Groundless Emotional Chaos and a Moment of Insight and Clarity
By: Paula Smith
Tags: Resilience, Divorce, The 3 Principles, Mental Health, Psychology

I could feel it. I could feel my thinking. I could feel the episodic and deep water waves of the moment. Triggered, I sat numbingly quiet, feeling cornered, attacked with no ground under my feet. I desperately craved relief amidst this inner chaos. “Please, vulnerable place, no tears, don’t cry!”

I was witnessing a painfully familiar chain of roller-coaster emotions. After three years of divorce proceedings, including restraining orders, financial hearings, and wrenching child custody sessions, the result, hopefully, is a final divorce hearing today. What I distinctly remember, 13 years later, is my lawyer leaning over mid-hearing and whispering to me. “Let him talk.” “Let him run out of words so we can finalize this divorce.” My response inside was uncontrollable rage. “But those words!!” A familiar strain of lies, slander, distortions, and fabrications sprang forth from the angry, mentally ill, abusive man on the witness stand.

“Shhh.” A quiet voice buried deep inside me begged to be acknowledged. “It’s your thinking.” “Your thoughts are running you around in circles.” My inner voice struggled to poke holes in this cyclone of turmoil. I recognized the voice and listened. “You have what you need to get through this.” I paused, took a deep breath, and then took a deeper breath. In the gap, my nervous system started to settle. “I have everything I need to get through this.” I gratefully acknowledged the simple, resonant truth of the Principles.

Thirteen years later, this courtroom experience stands out as my starkly profound “3 Principles Moment”, even though my introduction to the Principles occurred ten years earlier. In retrospect, the gift of this ordeal is an on-going personal and professional commitment to deepening and sharing my understanding. My profession has provided me the opportunity to guide students to access their wisdom and support them as they share their gifts with the world.

In future articles, I look forward to sharing my experience with the infusion of the 3 Principles into education and the development of a K-3 mental health curriculum.
Redundancy is Just Like Divorce

Redundancy is Just Like Divorce

Photo by Anthony Tran on Unsplash

In September 2020, I was made redundant. It was unexpected and quick. The whole process took only five and a half weeks.

I view myself as mentally robust. I’ve survived a marriage break up, life as a single mum, and the ups and downs of corporate life, but the redundancy still had quite an effect on me.

I had nightmares, sadness and depression which caused me to examine my response to my new situation. It dawned on me that redundancy is very similar to a marriage break up.

I started this article over a month ago. I found it so painful to write that I had to stop for a while. Now, I only feel a mild discomfort together with a need to get it finished.

“Losing a job is a huge adjustment and it’s normal to experience a range of emotions. We may feel shock, anger, resentment, relief and much more all in a short period of time.” — www.mind.org.uk

My experience of redundancy is probably not unusual. Often, we are expected to get a new job, suck it up and swallow our feelings.

I hope that if you ever are made redundant, knowing how I reacted, will help.

Divorce is one of the most stressful events that can happen to us.

Here is why I think redundancy is similar:

still at it I see

how many of us trans folk do you imagine you've been able to convince?

and we don't "demand" to use changerooms and play sports... we simply do it, much the same as other women… there’s no “demand” when I go to my local pool and swim, use the shower and changeroom

as I see it, YOUR problem is simple: trans women and trans girls are in spaces you believe only cis women and cis girls should be allowed, and you want us out

right?

BUT, do you imagine ANY of this transphobic nonsense is going to convince a single one of us that we don't belong there?

if not, well... feel free to waste your time because nothing, and I mean nada thing, is going to convince us to leave

yours is a fool's errand

sorry, hun, but exactly WHO are you trying to convince?

hmmmm?
Should abortions be legal?
By: The Opinionated Mind
Tags: Feminism, Women, Womens Rights, Abortion, Pro Choice

No women is ever happy about getting an abortion. Often it is the last resources they use because they believe that they won’t be able to offer a good life. Sure they could give up the child for adoption, but the truth is that there is already around 50 000 kids in the foster care system in Canada and over 400 000 in the United States. If no family is found for the child by the time that they are 2, they will likely grow up in the system. Most kids that grows up in the foster system will bounce from one foster home to another. Many will either have spent some time in juvenile detention, been homeless or die by the time they are 18. It is a system rigged against them.

