Respecting Boundaries: Navigating Online Interactions with Sensitivity In the vast and sometimes volatile landscape of online interactions, one thing remains paramount: respect. It's disheartening when a simple comment on a post intended for one person attracts unwanted attention and sparks unnecessary conflict. Let's unpack a recent scenario to shed some light on the importance of maintaining civility in online discourse. I recently came across a post discussing an anti-rape device distributed in South Africa, a country where the threat of sexual violence looms large for many women. The device, a plastic insert, serves as a grim but necessary precaution against potential assault. However, what caught my attention wasn't the device itself, but rather the ensuing conversation. One individual, to whom I had directed my initial comment, seemed to suggest a lenient view towards perpetrators of sexual violence. This stance struck a chord with me, as an independent woman and surv

On Dating I was asked by an oversensitive male or three and a few apparently morally lacking females have never done something embarrassing. Sure I have but never something so stupid or disgusting as going to bed with some dude I don't know on the first date or picking up human feces. I have better judgment than this idiot obviously because (1) I wouldn't ever date offline (2) I'm not trash that goes picking up shit (3) I'm no slut so I wouldn't be going to some dude's house on the first date. Common sense says you don't do any of those and a lot of other stuff so you avoid being a laughing stock or called a whore. Sorry, this female who acted a whore and went to this dude's house on the first date and then played with her shit IS inferior to me and hopefully almost every other person on the planet. You made a crack about me being single. Nice try at shaming me for being happy! Didn't work!! Why would I want to get married? I don't need a ma

Embracing Independence: Why I've Decided to Stop Dating In a world where dating apps and blind dates dominate the scene, I've made a bold decision: I've stopped dating altogether. And let me tell you, it's been the most liberating choice I've ever made. Gone are the days of stressing over what to wear, where to meet, and whether or not there will be a spark. Instead, I've embraced my independence and reclaimed control over my life. One of the key reasons behind my decision? Safety. Call me cautious, but I refuse to let anyone into my personal space. That means no inviting dates to my home or sharing my address. I've always been a "meet you there" kind of person, and I intend to keep it that way. Maintaining boundaries is crucial in today's world, especially when it comes to dating. By keeping my home and workplace off-limits to romantic interests, I ensure that my safety and security remain uncompromised. Let's talk about transportation. S

Cultivating the Garden of Love: A Reflection In the garden of the heart, love is the tender seedling that yearns for nurturing care to blossom into its full splendor. Much like a delicate flower, love requires constant attention and tending to thrive amidst life's ever-changing seasons. It's a notion that resonates deeply with me: the belief that true love, the kind that transcends fleeting infatuation and surface-level affection, possesses a resilience that withstands the test of time. For true love is not merely a passing fancy or a fleeting attraction—it is an enduring bond that weathers the storms of life and emerges stronger for it. In our fast-paced world, it's all too easy to mistake the spark of lust or the allure of fondness for the enduring flame of genuine love. Yet, true love is not defined by fleeting passions or fleeting pleasures; it is rooted in a deep and abiding connection that transcends the superficialities of attraction. Like any living thing, love requ
