Anyways that matters not I have equal and worse abuse from both sexes likely why I don't vilify either sex but my point is women have been conditioned for millennia to not face men head on for obvious reasons. Perhaps you have a bit of insight to this now but men manipulate just as bad.
How do you think men convinced women to tolerate being seen as bodies, be treated as bodies threat of replacement, threat of violence. That is manipulative too.
People can be quite crappy, we have a long long past. Baggage to clean up.
Gotta understand it first.
Now that you mention it, I think you're right, and further, maybe its hateful of me to view expression of hate as hateful. There's a difference between being hateful and pointing out you hate something, you're right, and thank you for pointing it out to me.
I am blind in many ways, it can be disorienting trying to understand something without the direct experiences that associate that understanding.
I think dismissive in the apathetic sense should be met with an open gesture to teach the dismissive people. They may be dismissing these prevalent issues because they do not fully or deeply understand the importance of such issues.
I do see a bias of hate towards the feminine D:
I see quite clearly because I used to have it and in small ways still do. It shone in my last post when I angrily asked if SMC felt we were equals as woman and man and felt her post was mean in ways. But at the end of it, I still understood at least in sympathy. Decades of abuse would make a very strong wall, I shouldn't be chipping at it...
I'm sorry SMC. I was out of line...
I really think I need to go back and change up how I explain something.
For every man abused and woman abused, we are given a trigger. I don't want to pull this trigger, however I do not see any way to discharge the emotional pain than to feel the trigger be pulled, and not kick back in recoil from the distaste of hate. Sort of like a rock that doesn't roll when moved. I was hoping to point out to everyone, not just SMC or Jade that to feel hate and express feeling this is one way to handle things. I'm more a believer that mirroring isn't as useful as being transparent in the hopes of healing and disarming those triggers that make us feel hate.
As in, don't point out how hateful it is if its obvious, instead why not let that hate go through you, and be forgiving anyway? You don't need to be gentle or calm in this if you don't want to, perhaps showing the intensity of emotion you feel while forgiving is helpful too, as it shows those who are hurtful that you are stronger than they degrade you down to be, and you are better than they would have others believe of you (looking at you SMC
). That you are just as capable as anyone or any man in being a better being.
So I think I failed in expressing that. I believe we should be transparent to those feelings and make movements to disarm the trigger and not be recoiled by it.
I think we all are capable of hatred even if we hide or suppress it very well, I have yet to see a man or woman who didn't have such issue or didn't hate some aspect of the opposite sex OR even their own. I feel hated very very, veryveryvery extremely vividly having been so deeply submerged in it for so long. I do feel those energies in this thread, albeit they do not approach bigotry or irrationality, even if I initially feel such as a man on this subject lacking a female first hand perspective and understanding. But I'm aware of this and try to hold off judgment to better see how and why they have their views. I am blind, I really don't want to be anymore...
It is a very sad thing that we judge a person's value by their attractiveness. I'm not very attractive overall and I recognize both men and women do this, but I do feel like men are the majority perpetuaters in this and the ones who initially imbued it in everyone else.
Attractiveness shouldn't determine a person's value...I say that desperately as someone who feels valued very little for not being a more pleasant male form.
Glow, you're never going to be garbage and anyone who's made you feel such ways aren't people I think you should bother with.
In that same light I don't blame Jade or SMC for not bothering with me, I just feel pretty crappy that I hurt them in the exact way I was trying not to...
I've lately been in denial of my own homosexual experiences throughout my life. Most women used me, many men used me. I fit the derogatory 'femboy' remarks men use to degrade less manly men. I'm more of a gentle passionate person into body contact and cuddling and intimacy than sex. Half the time now a days because of porn I hardly feel aroused, but I do feel that warm fuzzy want to just hold someone and 'be' with them, to give a person a back rub and a foot rub and a neck and shoulder rub and to make them feel relaxed and at home and completely wanted without any tension.
I just want to make people melt in satisfaction v-v
To have that big grin while going 'Mmmmmm'.
Sadly I never get to do this anymore, no one wants these things by an unattractive person.
I don't know if I'm trans or just bi. I have felt like a girl in the body of a boy since as long as I can remember, since before even age 5, I was just always dominated by traits society calls feminine. I was even considered gay or in the closet and I guess I look gay too apparently... Which led to really bad bullying, it didn't help I was getting fatter from the misery and suddenly had man tits that people would make fun of me for by calling me 'boobies'.
Despite being a man, I feel directly the bias against the feminine, against how I am... I just feel it reduces the plight of women for me to admit this, that I somehow negate their suffering by saying I'm a man and suffer from this too... But perhaps it will help others see we're all able of being similar in unexpected ways...
I love the female energies, I often beat myself up for so long letting myself so easily see them in only sexual ways... don't think all men are the same. My bigotry severely damaged my image of myself, because in the end I was being bigoted towards myself and projecting it outwards on women. I do hate myself for not being a manly man, for being so womanly, it took a lot to accept that I am, a feminine guy... And I just wish I knew what to do with myself.

I see exactly why. How else could a woman get anywhere in a male dominated world? Not all women are manipulative thankfully, as not all men are inundated with issues against women. But I must say, my own mother has been mistreated by men for being a women, most specifically in her corporate jobs. She's had a supervisor sexually harass her and lie his way out of it gaslighting her along the way. She got fired on her birthday because her boss hated and spited her and waited until her birthday to do so.
There are some very ugly personalities out there. Ugly in being, ugly in vice and apathy...
I think manipulative women are an integral part to dismantling the overly male dominated prejudices. If a woman can best a man while at such a disadvantage, how can she be considered weaker or lesser??? Patriarchal denial?
I recognize this 'saying no' and suppressing a woman. I've seen it happen in far too many places and ways to be comfortable with it...
I'm sure I like you have met many violent ends for how my soul is while in a body...
I think men are manipulative but I must admit just as men perpetuated attractiveness as value, women gave the power of manipulation an extreme boost in viability because of how much they are engendered to be manipulative just to prosper in surviving.
I think women being more mental and intuitively imbued are much better hidden manipulators than men who might do so more bluntly and aggressively. Women aren't as aggressive manipulates, they are much more sly from my experience. Exceptions always apply though as I'm sure there are equally sly men who manipulate and equally aggressive women who manipulate.
Manipulation overall belongs to both sexes, I just think the feminine energy uses it more efficiently a majority of the time but this might be because 90% of all women I've interacted with manipulated me very easily, so my experiences might have painted prejudice in this area for me.
I don't want aggressors or manipulation, I just want love. It makes me feel sick in my stomach seeing such misery in all of us. I pray we all get the love we need to heal.
Thank you for your response. I see now I'm being...Insensitive and blunt and rude. I'll take my leave of the topic discussions except to mention now and again compassion and forgiveness are very important here.
I am sorry Jade. I am sorry SMC.
I didn't mean to be so hurtful.
