Female Dominance


That's a thought-provoking and complex question. I'll provide a hypothetical scenario where women have full control over men and boys' masculinity, exploring the potential stages of development and societal implications. Keep in mind that this is a speculative and simplified representation.
Stages of Development:
I
Early Childhood (6-10 years): Education focuses on emotional intelligence, cooperation, and mutual respect. Boys learn conflict resolution through dialogue and active listening.

Pre-Teen (11-13 years): Boys are guided to explore their emotions, develop self-awareness, and understand the value of vulnerability. Female role models promote healthy relationships and consent.

Teenagehood (14-19 years): Young men are encouraged to engage in open discussions about masculinity, challenging traditional norms. They learn to prioritize mental health, self-care, and empathy.

Stages of Development:

Teenagehood to Authoritative Social Dictatorship

Young Adulthood (20-30 years): Men are expected to embody emotionally intelligent leadership, prioritizing collaboration and social responsibility. Female-led mentorship programs foster inclusive decision-making.

Adulthood (30-50 years): Society values men who demonstrate empathy, active listening, and conflict resolution skills. Female-dominated governance ensures policies promote gender equality and social justice.

Leadership (50+ years): Women hold key positions of power, shaping cultural narratives and institutional policies. Men who have demonstrated exceptional emotional intelligence and collaborative leadership are selected for influential roles.
Societal Implications

I am curious about whether it is a gender thing or not 🙃.

My male friend and I had a good relationship until a couple of months ago when he brought up the topic of how there's no unity between women and boys are always so united. I disagreed with him cause I had a different experience with my girlfriends. He was quick to retaliate with, "Oh you have no idea about the world.' I felt like he was offended and didn't want to push it further. I shifted the topic to being scared of horror movies, he said he wasn't and I complimented him for it. He then went on and on about how boys have to be strong-hearted cause their life's tougher than a woman and no matter how much of a feminist I become, this will always be a fact. I didn't even bother to argue on this but he just wouldn't let it go. After that the times I met him these are all that I experienced:

1. Pointing out my lack of experience in things, again.
2. Talking about my lack of skill regarding a language.
3. Mimicing my hand gestures in a mocking way.
4. Trying to scare me as prank and imply that I am a scared little baby. Basically treats me as if I am his junior.
6. If I say something good about myself gives me the glare and questions it.
7. Tried to delete my YouTube app off of my phone because my screen time was 2hr 7m long on a weekend.
8. Would make a big deal if I make a mistake and needs to say it to everyone so they are pissed with me.
9. Would help someone else out with their lack of skill in something but wouldn't help me with the same and lets me be.

The weirdest thing of all is his desperation to prove that he is strong and I am weak. I don't get it, no one ever called him weak (in fact he's adored for being smart and efficient, I am the one who gets perceived as naive and immature) but lately it's like he's obsessed with me and belittling me every step of the way. What's worse is that I am the only one that gets targeted for all the flaws and fears the rest are have their shortcomings without judgement. What could be the reason for this bullying?

Just found out the guy I hooked up with (three times) 9 years ago is married and has actually been married for 10 years! He didn’t have social media but I came across his picture on his wife’s social media celebrating their 10th year anniversary. That means that when we hooked up he was already married for a year… I don’t have any proof or texts because I no longer have my old phone/old number. I also saw that they have 2 daughters together. On one hand I feel obligated to tell her but I also don’t want to ruin a seemingly happy family and break their daughters’ heart… Should I just leave it alone then?

(We have since gone no contact ever since the last time we hooked up, it was all very casual and I’ve forgotten about him plus I’ve been in a happy relationship ever since then. That is up until he popped up on social media and caught me off guard - my boyfriend knows about all this and told me to stay out of it).

Let’s say she starts off as a pretty girl always single (everyone has a boyfriend while she’s in HS) then transitions into her being in her late twenties and realized nothings changed. Those former friends are now married and she’s still…well single. Is it a reflection of her? The dating pool? I know it’s a case by case kind of thing but is it assumed it’s her choice vs lack of options? Or just bad luck on her side? Asking for a friend 🥴. I always assumed relationships would happen naturally & I don’t feel desperate enough to make it feel forced with any person that comes my way. Where I’m going with this: is she likely not pretty if she’s always single?

PS-not being conceited in saying I think I’m *attractive*, going based off feedback I’ve gotten.

No splinter wood, I want smooth wood, any suggestions?

I have once, it was a shadow monster ghost in a old abandoned house, it scared me quite a bit. Ran away yelling, no one believed me.

Artifical Christmas trees are expensive just to sit in the attic for 11 months of the year, so why not get your monies worth by adapting them to other events throughout the year. With careful planning you can have a showpiece all the year round to delight friends and family.

But for those of you who only want use it twice a year, which of these tree types would you go for?

(Disclaimer. This question is for entertainment purposes only and PP does not take any responsibility for marital break ups)

In Japan, a friendship marriage, refers to a type of marriage where two individuals enter into a marital relationship primarily for companionship and mutual support only. No romantic love/ sexual
attraction is required.
These marriages are often seen as a practical solution for individuals who desire companionship, emotional support, and the benefits that come with marriage, but may not necessarily seek a romantic or passionate relationship coz there is no sex involved. These marriages are based on friendship, trust, and shared values, rather than romantic love. In a friendship marriage, the couple may choose to live together, share household responsibilities, and support each other in various aspects of life. While they may not have a romantic or sexual relationship, they still value each other's company and enjoy spending time together.

I always think of myself as very straightforward and someone who appreciates the opportunity to be direct (direct in terms of honesty if not brevity) to make sure that things don’t get unnecessarily confusing. I suppose we can I say I believe very strongly in being direct. I absolutely have no interest in being evasive…

However, in practice, often times when met with specific situations, I’m surprised at how NON-ecstatic I am to discuss things. (Not thinking of anything in particular at the moment, I’m just reflecting overall)

I think I’m finding a discrepancy between my opinion of how direct I am and how actually direct I am in ALL situations. Of course it’s Fairly easy to be direct about something that you want to be directed, but of course.

And of course we’re all going to have behavioral practices that differ from our ideas of how we behave but I think usually there there’s a pretty strong overlap. Well I guess unless you’re totally delusional, but let’s take for granted most of us aren’t totally delusional..

I think im _not_ direct a lot more often than I think i am. At least I WANT to be. That’s important 😅

Anyhow, I don’t know what stops me… True, it’s uncomfortable but I think 78% of my life has been uncomfortable so I don’t see that as being the main culprit. I don’t know firsthand that information is way worse in the long run.

Maybe I’m fairly certain they’re not going to understand if I try to explain and so I’m just saving us both time by saying nothing 🤔 that’s possible.
