Seren and I had a cozy evening with this memoir. Reached about the halfway mark, but now I need to get some sleep!

This seems so obvious, and yet it‘s just not true for A LOT of men. I‘m certainly not saying every man, but the loudest, most vocal, most powerful men certainly. Not to mention all the men who look up to those men as the ideal of manhood and masculinity.

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie she was actually comparing heterosexual ideals to queer ones. That in heterosexual culture it‘s about what is most pleasurable to the man, not is pleasurable for the woman, ever. In queer culture it‘s how much pleasure a body can experience. Full stop. She was baffled by a survey where every straight man said sex was over when he came. She said “I can‘t imagine sex with my wife being over just because either of us came.” 🤣😂🤣 6h
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie basically, the whole books can be boiled down to “straight men think they are entitled to sex” and “heterosexuals, are you okay?” 6h
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics exactly. Men think sex is for them. That‘s it. Women are an object to achieve it whether they want it or not. 5h
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie yup! I loved this book. It was just a little snarky, just a little funny, but very poignant and important. 4h

WHAT THE ACTUAL FLYING 🤬?!
Sadly, given the state of affairs between men and women these days, I think this has just become the quiet part we don‘t actually say out loud. “Men‘s latent cruelty in courtship and women‘s receptivity to pain and domination as core heterosexual impulses.”

#MentalHealthMonday check in

1. I‘m tired & disappointed I didn‘t sleep well. But I‘ll be OK. I have to remind myself it‘s not a moral failing to be tired.
2. I used to think feeling sad for ANY reason meant I was mentally unwell. I now know mental health (for me) isn‘t about feeling happy vs. feeling sad. It‘s about emotional regulation. Processing & expressing my feelings in healthy ways rather than ignoring them or trying to erase them. ⬇️

CatLass007 I found out in December that I have an ulcer. My GI doc told me to stop taking my arthritis medication, Celebrex, and all NSAIDS. My primary care doctor first prescribed a topical pain medication that didn‘t work. Then he dragged his heels about giving me a referral to Pain Management. I only stopped taking my old med last week and it‘s taking a couple of days for the new pain med to take effect. When I awoke this morning my knee hurt so (cont)⬇️ 10h
CatLass007 much I could barely walk. Finally, finally! I started getting relief late this morning. I‘m figuring out how long I can go between doses and setting alarms accordingly. I feel very relieved. @Kerrbearlib Kerry, you are so right! I spent the first 30 years of my life not knowing there were no “bad” feelings. It‘s the expression of feelings that is either healthy or unhealthy. So I‘ve spent the last 30+ years of my life figuring out the (cont)⬇️ (edited) 10h

CatLass007 The longer I spent learning the old way of thinking and behaving the longer I spend unlearning it all. It does get easier and it does get better. 10h
Kerrbearlib @CatLass007 I am glad you‘re getting some pain relief. I hope it continues! I‘ve spent a lot of time unlearning old ways too. It makes me feel hopeful to hear things get easier - thank you! 6h
CatLass007 You‘re welcome.❤️ 6h

A pretty average month for me. Two books were mostly read in January (The Shining and Make-Up Effects), so I read two books, three comics, and two audiobooks. I'm hoping to finish my current read this weekend 😁
