Apparently people are jumping for joy that the war is over and are starting to have children at alarming rates. My only hope is that the people having children, cherish their relationship and give their children the nurture and care that they need. I dont want this new generation to suffer from the same anxieties that I do.

I found this video that explores my life in depth and talks about the research and theories that I developed throughout my life. Thank you for taking the time to make this video as I did important work for women.

A 2 month getaway sounds amazing. I think I am in need of something similar as I just got out of an 20 year long love affair. Although my symptoms aren’t physical, I feel extremely depressed and unwell. I tend to get sad when I am alone but never mind that. You’re an accomplished scientist and I would love to collaborate on some research. Your idea that we originate from lower life forms is interesting. Based on this idea, do you think we could carry mental traits from earlier life forms and generations. 😉

As a part of my feminine psychology, I explored the concept of the duality among women. It’s often that women identify strongly with mariage and motherhood or focus mainly on their career. There is the idea that women have to choose. I resonate with this concept a lot as I wanted to shape my career as much as possible, but the idea of love always appealed to me. The only good thing to come from the war is the increasing acceptance of women not having to conform to one single role.

Men have consistently fed women the narrative that we are less superior. In reality, men are jealous of us because we have the ability to give birth, the most prized miracle of life. Men can’t handle the fact that women are more superior therefore, they belittle us through resources and opportunities that our offered to us. Men are so jealous of women that it has become an innate trait among them. The envy is what drives mean to be more successful than women and degrade them whenever possible.
