I've experienced firsthand what both testosterone and estrogen as dominant hormone can do to a human's emotions. Neither is innocent when it comes to affecting your emotions, but I'll take what estrogen does any day. When testosterone was in charge, I knew the horror of sudden flashes of violent rage, unwanted excessive competitive desire, and a libido that would not ever calm down. Under estrogen's guidance I experience moments of internal rage, a strong desire to cooperate instead of compete, and a manageable libido (most of the time). Under both I have known crushing despair, extreme elation, frustration, anger, joy, delight, and so many other things. The only difference between the two was how I was expected to channel those based on how society perceived me gender-wise. Men are far from "less emotional than women", they're just not allowed to express many of those emotions freely.

How original?! Showing all men as this. Instead of creating a dichotomy why not see people as people with different shades and colors.

"I know that so many of us women are criticized or shunned by society for not hitting the "right" milestones, not hitting them at the right time, or having entirely different plans than what is expected. My goal is to lift the weight of societal stigma from every woman's shoulder because personal life decisions that don't hurt anyone are not right or wrong, they're simply... personal," the artist shared with Bored Panda.

    Ever heard of pelvic floor muscles? With enough training you can operate certain things with them! Though admittedly gripping would be a bit of a challenge.

    I wholly agree with the content of the image and I agree with your reply that it is a choice. A choice that should be respected and preserved. But your derogatory reference to 'breeding' just serves to evidence the negative societal expectations of women - and not just those who choose to not to have children, but also those who choose to have children, by depicting women who make the choice to have children as having no additional value than their choice to mate and produce offspring like animals... i.e. to breed.

    It reminds me of the documentary "Leftover Women" about Chinese women who don’t get married or late. one of them has an enriching professional activity before getting married and having a child. she then explains that her new life is happy but very boring. I found it so sad (in addition to the other testimonies)

    The problem is that women's clothes, unfortunately, are mostly revealing, sexy clothes. Sexiness is not that important in men's clothing. This is what is causing more backlash against old women on this issue. Revealing and sexy clothes are really looking bad on a very old person and it would look the same if old men did it.

    Actually, they both look fine. Equality means that we should not mock EITHER, and nor should we praise one and vilify the other. Clothes are not restricted by age, gender, or style (outside of cultures where gendered clothing is very strict.)

    We wanted to know if Lainey finds it hard to share a message using drawings or comics. "My mantra is always 'simplify, simplify, simplify' to convey a message," the artist replied, "but I also come from a fashion background and I tremendously enjoy drawing elaborate outfits and many details, so usually my biggest struggle is where to meet with the two. I’m always ecstatic when someone in the comments points out a tiny detail or easter egg they found in the illustration, so it’s worth the extra work!"

    If you're dealing with body image or self-esteem struggles, Lainey suggests beginning your path to healing by connecting with supportive communities in safe spaces "where there is nothing shameful talking about the shared experiences of womanhood from all aspects, and with content (could be books, conversations, social media posts) that challenges internalized toxic beliefs and the status quo. I'm trying to provide both with my illustrations because these things can trigger a beautiful avalanche of self-healing."

    In the Good Old Days- before Agriculture - Men's Magic and Women's Magic - were absolutely equal - at least. The fact that men cannot create life always kind of hurt their feelings though, and made them pissy. We desperately need to get back there.

    I've had 2 marriages. Both lasted 20 years. Something "society" has no idea how to cope with is that humans consistently become different people over time. So... then what?? We're clueless, sadly.

    Um actually you should find your true love, marry them, and spend the rest of your unchanging lives together with zero problems

    I miss who they used to be, or at least who I thought they were

    We miss the people we knew, but people change, and sometimes we love the caterpillar but are not meant to be together as butterflies.

    Can't confirm. My husband is the one who does more chores and stagnates in his carreer while I'm thriving and profiting in my career. He's not dissatisfied though. He's not the ambitious type and so far satisfied with his part of our relationship. The mistake people make is expecting that the expensive party will sort things out, and the relationship will magically become stable and perfect. But in reality your relationship won't change just because you're married. Marriage has absolutely no impact on the relationship. So if you're happy in your relationship and things are stable and satisfying, then marriage is a good idea for legal security and safety. But if you want to do it to 'go the next step' in your relationship, stuff it. It's not repairing whatever you feel should be better. It's not taking your relationship anywhere, where it isn't already. It's only a firm commitment between two people who decided their relationship is worth committing to. But it won't help tying down loose ends. It's an official contract, not a relationship.

    Very well said! I think there is a widespread belief that marriage is magic - that it will "change" a person or relationship. It doesn't. The only thing worse than getting married to "fix" a relationship is having a kid to "fix" it.

    Don't marry any guy who expects or wants his life to remain largely unchanged.

    Broadly true Phil, but I think this refers to the fact that married men live longer than single men and married women die younger than single women.

    Winter in my seventies keeps me indoors as much as possible, because I don't have the strength to carry enough clothes to keep reasonably warm outdoors.

    I have poor circulation - cold weather sucks. Are you using those stick on disposable heating pads? Worth trying for the occasions you have to go out in the cold.

    Don't worry, winter in your 60s is supposed to be in the 60s Fahrenheit. So no Winter at all.

    Very true! Gone back to college after 20 years and man it was so much easier when I could just openly as questions and speak to my professor (the system my college uses is not intuitive or simple at ALL). It's really stressing me out, I'm struggling, but I chose to do this for myself.

    Sometimes you want something and once you have it you find out it actually sucks or wasn't what you thought it would be. It happens and there's no shame in realizing things turned out differently than you thought they would.

    Yes!! I'm so tired of people venting their struggles and then being told "well you chose this." Whether it's a career path, being a parent, an academic pursuit, etc, it's okay to struggle a bit. Especially when it's putting you on a good path.
