“people don’t want mothers to openly talk about the seething, burning, all-consuming rage they feel towards their children because everyone expects women to be perfect desire-less self-effacing saints, but let’s be real, doesn’t every mother find herself constantly overcome with fiery hatred towards the tiny evil narcissists with whom she is trapped in a house? doesn’t every mother wish she could just smash dishes in front of her kids and rip up their toys and slam their doors so hard the frames break without being judged by non-mothers who just don’t understand how hard it is?”
actually first of all you’re literally insane and should never have had children, second of all what the fuck is wrong with you, third of all what is with this trend of publishing articles about how “unfair” it is that parents are expected to behave like functional adults even when their kids are annoying? like actually no it isn’t misogyny that people expect mothers not to respond to normal child behavior by flying into a blind rage. “what about my personal wellbeing—” what about your child’s personal wellbeing. if you chose to raise a child you DO NOT get to act like a martyr because that child annoys you sometimes.
A healthy lifestyle apparently means being unable to escape processed sugar even in your fucking eggs
The push for veganism has nothing to do with saving the planet and everything to do with capitalists wanting to increase their profits and power. You can’t patent cow’s milk or meat, but you can patent your milk-substitute formula. You can patent your meat replacement process. You can’t patent a chicken egg but you can patent your soy egg replacement formula. It also serves another purpose of finally putting the nail in the coffin of local produce and will force you to rely on corporations and their factories for affordable food
Also another tip, this one is about conversations. There’s nothing wrong with bringing a personal anecdote to relate to what the other person is talking about. The key though, is to quickly reiterate why you brought up that anecdote and then circle back to the other person’s initial point.
This fully communicates that you’re A. Listening B. Understand and can relate to the topic and C. You aren’t trying to make things about yourself and still prioritize what the other person has to say(to most people)
