So if I dislike some women, or things some of them do, or judge some of them... then I am a misogynist? That seems (sooooo) extreme.

23 Ways You May Have Internalised Misogyny Without Even Realising

Boy oh boy it's rant/response time!!


Definition of misogyny: dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women. So if I dislike some women, or things some of them they do, or judge some of them... then I am a misogynist? That seems extreme. Read the article, then move on to my response to it
*I've been appalled by body hair on other women- mustaches and 5 o'clock shadows mostly- while allowing some of mine to get unruly at times (So I participate in no shave November, judge me). *I've felt uncomfortable having stubble under my arms, on my legs, and on my bikini line-- That's my personal feeling about it and my personal regret for overlooking it. I take responsibility for why I feel uncomfortable, and I usually get over it so it doesn't ruin my day. *I joke that I have the sexual urges of a man because it seems most women don't have them, and most men brag about them. Since my husband is a man and he DOES NOT have the same sexual appetite as me I know that it is not ALL men who are this way- but whatever. I'm not offended because it's more socially acceptable for men to have vivacious sex lives. I live my own life. *Even though sex is a mutual act, it is not mutually experienced. Try as hard as you can, climaxing at or near the same time is virtually impossible and can actually make the sex suck. My hubby is well aware that he will have to service me if he reaches his first, and if I don't want the P I will still try to please him in some way. Communication is key ladies. Don't blame the men for it- you're just as responsible for the outcome. *Being threatened or jealous of prettier chicks is an instinct- we know who's faster, stronger, smarter and vying for mates. That's animalistic instincts in us. Fight it all you want- but in reality, you don't HAVE TO like anyone else. *I have gone back and forth between wanting to have kids and not wanting them, between having a career if I have kids and being a stay at home mom. Even considered hubby being the stay at home parent. It's personal. Everyone not involved should mind their own business. The couple gets to decide and if people want to judge whatever ladies- let it roll off you. Have a thicker skin, ladies. Have a witty response. Or tell people to mind their own business.Be that bada$$ b**ch or nasty woman or whatever you want to call yourself.
*Whether or not I have experienced discrimination, predjudiced, violence, or whatever else makes you a feminist... I choose not to actively be one. IN MY OPINION they're whiney, annoying, don't get their facts right, appear uneducated, are selfish, and seem to hate men. I like men. I like my dad, my hubby, my guy friends- I like men A LOT. I hate feminists. And that's my personal choice. Don't tell me how to feel lol- I won't tell you to take your pussy hat off your head. Stupid article. SMH. Come on people- stop trying to change everyone else and their perceptions and start where you have the power to MAKE a change. Just start with yourself. If you think you put too much emphasis on certain things, then you do you and right it in your soul. We spend too much time judging and generalizing and trying to put labels on OTHER people. That's gotta be stressful, and induce anxiety. I'm anxious just thinking about all the women who are now like OMG I'm a misoginist!!! MAYBE you are, maybe you're not. I personally don't think I'm 100% a misogynist and thus I will not be focusing my efforts on fighting my misogyny.

Everyone's thinking it, I'm asking: Is today's left wing liberalism a mental illness?

This is a serious topic of discussion on 'the right'. Not even the far right... the center right. The " 68 % conservatives", the "Centrists", the "Young Outsiders", and the "Somewhat Liberals".  I don't know what the spectrum is for "political or world views" but I'd have to say I hang to the right and the conservative. Which sounds so weird, because CONSERVATIVE is not really a word I'd  ever  use to describe myself. But I talked about this in past blog posts... today's topic is, are people on the FAR LEFT suffering from mental illness? My psychologist sister would have you believe that everyone suffers from some form of mental illness in varying degrees. I suffer from anxiety which induces depression. FUN! The anxiety is inherited, the depression is what occurs when you stop learning how to cope with new or prolonged anxiety inducing situations. Anxiety is a product of chemical imbalance, it can be trea...

sensory overload

We soothe ourselves and distract ourselves and, if we can’t even face the demons inside our own brain, how can we be expected to stick something out, to love someone even when it’s not easy to love them? We bail. We leave. We see a limitless world in a way that no generation before us has seen. We can open up a new tab, look at pictures of Portugal, pull out a Visa, and book a plane ticket. We don’t do this, but we CAN. The point is  that we know we can, even if we don’t have the resources to do so. There are always other tantalizing options. Open up Instagram, Facebook, SnapChat and see the lives of others, the life we could have. The life that just looks so much more glamorous, vibrant (thanks, filters), and exciting than ours. See the places we’re not traveling to. See the lives we’re not living. See the people we’re not dating. We bombard ourselves with stimuli, input, input, input, and we wonder why we’re miserable. We wonder why we’re dissatisfied. ...

Gender Reveal

I had told my husband- after being invited to many of them and seeing more than 'a few' on social media - that I didn't want to have a gender reveal. To me, it's stupid. Being invited to one, I'm like "Do we bring a gift?" or "How does this work?" I think that after being pregnant, I have a better grasp on them and a more solid opinion of them. For my first child, we decided to hold off on a few things. We didn't do the 14 week blood test that would 100% tell us the gender, because it would also tell us a slew of other genetic information (such as if it had Downs or other diseases) that we decided was inconsequential. We didn't find out together during the ultrasound at 20 weeks what baby was, we took home an envelope. We didn't even open that envelope together. My husband actually ran inside the house, opened it, and had it tucked away before I got inside. He HAD TO know, I didn't. I was happy with having a healthy baby growing...