If abortions would to be illegal, it does not mean that they won’t happen. Except abortions that are done at home are extremely dangerous. Approximately 350 women dies out of 100 000 unsafe abortion in comparison to 0.1 out of 100 000 if done before 8 weeks. (numbers taken from umassmed.edu) Many of these women choose abortion because even just being pregnant it would interfere with their sport, education, career, goals or their life in general. Some is because they cannot afford to take care of a child or give them a life they deserve. Some do it because of health complication. Lastly some do it because of rape or incest.

The best way to reduce the amount of abortions would not be making it illegal. That would just increase the amount of unsafe abortions. Instead education and accessibility to various birth control is the best way to reduce the number of abortion performed. An education consisting only of the best way to not be pregnant is abstinence is not sufficient. Young women should be able to have access to birth control before they are 18 and without the parents consent. Education and accessibility will not only reduce the number of abortion that are performed but also ensure safety and health.

Project She-Is is to look into the abuses of women from all walks of life and expressing their silent voices that are glass-shatteringly loud and heart penetratingly sharp. We present their voices through the book titled: She Is.

The mission of this project is to touch individuals’ inner emotions through the vivid representation of abuses of women. We have used the works of artist Phauzdar who dedicated his entire life to expressing the soundless voices of the women Mr. Phauzdar persistently has been raising his voice for the past four decades through his artworks. With his artworks and their narratives, we present his voice that resonates with the voices of many. Please use the link below for an excerpt from the book.

https://online.fliphtml5.com/smxvq/obvf/

The 256-page book contains 103 artworks and multiple other images.

Each plate in this book is a story of wrongdoings endured by not one, not two, but thousands of thousands of women. Each plate speaks for them to us to remind us that we have still a long way to go into making our society more just. We must change, and change soon as a whole society.

The attitude towards women has to be clear and unambiguous. She forms the foundation of our society. If we destroy the status, education, and dignity of women, we will destroy society.

If we want to form a society that stands up to the highest echelon of principles and nobility bestows the highest glory to a woman and lets her possess the knowledge, dignity, and leadership.

Please give us your views and opinions on this project. Also, help us on how to bring this one-of-a-kind Collectible book to a larger audience.

My god, what is this claptrap?
By: Angela Volkov
Tags: Regressive Left, Feminism, Gender Critical, Womens Rights, Transgender

My god, what is this claptrap? No one is “assigned” a biological sex. It’s observed. Babies are very easily categorised on sight, unless there’s ambiguity due to a disorder of sexual development. No way to tell if they’ll grow up male but demanding to use women’s changerooms and play in women’s sports ahead of time, though.

If some people feel so stereotypically feminine they wish to don women’s clothing, that’s their business, but I can’t in good conscience pretend that they have anything meaningfully in common with the opposite sex, particularly enough to be labelled or treated as such. A transwoman is a transwoman, a man who subjectively feels female and wishes people would play along. Males and females aren’t the same.

According to gender identity ideology you’re a woman if you feel like it, an opt-in if not opt-out system, the word is then rendered meaningless, utterly without purpose, conveying no useful information except someone’s convoluted appraisal of how sex atypical they judge their behaviour to be.

Why do we so disrespectfully deny women’s lived, bodily experience? Imagine humouring trans-racial, abled, and aged people to this degree?
How to Stop Violence Against Women
By: Alice Harmon
Tags: Womens Rights, Legal Services, Legal

There has been an increase in the number of cases of violence against women over the last decade. Unfortunately, it has been overlooked. This is easily shown by the increasing number of cases listed in courts concerning crimes committed against women. Though the governments are taking various step to curb this menace, those are proving insufficient

The reasons for such violence are many, of which gender discrimination is one. The ego problem between the two sexes continues for generations. Most men hate getting dictated by women. Even a small disagreement between a man and his woman can prompt a violent response from the man, causing suffering to a woman.

