Not to be an Art Snob or anything but something that makes me genuinely so so tired:

The material/execution: wild and crazy and innovative, high technical skill, the artist doing genuinely cool and unexpected things in regards to the process of creating the piece

The subject: a generically pretty woman with a completely neutral expression gazing off in a Direction

#Assuming her eyes aren't just closed #I am so exhausted by all the artists #Men AND women #Who refuse to make their principal figure anything other than a vaguely wistful looking fashion model

She pitied men always as if they lacked something—women never, as if they had something.

Advice on Intimacy (for Women)

Again, I will keep this tasteful and safe for work.

The biggest hang up most men have is being insecure about being manly enough, including in the bedroom. The way to get him over this, and form a deep emotional bond in the process, is this:

(A) Take the initiative and gently place him on his back, but do not start by kissing on the lips. Start lower, kissing his special places. The reason? This lets his mind relax and lets him know the pressure to put on a performance is gone. He can close his eyes for the moment, moving from negativity to positivity.

(B) With him still on his back, take him entirely, but gently.

(C) Talk to him sweetly, with words like, "Does that feel good?", and encourage him to express little coos of enjoyment, with words like, "That's right, baby (or whatever your terms of endearment are with him).

(D) Talk him through to the big moment, not in a "dirty" way, but softly and sweetly.

(E) Do not stop after the big moment. Keep gently kissing him all over, and keep saying soft, sweet words.

This way, you are in full control of him, but in the spirit of true love. He will not only need you physically, but emotionally, deeply, because you made him feel special, loved and deeply relaxed, free of all the anxious expectations to be macho. He will trust you.To make it full intimacy, emotional as well as physical:

(F) Talk to him about whatever he wants afterwards. Sometimes, just listening to what is on his mind without judgment is what he needs most- and, of course, cuddle.

Of course, do this only for the man of your life, but in truth, if a man does not appreciate this, he is not worthwhile anyway. Most men would be too embarrassed to describe these needs, but I am a man who likes women, and I think this approach to intimacy could even keep relationships together.

Bless you all, and peace:

Basically women’s whole existence has been systemically reliant on their ability to be mothers, even today. It’s a relic way of thinking that hasn’t been dealt with properly in society.

Gendered Ageism is Sexism

Women are widely only considered attractive at the age they’re “fertile” or “legal” and able to have children. Then women are tossed aside after menopause or even after 30. Whereas men are still considered attractive well into their 50s and even older. Ageist sexism is misogyny. Young women become old, old women were young. They're one in the same, not two different types of women! What's disturbing is we have maintained these antiquated ideas backed with "biology", and yet, teens are by far the most sexualized as we can see how "barely legal teen" porn is the most popular tag today. BUT it's proven that teens are less fertile than women in their 20s! Therefore, there's no excuse to want to go after teens besides a latent pedophilia or want to control someone who is coming out of childhood.

This is exemplified by Hollywood where many actresses are discarded after 40 to play mothers and are told they’re “too old” to play love interests of men over 10 years older than them! This way of thinking makes its way into people’s minds via film and TV and makes it a reality.

Gendered ageism has been experienced by most women by the age of 35-40!

Women over 40 have their jobs hanging by a thread with gendered ageism affecting their leadership positions, their pay, them possibly losing their job, and them having a hard time finding work! Whereas men don’t have the same disadvantages at this age.

Call out people on their gendered ageist bullshit and call out young women who think they’re better just because they’re younger. The young women are digging their own graves when they fight against older women. They will become “old” in no time at all and will have to suffer the same things in addition to possibly being taken advantage of sexually at a young age.

We have to fight this part of sexism if we want true gender equality!

This post will be be different from my entire page. It is an information point mainly discussing girls:

As a once perceived female, I have anger. Today I walked down the streets of my beloved town and I remembered the first time I went down it on my own. I was terrified and walking quickly because I heard horror stories and I felt sad about being separated from my family (I got a little bit lost). The FIRST pub I quickly walked past I was a scared object. I don't remember what they said, but it was something about being on my own and a pretty girl and just general catcalling. I was that sort of age where I didn't have any dislikes in food or in people. That must've been the first thing I disliked. I was so scared and it took me a long time to go out by myself.

This wasn't the first time I was sexualised, nor the last. It hurts me the disparage between men and woman, or more apt between men and girls.

May I iterate at this time that there is so much good in this world. Mostly reiterating to me so I don't throw something.

Dance took up a lot of my life when young. At the age of maybe 6 I learned to "sexy dance". Couldn't have been more than 4 when I started this sport and I remember so clearly being told to suck everything in. Ballet does rely on core strength, and I thought there was something wrong with me for having a bum or having a tiny tiny stomach that stuck out in revealing leotards. I was teased by the teacher for having breakfast.

It's one of my earliest memories.

I thought for years this was the fault of the leotar, that girls shouldnt wear such things. Turns out it's the people, the teachers, our unwanted observers.

Today, my boss walked behind me centimetres past me and I froze. His towel brushed my arse a little bit that could have easily been a genuine accident. What wasn't an accident was how close he was to me than his male co-workers. All shift he treated me like an idiot for asking questions about the workplace that I'm new to. I know for a fact that if it was a man asking the same questions that he would be inquisitive and wanting to learn, but I perceived his responses to mean that I am shrill and annoying.

