Men and Their Insecurities

To All God's Children,


-->The ones who are exceptionally insecure about their masculinity are incredibly narcissistic, are demeaning to women, and have self-esteem issues. I can speak from experience because I have a friend with a gay brother and he’s the “Golden Child” for his parents so they treat him like he’s made of gold. He’s incredibly pampered and I think some of his mannerisms are mistaken for being homosexual. I could imagine why he would have a complex though considering his brother is gay and according to him the family “f--k up” which I assume he doesn’t want to be.
I think men are more likely to be insecure about appearing gay. The ones who struggle with it become narcissistic trying to find evidence for why they are better than women or just different trying to improve their unstable self-esteem. Also, if you have low self-esteem and you think other people don’t like you according to self-fulfilling prophecy you will unleash bad attitudes and treatment from other people unto you. It’s funny that “men rule the world” and “men don’t cry” and all this BS about men being so much better than women over the ages. They turned us into whores and sex toys or housewives and basically slaves or emotional drama queens throwing the free thinking ones in insane asylums. After all that misogyny and men are the ones with the mental complex. They are afraid of another man getting to close behind them because they’re worried their sexual orientation will be compromised. It’s pathetic. That’s why God gave us the pain of childbirth because we’re tougher.
In my opinion, narcissism creates solipsism where the person thinks that others are an extension of their mind. A person did not exist until he (the solipsistic male) met her. It’s like Mark Twain and his family; whenever he came home, the wife and children all had to centered their lives and conversation around him. He is free to say and do what he wants to her because she is an extension of his mind and not a real person. The social roles of women have unfortunately adapted this narcissistic or solipsistic stance. Not only in the personal life (women are whores, wives or dykes if they don’t want men), but women are extension of males also in the workforce (women are nurses for doctors or secretary for a CEO). There are more women in the workforce than men. Great, that’s all we need. Historically and even now they rape, kill, abuse and virtually enslave us and now they want to stay at home with the kids. Men are still in higher leading positions while women toll away and bear the bunt of the work.
In this society with its stringent sex roles, I would say women are freer in terms of self-expression. Women can dress how they want, dance how they want and wear their hair however they want. It’s men who are trapped mentally and it may even be a jealousy of the “masculine” male that would drive one to mistreat a woman. I admire the men who come out of the closet but not just with sexual orientation, but the one’s who are willing to wear whatever and be whomever they want without degrading women. That’s freedom.


Peace be with you

What does it mean to be smart?

To All God's Children,


-->Poors, minorities and the underrepresented. Minorities, the underrepresented, and poors. I’m tried of these categories. There’s an obvious bias in careers based on race and gender. Certain races are more likely to be scientists, certain genders are more like to be nurses and school teachers and still a certain type of race and gender is more likely to be basketball players. I bet I can predict the races and genders that came to mind when you were reading the last sentenced. You probably thought white people (or white men in specific), women for the second, and black males for the final biased career.
I still say there’s nothing wrong with this. Okay, so many blacks end up in entertainment careers. So what? Why should we downplay a gift that we can give the world? Music, dance, and sport. If you ask me, after watching Lebron James dunk several baskets from the opposite side of the court I would say it takes some level of genius in order to do it.
Why is brilliance in science and math the only “real” smarts? I wish schools would reconsider making cuts to arts and music, and some even sports in an attempt to teach students math and science. Without proper exposure how is a student supposed to find their true calling?

As for the school systems and employers, it would be nice if employers respected HBCUs as much as state schools and other crappy traditional community colleges (not to say all community colleges are bad; there was one in my old neighborhood that had one of the top culinary schools in America). HBCUs are just as good and sometimes better then these other colleges they just aren’t getting the respect they deserve.
I wish people respected health related jobs more than they did. The “feminine” jobs in the health system have remained relatively stable while testosterone ran masulineconomic financial collapse of the seeming second Great Depression not only affects men but women.

The mainstream race think they are so smart and educated inventing all these things and ignore that their inventions cause just as much trouble as it helps. For example, hospitals have many great doctors, mostly White Americans. But what about the car accident victims that end up there frequently from the White people made vehicles that claim a substantial amount of lives?
What about the cancer stick or cigarettes that are produced by White people that send people to the hospitals for lung cancer? What about all this scientifically generated and carcinogenic enriched food that we eat that gives us cancer and sends us to the hospital? Our desire to scientifically develop a better world for White people by White people is the same as the masculine run economics taking the females down. Why for every “genius” invention of theirs is there a thousand other unfortunate things that result from it? What’s the point?
Who’s smarter - an Advanced or an Indigenous person? A person who tries to drastically improve his live, stresses himself out and ends up dying alone and broken in his old age from some shitty disease that didn’t exist thousands of years ago? Or a person who lives in tune with nature so the next generation will have a planet to live on? Again I beg of you to tell me who’s better off? Who is smarter?


Peace be with you

Labels

Understand God's Children,


-->We all have labels. What gender are you? What race are you? What sexual orientation, political ideology, personality type, hair and eye color, nationality, occupation, etc. are you? We’re even labeled by numbers for our phones, our addresses, our social security and even our age. I’ve decided to shed my labels. I don’t know what religion I am. I don’t know if I’m liberal or not. I’m sick of all these labels. I’m just a being that exists for the given time frame – that’s it.

Are my beliefs from French existentialism?
Am I a material monist because I like Spinoza’s philosophies? No, because I don’t want a label for the way I think. Being perceived as a black female there are two times the labels and stereotypes and I’m tired. I don’t want to fight it, but I just want to flow with it, to rise above it. My philosophies and theories are my mind; they are me – not all these damn labels. Assigning objects to categories and names really limits the description of it and the true nature of it. It’s yet another fault of language.

The Superficiality of Male versus Female

To All God's Children,


-->No separation between males and females. There are males who look like females and females that look like males; there are both male and female transvestites and cross dressers; there are men attracted to men, women attracted to women, and people who are attracted to both; there are men who act “feminine” and women who act “masculine”; there are men who are called pseudo-hermaphrodites who are born without testosterone receptors on their organs so appear as women (are they male or female); most importantly there are people born with both genitals of males and females.
Are we all just one gender meant to take on different tasks of the birthing process? That’s just a question for thought, but honestly there’s not too much that separate people by gender. We can claim that homosexuality and lesbianism is rare or unnatural, but it exists in many cultures around the world most of which have never made contact with each other. How do you explain its prominence? It’s possible that we all have personality over gender which decides how we act. Some men have a little more “feminine” qualities in their personality and some women have a little more “masculine” qualities in their personality. But does that make her any less of a female; him any less of a male?

The Overlap of Gender Roles

To All God's Children,


-->What people don’t understand is that our interests are formed according to the personality traits we receive from both our mother and our father. So what people define as masculine or feminine characteristics is superficial. Of course there will be men that are interested in makeup and women who are interested in sports and cars.

Sex Roles and Gender Wars

To All God's Children,


-->The social roles of women aren’t more inferior to men’s role. I think that the features that are more prevalent in men were uplifted and the features more prevalent to a woman were belittled. What’s wrong with being compassionate and loving? What’s wrong with the need to stay home and take care of your children? It requires a maturity level and discipline to do it right. The same applies to jobs. It isn’t so much that it’s a problem that jobs are divided between “female” jobs and male jobs. It’s the difference in pay that should be the concern. Working women should not make fun of homemakers considering working women face the same negative attitudes from people who block women from being leaders. These attitudes can lie in the subconscious and sometimes they can influence behavior. You may have a negative attitude and not realize it.