Poverty is another significant factor resulting in violence against women. Statistical data prove that poor people are more prone to committing this evil. The reason is not difficult to guess. People living below the poverty line find it hard to raise their families. Frustration takes over the man when he fails to take adequate care of his family. This adds to the frustration of remaining unemployed and makes him angry and he lets up this anger against his wife on the slightest pretext, of which there are understandably many in a poor family.

Invariably, the women suffer silently as they have nowhere to go and none to help them out. Only a handful of them is lucky enough to get some kind of support from their relatives or an NGO like KAFA, Arab Women Organization of Jordan to stop violence against women. A lot of support is necessarily required not just from NGOs and governments but also from common people for preventing this violence against women. On noticing violence against women, a common man ought to bring it to the notice of police or another appropriate department of the government connected with the welfare of women. Should the man fear any adverse consequence of lodging such a complaint, he must take the police into confidence.

It is also equally important for women to be aware of their rights and exercise the same. They need to muster courage and report any act of violence committed against them. Though it will be incorrect to say that women in rural areas are not subjected to any violence, it is true that cases of violence against women in rural areas are quite rare. If need be, the laws should be amended to make sure that men committing violence against women get punished in such a manner to deter other men from committing such a crime against women.

In dubai there are lots of lawyers and law firm in dubai which come to help them and it is a good initiative by the lawyers in dubai.

Members of the family and friends must try hard to build a genial relationship with each other to eliminate the chances of any violence against women. An unhappy marriage is frequently the cause of violence against women. One needs to make every effort to find an amicable solution without getting violent. Everybody should contribute some time and effort if we want to eliminate cruelty against women for good.
Women are no more burden
By: Ieelaf Khan
Tags: Womens Rights, Women Can Do Anything

I was very much excited about the mega project at AMAL and was thinking about it, as it is our 3 week the instructor gives the mega project detail and it’s all about to have a great initiative idea to start business.

As we all live in the country where parents kill their children for not having enough resources to feed them and they kill themselves too. Think what is the fault of that innocent they even don’t know where money comes from.

This is not only the single case but every day many families finishes due to this cause as well as now a days COVID-19 is also the main reason behind the hunger strikes. The daily wage person can’t afford as much to feed his family and then this occurs. According to UN report there are 25k people every day loses their lives due to the hunger strike.

My second point is toward the consideration of male child over female that in Pakistan it is considered that female is abuse or they burden over family and mostly at the time of birth parent left their children in to dustbin or any cart or abortion also occurs in slum and poor villages. So considering may 2 point my initiative it to develop a workhouse/ warehouse in slum, villages related to the sewing machine clothing, where females will be taught how to sew the clothes and they will paid according to their services, as you know that at this time Pakistan is among the world biggest exporter of textile. So, it would be an advantage for these women who wants to bring up with their own by working in a proper organization where they make clothes and then these would be exported. This would not be beneficial for them but also for our country economy so it’s a great initiative according to me.

Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn, infect a great opportunity for these women. I search about the sewing machine price in Pakistan its around 10,000 Rs.

To promote my idea my vision is to start a campaign on social media and to create awareness among those who really want to stand by their own. A then look for some downers who will to donate in this cost and look for the suitable work place for this. So, this was an initiative towards female rights from my side and I hope it would get more fame in future INSHALLAH.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “By him in whose hand is my soul, if one of you were to carry a bundle of firewood on his back and sell it, that would be better for him than begging a man who may or may not give him anything.”
How Putting a Crystal in Your Pussy Can Help You Heal Your Relationship to Your Sexuality ( Yoni Eggs 101 )
By: Serena V Amoroso
Tags: Sexual Health, Womens Rights, Womens Health, Spirituality And Women, Yoni Egg

A yoni egg is a physical tool ( an egg shaped crystal )that activates you into claiming + choosing 𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏, 𝙒𝙃𝙀𝙉, 𝙒𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀 + 𝙃𝙊𝙒 something is 𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 PUSSY ( 𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙡 ).

Why do we need a tool for this? Shouldn’t this always be the case?

Yes, AND I 𝙆𝙉𝙊𝙒 most of us have had experiences where that wasn’t the reality.

