Need Advice or SupportWorry about the war in Ukraine
I guess all saw the Zelensky/Trump/Vance meeting or at least heard about it. I've worried about the war in Ukraine for years now. I know it's nothing compared to what it's like to actually live in Ukraine, but still, it worries me greatly. I've sent humanitarian help to Ukraine as that's all I can really do... I'm especially terrified about the stories (both past and present) about Russian soldiers raping and killing wherever they go. And now this meeting in the Oval Office... It was surreal seeing an American president talk to another president like he's a small child. It was bullying tactics. It was disgusting. And the hypocrisy!
I'm certain the rest of us have to prepare that the war will come to us. Europe has been too comfortable.I just hope we can work fast enough.
I think I'd just like to discuss/talk about it. It's hard right now, because I don't have a job and therefore don't see a lot of people on a daily basis with whom I can talk about this. Share my disbelief. And at the same time I know I can't do much...
What do you fellow Ovarites think of all this?
Yes!! Especially the type of laughter between women that comes from being able to see XYs from a perspective they’re too cognitively deficient to see themselves...
I love this. They think that putting on a dress equals the soul and experiences of being a woman.
It is not.
Libfems think so little of womanhood that they think it is perfectly fine to give the pretense of womanhood away to males.
I love her!! First time I saw her was a debate about what a woman is (rolls eyes) between her and Heather Peto and Julia destroyed him.
So true. I’m heterosexual and struggle to form wide-ranging friendships because 1) re men, how do you befriend men genuinely? Never occurred to me and 2) I’m very much a “this is what I think” person which turns off a lot of women who are conditioned to always hype up the other person and not express unpleasant opinions unapologetically. Still, I’ve been the few close friends type of person and I’ve been madly in love with a couple of men, one man who knew me for over half of my life and there is STILL something about sitting next to a woman you adore that brings a feeling of comfort and ease that no man in my life has ever. Is it the same intensity and being in love for years? Well, no. Is it something else entirely that has somehow it’s own special, greater trust and feeling of being safe? Yes. Do I think a biological male is capable of feeling this toward a woman? No.
You can pretend to be us.
You can put it into law that your paperwork says that you are us.
You can force apologies, through gritted teeth, from people that may or may not have said that you are not us, depending on your own idiosyncratic interpretation of their words.
You can take our places in universities and jobs.
But you will never be us.
Deep down, you know that, and that’s why you keep pushing. You keep wishing that someday, if you push enough, if you get enough people to be your yes-men, if you get enough people to kowtow, then you will be us.
But you also know that that’s not going to happen. You will never be us. It’s impossible. It cannot happen. That’s why you’re so angry and frustrated - because no matter how much you achieve, it never will be enough.
