Use your imagination and knowledge...

What do you think is the first thing the first woman said and what it meant? The specific language is not relevant, might have been mumbles... but we all know women like to talk talk talk...

Not saying you can’t care about both. But what’s more important for you?

The economy and hyperinflation impacts everybody. It especially impacts the working class and minorities who are struggling just to get by day by day.

Sure some people are more fortunate than others. If you are high income earner and/or were given raises that matched inflation then you could care less about this. Some people are financially supported by others and don’t have to worry about paying rent, mortgage, putting food on the table, etc. So maybe this hasn’t hurt you but you would have to be blind and/or very arrogant to see how bad things have gotten inflation wise in the last 4 years.

Abortion is a sticky topic. I am not going to judge any woman on her who had a past abortion or plans on getting one.

But I just have to ask is having an unplanned pregnancy some sort of an inevitable event for women? Is it just 100% unavoidable that this is going to happen to you?

You want to have sex, fine. I also know that no contraceptive is 100% reliable. But really if you and your partner are responsible the chances of having an accident are very low nowadays. Not impossible but not likely.

I just don’t understand why abortion is such a huge deal given the problem can be avoided in the place if you are a responsible adult.

Anyway I plan on getting some long rants and angry responses on the second part of what I said above. But just saying.

Betty Boop was the first case of cartoon sëx symbol who was used as a form of approval. Betty Boop is one of America's oldest cultural appropriations. Animators depicted Betty Boop as a white entertainer, but truth be told, the character was inspired by a black woman. Her vocal trademark, “Boop Oop A Doop,” and her contoured figure in a form-fitting dress trace back to a black woman by the name of Esther Jones.

Esther “Baby Esther” Jones was a jazz singer known for her “baby” singing style who performed at Harlem’s Cotton Club in the 1920s.

White jazz singer and entertainer Helen Kane allegedly appropriated Jones’s singing style after attending her cabaret act in 1928.

Fastforward years later and Jessica Rabbit became a sëx symbol but if you look closely at her features. She models features similar to a black woman then the so called "Veronica Lake" inspiration. If you look at her body, most often black women carry the big butt and breasts. If you look at her face, she has thick lips and her nose is flat even though animators almost blurred it out.

So as an adjective the term “weird” doesn’t sound too bad:

suggesting something supernatural; uncanny.
"the weird crying of a seal"

But as a verb the definition of “weird” sounds really bad:

induce a sense of disbelief or alienation in someone. Example: "blue eyes weirded him out, and Ivan's were especially creepy"

Anyway I guess it all comes to down whether you find a person unpredictable or not to label them “weird”.

So say for example you see some creepy looking stranger walking down the road muttering “weird” things and making odd gestures then that’s obviously bad weird. He might not be actively doing anything wrong/criminal. But he puts people on edge nonetheless.

However what about seeing a talented yet bizarre musician perform or getting into a conversation with interesting yet very eccentric conspiracy theorist. These are “cool” weird people. Their strange and uncanny but they aren’t threatening.
They are highly unorthodox so it’s not something you see everyday. Maybe their crazy, maybe their geniuses or maybe both. But they keep things interesting from time to time.

Yet those bizarre (yet harmless) people still get labeled “weird” just like the creepy guy walking down the street gets called “weird”.

Anyway from my observations women typically have a much more negative definition of “weird” then men do. They see “weird” as more threatening.
