This stuff is just going to look so obvious in the future. Especially after a whole generation of children experiences this era and then grows up.

A bunch of people are just too self-absorbed and perhaps racist to care about what's happening to certain types of children right now, and it's not just the rich white people who are acting that way.

I gotta get some sleep.

"Why can you not just admit that you f***** up and you know you've treated women badly because you had a role model in front of you who also treated women badly and you were trained by this patriarchal to society to treat women badly, but now you know better, and you'll do better in the future? That would be very manly in a positive sense."

When sensitive people see a lot of harm being inflicted on others, it really does affect them.

It's a shame that so many people in an imbalanced Patriarchal Society are trained to bully others just to feel better about themselves because of the nature of our violent and unwell patriarchal society.

I have been disappointed with the way some people who used to seem better have been choosing to act, but maybe it's more useful to see it as they just simply feel the need to defend their way of life.

When you're given certain circumstances to deal with which make it clear to you that you don't fit in so well with patriarchal society, it makes it harder to feel comfortable with going along with people who do fit in better with patriarchal society. Because those things that are working for them are not working out so great for others, and it feels like not the right thing to do, to just go along with it.

Sometimes I feel like I am lucky that I live with someone don't feel particularly motivated to perform for others.

So, it's okay that some people are not as good at pleasing crowds of people. He doesn't turn on the charm and he doesn't act super romantic, but he's an honest person and he does not have any wish to control and manipulate others and he's not a bully. Now there may be times when he's stubborn and doesn't want to hear about certain things because maybe the truth is inconvenient, but still, I think he's overall a lot more trustworthy and better than the kind of men that this aid worker is afraid of meeting, and probably with very good reason, as this flimsy and unstable Patriarchal Society collapses.

I guess it's been an opportunity to observe human behavior.

People don't necessarily have an easy time feeling very much empathy or compassion for others when they're very busy defending their own way of life and their survival mechanisms and their belief systems.

Be a better version of yourself tomorrow.

It might feel good.

The truth can be stark sometimes.

Bullying still happens on Earth because some people get really pleased at how they feel when they're bullying others. Certain patterns of misogynistic bullying have been programmed into people's brains at very formative and vulnerable ages and some people reach for that programming when things start to get uneasy, and it feels more reassuring to them to continue to rely on those programs.

Where would the patriarchal society be without patriarchal families to hold up the patriarchal beliefs???

Expecting people to be better, and then seeing that they're not going to be better, is just like repeating the same abusive patterns that were programmed into patriarchal family systems. Children are forced to go along with this stuff as kids, and then they have to choose whether they want to keep on repeating those patriarchal patterns as adults, or not. If you got more rewards from the patriarchy for your role in the system, you're probably less likely to want to change. Some people might want change, but a lot of people are probably still not going to want to change when being as comfortable as possible with the way things are is the priority.

I think it's reminding me of when my grandmother told me to run away from a nest of stinging bees. "Run, girl, run!"

I don't know what it is about the current circumstances circulating that make some people feel like tuning into a more extreme side of themselves which make them seem like narcissistic nightmares.

Human beings of all ages and genders and genetic backgrounds deserve far more humane treatment than the Patriarchal Ones are delivering.

Human beings deserve better than this.

If bullying and shutting down others is the best coping strategy some people can seem to come up with right now, maybe there will be other ones that seem better and more appealing to them on some other days in the future.

Maybe look for the kinds of people your body believes are the helpers?

It seems so illogical.

Every year people sadly commemorate the tragedy when a bunch of kids got killed in a helicopter crash. No, I'm sorry they don't do that every year. People sadly commemorate the time when their favorite girl dad who raped a 19-year-old hotel worker, but he was the top performer in his chosen field, and he was the best of the best at that, but he just wasn't good at not raping 19-year-old girls, and celebrity culture can be so insidious that he can command a helicopter to fly when it shouldn't be flying in bad weather, and put a bunch of children on it, and they got killed in the helicopter crash, too, but anyway...

It's kind of harsh, but it's also true.

It's very, very messed up, but not all brains are equally designed to go along with whatever the dominant culture is doing just to milk it for all it's worth.

Mistake, or not really?

Trauma! How inconvenient can it be to experience in a Patriarchal Society that has been constructed like this one?

So, not only does it feel inconvenient that the Patriarchal Culture raises people to act like hating certain kinds of girls and women is what feels completely normal to them, but also, it's the particularly traumatized types of girls and women that some of you guys, sorry, I mean, those Patriarchal People, act like you, oops, I mean they, hate the most, that makes it such an enervating experience to process sometimes.

How much progress have we actually made as a society?

I guess the fact that people usually aren't as openly racist and misogynistic as the characters are in a book that was set in a very prejudiced little southern town in the 1940s shows we've made some progress.

Such a different story from Anne Frank's, huh?

I wonder how much the guy Bette Greene saved in real life resembled the character in her novel. And she is gone now, so the time to ask her questions as a human being by having a face-to-face conversation has passed.

I wish more parents had not been convinced by the Patriarchal Culture to go along with misogynistic practices.

I'm glad that the mom I met in the laundry room with a 4-month-old daughter seemed very nice, because in addition to her new daughter, she also has a son who is several years older, and who needs another older brother being trained by his parents that boys should act superior and that trying to fit in with a cult of misogynistic abusive behavior patterns is just a completely normal way to exist in this world, right?

Just imagine if we had all grown up in a different culture that wasn't so intent on convincing people to be insensitive and good at normalizing misogyny...

You were not programmed by Patriarchal Culture of White Supremacy to care about the well-being of girls and women.

If you truly believe you care about girls and women, find more people who actually act like they care about the well-being of girls and women to hang out with.
