Take Offence Thursday: Do Women Have Souls?
Feminism is often talked about as though it is an affront to all things manly and that saddens me as that isn't what it was meant to be.
Feminism is often talked about as though it is an affront to all things manly and that saddens me as that isn't what it was meant to be. I wish there were another word for it like Flubbertin. Then I would call myself a Flubbertinist. Perhaps, that way it would not offend everyone so much.I think it’s important for both guys and gals to understand their history or we’ll repeat it. TOT (Take Offence Thursday) gives everyone an opportunity to see where the first wave of feminists found the courage to fight. It may seem like a long time ago but the balance we have now is so precarious, and the only way we can move forward is by recognizing what we originally wanted. It has to be Continuous Improvement!
The quote may sometimes be offensive but the point is to absorb it and then let it go. Which is why it is often a short post! Enjoy!
“Woman is soulless and possesses neither ego nor individuality, personality nor freedom, character nor will.”
-Otto Weininger,
And I will let that one sink in... Maybe he only meant that we were witches...I don't know. Either way it is kind of funny as all things tend to be with time. Share for laughs!

In Athens, it was custom to bring up a girl using this philosophy-
Under the strictest restraint, in order that she might see as little, hear as little and ask as few questions as possible."
In 2018 it is plain to see why you may want a female population that has this mentality. Information is the only way we can make informed decisions, but if you never see or hear anything, you would always be dependent on other people to decide for you.
One of the main reasons it would be great to see more women in STEM is because it would give women more access to information and research which could bring forth more innovation than we have ever had!

Take Offence Tuesday: Women Can't Write?
Take Offence Tuesday is about appreciating the heights we have reached in just a few decades. It is easy to sometimes forget where we started but it is important to remind ourselves.

TOT (Take Offence Tuesday) invites women to be offended by the old school of thought that limited their lives to house hold chores. Once you have read some of these, it is important to let them go and allow your actions to create balance and equality.
This is a conversation between Dorothy Sayers in which she defends her ability to connect with her fellow man.
“A man once asked me ... how I managed in my books to write such natural conversation between men when they were by themselves. Was I, by any chance, a member of a large, mixed family with a lot of male friends? I replied that, on the contrary, I was an only child and had practically never seen or spoken to any men of my own age till I was about twenty-five. "Well," said the man, "I shouldn't have expected a woman (meaning me) to have been able to make it so convincing." I replied that I had coped with this difficult problem by making my men talk, as far as possible, like ordinary human beings. This aspect of the matter seemed to surprise the other speaker; he said no more, but took it away to chew it over. One of these days it may quite likely occur to him that women, as well as men, when left to themselves, talk very much like human beings also.” ― Dorothy L. Sayers,

This is a short quote written by Aristotle who dominated the central school of thought during his era. He is notoriously known for some of his less feminist comments and it is nice to see that we have risen above a time when ideas like his were seen as fact.
