Random rant on the feminine and the masculine. . .

Slowly, but steadily, we are seem to be moving away from a patriarchal society ( or perhaps I am delusional again, lol, but I am seeing the improvement. . .),
HOWEVER, there seems to be this whole "women are better, women doesn't need no men, women can do it all alone " situation going on here.

And as much as I believe that women are capable of a lot more than we were credited for in the past many centuries, I do believe that this whole big feminism is also not so good for us.

Yes, women are equal, and it's great, and we deserve to have our rights, but does it have to be to the expense of men?
Cause what I'm struggling to understand, is why it has to be one over another. . .

Never agreed with the whole patriarchal shit, especially that I grew up in a very chauvinist country.
I've spent the first two decades of my life, dealing with men, who had little to no respect towards me, and quite frankly a lot of them didn't even have an idea, that they were disrespectful. . . (Including my male relatives.)

I went through some pretty serious mental, physical and sexual abuse in my life ( no I'm not going towards #metoo, just sharing the background. . . no victimhood, and no need to feel sorry for me, I'm a big girl, who dealt with all those), but even after all that, I don't believe that the way is to put men in a place, where women were until now, behind the curtains. (Although i would like to kick some of them in the balls, but that is just a side note, lol).

I'm seeing that it is becoming more and more a thing, that women are stepping into this whole, I can do it without a men story.

I have witnessed several of my female friends, in the last decade, to decide to go into a relationship with women, after their failed marriage (with men).
Now, I want to highlight, I have no issues whatsoever, with people's sexual orientation, as it so is not my business who you
are having sex with, behind your closed doors. I completely, 100% accept anyone, who really is attracted more to the same gender, or both.
My problem lies within the context, that many of these women, have stated that their choice ( of going towards female only relationships) were based on the fact, that they couldn't find a decent men, they had lots of issues with man, they were hurt by men, etc. . .
And in my perception, that is wrong.

That is being, in this whole, I don't like men/I feel threatened by men/ etc so let's push them away. . .
But then we are playing a similar game, to what they did to us women, when we became so repressed. . . and pushed on the side.

Not cool.

Ok, but the point shouldn't really be just be about men, let's talk about women.

So there are these two extremes, of women being repressed and pushed to the background and told to clean the kitchen;
and the other end, where women are all about doing everything without a men.
Cause apparently we don't need them.

And in between lies a whole lotta other issue. . .

As we are navigating from the old dependent pattern, where women depend on men for material shit, and men depend on women for clean home and cooked food ( and sex),
there are all these believes, that are pressuring women and preventing them from stepping into their power.
The picture I've included, pretty much sums it up (can't credit as don't know the source. . .ooor, it came from THE SOURCE . . ., as in the Universe) . . .not sure, will get it fact checked. . .

Pretty much everything can be looked at as a disadvantage, or something to be ashamed of. . .

For instance, I always received many judgements about my body. . . I was seriously underweight for a long time in my life; during all those years, I have been given many criticism about my shape, and it was always the focus. . . Petra's sticking out ribs. . .and so on.
Now that I have luscious curves (and I love them, more than my skinny ass), the topic is, that Petra needs to watch herself, cause she is getting bigger. WTF?

Can we stop pressuring women?

Other topic is this whole body hair thing. . . again, all these hippies and feminists, posing with showing off their body hair, and shaming all those women who are removing body hair.
As opposed to 10 years ago, when women were shamed if they didn't remove all their hair. . .

Can we please all decide for ourselves whatever the fuck we want to do with our body hair? Whichever one chooses, is their own personal choice. It may depend from month to month, what one prefers, but it is everybody's own personal choice. . .

Or another, example. . .if I'm choosing to go into and laugh at sexual references, and inapropriate shit, while playing along with the naughty boys: I get frowned upon. . .Yeah. . .but if I don't, then I get labeled as the prude. . . so than can someone explain which one is the accepted behaviour for women?!?!
I tell ya, the one that I choose for myself, cause I feel confident in my ground on who do I feel safe joking around with. . .or not.

Not sure where I'm going with all this. I guess I just had to bring this all up to the surface.

My point is for sure, that just because women are not repressed anymore, doesn't mean that men has to be . . .
And women should be allowed to do whatever the f@ck they want ( oh and the same for the guys. lol ). . .

Living in harmony and supporting one another is the ultimate goal, when it comes to the masculine and the feminine.
Whether it is in a relationship or not.

Energetically speaking (sorry for the woowoo), the way I see, is the masculine holds the energy below, and behind, so the feminine is safe to fall, but has space to go forward and up.

Everybody to their own strength. . . but respecting what the other needs.
( I did actaually brought up a little of this the other day, almost forgott. . . looks like a little bit of a theme was building up on one another, and I wasn't even aware of it up until now. . .interesting. . . "The doorway to openness is often exactly what you don't want to do" )

Ok, so who else has any pain on their chest they wanna let go of? It is the time and the place as it seems. . .
Thank you for your ears (eyes?) . . .

Can you see the little female devil reflection over half my face? This kind of sums me up. . . and the dancing women behind. Found this today on the high street. . . (also spot the plates on he wall. . .they have breasts on them)
