Did Women Really Want "Equality"?

 

Died Suddenly Part 2

Here are a couple of articles for you to ponder:

Steroid use a public health crisis:

The risks associated with taking anabolic steroids are extensive and well-documented, ranging from infertility and erectile dysfunction to addiction and baldness, according to the NHS website.

But despite these stark warnings, there are still more than one million, predominantly male, steroid users in the UK, according to the UK Anti-Doping agency (UKAD).

 Well-known side effects of steroids:

• Gynaecomastia (man-boobs)
• Genitourinary (shrinking of testicles)
• Erectile dysfunction
• Infertility
• Heart attacks
• Strokes
• Blood-borne virus risk (e.g. HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C) as a result of injecting
• Addiction
• Depression
• Aggression and violence (commonly called 'roid rage')

Well, well, well, what do we see here? Who would have thunk it???

From mayo clinic:

 Andro can damage the heart and blood vessels in anyone who takes it. This raises the risk of a serious problem that can happen when the heart doesn't get enough blood, called a heart attack. It also raises the risk of a condition that keeps the brain from getting enough oxygen, called a stroke. Heart attack and stroke can be deadly...

Side effects linked to human growth hormone may include:

• A heart that grows bigger than usual, called cardiomegaly.
• High blood pressure.

Doping with erythropoietin may raise the risk of serious health problems. These include stroke, heart attack and blocked arteries in the lung...

 Diuretics can lead to death if an athlete uses them for doping.

Energy drinks are popular among many athletes. They often have high doses of caffeine and other stimulants. The street drugs cocaine and methamphetamine also are stimulants...

Other side effects include:

• Stroke.
• Heart attack or other problems with blood flow.

Other things that many of these men use are a female fertility drug called Clomid and anti-breast cancer drug Tamoxifen. 

Side effects of Clomid: 

 In males, similar to other substances with anabolic properties that lead to increased muscle mass, clomiphene is associated with a number of potential and serious side effects, including: increased risk of negative cardiovascular events, liver damage, and gastrointestinal discomfort. It’s important to note again, however, that the health risks and potential side effects in men have yet to be determined through long-term studies. In addition, testicular tumors and gynecomastia have been reported in males using clomiphene.

 Tamoxifen:

 Tamoxifen can increase your risk of stroke or blood clots.

 Tamoxifen is a chemo drug, for Pete's sake. Why would any healthy man want to subject himself to all this??? Well, as I read in one of the chats, they hope it will help them "score with women". Apparently, the quality of sl8ts females they can pick up will somehow potentially improve and that is worth the risk of stroke, heart attack, blindness and permanent infertility. And they say, women are vain creatures...

To sum it up, if you want to reduce your chance of "dying suddenly" it appears like a good idea not to take (illegal) drugs, to quit smoking and stop binging on alcohol. 

P.S. We are talking young healthy people over here. Obviously, the older you are, the higher the risk of dying by any reason...

Alcoholism Will Kill You

 Even when you are Alexander the Great (just finished reading a book about him):

The conclusion Gerasimidis has reached after decades of research is that Alexander the Great died of acute pancreatic necrosis. This condition is believed to have been caused by cholelithiasis, or gallstones, in combination with a heavy meal and a large quantity of wine.

I was kinda taught he died of typhoid fever, but now they are saying otherwise. Keep in mind that this guy survived pneumothorax caused by a spear (or maybe an arrow, I forget which) through his lung a couple of years before, without modern medicine. He also survived many other injuries, acute pneumonia, years of heavy fighting etc only to die at 32 from too much alcohol and fat in his diet.

Many of these "died suddenly" cases conspiracy theorists love to talk about are explained very simply by drugs or alcohol or the combination of the two.

Be A Real Woman!

 Ziezo, I just invented a new slogan:

"Be a real woman, clean your house!"

Following this guy Peterson who told men to clean their room. 

Lol

Where Are All Real Women?

 Recently I read a discussion on UTube where women were complaining that men don't want to protect them any more. They were discussing a case when a young woman was being robbed of her iPhone by an armed minority criminal and no man jumped to her help. Men quite sensibly pointed out what happened to Daniel Penny and also that women are strong and independent nowadays and were quite predictably accused of "not being real men".

A real man, said one of the females in the chat, is this strong courageous masculine guy who defends women and children, even at the cost of his own life, and they have all but disappeared nowadays. When somebody asked her about real women, she got very upset and said some gibberish about ''real women being true to themselves", i.e. a narcissist, as someone correctly pointed out. 

They all want men who do something for them without any reciprocation apparently.

My sympathy fully lies with men about this issue. Why should they risk death or prison for an I-phone of some stranger female with an entitlement attitude (she actually tried to shame some poor guy into helping her). May be the lack of "real men" is caused by the lack of real women? 

You know, women who look and behave feminine, can cook and clean, have a maternal instinct, are chaste and not covered with tattoos from head to toes? And stay faithful to their husbands/don't divorce on a whim? 

The reason those internet scolds can't find a real man is because all these real men are out there hanging with real women, getting married to them and having kids with them. They aren't at all attracted to someone who calls them "incels" who "can't get laid". Shaming language simply doesn't work in A.D. 2024. Chivalry is officially dead and women have only themselves to blame.

I'm Back!

Do You Need To Go To A Doctor

 I have just been wondering. Outside of medical emergencies, complicated childbirth, pneumonia and things like cancer, stroke and heart attack, do you really need the medical establishment. Granted, there are many health conditions which need attention, sometimes urgent, such as high blood pressure. However, many of these conditions can be treated at home with diet and exercise and may be things like acupressure and such. 

There is lots of information online about these things. People nowadays complain that doctors don't give them nutrition advice, but in my experience, it's not really true. Doctors constantly urge their patients to lose weight, to exercise, to eat properly but many people have really zero self-control and will rather take pills and continue to stuff themselves with fast food and, in general, be unhealthy slobs. 

I'd like to post a disclaimer that this above is purely rhetorical. When in doubt, ask your doctor. I'm not one and give no  medical advice. However, taking charge of your own health can be truly empowering, especially when you realise that you can be more in control of your general well-being than you thought.

