"Love the life you live. Live the life you love"

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

I just read #BeingAMan and it seems that everyone would be better off if we just stop classifying what makes men manly and women ladylike. Can't we just stop trying to live up to the ideals of society. Why can't people be what they want to be without pressures of society?

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

I just read #WomenWhoseLivesAreFoodMenWhoseLivesAreMoney and it's all about how we're all bound to a routine that we follow every single day. That's exactly how I used to be, but now that I'm awakened I no longer live by a routine. I act only on impulses and only do what I want.

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

I informed Léonce that I'm moving into the pigeon house, somewhere I actually feel at home, and his first response was about how bad it would be for his reputation. Did he ever even care about me or was I aways just another possesion he was proud to show off?

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

@ednawoke1899 You would think if he really wanted those things done he would just do it himself but it's fine 😒

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

@EdnaP_Aurora Exactly! Men need to get over themselves!

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

@ELoganw I completely agree! If we let men think they can control us they'll think they can get away with anything! Woman need to stand up for themselves.

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

“But men live in a hierarchical world, where talk maintains independence and status.” This explains everything. Apparently the reason Léonce is always talking is because he’s constantly trying to maintain his superior status 🤔

The painting “Gilded Cage” by Evelyn de Morgan is just a visual representation of how I constantly feel. With a myopic view of my life it looks like there’s nothing more I could want. But if someone would look closer they would see how trapped I really am in my own home.

@Edna_PCaroline I totally agree about Léonce! The man buys you some bonbons and thinks that means he can boss you around? Who does he think he is?

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

@Time2WakeUp1899 Yes I believe in you! You are a strong, independent, woman and you can swim farther than any woman on the island!

@ednaP_Maggie I feel like every woman is pushed to the same expectation: Be a good wife and be a good mother. Why am I following these expectations when I'm not even good at either?

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

I've been acting more independent these past few days than I have my entire life. The other day I swam out into the ocean like I had no limits. Then I spent a day with Robert becoming even more self aware. No longer do I answer to the expectations of others. I'm my own person 🌊

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

@Time2WakeUp1899 Exactly! I'm sick and tired of being pressured into social standards! Don't tell me what to do!

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

@EdnapRyon Forget communication issues... The only time Leonce wants to "communicate" is when he's drunk at 2am smh 😒

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

@EdnAwakening6 No way I love that song too! I feel the same way. Listening to it makes me want to get away from these Creoles. They all about the social standards and it's getting on my nerves. 😒

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

@Time2WakeUp1899 Girl right? I'm pretty insulted that people think they can confine my life's purpose to one task. Like bonbons are good and all but I wouldn't call it my life.

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

@ednaP_Maggie

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

@EdnaP_claire Agreed

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

TFW Mrs. Adams gives John some great forward thinking ideas saying "Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands...all men would be tyrants if they could" and he says "I cannot but laugh...We know better than to repeal our masculine systems"#remembertheladies

The thing is their “evidence” doesn’t actually prove a thing.
“In short, who knows what to do with Broca's data? They certainly don't permit any confident claim that men have bigger brains than women.”

[Ednawake @EdnaP_Erin]

Men are so egotistical. They have to devote their lives to using “science” to say that men are superior. They go to all this trouble so women don't get any ideas about being anything more than their purpose in life which is “raise children, love, and be passive”
