Feminism

Tuesday, March 24, 2009

“Sometimes, of course, women are victims. There are many Rihannas who do not have the escape hatch that being famous allows in this instance. But while feminists whine about false pay gaps and oppression that doesn’t exist, we ignore the mess that we’ve created in rejecting the fact that there is good in nature and tradition. We’ve so confused ourselves that now many teenagers in Boston are excusing Chris Brown. Why wouldn’t they? He and Rihanna are equal, and we expect no more from men — in fact, we’ve conditioned a generation or two now to expect less”

What Feminism Wrought

 

I like posting articles and tidbits because they state my views in much more eloquent terms.

But I will write a blog post about this topic, when time permits.

Leadership

Wednesday, March 18, 2009

“. . .If leaders drive change, then collaboration powers change. It is only when people collaborate —really effectively collaborate — that they come to the best outcomes, and the best answers. And in the end, while I think it’s vitally important how people build their capabilities. . .what will distinguish your life and your leadership, as you go forward, is less your capability and more your collaboration skills and your character, and what you choose to do.”

Self education

"Students have been handed another excuse to skip class from an unusual quarter. New psychological research suggests that university students who download a podcast lecture achieve substantially higher exam results than those who attend the lecture in person."Source

I had an argument with someone about the undergraduate system and its usefulness contrasted to self-learning, at least I know I am not an idiot.I do think we are in store for a revolution in how we think about education, time will tell.

Update:
Maybe it already started:source

"Making sense of others in a social interaction is not easy—each new person we meet may be a source of ambiguous and complex information. However, when encountering someone for the first time, we are often quick to judge whether we like that person or not. In fact, previous research has shown that people make relatively accurate and persistent evaluations based on rapid observations of even less than half a minute"Source

” (Think how humiliating it would be for me to come back and ask you what happened)”

That is why you are not married. Get some self respect, and ask, if you need to take a shot of scotch before that is okay (most guys would just be “hey whatever happened to that Shiduch proposal”, but I understand you are a bit feminine). You are never going to succeed in anything you do if you just expect people to “hook” you up. People look out for themselves.

Wuss.

That is what my reply would have been, but I feel bad.

The rest of the article sounds like a baby whining, funny thing is they put this on one of the more popular Lubavitch website.

And people are commenting “well said”, are we all so pathetic?

Mad men…

Okay…

Faced with some writers block although I am not a writer…

Spoke to a friend about the blog, he tells me I should talk more about my emotions and perspectives.

The thing is I am scared, I feel people know who I am now, and therefore the price might be a bit steep.

In every relationship - including with ones wife- one is faced with two opposite forces. One is intimacy and the other is privacy. In some way I feel like this is not worth it. I am not blogging for very long, but I am already paying a price.

I gain very little from this blog; it seems I am unable to find stimulating conversations and interactions, I am left pondering where people can be found.

Maybe it is me, maybe it is the world. I am finding it hard to live, there are no easy solutions and I don’t know if I am looking for one, but I am dreading the path ahead knowing that no one is out there. I feel like Simba in the lion king screaming for someone to help but no one ever answers. The best solution might just be to run and run, until it catches you.

Somebody once wished me inner peace; the question I asked is: where can it be found?

I don’t get it.
