I really liked this article. As a woman who is surrounded by radical feminists and red pillers alike-- and those who are in-between-- I have a hard time parsing how exactly I feel about all of this (whatever "this" is). I don't know where the line is, if there is a line at all, and most alarmingly I don't know how sexuality fits into 2018 society. I was not alive during the 70's, I don't know what it was like to feel sexually liberated for the first time, I don't know what it was like in emerging tech culture. I don't know what it should be like. I don't know the ideal dynamics, I don't even know what people are talking about when they talk about "female empowerment". I feel empowered, I guess? I mean I definitely don't feel oppressed. I honestly go through life with the outlook that I'm responsible for the people I surround myself with and I'm responsible for creating my own opportunities, standing up for myself, the whole 9-yards. I don't think we have reached the "right" perspective in society, even though many people think we're very close. We're apparently simultaneously very close to "equality" (whatever that means) and very far away from it. But it's necessary. Analyzing an era retrospectively is really interesting for that reason. You can see the mass-consciousness that influenced everyone, you can see people getting caught up in the energy of their time. And I wonder what will be said about our time in 50 years. We still look at things with a dualistic perspective; is it right, or is it wrong? I think what I'm looking for in general is balance-- in that, there is no right or wrong, it's a dynamic definition, if it should be defined at all-- and I think the movements of different times take extremes in order to bring balance. A good deal of my thoughts about our culture at the moment is that we are right at the tip of extremism, trying to balance the opposite extremes of the ages before us. So I wonder what balance looks like. If equilibrium can be reached, does that mean stagnation? Surely a bomb will be thrown at the resting pile and we'll have to find balance within that system once again. Maybe the question I'm asking, maybe the question every body is asking, is what's my role in this? I'd rather not think about it and just live my life the way I want to live, but surrounded by so many extremes, so many ideals, I find I'm constantly being pushed to participate. And maybe that's not a bad thing. I tend to throw a little middle-ground in there. It's very complex at the moment.
