Do you think stay at home moms are lazy?

This depends much on what she does while she's at home to be honest.

I mean if you make sure the kids are being raised, clean the house, keep things running. Do administrative stuff "the works" it's far from "being lazy".

However, i have seen and been with people that do absolutely nothing... just, nothing. And yes, in that case it is laziness.

It mostly depends on the attitude of said stay at home mom i believe. It's difficult to draw a conclusion based on very little knowledge of the situation.

So my answer is both conflicting and useless to you. Huzzah!

Will 2017 be remembered for the empowered women coming out of the shadows of abuse?

One of my social workers years ago (we're talking late 2006/eleven years ago who was supposed to be trying to "rehabilitate" me into returning to the workforce), questioned of why I was opting to return to school not "looking like a girl" when I spoke about my choice of new clothes for the beginning of the next school year and out-right asked if my choice of baggy clothes and "non-feminine" look was to seem "unappealing/attractive" to the opposite ***sex. We then also had a discussion of why I should wear skirts and make-up to an interview rather than just looking presentable and professional. Apparently to her, "professional" or "serious" meant make-up, fancy hair and high heels.

That wasn't my reason for choosing such attire for going back to school (an adult college which thankfully, uniforms are NOT a rule unlike public high schools). At the time, I just felt comfortable in baggy men's clothing or gender neutral looks. But apparently it meant that I must have been actively trying to "conceal" myself.

But really? Let's face it. "Female" clothes are uncomfortable as poop most of the time! They're not made for comfort, and their pocket space and functionality SUCK. So sue me, I love/loved baggy men's jeans, J-belts and t-shirts and jackets that were three sizes too big.

Odd, generally i hold the same standards to women as i hold to men in a professional environment . Which pretty much comes down to, "wear what is expected for the job". So office meetings, suit/pants suit. Friday in the back on the storage, whatever feels comfy. (Etc. etc.)

But being from northwestern Europe perhaps the culture is a bit different here. The need to look presentable doesn't equal the need to look attractive.

Why is lesbian filtered?

Likely a stock filter. I'm sure the admin will take care of it.

What is it you are Thankful for?

We don't celebrate thanksgiving here but!

Thankful that my mother survived her stroke and hoping she'll recover at least somewhat alright (it's incredibly frustrating when you want to speak but can't get your mouth to make the right vowels etc.)

Thankful that i survived every encounter of violence without any permanent injury besides one knee being a bit wonky when it gets cold.

Thankful for having been able to turn my back on my former religion (not going into detail as i'm not looking for offend anyone). That path is now fully behind me as much as the people who believed to be "holy men/women" are below me.

And finally, thankful that scars do heal and fade in time and that fear and shame can become distant echos.

Will 2017 be remembered for the empowered women coming out of the shadows of abuse?

It's been a year of false abuse allegations and being acused of being a nazi just for being white, male and from nordic descend.

Honestly i grow ever more distrustful of women in general and have begun avoiding both friend and relationships because of this. Too much of a chance to shake a hornets nest.

2017 will go down for me like the year the sheer act of existing for me was considered a crime against society.

I have a bit of a dilemma.

Honestly, honestly may sting a little. But letting something like this linger for too long will just give the currently mild situation a chance to blow up.

My 2 cents.