Should Men Still Seek Marriage

Or rather should they be afraid of divorce? VD thinks they shouldn't:

Other than its generally unpleasant nature, the waste of time and money it entails, and the inevitably deleterious effect on the children, divorce really isn’t anything for the average man to fear. So, if you’re a young man who is afraid of marriage due to the perceived dangers of divorce, be aware that you risk missing out on one of the greatest and most important experiences of your life because you’re jumping at shadows.

One Dress 20 Outfits

 It's hot over here. Like really hot. And it's nearly vacation, so no effort posting. I thought this was interesting. What do you think?

Archbishop Vigano

 Probably only of interest for Catholics:

 The archbishop posted the two-page decree from the Vatican’s Dicastry for the Doctrine of Faith ordering him to appear for extrajudicial trial, citing as evidence “public statements that show a denial of the necessary elements to maintain communion with the Catholic Church.”

He became famous because of Cardinal McCarrick affair.

Real Life Summer Outfits

 I'm sorry it took me so long, but the weather has mostly been rainy and cold, so that I didn't get a chance to wear a lot of summery clothes, if you know what I mean. 

I also don't have really glamorous locations to show you. It's my living room, camping and public restrooms chiefly. Sorry about that, too;)

This skirt is new, I bought it back in April at the market.  Below is a lunchroom in Germany.

And this was at the camping.

This dress is a couple of years old. I guess you can wear it without a t-shirt, but somehow I never did. 

Bought this denim skirt online last year. It's rather warm, so I've been wearing it a lot.

 

A more dress-up variant of the same

The one above is all season dress with half-long sleeves, bought it several years ago online. The picture was taken in the restroom of the gas station on the way to camping. Public restrooms are really ideal for taking selfies because they usually have these huge mirrors. At least those for women do, lol.

The last skirt is the one I chiefly wear at home when cleaning because it's shorter and more convenient. However, wearing longer skirts outsides mean I don't have to use sunscreen on my legs so I'm quite happy they are in fashion right now. 

Going To College

Funny.

Happy Belated Father's Day!

 Sorry I didn't congratulate you yesterday but we were away the whole day:)

Is Your Mouthwash Killing You?

 I have been a victim of it myself. After I stopped using it, I started feeling better. Check fluoride toothpaste and everything containing sage/peppermint, too. Don't take my word for it, I'm not a health professional:

Cost Of Fresh Breath

Research using the San Juan Overweight Adults Longitudinal Study (SOALS) has proven that prolonged use of mouthwash more than twice a day for over a year increases the risk of developing hypertension by 85 per cent as compared to those using mouthwash less frequently. These people also have twice the risk of hypertension than those who never used mouthwash. The study also suggests that people often use over-the-counter mouthwash with fluoride and anti-bacterial agents longer than prescription mouthwash with chlorohexidine.

Study in case

Non-Binary Empire Strikes Back

 The sad thing is that an average modern Western "consoomer" will not only watch it, but let his children watch, too:

In another recent Disney produced Star Wars animated show Tales of the Empire, one of the episodes featured a non-binary Jedi, for no good reason.

It would be really cool if more people in the West could read instead of staring into the screen all the time, don't you think so? Not that modern books are so much better, but you still can find some decent literature...

Do You Even Need A Doctor?

 I mean you could probably get more information if you just googled the symptoms:)

The first NHS AI-run physiotherapy clinic is to be rolled out this year in an effort to cut waiting times amid growing demand and staff shortages.

The new platform will provide same-day automated video appointments with a digital physiotherapist via an app that responds to information provided by a patient in real time...

An initial video assessment with an AI physiotherapist was performed to evaluate their symptoms. Once approved for treatment, patients had weekly video appointments. The digital physiotherapist prescribed exercises and pain management techniques, monitored symptoms and adjusted patients’ treatments.

More than four in five participants reported that their symptoms had improved during treatment with the platform.

I remember a British lady in Corona times telling online how she  delivered her baby at home with a phone midwife. That is, she was told on the phone what to do, she followed the instructions and had her baby. I should add that home births are quite normal in UK and it wasn't her 1st child, and I think she was visited later to check if everything was fine, but still.

Medical care is another heavily feminised branch which soon will be gutted by the onset of AI, it appears.

The New Beauty Standard???

 People in the comments were saying it's some obscure contest, but still. WT*?

An obese woman has won Miss Alabama, with the organizers of the contest insisting that the intention of the beauty pageant was to “foster a positive self-image.”

Alex Jones Loses Infowars

 Thoughts?

On Thursday Jones, 50, asked a judge to covert his bankruptcy into a Chapter 7 liquidation after a legal back-and-forth that he engaged in to try and avoid paying the billions of dollars a court has ordered him to pay the families for defamation.

Sounds a bit excessive, not?

White Men Love Their Liberalism

 Exhibit 1:

United Methodism’s largest overseas jurisdiction has voted to quit the denomination in response to the church’s divorcing sex from marriage at its governing General Conference earlier this month.

American “progressive Christians” are pushing their Western sexual values on African churches and have alienated an entire continent of Christians.

1.2 million in a single day, gone. 10% of the church, gone. Just like that.

 Here is a real life example (details changed for privacy reason) Suppose there are 2 churches. Both quite similar in teaching and worship style. With one difference. One has a female preacher, the other  allows only men to teach. One is nearly all White, the other is half White half POC. Guess which is which? 

There is some rot in my race, which can't be explained entirely by the influence of YKW, MSM or aliens.

White men, and especially North European White men,  are perfectly fine with being dominated by women in church and government, because they are already dominated by their wives at home and they love it. Or, at least, they don't mind. White men who object mostly try to find a wife from Asia or, at least, Eastern Europe. I don't think men of any other ethnicity find it normal or desirable. Heck, even Southern European Catholic men are often more dominant. 

There is tremendous power in just saying, ''no''. If Northern Euro men and their overseas counterparts won't start doing it en masse, we soon will be bred out of existence.

Women are never happy, btw. I've been reading some online discussions. Eastern European women will say: "our men are all pigs, they should be feminist, like Western European men". While Western European women say: "our men are all pigs, they should be more feminist, just like the American men." But American women will say that all American men are pigs, too. There is apparently 1 country on Earth where women are content and don't complain, Afghanistan. Somewhere, there is a lesson in it all...

Donald Trump

 So Trump was found guilty on all charges. What now?

