Last Notes npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose I don't think disciplined is the right word. More like understanding, or open. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose āTo blame feminism for the decline of the traditional family is to admit that the old ways relied on womenās oppression to sustain it.ā npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose I have a general policy of calling people out when I hear them say ugly things. And nearly always those people will get angry at me for that and say all sorts of things such as āYouāre too sensitiveā or āI have free speechā and my favorite, āItās just a word!ā And yes, they are entirely correct. Itās just a word, and words donāt really matter, itās just a sound. But, intentions do matter. I donāt care about the word itself, I care about the intention. āBitchā is a good example. I will at times call a friend a ācrazy bitchā, but in a playful context where it is clear that my intention is joking or even complementary. That same friend may have just yesterday encountered some asshole at a bar that got mad at her when she wasnāt interested in him and called her a āfucking bitch!ā In that context itās clear that his intention was to insult her and to insult her specifically because she is a woman. And this friend is going to respond to these two situations very differently. Same word, very different intentions. Itās always all about the intention. The same word is a very different thing when used light heartedly vs when used as an insult. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose A threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose https://blossom.primal.net/85699b03ec75e94f7206c211372565794ffa3210420a835f40986cde95bb0a7a.jpg npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose I have the best friends.

Patriarchy has existed for about 3% of humanity and the single family home stay at home Mom has been common for about 0.07% of human history. While most hunter-gatherer tribes practiced a form of egalitarian communism for most of our history.

I am convinced that I NEED to shave my legs. There is zero scientific/medical data to support this idea. And women shaving their legs wasnāt even a thing until the 1940s in the U.S. Human bodies have hair on them, itās perfectly normal and healthy⦠and I barely even have leg hair!

We are pretty much always caught in one form of groupthink/mass psychosis or another. ...Always. You canāt escape it, itās how we are wired. The best option is to be very aware of it. So tell me, which groupthinks are you currently caught in? npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose https://blossom.primal.net/fe8a9b3c7399c5dfdb75f71b65145241e4581ba4b82c9e50487228ef65b39a49.jpg npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose FYI, having an IUD inserted is at least a 5x more difficult experience than getting the side of your head tattooed. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose Marry someone with a good sense of humor. The vast majority of the time you spend with your spouse wonāt be on luxurious Italian vacations, or sipping wine at a fancy restaurant. Most of your time together will be spent changing diapers, and debating whoās turn it is to switch the laundry, and adding milk to the shopping list, and filling out health insurance forms. And you definitely want to be doing all that with someone who can have a laugh about it. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose You werenāt wrong, you just missed the 5! So one time, after a therapy appointment, I was pondering all the things that I have been "wrong" about in life, and I learned something very interesting. I don't think I've ever been wrong, but I have often been short sighted. I will see 2 & 2 and say that the answer to this dilemma is 4. Which is absolutely correct, 2 + 2 = 4!!! I am right. But after years of others insisting that the answer is 9, I finally one day stumbled onto a 5 in the equation. So of course 2 + 2 = 4, but I hadn't realized that there was also a 5 hiding in the corner. And when you add that in, then, yup, the answer is 9.Ā Do you see what I mean? npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose I like that! Unfortunately that is not how the word is generally used, at least in American Christianity. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose A lot of people absorbed the idea that āI was wrongā = āIām a horrible personā. Unfortunately a lot of religion leans into this. In religion āI was wrongā = āI sinnedā = āIām going to be punished by godā ...which is of course terrifying! npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose This is mostly true. The details here are that the new death penalty law does not explicitly apply only to Palestinians, but effectively does. The new law applies to military courts where only Palestinians are tried. Israeli citizens and residents including Jewish settlers are not subject to military courts. Also there is some due process, appeals are allowed, though they must be heard by a special court, and it seems that the standard procedural safeguards have been weakened. But the law does prohibit mitigation, commutation, or pardon, and it sets a 90-day deadline for execution after a final judgment. And of course the Holocaust comparison is a matter of opinion. https://blossom.primal.net/3fdc944c684b8d921cafc13a78d1a7fde7b3492573395929c2da50788fa3cd1b.jpg npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose https://blossom.primal.net/e0b9d8a594e0a64dc1561fa19e41a3b559290e374aff36a989af02161221ab6c.jpg npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose https://blossom.primal.net/eb0b691e1bb1d9cdbcf02dd21574ef357295cf2ea35b38d6c418834c5e32d145.jpg npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose Fashion things that make no sense and I'm done with...

It would be a crisis if no one was doing the science and trying to reproduce findings. And many things in psychology are proven accurate/effective via reproducible studies. āFreud was a creepā: Yes! Also pretty much everyone knows that and a lot of his theories have been discredited.

Humans have a big fucking issue with mania and groupthink. We expect that in places like politics but we are often blind to it in fields like science and technology. But groupthink exists anywhere that humans exist. Many years ago I became a technological determinist and decided that the best way to improve the world was to build tech.

