Song lyrics change meaning depending on when you hear them. I love art. 🥰

This is such a beautiful analysis of connections 🥹. I think the speaker over-emphasizes the value of what he calls “perfection,” but the ideas presented are absolutely worth reflecting upon. I don’t know if “perfect” is better than “forever,” but as consolation prizes go … we could do worse.

The context was a hypothetical scenario presented in a previous comment for the sake of trying to understand why some men answered the original question the way they did. The hypothetical man’s needs/boundaries weren’t the point because the original question was about men being generous to women.

I mean … read my comments 🤷🏽‍♂️. Any of them. I don’t waste my energy on disingenuous comments. I didn’t say anything negative about single mothers. In my example, a man has chosen to be generous to one. It was a woman in my replies who automatically called the single mother a “harlot.”

Because queer men couldn’t possibly have any interest in the topic of generosity towards women. Bisexual and pansexual men do not exist. And none of us have women in our lives who we care about. Weren’t you dragging someone else for making it about relationships/sex?

It’s disrespectful to point out a scenario in which a man might be generous towards a woman in the context of a question about why some men aren’t? 🤔 I used a single mother as an example of a woman a man might choose to extend generosity to. And then I asked a follow-up question.

Why does the girlfriend/wife have to be a “harpy” just because she has boundaries? Why does the single mother have to be a “harlot” just because she accepts help? My interest in the discussion was in earnest. The goal was neither to defend men nor to denigrate women. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’m not straight. My question was sincere. It’s less about whether or not a woman would “allow” something and more a question of why this hypothetical man would choose to disrupt the peace within his relationship by choosing another woman’s needs over his own woman’s boundaries.

Isn’t that at least *partially* because of the kinds of women those guys choose? Let’s say a man is regularly giving money to a single mother (to whom he is not related) for her kids. Is it far fetched to think that a woman he’s involved with might become suspicious about that?

The original conversation is framed poorly, but your comment sent me on a small mental tangent. I (genuinely) wonder how many women would be comfortable being with a man who was noticeably “generous” towards other women.

When I say yes out of fear, guilt, or survival-mode people-pleasing, I’m not being kind to myself 👀 I’m betraying me to keep the peace. . But when my yes comes from alignment and they’re meeting me there 👏🏾👏🏾 that kindness flows both ways. That yes is a gift not a cost! #bekind

I knew a guy whose ability to draw blood was (by his own admission) a direct result of his own inwardly-aimed cruelty. People who are unkind to themselves don’t have to pull from “nowhere.”

1 of the best art conversations I’ve had in the past year was w/ a passionate musician. I’ve never dated a band member who dragged me all over the country, expecting me to be at his beck & call. I wonder what those arguments are like. 😂😂😂

I wrote a poem inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream (among other things).

I wish I could be paid to resist my own petty impulses. 😆😆😆
