Thank you for your post Kristina, it was very interesting to read. I have spent the last 5 yrs living rather reclusively and going through the menopause experience. I must say I am no fan of the current ideology stalking the globe. I think it serves no-one and instead causes huge societal division.
When I was much younger I called myself a feminist and at the instruction of the “societal engineers” foolishly believed the mantras about the malignancies of our male counterparts. The Universe has treated me to the life lesson about what males are really all about. I had the joy of giving birth to 4 very different little boys and 1 determined girl. They have all taught me so much.
Now on the other side of my reproductive life I have a completely different view of the “Masculine & Feminine” energies. I think that many of the modern misunderstandings between women and men, may have have their genesis in the Victorian passion for the classification and commodification of everything. I see it in the sense of an obsession for the “scientific method”.
Unfortunately as is with many endeavors of our species ,we tend to take things beyond where they should have gone. Not to mention when something creates a perceived “benefit” for one demographic over another, the one with the benefit it reticent to relinquish said “benefit”. This should be food for thought. We should ALL be looking for what unites us as opposed to the smaller things that don’t.
Beyond that I would like to see an end to the current rubbish about “personal pronouns” and the fear around causing “offense”. Dam it, humans are lets face it, periodically offensive and that is okay. We need to have sufficient abrasion applied as we grow-up, in order to gain the quality of resilience in order to become the BEST us we can. As a parent I had to learn that preventing this process for my children was a really bad idea. The problem is you only see the fruits of your actions AFTER the horse has bolted as it were and then it’s too late. The DAMAGE is done and is hard to undo. Kids will try all sorts of things on for size as they grow but most things come out in the wash and they end up right where they should be. Teach them to always put their best foot forward, to care and be able to put themselves in others shoes and they will be fine. Don’t sweat the small things.