Bird Rescue

 My husband insisted I'd write about it so here it is:)

Last time we went to the camping, he installed the tent again. It's actually a construction that rests on 4 poles which are hollow inside and it has a canvas roof we take off in the winter. In summer we put it on, which he did. Next morning, we went outside and heard strange noise and flapping, so we first thought there was a bird who accidentally got locked in our shed. However, we found out there was a bird inside one of the poles! 

The poor thing apparently decided to spend the night under the roof and somehow fell down the pole. We tried to lower a cord with a piece of wood down through the opening in the hope that he would be able to hop out using it, but it didn't work. My husband then tried to lift the pole but there was no opening on the other side! We were quite at a loss what to do, but he then figured out that the pole had a detachable foot and went to search for a screwdriver. 2 screws came off easily and the 3d wouldn't, it looked like it was broken or something. 

Then he finally managed to turn it somehow, lifted the pole just a tiny little bit and the little birdie flew away in a hurry! DH now expects applause and admiration for being such a hero and rescuing the poor fellow;)

Alcohol Won't Make You Healthier

 New research appears to support my recent claims: no amount of alcohol is actually good for you. If you know someone who consumes alcohol regularly and is healthy and fit, it's despite alcohol, not because of it:

Red wine actually isn’t good for your heart. Really.

For the past 30 years, health experts have touted red wine (in moderation) as a heart-healthy beverage. But a January 2022 policy brief from the World Heart Federation (WHF) aims to set the record straight. No type of alcohol — including wine — is a friend to your heart.

"Alcohol seems to have adverse effects on nearly every form of heart disease," says Dr. JoAnn Manson, the Michael and Lee Bell Professor of Women’s Health at Harvard Medical School. It increases the risk of

• hypertension
• heart failure
• stroke
• cardiomyopathy (a disease of the heart muscle)
• aortic aneurysm (a dangerous bulge in the wall of the aorta)
• atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm).

It may also play a role in coronary artery disease, says Dr. Manson. But the evidence for this is less clear.

Add to this different types of cancer, liver disease, stroke and kidney failure plus various accidents and ask yourself, whether it's worth it.

Are Tattos A Good Idea?

 An interesting discussion here.

Sorry for the lack of quality posting, but there are some things I had to sort out when I came home;) Next week better!

You Are Never Too Old

 to start something new:

Short Personal Note

 I'll be away for the weekend. Posting will resume next Tuesday. 

Have a blessed Pentecost Feast you all:)

Do Women Run After Horrible Men?

 Yes, they absolutely do.

Feminists like to decry domestic abuse and even have the cheek to accuse "the church"/"Christians" for facilitating it by promoting wifely submission and one income family where the wife is a dependent. Does abuse happen in the church? It sure does. But it happens outside the church as well, just as often. 

And, you know what? We don't practice arranged marriages in the West today. Fathers aren't allowed to sell their daughters as concubines like in OT or Roman Empire. All these abused women choose their own partners. Often they aren't even married to these men, but choose to stay with them, despite their parents' protests.

I'll give you a couple of examples from what I witnessed myself. 

Case 1.  A girl (18-19) was in love with a man and was stalking him continuously (yes, women do this, too). The guy tried to get rid of her many times and finally beat her up so badly that she ended up in hospital, but expressly asked all her friends to conceal it from her parents cause they would put the man in question in prison.

Case 2. A girl from a "good family" had a relationship with a guy who was a violent alcoholic, and repeatedly beat her up, despite her parents doing everything to separate them. Terminated several pregnancies as he refused to marry. In the end, she left him after another beating and after she got older and acquired some common sense. 

Case 3. a girl married a violent cheating alcoholic and stayed with him until he finally beat up herself and her Granny who tried to help her. Refused to go to police.

Case 4. A woman was married to a violent adulterous alcoholic all her life. Refused to leave him even though she worked full time and had an income of her own. Her only son took after the father, started substance abuse and died from an overdose, but she still wouldn't divorce her husband. In the end he tired of her and divorced her himself.

None of these women were practicing Christians, btw.

It happens much more often than you think. Victorians lied to you. Women, especially young women aren't "sugar and spice and everything nice". They aren't shrinking violets. They have a s8x drive, which is often quite strong, and they crave dominant, aggressive guys. Sometimes even violent guys. As they grow older they often mellow out and drop out of the relationship. If they had the misfortune to get married (nearly always against the will of their parents) they turn into those proverbial bitter divorcees who will tell you that "all men are pigs" forgetting that she chose that pig herself in the 1st place. Many women appear to have difficulty with accepting responsibility for their actions.

A very uncomfortable truth is that humans are turned on by blood and violence. Execution videos on YouTube get hundreds of thousand of clicks. And when executions still happened in public, they say that women sometimes were the majority of those who came to watch. In ancient Rome women, even those of the upper class lusted after gladiators and sometimes even left their high status husband for them. During WWII men would try to knock up a girl before leaving to fight, so that if they died, they'd leave a child behind. 

The close proximity of violent death appears to arouse both men and women. Conservatives often admit it in the case of men, but pretend that women are different. The truth is that both s8xes are tainted by sin, including s8xual desire.The good news is that we aren't slaves to our bodies and can teach our children to not react on their lowest impulses and to flee temptations. Mind should rule over flesh and not vice versa.

Viking Weekend

 Here are just a couple of photos:

Happy Mother's Day

 Happy Mother's Day, everyone!

I tried to post a video, but the Blogger would delete my previous video on Hobbits somehow, so I'll just congratulate you like this! 

 

Ascension/Long Weekend

 Yesterday was the Feast of the Ascension, which is an official holiday over here. My husband works for a new boss now and for the first time in his life, got a long weekend. The weather is great, warm and sunny, so we are enjoying ourselves. Today we went to a Viking festival. I'll post pics later. Have a nice weekend, you all:)

A New Fashion Trend I Like

Some Personal News

First, I'm sorry for the lack of effort posting lately, but I have been pretty busy this week.

Second, it's the King's Day today and the school vacations have begun, and we are going on vacation, too, for the next several days, so there will be no posts till next Sunday. Out of precaution, I'll turn the comments moderation on.

Have a good week everyone and God Bless:)

Housewives Are Important

 The True Calling Of Women:

Housewifery is service unto God.

Therefore let women study this lesson day and night that first of all they may play the housewives...

