Thank you to all.

Even though this subject isn’t funny I do get a chuckle recalling my dearly departed mom’s reaction whenever as kids myself or my brother’s were upset over some petty thing or another.

She’d always say, “In everyone’s life a little rain must fall, if that’s the worst thing that happens to you then you’ve lived a charmed life.”

Rescuing us from our feelings with drugs or participation trophy’s was off the table.

Your mother retained common sense.

If I can generalize for a moment, it appears that women are very easily brainwashed, falling easily into groupthink

There are no doubt differences between sexes that I think we should celebrate and not demonize.

Evildoers want us to imagine there’s no difference. Funny, these same people say we should respect nature.

Hmm? I watched cardinals build a nest outside our window. It was clear mom and dad had roles. Mom nurtured while dad guarded the nest. Viciously at times.

It’s clear the natural world defines roles. Which, if we expect life to continue makes perfect sense.

Men and women can fall victim to The Hegelian dialectic. They just do it differently.
