Doesn’t feminism basically boil down to “everyone should be equal”?

I think I agree with most everything RBG has said for example. Women should be anywhere decisions are made, etc. I struggle with her statement that it will only be enough when all the justices are women. I don’t think men should be excluded. I understand folks that are fine with the pendulum swinging that far, men have controlled women for as much of history as I have learned about. I would think a diverse representative body of justices that include men, women, along with disadvantaged groups (be it sexual orientation, gender, race, etc) would be the goal. I’m not smart like her, and she’s certainly more informed than I am on the topic, so I figure I don’t understand because everything else from her seems intuitively obvious and easy to follow for me.

If that was my life circumstances and it was allowed I would push the buttons to cast her vote in whatever way she wanted even if it differed from how I was going to vote in my ballot. Pushing her aside isn’t a good look but maybe she told him ahead of time. I have my ballot printed and everything highlighted after researching local issues and candidates so I can just go in and vote without having to try interpreting everything on the spot at the booth. I guess I would like to naively believe that a husband and care taker would respect his spouse enough to honor her wishes at the booth. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if that wasn’t true though.

I think I might have gotten into my own head with it when I first noticed what you meant when I touched my lips. I touched my genitals after and then went to my thighs. My lips and genitals I can clearly feel that they are being touched by my finger and I don’t feel it through my finger. So I started poking my thighs, chest, back, feet, etc and it kept feeling the same but I think I was pushing too hard or had the experiment in my head too much. After reading this post I can feel the difference testing my lips vs my forehead and from there I seem to weirdly be able to tell my brain is influencing wether I feel the sensation through my thigh or my finger if I do that next. If I go from my lips to my thigh I feel it in my thigh, if I go from my forehead to my thigh I feel both through my finger. It’s like my brain is screwing with me/itself because it knows what I’m doing. I bet if I was less focused on what I’m trying to experiment with that I could do it in a more decoupled way. Such a small but cool bit about myself that I had no idea was a thing. Thank you for explaining and walking me through the process.

Edit: I think I reversed the sensation direction in my first response, my only excuse is that this is kind of wild and new territory for me so I think I struggle communication the different sensations that I never even realized I was capable of until now. Your explanation and guidance was still right on though. Thank you

What does it mean if the sensation always seems to be “my finger is touching” vs “I’m being touched by a finger”? I feel like I completely understand what you’re getting at and it’s something I’ve never thought about before so I’m touching myself all over but everything feels like it’s being touched by my finger. I haven’t found a spot that feels like my finger is touching it yet and I really want to.

Do you lack the ability to think of others when looking at the graph?

I have crossed paths with a couple celebrities that I was surprised had top secret clearances at the (based on open drug use). That part doesn’t really surprise me. His propensity for blackmail is what I find troubling. He may not be a financial risk but he’s certainly a risk due to his desire for control and/or power.

This response is so wild to me. Nobody even needs to talk to a cop. Having an additional drop off location at a police station is more convenient than not having it. Walk into building, put envelope in box, walk out. Makes sense for any government funded building that’s already required to be staffed 24/7 and monitored by CCTV, the police department included.

OMG!!!!! I was friends with a girl (smalls) in the early 2000’s at tech school for the Air Force and every once in a while throughout the years when I’ve thought about her I’ve always wondered what this book was and tried to figure out a way to google it so I could get a copy. You have solved a twenty+ year life mystery for me, thank you so much!

I mow plenty, everything gets mulched. I do adjust the deck height so the lawn is 4 1/4 inches tall in the summer and work it shorter by half an inch a cut until it’s under 3 inches on my last mowing. You can try gate keeping lawn mowing to be consistent with whatever fairly tail you got yourself committed to telling but that doesn’t make it real.
