No I'm very familiar with the anti-war crowd's logic. I'll wait until someone triggers me today I might produce another great essay.

No, I totally understand feminists' position. Because, I, myself, was once in that dilemma in 8th grade. You want someone else to do the job of being more financially responsible for your life (because the culture conditions you from a young age that it is okay to do so). But you also want to be yourself, which many times, means not following traditional roles and expressions. That position is called having a cake and eating it too. And it's everyone's favorite position.
You spend 3 minutes with “trad” boys and you would understand why they pay for your existence. Their narcissism banks on the fulfillment of a male role in a community. In Asia, it's centered around the family bloodline.
So now there are definitely people who are capable of mutual love and supporting your freedom (as opposed to the sadomasochistic relationship where it's transactional from both sides). Most likely they find the traditional proposal a bad deal for them too. Which means, if they want their own needs met, they would purposely avoid being masochistic.
“But I never say I want to rely on someone else! You mischaracterize me!!!” When you cast yourself as a victim, that's because you want special treatment. That is to say, the sooner you realize your position is impossible, the sooner you find a more realistic solution for your misery.
So sometimes I hear people from Western cultures praise Asian parents for their sacrifice for their children like it's something cool. But they do that in exchange for their control and influence over their children's lives, even when they grow up. The parents can live very modestly and gift their children a house when they get married in their 20s. Sometimes I feel a bit jealous of people I know who are “successful” in their 20s because of generational wealth. But I also know I can literally tell anyone to get lost if I want to, and they can't.
They often sing about how they wait for the girl for 10 years and she go on to be in love with someone else and now this person is full of regret and resentment. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. And no one around seem to have a problem with people doing masochistic things in exchange for something in return because the culture is fine with it. The boy in the songs probably learn masochism from their parents too.
Vietnamese music is horrific. They should just give up on the entertainment business.
See you later.
Hey it's raining.
Talked to my sister today, which brought me back to the reality of normal life of normal people (since lately I've exclusively lived in fantasy). God there are many bland people out there.
As a kid, there are plenty of occasions one can say “This is not right”. They all know it and they choose not to. If they didn't say it back then, they won't do it as adults.
There is a quote about it: “People with great passions, people who accomplish great deeds, people who possess strong feelings, even people with great minds and a strong personality, rarely come out of good little boys and girls.”
I don't understand why tech bros keep sadistically threatening to take away jobs from people who don't want to be employed.
Is that because they resent STEM and their parents take away all the fun in their lives? Because when I said I was preparing for the final term exam, the chemistry dude flatmate told me, “Your major is easy to pass”. And I thought then, “I didn't even know you were struggling at school until just now!”.
If you want to be employed as a 3d artist, you draw something super boring like a rusty bolt. You don't draw pictures of pretty girls in hope that someone would admire your obsession for body symmetry and blandness to pick up your talent for computing. Most of what tech bros see online that they think is super cool is not even stuff used in production. Those are things drawn by people who are too rich or too irresponsible to need a realistic job. Well you can say this is too offensive and being an influencer/youtuber is still a job. But these jobs to be taken away is probably not much of a hit for the victim as you might think it is.
