I’m the first to admit that as a woman, I say a lot of things that men will probably find confusing and stupid as you do but as many people would say a woman do have their own language, and for many years men I have known tried to understand the way a woman communicates. I personally would laugh about it because it’s known to be a classic thing for a woman to do and hope to god that when I do find a man that truly communicates and treats me fairly there will be no reason for my stupid comments. Now, do you think after saying my stupid comments I’m going to turn back no matter how stupid and ridiculous it is? Look regardless how delusional I sound the problem here is that you just don’t get how I feel and how my emotions are tied to my gut. In many occasions, I have promised myself not to waste my time but it gets to a point that I can’t help myself because for no apparent reason …show more content…
So I question it again … Do you have moments of clarity after you have an orgasm? Do you regret having sex with me? I think you don’t have regrets because if you did then you will not allow yourself to do it but you have confirmed that you allow it for convenience and to satisfy your needs. I allow it for the same reasons. Why the attitude? Is it wrong to expect for people to come into my life and put in the same effort as I do? Is it wrong to speak up about having a normal relationship with an understanding of each other? So it’s okay to have a type of relationship that consists of a one way with a dead end. Please tell me what’s wrong with this whole situation? So, why are you normal with me when the boys are around? You seem to show your playfulness and horniness more often they are here but the moment they leave your whole demeanor changes. Do I want to know why? Do you find yourself being miserable around me? Or do you hate living here with me? Or do you have regrets after we have sex? What is
Do you really want to have a relationship (platonic OR intimate) with someone who can’t accept you for who you are? If only you could fix the things that are “wrong” with you, would it make you truly happy? Or would you feel like you’d had to chance the very core of your being just to make one person happy?
The social norm I broke is making too much eye contact, or staring excessively, at my teachers. While sitting in class, I stared at my teachers more than I stared at my paper or looked around the classroom. It is usually normal for students to stare down at their desks and not look at the teacher a lot.
I'm actually super excited to do this topic because I feel like sometimes us as woman or even men settle for what we think we deserve rather then what we actually deserve and that mainly has to do with what type of significant other you are associating yourself with! Sometimes we as woman or men tend to not know the difference between a bad guy and a good guy or we do but we stick around in hopes they'd change! Sometimes we as people tend to attract to our opposite self! Sometimes we as people get comfortable to who we are with that everything that's being said and done you get so accustomed to that lifestyle, whether good or bad you don't know what's right or wrong.
Is usual to hear people associating common behaviors from a cultural background to how they expect an individual to act and react to certain situations. So I was really curious to see the results of the self-assessment comparing me to my cultural profile. I was born in Venezuela, and I lived there for most of my life, for that reason I wasn’t really surprised when my answers were almost the same to my cultural norm. The dimensions that I’m most similar to are in leading, trusting, disagreeing, evaluating, and persuading. In “leading”, the scale measures between egalitarian and hierarchical, and my cultural norm and individual answer is more hierarchical than egalitarian. Also, in “trusting” Venezuelans (including me) are definitely a relationship based society, where trust is built by affective connection, for example is very common that most of the business partnerships in Venezuela are made between friends and family rather than with individuals with
“You’re pretty for someone who has dark skin.” I stood there in the middle of my 10th grade English class, stunned. Trying to fathom whether or not to accept it or acknowledge it was a backhanded compliment. I sat there thinking to myself did this other student who shares the same color skin as me, just feel the need to associate my beauty despite my color? This was just one of many times in my life I had encountered phrases like that, but that day in my English class, I realized society had created a social norm that just wasn't going to sit right with me.
Sometimes there are books that are so hyped up that you just wonder if they're really all that good. Sometimes you find yourself disappointed, the only person out of your bookish friends who dislikes said book. Other times, you find yourself amidst the endless number of fangirls and fanboys, and you join them in shouting praises of the book off the nearest rooftop. For me, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda was the latter.
Over the past week, I went into an elevator and stood with my back to the doors as I face everybody. I had the perfect opportunity to test this out when my cousin was in the hospital having her baby. Before completing this task, I felt nervous and shy to violate this social norm. During this task, I felt very uncomfortable and embarrassed, like I was doing something wrong. But after, I thought it was so funny that I was so nervous. I got many different reactions while completing this task. I received many blank stares, confused looks, and many looked like they were going to burst out into laughter. And some people didn’t even make eye contact with me and to say the least, it was an awkward situation. After this experiment was over, I explained
Until six months ago, I was not a feminist. Yet I wasn’t exactly not one either. If asked, I’d probably say sure--I guess. (What’s the alternative, a bigot?). Mostly, though, I was indifferent. My political preoccupation was economics, and social issues seemed distant in importance.
A famous actor once stated “But I learned that there’s a certain character that can be built from embarrassing yourself endlessly. If you can sit happy with embarrassment, there's not much else that can really get to ya.” However, I did not quite agree with the man when I was embarrassed directly in front of my friends and adults. That day I will never forget, I had made the biggest fool out of myself, and I had just given proof to the stories about women being terrible drivers.
This summer I had the privilege of being accepted to attend an eleven day, women-only, leadership conference taking place in Boston, MA. Women from all around the world gathered to collect knowledge from presentations and lectures hosted in the halls of Harvard and various other prestigious colleges and universities near Boston, eloquently delivered from the likes of Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy III and Councilor Ayanna Pressley. At the end of the conference, each person presents their ‘action plan’ explaining how they are going to make a difference.
In other words, a relationship in which you feel put down, afraid of or hurt by your partner.
When I went for the interview the girls over there were really friendly and welcoming. A past co-worker of mine from a previous job was working at my current job and she told mw about it. The place that I was the doctor was a mess, awesome doctor but awful as a boss and he had no benefits what so ever. In this new place that I am now they have a 401k plan, insurance, 80 hours of paid vacation after 90 days of employment, aflac and a health savings account. When they offered me the job and told me all those benefits that I did not had before and their salary is more competitve I couldn't say
For me there is no one setting in which I am surrounded by people whose beliefs differ from mine. As an intersectional feminist I believe that all women should be able to live and walk through the world unaffected by prejudice, or fear of being attacked the same way that men do. This includes women of color, lesbian and transgender women. I am the gay son of two Mexican born parents so I think that I have faced my share of bias. Consequently, to me, this thing about women is simple. Easy to understand and agree with. However, in a very short amount of time I have come to find that there is no shortage of people all around me that disagree with these simple facts. In my experience, school contains the biggest supply of such people. No big deal, only the place that I stay in for eight hours a day to learn and work in.
Coming from being raised a household full of women and most of my extended family being female as well. I noticed I have a bit of issue with connecting with boys. I am good with girls and with children who share my introvert temperament, however, these energetic boys really either do not like me or don't like approached to them by just talking. I am used to talking to connect with others, but I know I need to do different strategies with these boys. So any suggestions will be
I saw it on this feminist page and it was something like don’t be that girl that pressures guys because erections aren’t consent and it’s rape… I don’t even know why that made me think of you but I think the whole message came more from my head than anything. I just haven’t been doing too well lately, it’s more accurate to say I’m not in a good place at all actually. I have a great social life and the lowest grade I have in my five classes is an 80% so I don’t understand why I hurt so much, but I’ve been finding it harder and harder to keep going. What always held me back before was my family but home is so bad right now that I might just be doing them a favor. So right now it’s knowing my cat depends on me and the fear of the afterlife that