 Therefore let women have this mark to shoot at, and say, “well, although the world have no regard of me, yet must I find myself occupied here, for so God commandeth me.” And thus much touching the first, how women have to take occasion to be diligent—and moreover also they have to consider, that when they do their duty and execute their office, God accepteth well of it, although men despise it. And if men say, “What is this? A woman playeth the housewife, she spinneth on her distaff, and this is all that women can do.” As indeed there are a number of fools that when they speak of women’s distaffs, of seeing to their children, will make a scorn of it and despise it. But what then? What saith the heavenly Judge? That he is well pleased with it, and accepteth of it, and putteth it in his reckoning. So then let women learn to rejoice when they do their duty, and though the world despise it, let this comfort sweeten all respect they might have that way, and say, “God seeth me here, and his Angels, who are sufficient witnesses of my doings, although the world do not allow of them.”

Female Authority

 “Yet consider now, whether women are not quite past sense and reason, when they want to rule over men. In a word, it is madness. For, were men made for women? It is true that today men are as channels through which God causes His grace to stream down upon women. For, from whence does labor come? From where do all the most excellent things and highly esteemed things come? To be sure, it all comes from the men’s side. So God is well pleased for men to serve the good of women, as experience shows. Yet St. Paul has an eye here to the beginning of the creation, where it was said that it was not good for the man to be alone, and that he needed someone at hand who would always be ready to help. Since God was thinking of the man, it certainly follows that the woman is only an accessory. And why? Because she was only created for the sake of man, and she must therefore direct her whole life toward him. She must confess, “I am not supposed to be without direction here, not knowing my purpose and station. Rather, I am obliged by God, if I am married, to serve my husband, and render him honor and reverence. And, if I am not married, I am bound to walk in all soberness and modesty, cognizant that men have the higher rank, and that they must rule, and that the woman who disregards this forgets the law of nature and perverts what should be observed as God commands.” This then the place to which St. Paul brings back women.”

— John Calvin, Men, Women, and Order in the Church: Three Sermons by John Calvin (Dallas: Presbyterian Heritage, 1992)

What We Did Last Weekend

 

Marital S8x, Again

 It's spring around here:)

So I thought you'd like this article:

And here, any competent Bible student can see that the feministic stance on the sexual and emotional obligations of spouses is exactly the reverse of the case, if anything. The Bible, and the Christian tradition as a consequence, clearly holds that sex (and the fruit that ordinarily comes from it) is the primary, distinctive feature of marriage. Marriage is designed to be the place where sex happens. Marriage and sex are not the same thing, but the latter is a necessary condition and the primary reason for the former. Marriage is meant to channel the incredible power of human sexuality into a constructive force- biologically, psychologically, and socially. When the heat of sexuality is allowed to run outside of marriage, it is inevitably a destructive fire. And of course, having a marriage without sex, is like building a forge to do basket weaving. So it shouldn’t be controversial to say that by design sex should be happening in marriage. Which means spouses owe conjugal relations to each other. They are in fact entitled to sex with their mate.

For all the women out there who apparently hate the very idea of having s8xual relationship with their (prospective) husbands: why don't you go join the nunnery? Seriously though, depriving your spouse is a just cause for divorce. When we abolish no-fault divorce, it'll be one of the divorce grounds again. 

Hat tip to Will from Patriactionary

Incel Revolution Part 2

 Wow, that was quick:) The video got more than 10 000 comments in 2 days and now gone;) 

I wonder why...

P.S. And...it's back again!

Is An Incel Revolution Coming???

 This is quite interesting though long. still worth watching, imo:

If You Are Upset With Your Government

 Rejoice! At least, you are not living in Scotland:

 Under the new legislation, anyone deemed to have been verbally ‘abusive’, in person or online, to a transgender person, including “insulting” them could be hit with a prison sentence of up to seven years.

That instantly led to a flood of bad faith reports, including from conservatives making a mockery of the system and from deranged left-wing activists trying to punish their ideological adversaries.

David Threadgold, Chairman of the Scottish Police Federation, said that the new legislation was being exploited to pursue personal and political vendettas.

“Police Scotland have gone public and said that on every occasion, reports of hate crime will be investigated,” Mr. Threadgold told the BBC. “That creates a situation where we simply cannot cope at the moment.”

Western Values We Are Fighting For

 Prague hospital performs abortion on a wrong woman:

 Medics mistakenly terminated the fetus of an expectant mother who was four months pregnant on March 25.

Words fail me. They are offering her a compensation. As if you can compensate the mother for killing her child. You know I have many thoughts on this issue but can't really say anything because of LAWS. So you will just have to fill in the blanks yourself...

As long as it all happens in Minecraft, of course!

 

Excuses For Female Behaviour

 I've thought I heard it all but this is really mind-blowing. Apparently there are those among us, who blame Adam for Eve's sin, and even go so far as to say that his fault was not offering himself as sacrifice for her sin instead of Jesus Christ. That is, he should have declined the apple and then gone and offered himself up to wash away her sin (sounds a bit blasphemous to me, but OK) but since he hadn't done it, "we all died in Adam".

Now let's look what the Scriptures say. Did God punish Adam for his wife's sin or for his own, and what was the sin exactly:

17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;   18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;   19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Appears quite clear to me that Adam was punished a) for listening to his wife instead of God and b) for disobeying the clear command and eating the forbidden fruit.

Here is how Matthew Henry explains it:

We have here the sentence passed upon Adam, which is prefaced with a recital of his crime: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, v. 17. He excused the fault, by laying it on his wife: She gave it me. But God does not admit the excuse. She could but tempt him, she could not force him; though it was her fault to persuade him to eat, it was his fault to hearken to her.

If something, Adam was guilty of trying to blame his wife, the way Eve tried to blame the serpent, but she still was responsible for her own actions and punished for it accordingly. Adam wasn't punished for her actions, but for his own!

Do you need any other proof that conservatives are extreme pedestalisers? BTW, a guy who asked if Adam should have physically restrain his wife from eating the fruit was right away accused of having abusive tendencies. Here you have it, ladies and gentlemen, women are mentally on the level of toddlers and can't be held accountable for their actions but are apparently entitled to all the rights of adults and also special treatment because they are ladies (would a man trying to physically restrain another man from doing wrong be accused of abuse?)