A clear yes, and clear no. One clear line in the sand. But life is messy and complicated and doesnāt often lend itself to clear answers. A sign of maturity and intelligence is the ability to wrestle with a very complex issue and resist the urge to lean on a simplistic answer. If youād like to test someoneās ability to wrestle with complex issues, ask for their opinion on abortion. Rarely is there an issue that fits this test better. It is complex and for most people it stirs very deep and difficult to manage emotions. Abortion fits this test so well as you have two things that very much matter, a fetus and a woman, and in the scenarios that we debate, their interests are at odds. For every simple and clear answer that you think you can find, once you change the assumptions or scenario, that simplicity evaporates. The question of abortion also reveals someoneās ability to exhibit care and understanding for others whether that other is an unborn fetus or a living woman. The language that someone uses, the examples that they chose⦠reveals a lot. If you are of the mind that abortion is a simple matter, then I hope that the below walk through of my take on the topic reveals many aspects that you had not been consciously considering. This topic is one where we can very quickly see that the answer will always be context dependent and a constant weighing of the relative importance of conflicting needs. Does a fetus matter? Letās start before impregnation and imagine an IVF clinic. Here is a classic thought experiment: You are in a building when suddenly the fire alarm goes off and you realize the place is engulfed in flames. As you run to safety you pass an IVF clinic. Inside the open door to the IVF office you see a container holding hundreds of frozen embryos and next to it a crying 2 year old child. You only have the strength and time to save one. Which do you choose? Nearly everyone will choose to save the child. Why? Because while an embryo certainly does have value, itās value is far less than that of a living child. That child has thoughts, and feelings, a fully functional nervous system that can experience pain, that child has attachments, and has begun forming an identity, a story. While the embryoās have none of that. This thought experiment illustrates that the value of an embryo grows as it does. Most of us would agree that abortions are less objectionable the earlier in a pregnancy that they happen, and many of us would find a late term abortion to be similar to that of murdering a baby. So letās move to the very difficult topic of late term abortions. If you were thinking that this one is quite clear, then Iāll tell you about one line that changed my whole perspective on this topic. Years ago I read an article written by a doctor who performs late term abortions, the line that changed my mind was simply āthe people who come to me are people who have already painted the nursery.ā The stories she proceeded to tell about why prospective parents ended up in her office were absolutely gut wrenching stories of medical tragedy. Situations where the baby wonāt make it, and the mother might not either. Stories where the options are to let the baby slip away in peace now, or force the parents to watch their child live in pain and cry in gasps for its last breath of air. The abortions she performed were not done out of revenge or regret, they were a tragedy management tool that saved lives and eliminated certain suffering. With these examples we can see that the bar for when abortion is a decent thing to do raises as that fetus develops. But thus far weāve only thought about one end of the equation, the fetus, but we canāt forget that this also involves women. Does a woman matter? Thus far in my life I have had two pregnancies. Both well planned and both that resulted in the birth of a healthy child. I have been responsible, but I have also been lucky. Being pregnant was an amazing experience. I had uncomplicated pregnancies and it was mind blowing to feel these new people develop and grow inside my body. They had distinct personalities while still in the womb. I have not been faced with having to make a difficult decision about terminating a pregnancy, and I hope that I never have to make those choices. It would be gut wrenching to end a pregnancy. It is a death of sorts, certainly it is a great loss and a tragedy. But were it my body, my fetus, without a doubt it is my decision. Burden and choice are flip sides of the same coin. Those with the āskin in the gameā are those that are best suited to make the choices. Someone in a fancy suit hundreds of miles away who will not have to live with the outcome of the situation is wildly unfit to make difficult reproductive choices for others. No one has more of a right to make reproductive choices than a pregnant woman. Giving someone else the rights to make these difficult choices is to disrespect the rights of women. It is to remove bodily autonomy and make women slaves. While childbearing is certainly natural, it is never easy, and quite often it is very dangerous. Statistically speaking, being pregnant is currently the 6th most dangerous job in the United States. Some years itās more dangerous than being a police officer. And in parts of the world without modern health care, complications from pregnancy and childbirth are the leading cause of death for young women. When a woman chooses to bear a child not only does she risk her life, she is certain to undergo a very difficult and traumatic experience. Birthing a child is incredibly gruesome work. For most of us we will have a moment of finding ourselves laying in a pool of our own blood and feces wishing we could pass out. With my second child I was unable to get an epidural and Iām pretty sure I maxed out my bodyās ability to feel pain. Can you imagine what it feels like to have your body ripped apart from the inside out? No I am not being dramatic, ripped is the right word. And letās not forget that the recovery is likely to last years. What right does someone have to force another sovereign being through such a process? And I will only touch on the topic of rape. I think any decent person would be appalled by the idea of a woman being assaulted and then forced to risk her life in enduring the birth of her rapistās child. So which one matters? Both obviously. And that is the difficult and complicated part, that itās both. I imagine weāve all seen the very publicized examples of very crass abortion supporters who have done things like throw an abortion party, etc. Thatās ugly. And it says that women matter but a fetus does not matter. Iām sure we can all also think of an example of a staunch anti-abortion campaigner who would like to see women forced to carry their rapists babies. Thatās horrific. And it says that a fetus matters but a woman does not matter. The tricky part about all of this is that itās both, and itās not simple at all. The life and well being of a woman matters, and a fetus also matters. In tragic times and places when their needs are at odds, then very difficult choices about which matters most have to be made. And the āanswerā to that will differ in every situation. Itās a constant weighting of conflicting rights at different points in time in different situations. Itās not simple. We canāt make it simple. If we can take a step back from our very understandably intense emotional connection to this topic, we can see that any clear and simple answer crumbles under the reality of varying situations. Having a considered and caring take on abortion requires the capacity to hold complexities. It requires maturity and intelligence. npub1tv5j2h2742ht2a6490cdzypsxah5wlge5qyutadgphw884ynt8mqg4jlst hmichellerose Look, you want to go & make sure all your stuff is up to date & expect to have to do some emergency updates soon.