🔺𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 + 𝙖𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙. It is one of the most atrocious acts on this planet.

The trauma from this type of experience is stored in your cells and impacts your body + actions subconsciously until you do the work to heal.

In regards to your sexuality this may look like:

⚡️shame and guilt around enjoying sexual pleasure

⚡️difficulty asserting your boundaries to say “No, not now/yet/ever”

⚡️struggling to embrace, claim + express your sexual desires

⚡️the inability to surrender into sexual ecstasy with yourself and/or others

Oftentimes the conversation I hear around yoni eggs focuses on kegels and intensifying your orgasmic potential ( this is icing on the cake IMO + not the root beauty of the practice ).

For me, the real 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧, 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘 + 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 come from the conscious connection to your pussy.

Working with crystal eggs and wands ( conversation for another day ) go much deeper than sexuality though.

Your relationship to your sexual energy is a mirror of your relationship to life.

This work has allowed my clients + myself to increase our confidence, find safety in our bodies, speak our Truth in the boardroom and the bedroom, and ultimately discover the innate power stored within our bodies and hearts as women.

💥This is a practice of taking your power back.

💥This is a practice of radical self-love.

Have you played with a yoni egg?

Some people are so different from others that we put them in separate sex or weight categories, so they can safely and fairly compete with others. There’s variance in every group, but when the top 10% of women are only as strong as the bottom 10% of men, it’s time to switch your brain on. Acknowledging reality and having males compete in male sports isn’t discrimination. Sports are sex segregated, not gender identity segregated.

These days transphobic refers to a lack of pretense that gender identity and not sex determines who will find you attractive, your physical advantages, and risk of being a victim or sexual assault offender. We are supposed to pretend no distinctions between men and women exist, and that these are in/opt out self-defined categories.
Pack of Women

Sisters, sisters come forth and hear my call. I feel the wound of the Mother in us all. In every woman I have ever met — inside is a broken daughter beset. They took our power and left us at war with each other. They took our power and made us enemies with each other. They took our power and left us out in the cold, alone, to fend only for ourselves. We are like a pack of wolves who have turned against each other fighting for the one piece of meat left after a cold winter. NO MORE I say. For today is the day we turn the tide. Today is the day that we take our power back by banding together and going after the biggest sheep of the flock. For a pack of wolves when fighting together are a force to be reckoned with and the sheep stand no chance. They won’t even see us coming, they won’t even hear the distant drums drumming. They will be sitting at their tables laughing with beer in hand congratulating each other for the last year they ran the race and won first place as they always do because they believe they are the most powerful gender in the human race. They don’t see us — so they don’t see us coming with our power in hand ready to wreak havoc like the damn Taliban. What is the greatest threat to the world in 2020? It’s not the Corona Virus it’s the women running. Hear me woman — hear my call for tonight we band together once and for all — for us all. For all the women who died with no voice, for all the mothers who hurt their daughters because they had no other choice — for all the daughters giving away their power — to all the grandmothers in their final hour. Tonight we run to the sound of the drum, drum, drum and NO they never do hear us come.

Getting to Know You

She texts in limited sentences.

Cool. Good, you?

And he begins to wonder why. Nothing is cool about this.

The life that she’s shown him before. The journey that he thought she had promised.

It’s not here when he looks with his eyes.

And they’ve talked about culture, his. She’s told him all about it. How she’s just a rendition of things. How his culture is the real deal. How he’s more substantial than her.

So why is it, when he looks, these text messages, this pathway between their day, he’s only seeing stones. Things in the way of the grains. Not the sand falling softly. Not the ground shifting beneath their feet. But solidity. Her backbone carving razors through his own.

He isn’t saying much, he’s mirroring.

This, just getting to know.

Asking simple questions.

Simple things she should have answers to.

And the time is waiting.

The time is endless.

And then there she is on the phone.

Picking up the phone to talk to him and talking to him for hours.

Enjoying herself.

Isn’t it him?

How she can open herself to him?

And he’s feasting.

Saying, “I can be anybody.”

And she’s saying, “I’m sorry, I thought you were somebody else.”

