Last night confirmed not only America’s 45th president, but in complete census showed us how unexpectedly far a malignant mindset has metastasized in our country. Patton Oswald summarized it quite well..

In America, many women are becoming complacent. This is perpetuated by a social drugging phenomenon cyclically reinforced by both sexes.

On the women’s side the process goes something like this:

Girl has impactful goal

Girl witnesses goal progression ROI through a superficial-centric construct among peers

Girl must outwardly display a look befitting social norm

Girl expends resources into a role, coupled with a subjugated behavior that is commensurately reinforced, as strength in women is found unattractive

Over time, the energy expense sculpts a new outer mindset, with tempered goals and warped prerogatives, as weakness gives way to environmental pressure.

On the men’s side there is a very similar progression:

Boy has impactful goal

Boy witnesses goal progression ROI through a superficial-centric construct among peers

Boy must outwardly display a look befitting social norm

Boy expends resources into a role, coupled with a dominant behavior that is commensurately reinforced, as weakness in men is found unattractive

Over time, the energy expense sculpts a new outer mindset, with all-consuming goals and warped prerogatives, as strength befits exuding environmental pressure.

It’s easy to see how one perpetuates the other.

People are actors, and will fall into the roles they are given. But nearly every human is a fighter, and feels the subconscious force of their potential struggling to break out.

But when this force is encased behind a hollow wall of synthetic irrationality, conflict instead leaks out as an extraction of that essence; of spite, jealousy, and materialism, rather than unrestrained productivity.

This is, of course, not news. Devil’s advocates have a hard case disputing the prevalence of gender stereotypes in this country. But action goes farther than words, and the time for doing is now greater than ever.

So, to my fellow lady faces, you underutilized firestorm of innovative potential, please,

Defy these repetitive norms. Don’t give a fuck about what other people think of you, and unmuzzle your muted self, the true self, that is eager to achieve greater things.
