374. i am supposed to like pink, per men, because women picked berries. i am suppose to want an old man

Sat Sep 27, 2014, 05:44 PM

Sep 2014

when i am young, i am suppose to have emotional attachment when i want sex, i am suppose to not want sex as much as a man and i am supposed to not wnat sex at all when i am old, and no man is suppose to want sex with me at al cause i went out of 20's. though any of those have never held as my reality.

i am suppose to be so inept a man must take care of me. until laws proetected me instead of restricted me. then evolutionary wise, all of a sudden, whole generations of women evolved in a mere couple decades to take care of themselves.

when any "theory" created by man, is all about defining who i am, defining my sexuality, regardless of personal experience, to control and dominate me, in the name of science or a religion....

i bulk.

just the way i am. which probably would not fit into the evolutionary scheme of things on who and what a woman is, defined by man.