I Will Go On

I will go on…

When the situations don’t favor me,

When people don’t support me,

When even the winter air offends me.

I will go on…

When the tears won't stop,

When the fear flows nonstop,

When even the tree squirrels won’t listen to me.

I will go on

Because I believe in myself,

Because I know I am fighting for what’s right,

Because I know there’s no one like me.

But not to worry,

I will give them something,

something to remember me by,

something that will etch me in their minds forever.
Delta Retaliated Against Pilot By Sending Her to Shrink — Judge Rules
By: Christine Negroni
Tags: Travel, Airlines, Whistleblower, Womens Rights, Safety

Karlene Petitt is a pilot with Delta Air Lines

Delta Air Lines and its top executives, including the present FAA Administrator Steve Dickson, retaliated against a pilot when it sent her for psychiatric evaluation after she complained of safety issues at the airline, a judge has ruled.

Judge Scott Morris ruled that Delta “engaged in an adverse employment action with discriminatory intent,” when it sent Karlene Petitt to Dr. David Altman, a company-appointed doctor who determined she was bipolar. Had that been true, it would have been a career-ending diagnosis. But Petitt, 58, was not bipolar, as two other doctors later determined. Nevertheless, the ordeal kept her out of the cockpit for nearly two years and delivered a non-stop emotional battering.

Many female pilots were horrified that Dr. Altman described Petitt’s ability to attend school, help with her husband’s business and care for her three young children, as signs of mania.

(Earlier this year Dr. Altman surrendered to Illinois authorities, his license to practice medicine, due in part to his handling of Petitt’s case. Read more here.)

Petitt’s whistleblower suit was an attempt to restore what had been for 40 years a sterling reputation as an aviatrix and get some acknowledgment from Delta that she had been misused.

She may be successful at the former, but despite what the judge found to be an overwhelming amount of evidence, including that Delta used its contract psychiatrist as a tool to achieve a management objective, Delta has never apologized to Petitt.

“Someone owes this woman an apology,” said Lee Seham, Petitt’s lawyer. “but there’s no contrition. It’s not only morally wrong, it’s unsafe.”

Seham’s safety concerns are not lawyer hyperbole. Because Petitt, whose Ph.D. dissertation was on aviation safety culture, claimed she was pushed by Delta into this medical, legal and professional rabbit hole in an attempt to silence her because she brought safety violations to her bosses, including Dickson, who President Trump made administrator last year.

Restoring your soul to it’s rightful position
By: Aomame Greenpeas
Tags: Humanity, Womens Rights, Poetry On Medium, Justice, Poetry

You screamed for someone to wake you up, pounding your hands on the pavement covered in blood. You ran to everyone for help and no one came, they feared for their own lives as you had lost yours. They told you to get over it, as you woke up screaming night after night. They sealed your lips shut. They silenced you into submission. Justice was never served upon your name. You were just another black girl in the system. “I don’t remember,” you would say, but in my heart I knew that you remembered that day. And I can’t promise you much, but I can promise you this-I will restore your soul to its rightful position.

Lateisha

In loving memory to all the girls who were silenced into abuse. May your soul be restored to its rightful place and justice brought upon your name.

*for those who don’t know, the name Aomame comes from the book 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami, she is a trained assassin who goes after abusive men in power. Her bestfriend died at the hands of abuse and she swore her life into seeking justice for those who were forced into silence by the very same people who swore an oath to protect.

Clinical Research You Probably Should Avoid Reading

Clinical Research You Probably Should Avoid Reading

If I were a straight male with a secret fetish for women’s periods, I’d keep that to myself. If I were somebody struggling with gender identity disorder, the number of straight men claiming my struggles as their own in order to mask their own sexual fetishism of womanhood would horrify me.

I would stand with women against the erasure of women, against the hatred and bullying directed at women for standing up against men wielding their power to gain access to sex-based spaces for women. I would denounce those who hijack feminism and demand that women do more to accommodate men who wish to be women because they find stereotypical gender perceptions of women sexually gratifying.

