Comment on Women – It’s Time to Take Responsibility For Our Happiness by Grace

Not sure I agree with the ‘idyllic women in groups’ bit – my experience of women in groups is that they delight in reputationally destryong each other and, more often than not, any ‘kindness’ or ‘community’ is nothing more than manipulative BS for some short term gain. They then just as quickly purge their new ‘BFF’ and move on…particularly if a man comes into their life. Let’s just be honest with ourselves – feminism has not been a net positive. Sure, 1st wave and 2nd wave, but since then, it’s all garbage and has pitted us against men and made us miserable. But we do it to ourselves. If we really DO what to take responsibility for our happiness, it’s time to stop drinking the ‘women are perfect, women are above criticism, women are always victims, women can and should have it all’ kool-aid. Be better; better friends, better mother’s, better partners. Create your own story and version of happiness in your life, not some unattainable media BS version, so faux-tough girl empty crap. Admit we need our men. Admit we might love to raise kids, admit we have made ourselves pretty damn unapproachable and unattractive to the opposite sex. Revel in being a FEMALE. There is true power in it. In short – cut the crap and grow up and get over ourselves: that would be true female empowerment it seems to me. Want to be an engineer? Stop whiny about patriarchy and MAKE IT HAPPEN. Want to be a mother and raise amazing kids? DO IT and be proud. Want to make your man happy so he’s happy with you? GO FOR IT. Be feminine. And cut all the rest of the bullsh*t. We’ve had enough of it for decades now.

Hi Karin,

I wanted to let you know how immensely helpful your two articles on yielding have been for me. I found a thing called Gene Keys. In my Gene Key, it states that my power is the power of yielding. At first, the comparison I have is being in line as a Greek Goddess and watching the others get gifts of Storms and Fire, while I got the gift of being walked all over. I searched the internet looking for different ways I can reframe the term yielding to see it as a gift, not a curse, when I came across your post. It was extraordinary how a simple blog post can push old programming out. I’m now able to see that yielding is my gift. Thank you so much.