We are taught from a very young age that men are dangerous and it proves to be right. We are taught to fear them all. Never during lessons was I surprised to hear the horrors of the world because it's ingrained from birth.

Half of our population is scared of the other.

Half of our population feel scared when a man is behind you.

Half of our population can't deal with this fear anymore.

We have been crying out for centuries to be taken seriously.

Since women being able to vote, there has been a shift of "women have all the rights already, why do we have to change because of one bad thing that happened?"

We need to change because grown women are afraid to be alone.

We need to change because children get cat called.

Legally, we are equal.

To you, we are equal because we can do the same jobs as you.

We see the ways you treat us differently but we are AFRAID to speak up.

We can't lose our jobs over this. Many do. I was replaced by a boy in my first workplace because he would be stronger than weak little girl. I lost my next job because I spoke out about feeling not safe.

I feel afraid when there's only men in the room. I feel that I can't say anything and I'm helpless. I feel that I'm the idiot, no matter what. One man can make a room full of girls/ women feel threatened.

A 16 year old today was told off because her legs were on display and it wasn't professional. I've seen men bartenders wear shorts all of the time.

There are different standards for you and for i, all because you presume me female.

We don't want to anger you in case you strike out and hurt us.

Because we've all been hurt by people like you.

I implore for the women/ former women to find a single woman who hasn't been scared of a man just waking down the street, just being looked at for too long.

Reply if you have never been scared of men.

Reblog if you have never not been scared of men.

A poem to end this speech.

Men.

I don't care who you are

I'm scared of you.

Jordan Peterson is a clinical psychologist who I think gives the best advice. He said “ Think long and hard what it is you want from a partner , then go be that!”

This week, the Review is publishing a series of short reflections on love songs, broadly defined.

The other night I streamed Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song, a documentary by Daniel Geller and Dayna Goldfine. In most of the footage, we see a Leonard who’s reflective and doubting. As I watched his Jewish man’s face age and his dark hair turn gray, I wondered what I could learn from him about drawing no conclusions. That might be the motto of his life and music—draw no conclusions. It’s a sexy, freewheeling stance. I’d like it to be the motto of my life, except I draw conclusions all the time. They happen to be wrong, which saves me.

I always wondered what women wanted from Leonard. I think they wanted what they thought the songs were about. In the songs, a man is thinking about how to get the woman, and he thinks he can get her by figuring out what she wants. Leonard is imagining what it would be like to be a woman with a man coming on to her.

This is great. This is basically the opposite of every other song written by a man about a woman. For example, in his entire life, Bob Dylan has never imagined the effect of his lyrics on a woman, or else, you know, the words would not be so sneering, and he would give us a picture of the woman and not just her effect on him. Bob doesn’t address women. He writes to men about women. He can do what he likes. But not once in my life did I think Bob would be a good fuck. Every woman on the planet has thought Leonard would be a good fuck.

There’s a clip in the documentary of Leonard singing “I’m Your Man,” the title song of an album he released in 1988. The gravel in his voice has settled. In interviews, he said he felt he could sing at that point with the “authority and intensity” the song needed. He’s trying to win back the woman. He’s screwed up in some way. Gee, I wonder how? He’s grown aloof? He’s slept around? He stands there, holding the mic like it’s her hand, and he lays himself out. He doesn’t care if he looks vulnerable. Actually, he doesn’t. He’s in control of the show. The song is the blindfold. The song is going to lead you to the party.

The music has a jaunty, Kurt Weill bounce that builds without laying on too much of the old-world schmaltz Leonard likes to play with in other songs. He’s alone, with no chorus or backup singers. Just Leonard promising anything to turn her on. The file box of possibilities, itself, is the turn-on. He’ll wear a mask for you. He’ll let you strike him down in anger. He’ll go into the ring for you. He’ll explore every inch of you. He’ll have a baby with you. He’ll drive you like a car. He’ll let you drive him like a car. He’ll move off if you want to be alone.

Let’s get back to the “I’ll explore every inch of you.” He’s been with enough women to know this is the hook. He will make you feel he could drown in you. He’s drowning in something, and in sex it’s easy to think it’s you. Until the feeling wears off.

In 2008, when Leonard is seventy-three, he hits the road again to perform. He needs to reinvent his life and he’s broke. A woman who isn’t named in the documentary has stolen all his money while he’s spent five years in a Buddhist monastery. When he plans the tour, he’s afraid of the reception he’ll get, although it turns out tons of people love him. He doesn’t know how this has happened. He doesn’t believe he has anything to say except this is the way an artist makes a life, by staying in the game. And he hopes to give pleasure.

Onstage, he tells the audience he’s grateful to perform for them. He feels honored. You think it’s authentic. He’s so sweet and also severe in his restraint. In his whole life, Bob Dylan has taken very few breaks from performing. Onstage, Bob doesn’t look at the audience or tell them more than he needs to. You want to look at me, he’s saying; well, here I am. This is what you get. With Leonard, it’s all: Take me. What is it you want that I can give you?
