    Yes, it is actually a good point. I don't have much interest in those without a bit of an edge. They come across as wusses.
  2. Arielle Popstar
    How about those who remember this?

    But then that is because men are more likely to suffer from workaholism and wont have interruptions from being pregnant and raising the children. Women are happiest when they are the caregivers and are easier to give up their careers for the sake of family. There are a number of additional of reasons why this is so for that small percentage of the rich and powerful. I'd link you to a JP video for a more in depth discussion about it but I do know your eyes may roll out of your head only because he so trashes your biases with facts

    I've seen the opposite or seen the justification that since the woman intended to have and raise the children, it made more sense to prioritize his career rather than hers. It made more economical sense in the long term. So maybe in more "enlightened" regions it is based on other factors rather than just gender but you only see what confirms your own bias in your neighborhood? Not very "scientific" is it?

    Maybe back in the days you took your women's studies classes but that is really not the reality today. A woman's word is usually believed before a man's unless she has really messed up.
  6. Arielle Popstar
    Really? Where do you get that? One only has to look at many sitcoms and movies to realize that culturally we expect the woman to control the situation and save the bumbling men from making dire mistakes.
  7. Arielle Popstar
    Yes maybe though not so much today, In fact when a woman has to be the defendant, she already didn't utilize her powers to determine the outcome prior to it being a legal matter.
  8. Arielle Popstar
    Yes I know, you've mentioned it many times. All it seems to have done is given you a greater sense of confirmation bias and unwillingness to look at counter proposals or new information and studies. Men have control after we spend a bit of time manipulating them to make the decision we want them to so they only think they are in control. Did you not learn that at your mothers knee?
  9. Arielle Popstar
    Yes if not even more so. I am agreeing with you. The one who is being propositioned has all the power and that is most often the female. It is funny in a way when there is talk about the dominant being dominant when ultimately they have to rely on the acceptance of the submissive. Who really has the ultimate power?

    "Historically" in another time and place there were a small segment of women who did not have much in the way of a choice but the neither did men for those who were under the arranged marriages culture. Violence towards women out of wedlock usually resulted in the death of perpetrators when caught. This idea you have of women not having power is just a myth. Women have their wiles and only those who never learned those wiles lacked power.
  11. Arielle Popstar
    Not if they don't have an extra. These days I see a lot less men portraying a full woman.
  12. Arielle Popstar
    The one who has the power is the one who only has to say "No, thank you" and go on with what they are doing.

    Yes and that is a good point I have tested by going to the same club with my main avi that is admittedly pretty and dressed well and my alt wearing a 200L complete avatar that's ok but nothing to write home about. My main has stood hours and even days at that location with a rare IM complimenting the look and little else. I thought the club was full of people parked there and afk until one day I brought the alt in wearing the complete avatar outfit and she started getting peppered with IM's before she had even finished loading. More then a few of the IM's, still respectful, were hinting at more then her prettiness and wanting to go somewhere quieter. One can be too pretty and done up but in either case, I find disrespectful IM's to be a rare thing. The more aggressive gender is actually other female identifying avatars. They have a greater tendency in my experience to expect that I will go and do whatever they have a mind to which is usually some form of slex.

    No, it infers why do some people grow up and others don't. Some learn to deal with life on life's terms and others choose to remain a snowflake, ready to melt at the slightest hint of a challenge.

    This thread:

    That sounds like an assumption especially considering your history of mentioning the various relaxation and spiritual groups you are involved with, especially if those groups are listed in your profile. To me if i was looking for relaxation techniques, you ae one of the first I would ask should I see you inworld.
  17. Arielle Popstar
    You realize some might consider this as a marketable skill? The subsection of the Forum called Make Friends is filled with threads asking for and how to attract prospective friends and partners and here you are blocking the same! 😉

    You're fortunate that you had a choice of putting the book down. I had to suffer through the trauma of reading it in its entirety as part of a class curriculum.
  19. Arielle Popstar
    I find for me that the only time I get IM's from random strangers is when I am at club where it is to be expected. Learning how to deal with them appropriately was and is a part of a goal I set for myself in SL. When I am not it in the mood, I either don't go clubbing or hang out on my Opensim grid where I have more privacy and only hear from friends. I do get bothered with the almost constant barrage of group notices though. I find that harder to deal with then random strange men IM's. I don't want to shut those off because there is always that 1 in 10 item I might go gaga over but slogging through the ones I don't want, can be a chore.

    Not really. There are still questions being asked by astrophysicists as to why we have the sort of eclipses we do for example. There is plenty of other examples too where Science is less concerned with the Why of a thing then the How.
  21. Arielle Popstar
    Seems to me Science explains how it happens while preachers and I guess politicians try to answer why it happens.
  22. Arielle Popstar
    Well maybe it is the left brain thinking that leads to conspiracies but ultimately to results in the progress of science.
  23. Arielle Popstar
    Seen one, seen them all I figure.
  24. Arielle Popstar
    I don't know about all that as I seen the post after it was anonymized so I was more focused on her question about: So seemed to me she is looking on how to do it also.
  25. Arielle Popstar
    Looking forward to it and I think there might be some working already on how to do it.
