My field of study I haven't determined. I am taking college slow and just getting a ton of general classes out of the way.
I am thinking either nutrition or pharmacology. Both of which are fairly different.
I fully support anyone's choice of way of life. I understand that there are many ways to live, but mine just happens to be what works for me.
I was just curious if if was common.
Also my previous christian life didn't create completely my idea on gender roles. I grew up in a house with a father who was from Laos who instilled the idea of set gender roles (and those ideas weren't presented as a go along with God).
I don't want to tell other people how to live, nor should people tell me how to live.
I believe everyone should be compassionate about other people's lives.. which includes being tolerate of beliefs even if you disagree.
I think there's some atheist who are very angry and I am not an angry atheist. I care about people and I care about people being happy. I think if being religious makes you happy that's okay and if not believing is what brings you joy okay.
People strive to feel like they are right and no one is really right. What works for you might not work for everyone.
I feel like some people who come off very angry may put people off the message that's presented. If a Christian is telling you you're gonna burn in hell that might not make you want a bible (although you shouldn't want one), but similarly if an atheist is telling a Christian they're stupid that isn't helpful either.
Opening up an honest and civil dialogue is extremely important!
Again, why the fuck should it matter to you who pays the bills? Because some old people said so?
No, what matters is that it works. Just like if a female doctor gives me a life saving operation. Seriously, why should I give one fuck that someone with a vagina saved my life? I lived, that is what matters.
In my 50 years of life, I have run into countless females far more capable than me depending on topic. I have had female bosses and I don't feel the slightest bit of same for that. What matters is what works and who can do the job. And it is most CERTAINLY even within a family, for a female to lead.
If you cant handle that, the problem is you, not females.
Makes sense, but on that note what if that's the situation
In any gender I suppose.. what if my boyfriend is working and I lose my job and he becomes the provider. In that way if I'm still trying to find work but am at home all day it might be appropriate that I stay home and clean since I'm not working
I think I get what you're saying. I think what you mean is that you shouldn't have to define it. I think what you mean is that a relationship is a relationship and you shouldn't go with a guide.
Life does happen and I guess nothing is set in stone