I would apply the clinical research and use it to understand my disorder, and I would condemn anybody who tried to gaslight a young generation of women into believing that transgender women are lesbians with penises. I would laugh in their faces. I’d tell them to get the hell out.

Straight men who aroused by the performance of womanhood are enjoying the mainstream attention of the transgender movement — even more so than those with gender dysphoria. Their once private masturbatory obsessions hold a particular resemblance to gender identity disorder; even better, its a disorder that affords compassion to the sufferers. They don’t suffer from the disorder, but their paraphilia is perfectly masked when claiming to suffer from the same disorder also.

A large part of their sexual desires is the exhibition of it — photographing themselves in sexualised poses and sharing them or uploading them is enough to feel sexually gratifying. If unchecked, this paraphilia becomes overwhelming enough that they can only ‘complete’ their orgasm by partaking in the focus of their fetishism of female gender roles.

Like one who suffers from gender dysphoria, this sexual paraphilia causes destruction to the lives of the sufferers. But they are still two different things. One is an uncontrolled sexual paraphilia. The other is the discomfort of experiencing their life in a male body. They look the same but only one is sexually motivated to use the public compassion for gender identity disorder to experience gratification.

Here are the signs:

They wish to be a woman but won’t give up their penis

Why? If a woman woke up to discover she had a penis, she would immediately remove it before dreaming of ‘hangs with the girls’. They wouldn’t put on makeup and act like everything was fine.

A homosexual male who suffers from gender identity disorder would also feel discomfort with their male organs. Some go as far as having them surgically removed when their symptoms become overwhelming to their quality of life.

But, straight men with a fetish for women’s clothes don't want to stop masturbating with their penises. That would defeat the purpose of their pursuit of this passion.

How to get around this?

“Some women have penises”.
Not Your Body, Not Your Choice.
Tags: Womens Rights, Abortion, Uterus

There seems to be a constant debate between whether, or not women should be able to have an abortion. I think that it is quite ridiculous that this topic of conversation is even being argued about. If it is not your body then you shouldn’t have any say. Lawmakers try to insert themselves into the lives of women who may be going through hell. You never know what the women’s reasoning is behind an abortion, and quite honestly it is none of your business. Mind. Your. Own. Uterus. Period. One cannot possibly account for all of the circumstances behind abortion. Would you want to carry your rapists baby? Would you put your own life in danger just to have a baby? What if you do drugs… that’s going to be passed onto the kid. Imagine working multiple jobs and trying to raise a kid, well that’s what some mothers have to do. Now I know you may be thinking, “well what about abortion?” Well that is not taking into account the fact that the woman may be putting herself at risk physically. Also, even carrying a pregnancy is a huge decision that should never be pushed onto a woman. The next time that you’re thinking about supporting pro-life, remember that if it’s not your body then it is not your choice.

Considerations of Note
Tags: Womens Rights, Lesbian

Considerations of Note

Let’s consider that transsexual persons have always existed.

Transgender is new, and it denotes ‘gender’ as its intangible, ever malleable and undefinable characteristic of male/female existence.

Gender is culturally defined. Thus, if you wanted to ‘change your gender’, there isn’t a lot stopping you from doing that. Gender is the performance of one’s biological sex. It has nothing to do with hormones or wearing different clothes.

So, why are we all so oppressed?

Are transwomen oppressed?

Problem is, it's conversational practice these days to refer to use the term ‘community’. Trans community, African-American community, gay and lesbian community…and so on.

Problem with this is in the way that this erases the case by case basis required to determine one’s gender.

oh fuck it I'm going to bed. This is all really stupid.

Hand in your victim cards and enjoy your dress up games and grant funding in women’s categories. Enjoy your trophies on the podiums of women’s sports you would never win if you played fairly. I’ll keep my integrity. You be a liar.
The Safest Way to Live as a Woman Is to Be Dead

First, they will tell you that you’re too “revealing”. That the sight of your skin brings their “innate nature” alive. You are now responsible for their bad intentions. They say the only way is to cover up.

Now you go out without revealing any skin. You try your best to cover what you can. They won’t know how you look like underneath, right? Suddenly you’re “mysterious”. They become curious of you. You are now responsible for their bad intentions. They say the only way is to stay at home.

