Not everybody holds a cat in the same way. But that doesn’t make one right and the other wrong. They’re simply the same but different.
Diversity provides options and options helped man evolve. We are sapiens thanks to diversity.

Ladies, we need to learn how to properly defend ourselves and not just physically. The patriarchs are out of control. Women must become better aware of how these wannabe machos are trying to obliterate female autonomy.
Are these men really that insecure that they feel elevated by mistreating women? Do they really believe that a higher level of testosterone will make them a better person?
What’s incredible is that the manosphere complains that they’ve been deprived of their rights because of feminism. Well, what do they think initiated the feminist movement?
Feminism doesn’t exist because women hate men but because women are against what the patriarchal society has done to keep them from sharing the same rights as a man. So, what are the rights men claim they’ve be deprived of because of women? The right to rape?
It is the role of privilege that men have in a patriarchal society that gives them the idea they have the right to impose themselves not only on women, but on children as well.
Children need to be protected. Pedophilia is a mental health problem that ruins lives. As there’s apparently an epidemic of pedophilic disorders, to protect our children we must affront the problem seriously. More emphasis needs to be placed on understanding the cause of this disorder and how to treat it. Statics show that abused children often grow up to become abusers themselves.
So, hey, Wannabe Studmuffins, remember that the more you whine, the more you prove just what spineless little wimps you really are.

Philomena sat on her sofa and wondered: is a name a destiny? She’d been named after a figure from Greek mythology. The Greek Philomena had been raped by Tereus, her brother-in-law. To keep Philomena from telling anyone of his crime, Tereus cut out her tongue. But Philomena had no intention of keeping quiet. She wove a tapestry telling of the abuse and sent it to her sister, Procne. Procne was so angry that she killed the son she’d had with Tereus. Tereus, in response, ran after the two sisters with an ax. As Philomena and Procne were running, they prayed to the gods to turn them into birds so that they could fly away. One sister became a silent swallow and the other a singing nightingale.
Now Philomena, the actual Philomena, had an unpleasant thought. The ancients believed that the soul eventually turned into a bird. Her bird had fled taking someone’s soul with it. But she didn’t know whose. She could only hope that it wasn’t her own.

Arabella was not a pleasant child. She enjoyed saying rude and vicious things to the family’s pet bird, Jack. But Jack was not a pacifist. He believed in fighting back. So, with the help of some cats, Jack got out of his cage. He waited behind the curtains until he saw Arabella outside then flew straight onto her head where he started chirping to his friends that he had a new roost. Soon his friends chirped back that they were on the way.
Things for Arabella were about to change.
Many men find strong women intimidating. Why? Because men living in a patriarchal society have grown up as the privileged gender. If men feel intimidated by women, it’s simply because they’re insecure about their own masculinity. That’s why men don’t want their attempts to dominate to be questioned. Unable to deal with the confrontation, they often become violent. How many women have been murdered by a man who once told them “I love you”?
Fannie Lou Hamer (1917-1977) was an activist and community organizer. She fought for women’s rights as well as for the rights of Blacks to vote. Born in Mississippi, Fannie gave flavor to her political speeches with quotes from the Bible just to let everyone know that God was on her side.
Fannie did her best to help Black American citizens register to vote. For this, she was harassed and her life threatened. And, after she herself attempted to vote, Fannie was fired from her job and shot at by racists. But she survived.
In 1963, Fannie was with a group of Blacks returning to Mississippi after participating in a South Carolina voter registration workshop. They stopped at a café but were refused service. The police came and arrested the rejected customers. Once in jail, they were beaten with clubs. Fannie was also groped and her dress pulled up to expose her body. Men in the room sneered and rejoiced in trying to humiliate her.
Fannie never fully recovered from the beating but she still insisted on organizing even more voter registration drives. She would not let herself be intimidated. But the stress finally caught up with her. In 1977, Fannie died of hypertension and breast cancer. She was only 59 years old.
