Dear The Internet, This Is Why You Can't Have Anything Nice

[seabeyond]

40. first article by Susan Faludi

the tell in that article was the total avoidance of the mention of patriarchy and how thru so many things in our life teach girls and boys their roles. the patriarchy defining, controlling, setting up the fail. it is not about the mom/daughter relationship. it is about the patriarchal control and then the girl growing up (just like the boys are conditioned and inevitably most of the men grow up) and there is more like thinking. she is creating and feeding the battle between women provided by the patriarchy.

also, with individual psychology, it is a norm for the young girls to get off moms hip and reject mom for a period of time to be able to do and figure out on their own. and with a healthy relationship and understanding there is a reuniting. the same happens with boys and their father. all healthy and normal.

also, for most women, i hope, we were raised in a time of sexual freedom. kids are doing nothing new. younger generations always think they are first, and we sit their and smile. that is ok too.

also, we can stop trying to define others into offensive stereotypes and that will take us a long way.

not too impressed with that article. gonna read the other two.
