This type of magical thinking from those who are there to guide us and should know better is everywhere where women can be pushed down. I even came across it in mediation when a mediator told me that to negotiate how much time my child spent with my ex, I had to “think positively and leave the past in the past as those events weren’t relevant to today” My ex was abusive so you can imagine how that went down with me.
Well their last line is spot, “you can chose too participate in it or not”. Well Zawn, I think that means quiet quit or leave ‘em because we can’t change anyone
I kid. We all know damn well this advise columnist doesn’t mean that. She really means “put your head down and deal with it…because he isn’t going to change”.
Dear lord, I don't think I've ever seen such awful, dismissive, patronising, gaslighting nonsense as the "advice" they give this poor woman. Honestly, what the actual patriarchal bullshittery f***??? I will be forever grateful that we have found you, Zawn, and your unyielding incontrovertible reason.
Sounds like the kind of people who say “manifest” a lot. It’s like they took Hegel and ran off a cliff with it. Setting aside the glaring sexism for just a moment, this is the inner-locus of control argument that cuts off any discussion of addressing systemic problems and strait up victim-blames.
LOL!!!! Those people make me crazy. I work in media&marketing and for some reason these people just can't shut up about that damn law of attraction new age junk in our online forum
realistically, it's for people who are a combination of desperate and powerless (and frankly not very educated otherwise they'd be more interested in learning real skills than learning tv guru nonsense) to pretend they have more power in the control of their person than they actually do. it gives them a sense of control like any other religious garbage does. it's just so selfish to further an immoral and clearly silly belief system though.