Reasonable Clothes For Women

 Though much of what I'm going to say applies to men as well:)

I get a lot of topics to write about from YouTube videos and discussions. Recently YouTube by some reason pushed some episodes of a Nigerien (that is made in Niger) soap opera about life in a village. It is in some French dialect so I couldn't understand much at all, but I was impressed by the clothes the ladies wore. Now you should keep in mind that in Niger the majority of population are Moslem. However, women don't wear the traditional black stile garment we often associate with that faith, but rather something which I would describe as very reasonable, especially considering the climate.

They wore long colourful skirts with long leggins underneath and long sleeved denim/dark coloured blouses, turbans on their heads and lots of gold/jewellery. They looked feminine and dignified, and their clothes while cool offered protection against the sun.  

When we visit an archeological museum we see women wearing European medieval costumes. They consist of long colourful robes, head-coverings and sometimes hats worn on top of it (depending on the period they are portraying). And while Roman soldiers were known for their short tunics, female clothes were still long and covered the entire body + hair unless she was a slave. Slave girls were more undressed because their modesty and chastity were not protected by the law. 

Traditional clothes women wore in the West until recently were of the same type, though obviously of different styles. Hats and headcoverings by women were still worn till 1960s at the least, though dresses became much shorter. Men still wore long trousers and often hats. Then everything changed. Hats and wearing clothes in general was declared the tool of oppression/patriarchy and to emancipate oneself you have to prance around as undressed as the weather allows.

The funny thing is that while "they" definitely promote it, "they" in this case aren't the government officials but rather the MSM, the fashion world and (female) popstars whose skimpy clothes are eagerly copied by the young girls hoping to become just as popular by being "cool and s8xy".

Various Western governments, on the other hand, keep warning people about the dangers of the sun exposure and urge them to put on what could only be described as "modest clothing", like in this article.

 While they don't mention skirts/dresses (that would be too patriarchal, I guess) their educational video shows a girl wearing a dark knee-length dress. The stores are full of long summer skirts, btw, which offer even better protection since they cover more of your legs. And don't forget your feet. Open sandals are more risky than more traditional foot wear, or sport shoes which one usually wears with socks. 

Isn't it rather funny that all traditional cultures and religions expected folks to cover their nakedness, especially women and that it perfectly coincides with modern medical/scientific advice??? By the way, keep in mind that even when the UV index is low there are still UVA type rays present which normally don't cause sunburn, but they contribute to premature skin aging and are thought to suppress immunity. In fact, this article claims that just using a sunscreen regularly is comparable to botox in making you look younger. 

Well, I guess sticking it to the oppressive patriarchy is worth getting skin cancer and may be even dying. Or is it???

I Only Want To Say

 It's Holy Week again, yesterday was Palm Sunday. I don't have time for an effort post right now so I'll just leave you with this amazing performance by Ted Neeley:

Also, Christ is King!

She Was The Victim The Whole Time

 People got very upset in the past when I said it, but it's true. North America is like the ground zero of feminism. It would be literally impossible in any other country:

A former Tennessee cop who got axed for her trysts with six other officers on the job has settled her federal civil lawsuit against her former employer for a whopping $500,000, according to reports.

Maegan Hall, who claimed she was “sexually groomed” by a cadre of male colleagues on the force, sued the city of La Vergne last year after word of her raunchy romps made national headlines.

On Wednesday, the La Vergne board voted 3-1 at a special meeting to settle the suit, WTVF News said.

Just to remind you of her behaviour:

Hall, 28, made national headlines last year after her stationhouse sexcapades went public, including affairs with her supervisor, Sgt. Lewis Powell, and others.

According to an internal investigation, Hall hooked up with several colleagues, sent them nude pictures and went topless in a “Girls Gone Wild”-themed hot tub party — and even performed oral sex on two cops while on duty.

She also allegedly had a threesome with one of the cops and his wife, according to the city’s report.

The hanky-panky cost several of the male cops their jobs, including Powell.

Sugar and spice and everything nice, eh? Womyn are strong and independent and equal but also can't be responsible for their own (s8xual) behaviour. Well, we can thank Victorian feminism for this, I guess. 

Isn't Tennessee like a bastion of conservatism? But then, of course, conservatives generally support treating adult females like minors out of some misguided sense of chivalry. Well, chivalry was meant for ladies not for well you know...

The woman in question was married, btw. This is a real life example of why many young men eschew marriage nowadays. Here is some advice for you guys: if you are in a similar situation, go for the jugular in court. Victorian chivalry need finally to die out for the society to change for the better.

Jesus Christ And The Merchants

 A friendly reminder that money-making should never be the highest value for a Christian:

What Happened To Kate Middleton?

 This is really weird. What's going on???

The End Stage Of France?

 You probably already heard about it, too? 

Monday's vote by the two houses of the French parliament enshrined in Article 34 of the French constitution that "the law determines the conditions in which a woman has the guaranteed freedom to have recourse to an abortion".

Abortion rights are more widely accepted in France than in the United States and many other countries, with polls showing around 80% of French people back the fact that abortion is legal.

Before WWII there was death penalty for abortion in France. 

It's not enough for Macron, though. Every knee should bow:

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday that he wants the European Union to guarantee the right to an abortion in its Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Those are the Western values I keep hearing about so often right? Which make us so superior? You know what they also make us? Extinct.

"We're going to lead this fight in our continent, in our Europe, where reactionary forces are attacking women's rights before attacking the rights of minorities," he told the crowd attending the ceremony in Paris, in front of the Justice Ministry.

Last time I was in Paris, 13 years ago it hardly looked like a European city at all. Something tells me the situation isn't getting any better, because, minorities Mr Macron so cares about, don't use this fundamental right, unlike silly ethnic French women. 

At this point I'm past caring anyway. If the people collectively decide to eradicate themselves to please women and give space to foreigners, so be it. This is just terminal. I simply object of them forcing it on others.

Woman's Duty

 I'm sure by now most have already heard about another victory for the traditional family, this time in Ireland where the voters overwhelmingly rejected the changes to the Constitution supported by all mainstream parties, and kept the language from 1937 which explicitly states that mother's duty lies at home:

The second change — a proposed 40th amendment — would remove a reference to women’s role in the home as a key support to the state, and delete a statement that “mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labor to the neglect of their duties in the home.”

