@treesey@SEENPublishing They're a bit late to the party. There's a picture book, at least 40 years old called All About Me that features a gender neutral toddler with bobbed hair and dungarees; I push my pram. I pull my tractor. I help Mummy. I help Daddy. :)
'Mountain Climber.' (1912) Jean-Ferdinand Willumsen's travels through Italy and Spain were inspired after buying a painting by El Greco. A great traveller, his meeting with Gauguin in 1890 significantly influenced the way he used colour, but that vivid palette is all Scandinavian
Full quote:
First of all, Ned was an impostor and impostors who aren't sociopaths eventually implode. Assuming another identity is no simple affair, even when it doesn't involve a sex change. It takes constant effort, vigilance and energy. A lot of energy. It's exhausting at the best of times. You are always afraid that someone knows you are not who you say you are, or will know immediately if you make even the slightest false step. You are outside of yourself in two senses. First because you are always watching yourself from beside or above, trying to get the performance right and see the pitfalls coming, but also because you are always trying to inhabit the persona of someone who doesn't exist, even on paper. You don't have the benefit of a script or character treatment that can tell you how this person thinks, or what his childhood was like, or what he likes to do. He has no history and no substance, and being him is like being an adult thrown back into the worst of someone else’s awkward adolescence.
I believe a lot of women don’t think they can achieve (or want to achieve) status or power so they do so on a micro level by having children. A lot of times it’s the first time they’ve actually had control over someone/something.
@HKW1981@womensart1 There's also a really good book called In Her Nature by Rachel Hewitt, a tome that covers the history of women in the great outdoors.
@mikeoxbroad@bunnytangereen It's really weird that you're calling me a troll, for a genuine response, but I guess sleazy men are incapable of understanding others.
@mikeoxbroad@bunnytangereen Still don't get why you're referring to 'collectivism'? I'm the same person I've been since a little girl, always on the side of the underdog.
@edwinhammeren@bunnytangereen You vile disgusting creepy misogynist of a man.
I hope you never ever ever have sex again in your life.
Objectifying creep.
@mikeoxbroad@bunnytangereen No, I'm the same person I've always been. Is it really that incomprehensible that someone could be angry at others being insulted?
You're really misunderstanding here.
@mikeoxbroad@bunnytangereen Collectivism?? What do you mean?? That's how I feel, if I see other women insulted I am angry on their behalf.
I always take the part of the downtrodden, that's how I am.
@mikeoxbroad@bunnytangereen Obviously it's hypocritical if you hold women and men to different standards. And even if you do criticise them, you can do so without using insulting language such as 'whores'.
To me, when a man insults any woman, I see it as an insult to All women.
@mikeoxbroad@bunnytangereen Any man who refers to women as 'whores' is vile and disgusting.
Do you refer to men who have lots of sex as 'whores'?? No, then refrain from your disgusting sexist hypocrisy.
And if you're not from a religious background, then how on earth can it possibly matter?
