JUST A THOUGHT - DOES THE 'AVERAGE WOMAN' FEELS COMFORTABLE IN HER OWN SKIN?

-





Of course, not being a woman, much less or more, the 'average woman', I cannot really know if the 'average woman' feels comfortable in her 'own skin.' Which is why this post is really just a thought.

 It is a thought based on my observations of women and having listened to and engaging them in conversations over the years.

 The conclusion I have come to, is that no, the 'average woman' does not feel comfortable in her own skin. Truth to tell, she might not even really knows what her own skin is or ought to be.  She might, it seems to me, be aspiring to acquire the idealised skin which  she has been conditioned, nurtured by her own kind, yes, other women, and by society -for which we could substitute the the media, the advertising industry, the music industry, and the repository of what womanhood, again, preceding generations of women, poetry about women, and religious texts - decreed that it ought to be.


Yes, from what I have observed and learned about women, it is my contention that, being, becoming a woman is a much more complex state of being than being or becoming a man. It is a more confused and confused challenge than that which confronts the boy developing into becoming a man or achieving manhood.

 So, why do I think or believe that the average woman does not feel comfortable in her own skin or body? As I said, it is just a thought; a thought based on my observations of the other half of the specie. Who has become probably the most admired, most sought after, the most 'to live for and to die' for stimulus the male of the human specie can probably ever experience. Which is probably not all that surprising, considering that woman is really the giver of life, as well as of intense pleasure; at least, for heterosexual man.

 And despite all of this irresistibility of the female of the human specie, yet do I believe that the better half of the male of the specie, is, on the whole, not as happy and contented as one would have expected her to be, or, indeed, she deserves to be.

 Why?

JUST A THOUGHT - ARE PRISONS A SYMBOL OF A PUNITIVE SOCIETY? THE END....

By increasing the number of statutes by which citizens can be criminalised. So as to provide a sufficient supply of inmates for the prison population.   As we have seen, for example, in the United States of America. The so-called most advanced country in the world.   But also undoubtedly, probably the most retrograde one, when it comes to the manufacturing of criminal laws, and administration of 'crime and punishment.'  Since, not only does it make having more prisoners as a necessity, in order to keep the private companies holding and processing them, and the 'law enforcement departments, in business.  But it also encourages corruption amongst all those involved in the crime and punishment industry, through the quest to generate income and profits. Objectives which they seek to achieve by brutalising inmates and increasing their prospects for having to pursing a criminal career.  By ensuring that inmates being discharged from the prison industry are l

THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.4.

   It is unlikely that things were ever getting better. But, at least the Palestinians were alive, they had their homes, their roads, water, electricity, the basic requirements for having at least a basic life.  They had more freedom of movement in their 'reservations' than they have now, with the storm troopers crawling over and around them as so many wasps.  So, yes, it is likely that, for the majority of Palestinians who are being forced to pay the price the Zionist Israeli State has decided to extract from them, the attack of 7th October might be considered to have been a tactical mistake by Hamas and the other Resistance Fighters. And yet, it could be the case that the overall and eventual outcome of the attack for the Palestinian people will be a positive one. It has broken the then impasse, the stalemate in progressing the realisation of a sovereign and viable Palestinian State.  It has forced the nations and international organisations, ordinary people of the world to t

  So, what are my thoughts about Hamas' unprecedented attack on parts of Israel, which has resulted in hundreds of men, women and children, some of them soldiers, being killed and thousands of Israelis becoming shocked and traumatised as they have probably never experienced before? And what are my thoughts about Israel's Zionist government's brutal and merciless counter-attack on, not just Hamas' fighters and military, but on all Palestinians and their social, economic and essential infrastructures in both Gaza and the West Bank? The egg did not come 'out of nowhere', and neither did the chicken. Everything of substance and significance has a context which can help us to define and understand it more than we could or would be able to do, without that context.  This principle also applies to Hamas' attack on Israel, just as how it applies to Israel's subsequent and continuing attack on the Palestinians. And so it is that Hamas' attack on Israel was a

CONTEMPLATIVE MOODS - IF LIFE IS A B..... THEN CHECK OUT SOME CLASSICAL MUSIC BEFORE YOU DIE!

So, if life were a bitch and then we die, need we say or do or think anymore of the matter? If life were a bitch and then we die, might we not surmise that it be our duty to screw life before we die, that we might gain some small pleasure, some small satisfaction from our life the life we live, before we die? But of course, some of us might as some point, consider that it is life which screws the living and not the living who does the screwing. And, in the knowledge that the term screwing can have an ambivalent meaning, in that it can mean participating in an event from which we derive pleasure, as well as being used as a pejorative term of abuse.  So it is that life and living can be both pleasurable and miserable to us who are required to endure it. To live it, to savour it. And so it is that I wish to comment on the beauty of music, with which we can fill many moments of our lives and our living with. Music, said the song, is the food of love. Yet, we need not
