RE: No drama, good life - EcoTrain Question Of The Week!

in ecoTrain5 years ago

Here in Chile on March 8, men who were walking in the protest got punched, thrown stones and beer at. I have many Facebook contacts that rant 24/7 about their hate towards men. So it affects me, it makes me want to react and say something about it because I've never hit a woman, raped, diminished her or treated her like she was inferior and I'm sure there are many men like me.

I didn't talk about women or children because it's not something I see every day. The women and children I live with are independent, strong and never play the victim role, so that's what I see every day. I don't watch the news and am not reminded constantly of murder and rape if that's what you meant.

But animals... they get slaughtered by the millions on daily base and with absolute approval from most of society and since I consider them to be even more innocent, it hurts me more. I do get reminded of it daily as I see people eating them all the time. I see in the pastures of dry grass with sun over their heads and not a tree to take shadow below. I see them deprived of any chance to choose the path they wish to walk and live a complete life.

Well, I don't think I have the truth about everything. I only mentioned the things that I was seeing on daily basis and making me want to react.

Have a happy Sunday as well :)

We clearly live in different worlds and I hope the women and children are all independent, highly educated, have a job, get equally paid. I wonder why the men were stoned in your country. It's what I see in a part of my world. Women stoned to death, set afire, women, and children killed by men, their own (ex) husband and father.
I do not watch tv for at least 10 years but I think it's way longer. I do not read newspapers and am not on FB.
I worked for years with damaged women, damaged children and after I gave up on them I worked and took care of animals. Animals molested by humans.

I doubt anyone has the answer to what we all make out of this world, how we no longer respect nature, each other. I guess that's the price we pay for freedom.

Stay safe 💕

Which country do you live in?

The Netherlands.

Wow, I would expect that to be a country that is more advanced in equality and human rights... Guess I was wrong!

You are wrong for sure. My granny had more freedom as my daughters.
