"Everything that everyone is afraid of has already happened: The fragility of capitalism, which we don't want to admit; the loss of the empire of the United States; and American exceptionalism. In fact, American exceptionalism is that we are exceptionally backward in about fifteen different categories, from education to infrastructure. But we're in a stage of denial: we want to re-establish things as they used to be, to put the country back where it was." - James Hillman

    Women have yet to advance their mindset to the 21st Century and I’ll Tell You Why

     In the 21st Century women are still dependent upon men.

    Women are still buying into the hype that they must get married and have babies they can’t afford to take care of especially if the baby’s daddies walk out on them.

    Women still buy into the hype that they can’t exist without a man.

    Women are still buying into the till death do us part as is evident that they stay with men who abuse them and their children through beatings and/or rape.

    Women get married before obtaining skills allowing them to support themselves without the added salary of a man, welfare, food stamps and Section 8 forcing their children to grow up in poverty and horrible neighborhoods because they didn’t allow themselves to reach the age of maturity before getting married.

    Women still marry men they settle for and not their life mates.

    Women are still buying into a woman isn’t complete unless she has a man in her bed. And men know this and as long as women continue to give men power over them they will continue to remain under the thumbs of these men! For example, men still have the final say on women’s reproduction organs, how much pay they can earn in the job market, how far they can advance in corporate America, how much or how little alimony and child support they can receive, and even how to behave if they are the wife of a military officer or politician just to name a few professions. Some women are even told how to think and how to dress and they do as they are told.

    I attended a party a few weeks ago and sat at a table with people I didn’t know. One woman invited another woman on an outing and the woman who was invited replied, I’ll have to ask my husband not I’ll have to see if my husband has something on the calendar for us to do. To me, this is not an adult relationship but a father daughter relationship.

    Is there any wonder why women are slow in the climbing the corporate ladder? Women prove themselves weak, ineffective, dependent, and needy as long as they buy into the mindset of their mothers and grandmothers and great grandmothers.

    1. We use only 10 percent of our brains.

    2. “Flashbulb memories” are precise, detailed and persistent.

    3. It’s all downhill after 40 (or 50 or 60 or 70).

    4. We have five senses.
    By the way, have you seen the taste map of the tongue, the diagram showing that different regions are sensitive to salty, sweet, sour or bitter flavors? Also a myth.

    5. Brains are like computers.

    6. The brain is hard-wired.

    7. A conk on the head can cause amnesia.

    8. We know what will make us happy.

    9. We see the world as it is.

    10. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus.

     

     

     

     

  • We keep hearing that women are surging ahead in school and work, and that men are falling behind. What we don't hear is that most of these discrepancies come from race.

  • When women kill, which they don't do very often, the motive can be quite different from their male counterparts. Learn what situations make women snap, making murder feel like the only option they have.

    Why men commit more murders then women is a loaded question. It probably has something to do with a natural, evolved propensity for violence needed to gain social status, resources and control over a sexual mate. Women, on the other hand, are the natural nurturers and caretakers which could make them less "hard-wired" for violence.

  • RACISM explains a lot of white opposition to Barack Obama, say some Democrats. It would be foolish to dismiss this argument out of hand. Lexington walked into a shop in Millington, Tennessee last week and asked the white gentleman behind the counter what he thought of the 44th president. "He's a @!$%#ing @!$%#," came the reply. The shopkeeper then helpfully explained that he was "not bashful" about expressing his opinions.