You’ve decided that the world out there is dangerous, so you will only stay in the comfort of your own home. You’re definitely safe here, right? News of domestic violence, intrusion and rape… the list goes on. Even the people you trusted are abusing you.

Translation: Dear women, be careful when uploading your photos online. In this tweet, I will attach some pages that steal and upload photos of women onto their porn pages.

I had the misfortune of reading someone write a tweet warning women about men who use their modest photos as “fap fodder” and he spent the rest of his Twitter thread blaming women.

Apparently, it’s a woman’s fault for thinking she partake in the Internet. It’s her fault for thinking that she can be on social media.

It’s totally not the fault of the man with the twisted mind, who tries to carve out the body of a woman through his screen, and fantasises about her in his head while he pleasures himself. His lack of self-control is my fault.

Translation: “Yes, men are difficult to teach. They can be evil even after leaving prison. That’s why women have to be careful. Men are predators, women are prey. Women need to seek protection from other predators to make sure they don’t fall prey.”

The same man went on to say that women can never be capable of building civilisation and are better off staying in a cave.

Patriarchy is a system designed to erase the existence of women and dehumanise them into mere commodities.

We are to be used and discarded according to their convenience. We don’t deserve an ounce of respect if we do not serve their purpose. Sometimes, we don’t get respect even if we served our purpose for them.

Evil men will always make excuses for evil men because they know if they had half the courage or power to inflict harm as predators do, they would probably do the same thing. They get annoyed when people strive for equality and justice, because “crime will always happen”. They’re comfortable with the status quo because it favours them and they are less likely to be harmed for being a man.

That’s why whenever a man tries to tell you hiding from the world is the safest way to live as a woman, your flick him off and do what you want. How much longer do we have to live that way only because they said so?

I vehemently refuse to allow our sons and daughters to be raised in such a mundane, cruel world. It’s not a “men’s world” anymore.
New Anti-Rape Law In Pakistan
By: Liza Donnelly
Tags: Pakistan, Womens Rights, Women, Freedom, Antirape

Recently, there was an horrific gang rape in Lahore Pakistan, where a woman was attacked when her car broke down on a busy street. She was raped by numerous men in front of her children. A government official suggested it was partly the fault of the woman. The gang rape and the victim blaming sparked many protests in the streets. The women of Pakistan are demanding the government help them in combatting the increased incidents of rape in their country.

The government listened. President Arif Alvi passed an Anti-Rape Ordinence. It includes special courts to hear and deal with cases rapidly, possible chemical castration of repeat offenders, disclosure of victim’s name a punishable offence, and police and public officials face prison time if negligent in these cases.

This is an important development in the fight for women’s safety and freedom in Pakistan and around the world. It is of course important to pass strong legislation such as this new ordinence, but the batle against rape and harrasment also takes cultural change. Men must NOT RAPE; boys need to be taught at an early age that it is wrong.

Rape culture is everywhere in the world, in various degrees and manifestations. This includes the United States.

Women need to be treated with respect, women need to be safe, and women need to be free to move about in the world. Our bodies are not other people’s property.

Panty spray: A better way to refreshen yourself

Being a woman is difficult, especially when it comes to our genital areas. As we get older, the difficulties associated with it also increases tremendously. One of the most common problems is odour. Whether it is due to hormonal imbalances, lack of proper hygiene and even during the period, every girl/woman is conscious whether it is smelling. Sometimes such condition can also hinder in their performance, their confidence and might even make them mentally disturbed. Therefore every girl must be aware of intimate hygiene. Today let’s talk about one of the intimate hygiene product that can be a lifesaver. Especially if one is suffering from odour related issues. PANTY SPRAY

Panty spray is one of the feminine hygiene sprays which can be used to control odour if present. It helps in feeling fresh and cool and minimize the odour in every possible way. Panty spray comes in many fragrances and with its non-itching components as it is used for external use only. Panty spray cannot be used in genital areas as itching, rashes might increase. They come in fragrances such as lavender, rose, and several other mineral oils too.

