Crying

this makes me sad.

i think that definitely things make way more sense when you look at them both rationally AND emotionally. but why must we say that emotionality must be "girly" or somehow "feminine," and not capable of rationality (which society has deemed as somehow much more valid and important than emotionality). and why must rationality be devoid of emotion? can not the two exist side by side?

who will judge what is a minor and what is a major incident worth crying over? shall we submit this to parliament and congress to make law what is worthwhile emotion and what is "silly women's feelings and tears and hysterics"? who is fit to judge such things?

no one's credibility or worth should be determined in such a narrow minded way. so many situations, people, energies are so completely different. how can one person or group of people presume to set standards for something as arbitrary as male vs. female roles/emotions/modicums for behavior? it isn't logical or rational, which blows a hole right through the argument that emotionality is somehow less than rationality. the rational conclusion therefore is that neither is more or less than the other.

 

Emotions are what make us human. What is the point of life, if you are not willing to feel it? Even the times that make you cry are worth feeling and experiencing.

 

But its "male" worth.What I think *I* have to behave like.

Girls who are emotionally sensitive, I see that as normal and a completely positive quality.
Infact I learn a huge amount from them about interpersonal things and "emotional intelligence" etc.Probably a fair bit more than from guys.

Its not about what is right or wrong.
Just about how I think *I* should behave like.With myself, with others- male or female.

but where does this belief come from is what i'm questioning. does this come from your own convictions? or is this just recycled societal bullshit?

 

I was born that way.
I've got high testosterone -from facial analysis and stuff.

When I was in baby school, I didn't wanna go in the Wendy house- like a mini house with toy crockery and stuff.
And I won't go food shopping and stuff.But my father would.

Its just what I feel is right for me.if someone wants to be different, good luck to them.
And I question *everything* society tells me.

 

well awesome for you. i respect feeling a strong way because your genuinely feel it. it's just so rare to converse with those who actually question societal standards and teachings.

thankyou
:blush5:

I think that what society has told us is a very powerful force.
Sometimes I think of things like materialism.Starting a society "from scratch", I probably wouldn't have a place for it.Or atleast a much smaller one.Altho I *have* been affected by a materialist society in my outlook.

Some of our conditioning is so deeply ingrained, it becomes part of what we are.
Anyway, I'm not planning on cooking any fairy cakes anytime soon...

 

With my mouth

I get girlfriends /other girls to go food shopping.Same with cleaning.
Sometimes I have stuff delivered.

Also small food items bought with large cases of beer are considered socially acceptable in RessotaspiksWorld.

 

I don't remember the last time I cried....it may have been when my great aunt died.

 

The last time I cried I was in the depths of an absolutely insane mushroom trip.

... but I assume that doesn't count.

I honestly can't remember the last time I cried for normal reasons. At a guess I would say around four years ago, after/during the breakup with my last serious girlfriend.

 

nothing, if you don't let it control you.

male or female, if you act on irrational feelings rather than thinking about what you should say or do and then doing it, you are being counterproductive. and also annoying to rational people around you.

 

These are words of wisdom.... I'm guilty of it, but I try to think first... when I'm mad it's like I can't control, I just react.

 

last time I cried is when my grandad died. 2 years ago... nah, maybe a year and a half ago.

 

Like a month ago at staff meeting. I had a really hard case and it was making me sad explaining it.