I know American conservatives like to blame the government for everything, but let's be honest here. Who is standing behind the government? Notice that the original text basically means that the family should have a decent living standard so that the mother is not forced to neglect her home for the sake of making ends meet. The truth is that it's "the business community" so beloved by all Western conservative parties which really pushes female employment, just like they are pushing open borders. 

Those people are not your friends. It's time conservatives stopped worshiping merchants and "free markets" at the expense of the family and the nation. And if they won't...it's time for Christians to stop supporting them.

Are They Doing Something With Time?

 Here is a really weird discussion I read on YouTube. People were discussing how everybody seems so busy nowadays and then some guy said: "They are doing something with the time. Haven't you noticed how the days are shorter? They say there are now 18 hours in the day instead of 24."

I know it sounds crazy, but on the other hand though...The days do appear very short. Personally I blame smartphones. You take the darn thing in your hand, check some social media and utube vids and suddenly like an hour has passed.

Well, what do you think? Any ideas?

Meanwhile In Ghana

 Just some news from around the world.

There is currently a rebellion going on against Pope Francis. Some say, it will cause a schism in the Catholic Church:

 A group of 90 Catholic clergymen, scholars and authors have published a joint letter to "all Cardinals and Bishops of the Catholic Church," urging them to oppose a Vatican document approved by Pope Francis that allows priests to bless same-sex couples for the first time.

In the letter, the Catholic conservatives say that Fiducia Supplicans, a Vatican doctrine released on December 18 and signed by the Pope, would lead to the blessing of "objectively sinful" relationships. They add that the cardinals and bishops should "forbid immediately the application of this document in your diocese" and "ask directly the Pope to urgently withdraw this unfortunate document, which is in contradiction with both Scripture and the universal and uninterrupted Tradition of the Church."

Some Catholic priests went so far as to film themselves praying for the Pope to die and laughing about it:

A group of ultra-conservative priests from Spain and Latin America have been forced to apologise for saying they wished the Pope would die “as soon as possible”.

The comment was made during a filmed chat between members of a group called The Sacristy of the Vendée, which describes itself as “a counter-revolutionary priestly gathering”.

In it, Gabriel Calvo Zarraute, a priest from Toledo says: “I also pray a lot for the Pope, so that he can go to heaven as soon as possible.”

Another priest then also expresses his support for the Pope’s quick death, with other participants laughing at the comments.

The video was posted online and has had more than 60,000 views. 

Not only priests, but also some high ranking military officers appear to be upset by the current state of things in the West. Italy  suspended an army general for writing a politically incorrect book:

 ROME, Feb 28 (Reuters) - An Italian army general reprimanded by the defence minister for publishing a book disparaging LGBT people, migrants, minorities and feminists has been suspended from duty for 11 months, his lawyer said on Wednesday...The book says homosexual men are not normal and claims there is an "international gay lobby" trying to brainwash the world. It also appears to question whether Black people can be Italian, referring to Paola Egonu, an Italian volleyball international born in Italy to Nigerian parents.

 Well, I don't know about Nigeria, but in Ghana they don't care about "rules based world order'' any more:

Ghana's parliament passed a bill on Wednesday that further clamps down on the rights of LGBTQ people in the West African country.

The "Human Sexual Rights and Family Values" bill enjoys support from a majority of lawmakers in Accra and has been sponsored by a coalition of Christian, Muslim, and Ghanaian traditional leaders.

Same-sex intercourse in Ghana was already punishable by up to three years in prison, but while discrimination against LGBTQ people is common, no one has ever been prosecuted under the colonial-era law.

The new bill, commonly referred to as the anti-gay bill, now also imposes a prison sentence of up to five years for the "wilful promotion, sponsorship, or support of LGBTQ+ activities."

 Meanwhile in the USA progressives are upset about the pastor who won the Republican primary for governor of North Carolina. He is considered controversial because in a "fiery speech" he declared that there are "but two genders":

Robinson faces off against NC Attorney General Josh Stein, who won the Democratic nod Tuesday, and would become North Carolina's first Jewish Governor. Stein and Robinson will compete to replace term-limited Gov. Roy Cooper.

"Robinson is an abortion-banning, election denying, social media conspiracy theorist and come November every voter in the state will know exactly who the real Mark Robinson is," texted Morgan Jackson, a senior Stein adviser, to Politico.

Robinson, meanwhile, is on a quest to defend America against people "who want to destroy it."

Why Student Loans Are Immoral

My previous post links to VD, and he, in his turn, links to another blog which goes into great length to discuss what usury is and what is a traditional Catholic position on the issue. I'm not sure how many people would really bother to read the whole of it, but since I found the topic very interesting myself, I decided to do a sort of summary of it plus add my own thoughts on one of the most contentious modern issues, student loans. 

So here comes. There are basically 2 different kinds of loans, usurious and non-usurious. Usury nowadays is often understood as charging an unreasonable amount of interest on the loan, but it's not correct. It's the type of loan itself, not the amount of interest you have to pay, which creates usury.

Here are 2 examples to illustrate the point I'm trying to make.

Situation 1. My friend Jane needs 20 euros. She asks me to lend her money. I make her sign the contract which states that if Jane doesn't pay me 20 euros within 1 month, I'm entitled to her hammer which cost about the same. I then can sell it online and get my money back. This type of loan is non-usurious because it's tied to property with real market value.

Situation 2. Jane wants to borrow 20 euros from me. We sign the contract which stipulates that if she doesn't pay within a month, then I can sue her in court for a portion of her future earnings. This type of loan is always usurious, because it's tied to a person, and something which doesn't really exist at this moment. It could be very well that in 1 month Jane loses her job and has no salary at all. Her "future earnings" are non-existent.

Usury is considered immoral because it is akin to slavery, since it lays claims on a person, and not a thing/property. Hence the term "debt slave". By this definition, all student loans are usury and sinful. Even if the chance exists, like in my country, that they are forgiven if you get your diploma. Since it's tied to the possibility of you passing your exams in future, which may or may not happen. This "diploma thing"" doesn't even exist at this point.

Traditionally, the magisterium taught that the sinner was the one who lends, and not the one who borrows. So a student who feels his only chance in life is to borrow money to get a degree is misguided at best, and a victim at worst, while the system which allows for it is wicked and immoral.

