the whole concept linking being open-minded, liberal, and free-spirited with being sexually available to men and having no sexual boundaries is an absolute tragedy. almost every woman i know has been traumatized or harmed by this ideology in some way, and it is being pushed on girls at increasingly younger ages
i would also like to point out that the idea that it’s cooler to not be emotionally attached in sexual encounters, not have expectations, etc. and be casual about sex and love is also harmful to women and puts the onus on them to change themselves, to criticize themselves for being loving and feeling things deeply, rather than for men to stop being sex-obsessed and devoid of human emotion
You don’t have to keep your heart hostage because someone didn’t reply back or take initiative or decided to invest elsewhere. You really can just leave if you feel (especially if it’s been consistently proved) that they don’t value you. You are not bound to anyone. It doesn’t matter how deep the connection, you are not dependent on anyone else to be thankful for your life. You need to realize that this year. Don’t be afraid for them, be afraid that you may allow yourself to stay like this forever. You know you don’t deserve that. You know how loving and kind and funny and good you are. You deserve someone who knows that without a second glance and who works to consistently protect your value.
Good people aren’t wealthy.
Let me make this clear here. It’s actually impossible to hoard millions in personal fortune and also live an ethical life.
Some people are taking this as a personal attack against their families, who make something in the six figure range. This post is not about you. In full scale, families like that are not what I’d consider to be “wealthy”.
I’m talking about the multi-millionaire/billionaire CEOs, politicians, and media moguls. This isn’t about your uncle who’s a surgeon and saves people’s lives. Please don’t misinterpret that. They’re not nearly on the same scale of “wealthy”.
But if your uncle is the head of a multinational corporation that utilizes cheap overseas labour and exploits third world countries, fuck that guy actually.