It feels very uncomfortable when odour comes out of our genital areas, making it feel like we are suffering from some kind of disease. Though disease association might be present, in most cases lack of proper hygiene is the highlighted reason. Even though there are several other intimate hygiene products, here are some advantages of why one should use panty spray.

IMPORTANCE

1. To minimise the odour associated in our panty

2. To feel fresh and active all day long

3. To avoid the growth of microorganisms, and bacteria

4. To maintain feminine hygiene

5. To avoid any sort of embarrassment associated with lack of hygiene.

6. Won’t disturb the natural pH level

7. Absorbs moisture

Panty spray is a way to go for anyone who needs a quick refreshment in their intimate areas. It can be embarrassing when you smell and make yourself as well as people around you uncomfortable. Along with that its frequent use can irritate some people. Therefore it is better to consult your gynaecologist for its use. Along with making sure you do not have any allergy to any of the components in the panty spray.

It doesn’t, the slight atypicality in a couple of areas of the brain vis-a-vis other same-sex…
By: Angela Volkov

It doesn’t, the slight atypicality in a couple of areas of the brain vis-a-vis other same-sex attracted* men of their sex, cross-sex hormones, surgeries, donning gendered clothing, a self-evaluation of being woman-like all result in a group with the same pattern of sexual offending, the same overwhelming advantage in sports, who are as attractive to lesbians…as are other males. To *you*, your gender identity/affinity with prototypical feminine things matters more than your body, and you want to be free of sex-based expectations and live like a woman socially (requiring others to play along). That’s all well and good.

But it doesn’t mean gender identity trumps sex. If research showed transwomen are the same physicality and behaviour-wise (deeper things than liking tea parties as a toddler or putting on a dress like Harry Styles or not putting on a dress like a butch lesbian), then that would be a different matter.

Protect these prepubescent kids who without your indoctrination, research shows will almost all** grow out of being transgender and into gay teens? From what — reality?

*confounding factor

**some won’t, and are free to seek out surgery as adults that will make them look more like the opposite sex even though you keep reiterating sex isn’t as important as gender. Try being a little girl about to be raped or mutilated, invoking male “gender” won’t help you. You disregard women’s experiences when you say the grounds for their oppression doesn’t matter. It’s a vile and entitled and dismissive view. I’m a woman because I’m an adult female human. There’s more to me than being a woman, but there’s not more to being a woman than biology, socialisation, and lived experience that has only minimal overlap with the transwoman experience. To be classified as a woman you only need to be an adult female human. It’s a simple definition, even if it inconveniences you.

Be happy about the rights you have, and stop being jealous of the rights and protections accorded to people on the basis of something you don’t have/are not affected by.

About

After that, Sunset Blvd. featured her in several billboard campaigns that proved to be a success. Abigail then also featured on the small screen in some guest roles on ABC. She has worked with popular fashion designers like Michael Costello. She seems to show no hint of taking her career slow as she launched her first calendar and projects in the year.

She entered the Pennsylvania pageant when she was only 20 years old. Abigail is always excited about her work, especially if it is something big. Along with that, Abigail also loves traveling to different places. She takes all the attention that she gets, especially from the male department, very coolly. Abigail is a very self-respectful woman. According to her, it is more important to be independent for a woman rather than having a man.

States have manipulated the pandemic response to restrict abortion.
By: James Knight
Tags: Politics, Womens Rights, Women, Abortion, Covid 19

States have manipulated the pandemic response to restrict abortion.

“Never let a good crisis go to waste” is attributed to Winston Churchill during WW II. US governors and legislatures opposed to a woman’s right to choose applied this axiom in 2020, mainly under cover of the pandemic, to further enhance abortion restrictions. Since the onset of the coronavirus crisis in the US, 11 governors explicitly excluded abortion care from the essential services allowed to operate amid shutdowns, essentially manipulating the pandemic response to ban abortion care in their states.

These state leaders ignored what medical and public health experts recognize — that abortion is essential, time-sensitive health care. While courts prohibited some of these state actions from going into effect, states in which some degree of abortion restrictions were instituted include Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Florida, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas

This compounds my 2019 rage:
