why can't we speak up?

 Why is it so hard to speak up?

 

We don’t know how a person may respond. We also get inundated with messages that basically tells us to shut up. What is society so afraid of if we were to speak?

 

Are we really ok?

 

This is a message to everyone, it doesn’t matter who you are; We can be going through all kinds of things; jobs, school, drugs, alcohol, family, relationships, cancer, loss of loved ones, discrimination, abuse, sexual assault, rape, bullying, and more.

 

Why is it so hard to speak up?

 

Are we just to remain silent and bury our pain? Why does everything have to be a competition? “They had it worse.”

 

“just man up.” A message that is said so much, but never helps.

 

Are we really just weak as they said? Are we really just the snowflakes as they claim we are? Are we supposed to be like the guy who says, “if he dies, he dies?”

 

Are we supposed to be just pretending everything is all fine and dandy when haunted by the shadows of our past or even the shadow that currently haunt us?

 

What are we even supposed to be doing? How is being silent and keeping it buried in us going to help us heal? It’s no wonder suicide was so high. We’re supposed to only shed tear for a certain appropriate time or we’re weak? We’re supposed to just walk it off or just deal with the issue alone?

 

We can’t do this alone, we can’t just pretend the world is sunny and bright when it’s raining, and we can’t just keep it all inside.

 

Even in other  societies, they tell you never to make waves or rock the boat. A nail that sticks up gets hammered down. What good does it do to keep it bottled up? Why is society so afraid of hearing us?

 

Speaking up is not weakness, it takes an extreme amount of courage to speak. It can even be painful to open up.

 

We should speak up. I can’t say it would heal or not, but at least we can be supportive and empathetic. You’re not a snowflake, you’re not weak, you’re not wrong to speak up and you matter.,. We all matter. It should never be ok to silence people.

 

It’s not one-upmanship, we all go through things and deserve to be heard and supported. You’re not talking over one or drawing attention away from anyone else. A medical clinic can help all patients, why shouldn’t this be the same?

Circumcision is evil.

  Imagine if you will a small baby boy just born today. He is perfectly healthy and there’s no issues at all. A doctor or a nurse would take the baby away and have him completely naked. He’s then strapped into a circumstraints. His arms and legs tied down. His penis exposed to the world. The doctor gets the baby’s penis hard and then pries the foreskin apart, tearing it from the glans it was sealed to. The baby screaming bloody murder. Then the doctor inserts a metal tube into his foreskin and pressing it against the glans, tying the base end of the foreskin and then crushing the foreskin and cutting it off. The baby who is still screaming and screaming then passes out in shock. Then the doctor or the nurse brings back the baby to the parents, “your baby slept through the whole thing.” Clearly lying. Then with the foreskin (some claim to just throw it away) but some doctors sell it for profit. 100 baby boys die each year from circumcision. Most of Europe and Asia do not c...

toxic masculinity.

 What is toxic masculinity? Truth be told? Nothing. It's just a made-up word to dehumanize boys and men and blame them for everything. Why do we need to blame men for every single thing that is wrong in the world? They, the feminists, love to believe that men have power and that all men are responsible for everything. Which is a huge steaming pile of bullshit.  what purpose does it serve to blame men for everything? What do we hope to achieve from this? If we're going to want to fix actual problems going on, then we need to look to what is actually causing them and not blame it on men. Men are not the problem.  This is also something I found from a site on "examples of toxic masculinity." https://www.aurorand.org.uk/news/top-10-toxic-masculinity-behaviours "Top 10 Toxic Masculinity behaviors Being stoic Men are constantly given the message that they must be self-reliant, independent, physically tough etc. Men are told that to be this way will make them successful...

my history part 1

  My history part 1 1997 - 1999   (I’m just going to tell bits and pieces of my history, I don’t remember too many details or an exact timeline, so it’s kind of scattered.)     (I’m going to talk about my teacher in high school. I want to make myself perfectly clear here, this is not a #metoo, I’m not trying to say she did anything because I don’t remember and I am not sure she did anything wrong. I’m not even trying to say I’m a victim either, because that’s disrespectful and it’s not what I’m trying to do here.)   I don’t think I want to say her name, only that she was a blonde woman teaching at my high school when I started. I was bullied every day for many of my school years. I hated it there. She was the only teacher that was kind to me. She seemed to understand I was upset and having trouble. I also had a school counselor who understood and tried to be helpful.   The thing is, I don’t remember any other teacher trying to take me and ...
