Post No. 2,819 - Some interesting reading/viewing

Here are some llinks that might of interest or value:


If you appreciated this post, please consider promoting it - there are some links below, and there’s also Instagram.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).

Post No. 2,803 - Some interesting reading/viewing

Here are some llinks that might of interest or value:
  • “Answering ACCUSATIONS about My Palestine Activism.. (I am so done with this sh*t.)”   https://youtu.be/yQBlo_hQrGU?si=-oMR0ZViCDWQ48Vr   The comment to the effect that one cannot be spiritual and ignore massive human rights abuses resonated strongly with me - but the whole video is, in my opinion, excellent (especially the passion - I have subscribed)      
  • “‘Sliding doors’: the groundbreaking study charting the lives of 167 Australians over 34 years | Australia news | The Guardian”   https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/jun/06/sliding-doors-the-groundbreaking-study-charting-the-lives-of-167-australians-over-34-years   “...   the erosion of the postwar social contract, and the fraying of public services and the social safety net hit some people harder than others.   ...   “the odds are stacked against those who can’t seem to break free of poverty and disadvantage, no matter how hard they try.”   Many of the policy recommendations the researchers made still remain: fair and adequate income support; accessible and responsive health and support services for parents from non-English speaking backgrounds; reinvestments in safe, secure public housing, accessible public transport infrastructure, and more.”   This has been known by those living it (especially here in Victoria, where Kennett savaged society in the 90s) and advocates ever since it started happening, but this evidence will greatly aid the understanding of many and the efforts to accomplish to change for the better    
  • “Autistic Anger”   https://youtu.be/Dr85NtK7j7U?si=AzeieLOvIAyGwH6w   I consider she was correct to call out the man in the park - and for the reasons she stated. Yes, he may have had problems, as pointed out in the comments, but that does not give him the right to interfere with other people’s valid life activities. This has wider application, which I why I have included it here, rather than in the neurodivergent section     
  • this week’s videos from the revised archetype character arc being developed here are:    “Love is not enough: how to empower the next generation”   https://youtu.be/3Zlo9gZmdMs?si=3RvEJPoNIfD0XCe9      “True, empowering parents, bosses and other leaders know how to trust, inspire and strengthen others. But can they resist the darker draw of their shadow rulers?   ...   Do you have what it takes to be an empowering leader, or have you been unknowingly captured by the inner Figurehead or the inner Vampire?”      “Do you have this surprising skill shared by all true leaders?”   https://youtu.be/bKUC2xG-v8o?si=5MHH0pV0Ff1tJS_k   “Whether you're a parent, CEO, team leader or simply the boss of your own head, there's one skill you need to develop. But be warned: it's not going to be easy.”

Post No. 2,789 - Some interesting reading/viewing

Here are some llinks that might of interest or value:
  • “She Died, Was Told the Future, Now Has Dreams About Disasters that Come True (NDE)”   https://youtu.be/XiLk2qjfmCY?si=9sRdzNrV1u4nRrEN   As someone who had (vague) dreams of plane crashes for a few years before 9/11, I can relate to this - but I am impressed by the detail she got, unlike me      
  • also from YouTube:
    • I know a fair few people in the possible audience of this blog may have an interest in ancient Egypt, so this may be of interest:   “NEW Study Reveals LOST BRANCH Of The NILE”   https://youtu.be/B5V1M6Wh_1o?si=jyAJyF8F1sg8TJJb    

    • from YouTube and elsewhere on neurodivergence: 
      • “How to make Content Warnings accessible”   https://youtu.be/6aKB_GUCTEo?si=zvnFsB3hg93tCF83   This is another excellent video from an excellent channel - and I am somewhat stunned by the comments on the earlier video (which I thought was just stating the obvious) which led to this video      

      • “Too Many Interests & Not Enough Follow Through? Try This”   https://youtu.be/Op2BOncsxuM?si=7UFk60g-QzYVQHmb   I am a little wary of the “don’t choose to be a victim” aspect of this otherwise excellent video

Post No. 270 - Sugar'n'spice and hero/warrior stereotypes/archetypes

By now most people who read this blog will probably have noticed that I don't much hold with stereotypes - e.g., that all young people have a wild, rebellious and irresponsible period (or, indeed, that such a period is necessary in order to have a "satisfactory" life). I particularly don't hold with the stereotype of girls being "sugar and spice, and all things nice", and boys being something else. "Niceness" in all its many manifestations can occur in any [1] gender - as can nastiness in all its many and varies manifestations.

Now, the thing about stereotypes is that the perceptions and meaning or significance attributed to archetypes can be influenced by said stereotypes. Hence, for instance, the archetype of "the hero", or "the warrior" (who can be a spiritual or psychic warrior [2] ), may be presumed to be male, whereas in actual fact the hero or warrior can be female, bigendered, etc.

This is one of the things I like about Kerr Cuhulain's interesting Order of Scathach [3]: women appear to hold an equal status.

I also like the emphasis on honour, and may yet join this Order ... when I have time!
Another speculation that I've had is about the stereotype that men will watch physically violent films (such as war films), and that women will watch emotionally violent films (which is how I view many so-called "dramas" - and I know from personal experience how much long lasting, deep damage can be done as a result of living through real-life drama). There are women, perhaps those who are in tune with the "hero" (which should be heroine, in this case [4]) archetype, and watch films that other women may dislike as being "too violent". I know men who love watching dramas - and other films considered "chick flicks", such as light romantic comedies. No, those men are NOT all gay (another stereotype). My speculation is: perhaps what we feel most comfortable watching, is what we feel we would be most able to control in real life.

Hence, women who do not know how to use agility and speed in a physical confrontation to overcome strength and size may feel more comfortable watching dramas - particularly if they are familiar with counselling or personal growth work. Men who have a similar familiarity, and good verbal skills, may feel similarly comfortable with such films. Perhaps - all these are given as general trends, or an overview, if you will: every single example will have exceptions! - women who watch predominantly light-hearted romantic comedies lack both sets of skills ... or simply desire something that they consider will give pleasure.

Sometimes people desire to escape from what they encounter in everyday life (such as an abusive relationship leading to liking light-hearted romantic comedies, or a soldier liking dramas as an escape from physical warfare.

On the other hand, people may continue watching films as part of working through something - hence, for instance, someone who has experienced a great deal of drama may continue to watch the same as a way of working through it, or someone who has had a major war experience (perhaps in a previous life) may similarly work through it in the next life by watching war films. Sometimes such films may be watched as a way of drawing in negative units associated with that for clearing. [5]

The point is, there are many motivations for watching something, and one should NEVER judge another for what they watch on the basis of a stereotype.

Love, light, hugs and blessings
Gnwmythr
(pronounced "new-MYTH-ear")

Notes:

  1. There are more than just two genders, which is why I have not used the word "either".
  2. This is, in fact, one of the founding principles for the rangers of the Inner Place.
  3. Pronounced "sky-aa", this is the name of a female warrior who trained other Celtic warriors including the legendary Cú Chulainn - see here for more.
  4. I do not hold with using gender neutral pronouns such as actor for male and female instead of using actor and actress. My experience in the workplace is that such may become a code for bigots - hence, for instance, chairman is used for men (with the excuse that the origin of the word was not associated with a particular gender, which is true, but false as it ignores the changes that happened to language in the last century as women seek to be treated equally), and chairperson is used for women - when it should be chairwoman. In other words, it gives the bigots a chance to be lazy and get out of realistic thinking and consideration of changes that need to be made to a workplace on the basis of convenience.
  5. My experience of this world is that it is a violent place - a psychically violent place, with most of that psychic violence associated with words and drama.
