I didn't know when I was younger that I was going to feel like I would have to be telling off some people because it's like the patriarchy trained them to be prejudiced against so many women that it even includes their own mothers because talking about patriarchal society's abuse of women and what happened to women in their family was so verboten and they were trained to be very deceptive and dishonest about these things.

Noticing captions on photos in the '50s.
"Anne Frank: Photos of Her Childhood Friends as Adults in 1959"

For some reason, Hannah is still Hannah. But she got married, and changed her last name too. Both Hannahs did.
Barbara is Mrs. Martin Rodbell.
Maybe she liked that new identity.
84 years ago, writing about saving clothes to be worn after the war.
"Father and I are currently working on our family tree, and he tells me something about each person as we go along. I've begun my schoolwork. I'm working hard at French, cramming five irregular verbs into my head every day. But I've forgotten much too much of what I learned in school.
Peter has taken up his English with great reluctance. A few schoolbooks have just arrived, and I brought a large supply of notebooks, pencils, erasers and labels from home. Pim (that's our pet name for Father) wants me to help him with his Dutch lessons. I'm perfectly willing to tutor him in exchange for his assistance with French and other subjects. But he makes the most unbelievable mistakes!
I sometimes listen to the Dutch broadcasts from London. Prince Bernhard recently announced that Princess Juliana is expecting a baby in January, which I think is wonderful. No one here understands why I take such an interest in the Royal Family.
A few nights ago I was the topic of discussion, and we all decided I was an ignoramus. As a result, I threw myself into my schoolwork the next day, since I have little desire to still be a freshman when I'm fourteen or fifteen. The fact that I'm hardly allowed to read anything was also discussed. At the moment, Mother's reading Gentlemen, Wives and Servants, and of course I'm not allowed to read it (though Margot is!). First I have to be more intellectually developed, like my genius of a sister. Then we discussed my ignorance of philosophy, psychology and physiology (I immediately looked up these big words in the dictionary!). It's true, I don't know anything about these subjects. But maybe I'll be smarter next year!
I've come to the shocking conclusion that I have only one long-sleeved dress and three cardigans to wear in the winter. Father's given me permission to knit a white wool sweater; the yarn isn't very pretty, but it'll be warm, and that's what counts. Some of our clothing was left with friends, but unfortunately we won't be able to get to it until after the war. Provided it's still there, of course."

I think that if you can survive some things...
What you learn from human carelessness and cruelty can become useful and help society more in the long run. You have to make lemons out of lemonade, as they say.

This is going to help me get some chores accomplished. Oh my God, you're so right.

Small rant after a truly delicious, healthy meal.
I think I really love Rubio's rainbow bowl with mahi-mahi and now I think I should get the one with lobster before the month ends. I feel good! I decided I want to read her memoir after reading this article.
"Why Ina Garten Won’t Allow a Movie on Her Memoir"

I looked at the local county library. They have one copy? One single copy? For the entire county-wide system? Who is buying these books? Anyways, I signed up to read the one copy they have.
That's in the category of some sort of meteorological phenomenon surely.
Top of the hill:
Hail pelts the car, you can barely see where you're going, and you're praying to get home safely while you're driving.
Four miles later, at bottom of the hill:
Sunny, calm, dry and no rain, fog or hail.
This is living at the base of a mountain.
We didn't even get rain here, but it's a very different story just a 10 minute drive away...

Well, it's been been pointed out to me that men do get mental disorders named specially for them when they get abused by the game of football.
"This is your reminder that psychiatry has spent over 100 years inventing mental disorders for abused women but has never once invented one for rapists or abusers."

And these attitudes have been normalized for years!
Kind of also reminds me of why no rich men get in trouble for the Epstein Files.

Who in the Patriarchal Culture needs to gets thinner so a bunch of Untrustworthy Fraternity Brothers will think you look more attractive and promote you up in their system faster???

Oh good, this came to me, too.
What if it's true that certain things triggered you in order to activate a life purpose? But now you would like to continue pursuing the life purpose in perhaps a more refined and less destructive way, and not continue to be triggered. Even though, you could be grateful that the triggers activated you in the past, but now in the future you want to no longer be so triggered, but you still want to continue fulfilling some of your end of bargain or whatever when it comes to your life purpose that was activated by the triggered states.
Just kidding. Another rambling thought is on its way.
What if it's true that there is such a thing as twin souls? And what if it's true? That if there's such a thing that they will simultaneously trigger the best and worst in each with one exception? And that is, what if they have a particular mission to carry out in one lifetime and then if they have a particular mission, maybe in that lifetime things are different, because of that particular mission. But then maybe in future lifetimes the mission is different, and so then they're back to triggering both the best and worst,and so that's why with twin souls if you still have stuff to figure out sometimes they're the ones that bring it up in you. But at the same time they could bring out the best too. That was fun.
I had to wake up and think a thought, and now I'm hopefully going back to sleep.

They have to want to get better at it, too.

Strange times, I suppose.
This reminded me of the famous diarist, and I don't know why, but it just did. Was it the train...
"As a result, mutuality is often replaced by manipulation, pressure, rigid gender roles, and a sense of obligation."

Raise the vibrations!
This is actually progress and higher vibrations, because what used to happen more was that everybody used to cast out the victims and make excuses for the violent men, because that's what made them feel more accepted in their little patriarchal enclaves.
