@ausstockchick The relationships you build with other mothers is mostly for the kids’ benefit. But if you look, you can find some really interesting women in these groups that you wouldn’t have met otherwise.
@anymanfitness@ThomBrady5 I worked as a sessional music teacher in private schools for years. I have never seen a cluster of personality disorders quite like that of a staff room. The good ones are either very young, or old & have had another career.
@mdwfmom@JohnDavisJDLLM It will also only exacerbate male intra-sexual competition, which is what a lot of this comes down to. High-status men will always be selected by women, the others will have… whatever this is.
@john_macgowan The left doesn’t care about internal inconsistencies in its own narrative, nevermind with reality. Arguing the point, or variations on the ‘facts don’t care about your feelings’ line just don’t work. ‘Smart’ people can’t get us out of this.
@luinalaska I was the same, and as a result I understand the left, whereas they are not interested in understanding any perspective other than their own. The irony is they will say we are the ones suffering from a false consciousness.
@RealMarkLatham It’s so unfair to push young women into careers they may not want, and then gaslight them for wanting to be a nurse or teacher instead, because these are “lesser” professions according to some.
@psychealchemy@onescottwilson 15 years for me. Best advice I received was to think of him like a natural disaster, earthquake or hurricane, because you’re never going to really understand why he acted the way he did. DM if you like and all the best to you love 💕
@psychealchemy@onescottwilson Lovebombing yes although the term wasn’t around at the time, and neither was ‘gaslighting’, which would have been a really useful term to know.
I was not allowed to talk to any man, and he didn’t like any of my female friends, especially the ones who could think for themselves.
@psychealchemy@onescottwilson The same thing happened to me, as a very young woman. He was outraged that I wanted to take time off work to raise (hypothetical) children. I am now married to a good man - hopefully you’ve healed and moved on, too.