Conservatives naturally side with the usurious banker in the case. Sorry, couldn't help it. But there is really a nuance to the whole situation. There should be some sort of a debt jubilee for student loans after which the system should be reformed. However, the proper way to handle it is, imo, not to give those people free money, but simply cancel all the debt. Let the usurer bear the costs. Simple as that:)

Usury Is Morally Wrong

 A very interesting post on usury by VD:

Now, the history of economics, especially as recounted by Murray Rothbard, is essentially the history of relentlessly challenging the Catholic Church’s ban on usury. And in retrospect, it’s clear that this incoherence is the direct result of centuries of gradually chipping away at the concept through adulteration and expansion of the moral and legal permissibility of usury.

Why Conservatives Keep Losing...Again

 

  I think I already wrote about it before:) Anyway, I don't have much time today, so just a couple of thoughts. Conservatives keep losing because it's inherently "bourgeois" ideology, i.e. they are obsessed with being respectable. God forbid they would break any rules, engage in  street activism or, in general, do anything except b8tching online about "liberal double standards" or in the best case, holding a prayer vigil. 

While I'm not a big fan of D.Trump, I still remember how "traditional conservatives" were denigrating him in 2016 as "crude" and "boorish". Remember that famous "grab them by the 88888" remark? It had all these prissy types reaching for their smelling salts. He committed the ultimate sin of "not respecting women" by (gasp) wishing to bed them!!! Oh the horror of horrors, he had a libido.

 Conservatives are the ultimate pedestalisers. They simply can't bring themselves to criticise women so if they do criticise feminism they somehow make it the fault of men. Along the lines of "men are so weak nowadays that women have to join the army". They keep pretending that it's still 19th century and all these sluts girls out there throwing themselves at chad and tyrone are simply pure misguided angels seduced by big bad men. They themselves would never offend any woman by desiring her, hence the reason why they chose chad in the 1st place, lol. 

Being ultimately too cowardly to do anything themselves they spend an enormous amount of time  online attacking those who try changing things by inventing various conspiracy theories about psy-ops and stuff (not that psy-ops never happen, but you know what I mean). They have the personality and charisma of a Victorian schoolmarm and are always ready to scold those who in their opinion, deviate from the conservative standard. They are the enforcers of the speech norms (no, you can't say anything about the behaviour of group X. That's not NICE!!!)

In short, they keep losing because they simply refuse to fight. Conservatism is simply loser ideology. 

“It may be inferred again that the present movement for women’s rights will certainly prevail from the history of its only opponent, Northern conservatism. This [Northern conservatism] is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation.What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one of the accepted principles of conservatism;... Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth, and has no idea of being guilty of the folly of martyrdom.

P.S. While I do love The Lord Of The Rings there is a reason why it's so popular among conservatives. It's about good guys per chance acquiring the Ring Of Power and refusing to use it!!!

Physical Fitness Tests are Sexisss

 Holding women up to any kind of standards is discrimination:

A police force has come under fire after scrapping compulsory fitness tests on the grounds they are unfair on women.

British Transport Police said female officers were suffering 'indirect discrimination' from doing a so-called bleep test – in which they have to run up and down a 15-metre track for three minutes 35 seconds – because they were far more likely to fail than men.

Now only new recruits and specialists, including dog handlers and armed officers, are required to pass a fitness test.

There Is Nothing Glamorous About Divorce

Here is an interesting video about women regretting their divorces:

 

 Here are a couple of things to consider. First, WARNING: language. Not PG friendly:) 

Second, I've know guys who did exactly the thing he says never happens, like leaving his wife for another woman, but his general point stands. 

Third, the lady with 4 kids is a real basket case and the ex-husband is much too nice, which is why she probably left him in the first place. 

And finally, the last case. I've written on my blog about a similar story, but it ended much worse. The woman hanged herself in front of her minor kids. 

Women in the past were taught how to attract men, to make them marry you and, the most important thing, how to keep them. Appears to be a lost art nowadays...

Is It "Their" Fault?

 If you are on Gab you know that the front page more often than not consists of memes and slogans, with a couple thought-provoking posts thrown in between. One of the memes spread around today went along the lines that the society is collapsing because "they" made the art ugly (among other things). Now I've seen the variations of this theme going around for ages. 

Who are "they" you will ask. Well, it could be anyone. "Deep State", "Special people", "Liberals," "Communists", "Demonrats", "Bankers" and sometimes, "elites" in general. 

Here is something I have been thinking about recently. The idea behind this type of posts is always that the elites are doing it on purpose, for some nefarious reasons, which is, possibly, at least, partly true. There is, however, an aspect of the problem which nobody seems to consider. Any society, how progressive and liberal it is in theory, has social classes. In traditional Western class system we have  upper class, middle class and lower class. Upper class are ruling elites, middle class are free property owners and craftsmen, while lower class is rather heterogenic. 

Traditionally it would consist out of the descendants of medieval serfs, landless peasants (and in general people too poor to own any kind of property), various vagabonds and antisocial/criminal elements.

European class system has never been very rigid, and there was both upward and downward mobility, however, the upper class still largely consists of those who are called "old blood/money". I read about some Swiss/Italian families which are 1000 years old and all this time have been in top 10% of the income bracket. In UK and Germany there are families who own property such as historical castles for more than a thousand years. Well, you get my point.

Upper class people, whether good or evil, generally have a higher IQ which, together with clannishness and ambition/lust for power is one of the factors which allows them to keep their dominant position in society. It is those people who throughout the centuries have had time to create high culture, works of art, music and literature. Their youngest sons became clergymen and studied theology. They have shaped European culture for more than a thousand years.

It was European nobility who first converted to Christianity, made it the official religion, and sometimes forced it on the peasants, who had kept their old pagan folks-beliefs well into Late Middle Ages. It was upper and upper middle class in Great Britain who created Victorian culture we admire so much.

Lower classes? Well, they did enjoy stuff like gladiator fights, public executions, traveling circus, and fairs where cripples were showing their handicaps for money. In the 19th century, there was an enormous effort by the elites to "enlighten" poor folks and to improve their living conditions. It worked! Even factory workers were reading novels like those of Dickens in Victorian England and visiting opera.

