Another Heads Up

Marianne BlackAmerican Mothers Political Party
As an abuse survivor and mother, I would like to support this organization, however I need to know, does this organization support and protect men and fathers in the same way? Please tell me whether this organization assumes that victims are female and abusers are male, or not~ gender prejudice has no place in a movement that is for protecting the rights of victims. I can not find a clear answer.

    • American Mothers Political Party Our organization supports Mothers...bottom line. Until we have gender equality in all facets of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness then we can talk about fathers.

    • Marianne Black wow okay thanks for your honesty. We can talk about whatever we want to talk about, since this is America; I have suffered abuse, was raped, was nearly murdered, and the 'system' had no care for me or for my son. I have been sexually harassed too many times to count. But believing that it is a gender problem and not a Human Behavior problem is one of the reasons it does not get resolved. People who have prejudice in their hearts ARE the people who released my abuser; they are the same kind of person who released my cousin's wife after she beat her daughter and threatened to kill her father. The protection of human beings is what matters. Misogyny and misandry are the same, grouping people into one category, not seeing the big picture. That is exactly what they want, that way they can keep it all going. Abused men are just as screwed as abused women.

Healing Shame

http://www.psychsight.com/ar-shame.html

"So the work of healing your shame is as profound as are the potentials of your soul. It reaches down into the heart of your concept of yourself and of your belief in the possibilities of life, alone, and in the company of others."

D. Shane Crouse

"I dug this hole with which I meant to finally plant flowers for you... I was shocked to unearth your remains... I thought there would always be a time, always a means. I watched the hands of the clock move forward in their predictable fashion and forgot the life that was living upon either side of them. I waited until there was nothing left to wait for..."

Speaks For Itself

Gender Bulls**t (Or, get over yourself, your gender's not better than mine)

 Nice look at the gender constructs that still exist in people's imaginations, even in 2011. Of course as we know by watching Star Trek, women will still wear beehive hairdos and mini skirts in the future, and men will still be in charge of the ship... as long as they're relatively handsome, that is.

Interesting comments on this one as well.

DESIRE
Without Desire, nothing is conceived.  All that birth of new life, new possibilities, new hope begins with desire the for union, for experience, for pleasure, for knowledge.  Desire is the engine of creation, and profound, authentic desire is profoundly connected to the life force.  But desire can be sublimated, denied or perverted into lust or superficial acquisition, even hoarding where authentic desire has become mistrusted.  What do you truly desire, deep in your soul?  Real love, meaningful work, engaging creativity, beauty, travel, knowledge?  This card encourages you to connect with that deep source, and like a rose opening to the sun, focus on your true desire and make it manifest in your life.

Sometimes

What we think we are doing is not really what we are doing.

“I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.” Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Cure For Stupid?

Heard recently that they have isolated what causes prejudice and dominant behavior in humans. The thing that causes confidence in a person to master a task, or initiate a new task or idea, is a gene that affects the amygdala, and it gets mutated in some, which turns dominating a task,for them, into dominating and controlling other people. So they see people as things to conquer, like mastering golf or doing a job. It's where sexism and racism come from, dictators to the sweet voiced control freak you eat breakfast with. They have found the mutation in all races tested so far, and in both genders. (Explains a lot...)

Adult Behavior

If you don't know what is so sacred about a union between two people, then you might want to wait until you're a little older to try being in a romantic relationship.
