Women’s Creations, History, Truth

[Wisdom_Seeker]

Given it's the topic at hand, I can only take the moment to honor my own mother as well. While my father shirked all responsibility and abandoned my life, it's only because of mother's efforts that I'm educated and passionate enough to make these articles in turn. Perhaps that's why I feel so strongly about the matter. Sadly, one can see attacks on women again even recently. The invasion of women's sports, the commonality of "incel" mentalities among certain groups (I've heard some genuine horror stories coming out of South Korea, for instance), and the welcoming of Islam to the West. We here at least, will not fall prey to these things. Though much has been lost, we've been making sure the great women of our past receive the respect and adoration they are owed.

Your tale resonates with me, NG Arcadia. As someone who lost his father at a very young age, I was left under the protective eye of my mother, who has been my source of motivation and the main reason for my educational success. My family was heavily abused and manipulated by my relatives, which also caused my dad to develop high levels of stress that ultimately led to his death. After his passing, she had to do male and female duties to feed my brother and me and secure us a bright future ahead in the face of overwhelming odds. I remember when I was a child, and my mom was working as a cleaner in a boutique to earn enough money for us. I started sleeping on a chair and almost fell from it, but she dropped her paraphernalia and quickly rushed to embrace me and prevent me from falling. That experience has haunted me since then, making me appreciate her and womankind in general for what it has to go through.

We faced lots of obstacles in life, and almost even got evicted from the apartment, despite my family losing everything in the war and my dad putting his life on the line for this country. She refused to surrender and fought like a lion, eventually winning the court case and ensuring we would not end up homeless, thanks to her perseverance and the help of a righteous gentleman who worked in the syndicate. Thanks to her diligence and sacrifice, I was honored with an opportunity to pursue a college education, during which her example empowered me to study devoutly until I obtained my degree.

She's pushing into her 70s at the moment, and she is still strong physically and mentally, even though she had to do everything around the house, including traditionally male jobs, while working as a stylist. There are many great women in the past who nurtured great men, as the saying goes: "Behind every strong man is a strong woman." We can think of Olympia for Lord Alexander, Klara Hitler for Lord Hitler, and many more.

where they cannot bear to even listen to a female voice for a second.

Women’s tongues are like lambs' tails — they are never still. (English)
The North Sea will sooner be found wanting water than a woman at a loss for words. (Jutlandic)
Where there are women and geese, there’s noise. (Japanese)
Nothing is so unnatural as a talkative man and a quiet woman. (Scottish)

These sound funny at first sight, don't they? A researcher on language and gender decided to look into this phenomenon of gossip only being associated with women, although everyone engages in it. These kinds of sayings exist in societies where women are not even allowed to speak with men or make eye contact with them. In Islamic places where women are not allowed to speak back to their ''owner'' father or husband. So, how do expressions about women speaking too much exist in places where women are not allowed to speak?

Dale Spender in Man Made Language (1980) suggests that the belief that women talk too much is explained by the fact that any talk from a woman is considered ‘too much’. That is to say, women do not need to speak very much in order to be perceived as speaking too much.

The talkativeness of women has been gauged not in comparison with men but with silence. Any woman who is not silent all the time is speaking too much. That book's writer is a Feminist but I don't think she is one of the weird jewish ones.

SG Karnannos's observation is true and has been a topic of discussion among linguists.

This is from a different post of High Priestess Lydia, but I think it fits here quite well.

A lot of men simply don't understand that woman aren't supposed to be uneducated and silent all the time, they look to xian beliefs and think that's it.

It is such a common misconception, that all women are gossips and men never gossip. There are so many women who are reserved in speech and so many men who enjoy gossiping, but this is ignored. Reality is ignored. Men of the past centuries formed opinions by what they heard from other men, and men now form opinions by what they read on the internet. Observing reality was only for the few with sense. I am so thankful I had a good father who had common sense and formed his own opinions.
