Search Results: they are not being themselves

This question came up because I saw an opinion of someone saying they would rather be single than be a housewife or go 50/50 with a partner. They said "housewives raise kids and do most things by themselves with no help from their husband because "he works." So my question is: Is it really harder to cook, clean, and handle the kids than work full time? Does it depend on the job? Etc.

Preteen girl actors who shaves her head & nails the portrayal of a little boy character could potentially give a more compelling performance than a real-life little boy. This is because:Preteen girl actors often have more acting experience & training compared to young boys. Girls may be more willing to fully commit to a character transformation, like shaving their head, to authentically embody the role. Talented young actresses can bring a level of nuance, emotional depth, & character development that may be challenging for some real-life little boys to match.2. Self-Esteem & Confidence Feminists raise a fair point that modern girls may have more self-esteem & confidence compared to little boys. This could be due to a variety of societal and cultural factors, such as:Increased emphasis on empowering young girls & promoting their self-worth. They argue Differences in how girls & boys are socialized & encouraged to express themselves. Societal Perceptions & Double Standards. Feminists also claim that they would make a valid observation about how society may be more accepting of certain behaviors or actions from little girls compared to little boys. There can be a double standard where girls are given more leeway or perceived as "cute" for engaging in behaviors that might be frowned upon or seen as unacceptable for little boys. This could create an environment where little girls feel more empowered to take risks, experiment, & showcase their unique personalities.4. Personality & Character The point about modern little boys appearing "bland & dull" compared to little girls is thought-provoking. It's possible that societal expectations, & other factors may contribute to some little boys being more constrained in expressing their full range of personality & character. In contrast, little girls may be encouraged to be more expressive, creative, & individualistic, leading to a difference in character & personality.

I strongly believe the power shall mostly rest in the states. I don't think California or New York should influence how Tennessee conducts itself for example.

I don't believe individual citizens themselves should be paying the federal government taxes directly. I believe it shall be the state only that collects taxes from the individuals/families and leaders from each state should hash it out together as to how they contribute to the federation.

Think of it this way, the United States is a collective of member STATES. The emphasis is on the states and them being united to combat interstate issues. I believe the federal government shall only get involve at the individual/civilian level if that person is a threat to states outside their own state of residency or if the constitution is violated.

Otherwise, if the person doesn't agree with their state of residency, they can always travel to another one that suits their political stances.

The premise of the question is pretty simple. Would you rather have a lover who lets you touch them however you want and expects the same out of you? Or one who wants you to ask before ever touching them and they always ask before they touch you?

Personally free use is way better in my opinion. I want my lover to feel as free to touch me as they feel free to touch themselves, kind of like how you can pick up a cuddly cat whenever you want and they just go with it! And there's just something about being so.. possessed by each other. You feel more one.

One thing about a more secular society is people are more likely to face shame as societal punishment vs. actual guilt.

Shame is an external force. Sometimes it is well justified for people who really do wrong. Other times the “shame” is socially constructed and evil on its own. The Maoist struggle sessions are a great example of this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struggle_session

Guilt is internal. It’s actually a much more powerful psychological motivator to make right or wrong decisions. Upbringing, communities and religious influences can directly impact guilt.

But some people are sociopaths/psychopaths and don’t feel any guilt. Hence they only worry about their reputation being harmed vs. whether or not they actually harmed someone.

Anyway I’m noticing this bizarre trend in modern society where we have become more “tolerant” of certain deviations but far less forgiving others. Less forgiveness too. Ironically I think this is driving some people to actually get worse on actions that harm others and themselves.