And then, what happened then? Somewhere in the mid-19th century Western elites lost their faith. They put their trust in science and "killed God". Some stayed "Christian in name only", others turned openly atheist. Ironically enough, it was lower middle/lower class who kept to their faith the longest, but now in Europe they chiefly lost it, too. In the USA, many people still identify as Christian, but for far too many of them, their religion is more like belonging to a social/entertainment club. My husband calls it "circus churches". 

Once Western elites stopped being Christian they simply lost their ability to create transcendental works of art. The last one of this kind in English language was probably Lord Of The Rings. Recently I read the preface to a Game of Thrones novel which stated that it is more morally complex than LOTR. The very first page I opened had a sentence that ran approximately like this: She f888ed her father. And later "she needs a good f888" Well, that is modern moral complexity on a display right here. I'm fairly certain that Tolkien could not have written it.

Western elites are currently atheistic nihilists (some think they are downright satanic) or (like some American politicians) use religion cynically to appeal to their voters and manipulate them into obeying the government (how many churches have adopted the alphabet agenda?) Elite sons are not choosing careers in the church which is one of the reasons of the theological stagnation and church having lower status in general. 

Art and culture produced by these elites naturally reflect their essence. "They" probably aren't even doing it on purpose, to corrupt the masses. They simply can't behave otherwise. Modern art and culture simply reflects their core values, on the one hand, while on the other hand, it appeals to the lowest common denominator because it sells better. You know, the types who used to enjoy gladiator's fights and public hangings. 

Until "they" become Christian again, there will be no change for the better.

 

Are Husbands Supposed To Support Their Wives?

 Recently I read a discussion about polygamy. One guy said that Islam only allows polygamy to provide for widows and orphans/divorced women, but as usual, men abused this right by marrying young hot 2nd wives when their 1st wife grows older, which, in his opinion was very wrong. However, he continued, in the case of helping some poor (war) widow it could be a noble thing to do.

A European lady was surprised. She asked if women in his country worked at all and why would they need a man to provide for them and their children. "In my country everybody works," she stated. Now I wonder which country it is and how did it stray so far from the original design, and I find it especially sad that the lady stated she was a Christian, so let's look at what the Scriptures say about it. A funny thing is that OT allowed polygamy and expressly stated that if the man took another wife, he still had the duty to keep his 1st wife in the way she was accustomed to:

Exodus 21:

 7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.   8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.   9 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.   10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.   11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

Here is what Matthew Henry wrote on the issue:

"Concerning maid-servants, whom their parents, through extreme poverty, had sold, when they were very young, to such as they hoped would marry them when they grew up; if they did not, yet they must not sell them to strangers, but rather study how to make them amends for the disappointment; if they did, they must maintain them handsomely, v. 7-11. Thus did God provide for the comfort and reputation of the daughters of Israel, and has taught husbands to give honour to their wives (be their extraction ever so mean) as to the weaker vessels, 1 Pet 3 7."

So yes, men are supposed to provide for their wives. And then, of course, there is this famous 1Tim 5:8 verse, which is not only about widows, according to John Gill:

 But if any provide not for his own
Not only for his wife and children, but for his parents, when grown old, and cannot help themselves

This, btw, takes us back to the whole Boomer problem. Boomers are accused of not supporting their adult children financially, while here it is stated that it's adult children who have to provide/care for their aged parents. Hmm
 

You Don't Have To Accept Their Bull888t

 How many parents are conditioned to "accept their children as they are" and never dare to show disapproval of their choices? Well, this one dad had enough:

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

 

Well, I am awfully sorry I didn't congratulate you yesterday, but we were too busy celebrating our wedding anniversary:) Hope you all had a great time with your loved ones!

How Did Grandma Manage To Stay Home?

Grandma:

"My grandparents didn't have any money to spend on luxuries for their home, but you know what? It was always clean, everything had its place, there was never clutter, and it always looked like a pretty little place that you'd want to visit for the day and drink some lemonade. My grandmother scrubbed her walls and her floors, and they sparkled. She had pride in her home - her two-bedroom home where she raised nine children who were always clean and well-behaved."

Darla Shine, Happy Housewives, New York, Regan books, 2005, p. 73.

Being A Homebody Is OK

We all have probably heard about extrovert-introvert distinction however modern social science thinks these conditions exist as a spectrum and most people fall somewhere in-between (called ambivert), however extroverts are often seen by many as an ideal, especially in business and management.

Our society is biased towards extroverts and it starts at school, as this article documents:

In a way education by its nature favours the extrovert because you are taking kids and putting them into a big classroom, which is automatically going to be a high-stimulation environment. Probably the best way of teaching in general is one on one, but that's not something everyone can afford. So, school ends up becoming this place where introverted kids learn that they have to act like extroverts.

One of the reasons for this is the demands of big business:

But this really reached a pitch when we moved from an agricultural society into the world of big business. And that's when it really became the case that to stand out and succeed in a company, with people that you had never met before, the quality of being very magnetic, very charismatic in a job interview suddenly became very important. This happened at the turn of the 20th century. And, it was some what coincidentally some what not, accompanied by the rise of the cinema and the idea of movie stars. And so movie stars became the ultimate guide on how to be magnetic and charismatic.  

I think we all share this bias to some degree, I mean when you look around you notice that the outgoing, charismatic people are largely considered to be successful and good role models while quiet, reserved people are viewed as mousy. And while the author of the article claims that women are allowed to be "more demure", this is not the case, in my opinion, and women are constantly encouraged to be loud, aggressive and spend as little time at home as possible.

I remember how a friend was embarrassed that she was seen knitting through the window by a postman, "because knitting is for old(er) ladies", just like cross-stitching and other quiet hobbies. 

Yet, if extreme extroverts aren't even a majority why should we all be catering to them? May be some women really detest staying home and would rather be out engaging in office drama and slaying dragons, but what about the other type of women? Those who actually like being at home? Why should they be ashamed of who they are?

Recently I was following a discussion on social media where a lady said exactly this. Work sucks. I'm glad I can stay home with my children. I like being at home anyway. And another answered along the lines that she was a homebody, too, and the mom of several (!) small kids yet people were telling her she needs a job otherwise she'll get crazy from staying home. Well guess what, some of us would get crazy if they had to stay in the office the whole day.

Home is not a prison and it's OK to be there often and to like it:)
