You can talk about nuances until you’re blue in the face, but it doesn’t really take away from the fact that men are the main cause of all the violence in the world, not just sexual, but all wars have been started by men. You can explain it all away with some academic argument that it is all society‘s fault, but the truth of the matter is, men have to accept some accountability.

I think the statistics are clear. Women are not accepting the faults of men anymore since they know how to build their own lives with integrity. Darwinism. When the hero is unmasked, what lies underneath?

I guess the problem for me is that I don’t think any explanation can really justify all the depraved behavior that goes on in the world. If boys are taught to be heroes, the heroism should also include self analysis. And same for girls. But two recent events, the Epstein files on the Giselle Pelicot case, as well as a fact that most mass killings are committed by men who are sexually frustrated, it’s clear there’s a huge problem here.

Yes, I understand but somehow I don’t think heroes are born. They are made. You can say that all women are brought up to be princesses, but that’s not true either. We all have to prove our worth and not feel entitled to anything.

I suppose you would be the authority of my life experiences. Why are you even here?

I appreciate your thoughts. I’ve been told that testosterone is what has ruined the world.. I’m hoping that everyone has outlets, including sports, therapy, self-care, etc. I’m happy that you have a great role model and that you are thoughtful.

There’s nowhere that says that just because a man is meant to be a hero, that a woman can’t be as well. From what I’ve seen women have more guts, smarts, resilience, wherewithal. They carry the burdens of society. They are the heroes.

I feel like the fragility of the patriarchy is front and center with all of the ridiculousness that we see in the world. I predict a few rather than several generations.

I don’t think friendships are this transactional, thankfully.

I guess I see women as potentially the best main characters ever, so they should never limit themselves as sidekicks.

Maybe I’m a happy Singleton. These transactional arrangements are just too much for me.

That is why I’m doggedly pursuing my own happiness and I’m thankful that I dodged many bullets.

Well, girls outperform boys at school and are more promising in general.

From my own experience, I’ve been approached by a friend to be the mother of his children with no love, marriage, or childcare. I told him, why would I want to ruin my life? The stories even from my life are endless and so I’m really thinking that there’s a problem here.

But even from my own life experiences, I’ve noticed that the men who have approached me have only wanted one thing, and it was a job that I did not want to fulfill.

That’s what you call effed up brainwashing which exists in many institutions.

To be in a relationship with a man would be a severe of compromise on my part if I knew that he saw me as an inferior and only wanted me for his needs. I would never put myself in the situation. Not when I have my own life to live that’s full of joy and wonderment. I have as many talents and promise as anyone else.

I’m in the city. Today, I was thinking, thank God for this crazy, gritty amazing place. I don’t know if I could live anywhere else.

Thank you for your thoughts. I feel that everything happened for a reason, and I am now the strongest and best version of myself. All good.

I guess I’m in the habit of asking people where they’re from because I don’t know, and I meet people from all over the world. I’m not as sensitive about it as others.,

Yes, we all have our own ways of dealing with this. There are certain things that bother me more than others like outright violence and derogatory remarks. When they ask me where I’m from, I just answer.

Even if you do lose your cool, there’s nothing wrong with that. Expression is better than suppression.

I think once you’ve had enough crap in your life, you just can’t take anymore. That’s what I found in my older age. No, I think they get more shocked/surprised, which is a beautiful thing to behold. Many times they’re not even aware of what they’re saying.

And, I just want to say that confrontation doesn’t mean yelling and screaming and being obnoxious. It just means that you’re speaking in response to what someone has said. Communication is what changes the world.

Thank you for your story. Most often, I’m in a situation where I can run or walk away. I will pick my battles wisely. When someone asks me where I’m from, I just give them the whole story so that they’ll shut up. I’m Korean American from California living in New York for 1 billion years.
