What I find horribly interesting in these relationship threads where people
say; she did this, she did that, bla, bla, bla, focusing what somebody else
does while failing to shine that ever so critical light on themselves as if they
themselves are so perfect. And it is usually the woman’s fault while always
ignoring, failing to take any credit or responsibility for their own ‘imperfections.’
As the old saying goes . . . it cuts both ways.
The misogyny and objectification here, is many times, so obvious and sad.
I guess I should not be surprised as bodybuilding is such a self-centered
activity where one focuses solely on themselves, usually at the expense
of others. Over time many lose any degree of introspection, empathy or
understanding of their effect on others.
And me? Well, I probably hold the world record for mucking up relation-
ships, making poor choices, hurting others while protecting myself image
such as it was and still is I suppose. Clearly I have been guilty of what I
am alluding others do and it is not a place I was proud to occupy.
It would really be much welcomed breadth of fresh air to see a thread
praising the virtues and qualities of a woman or another person for that
matter. Instead, we see an almost endless stream of name calling and
blame or worse.
Of my soapbox.
